How millennials think young people talk
As a millenial it's weird how the generations before us are completely tech illiterate, but also the generation after us. Fuck me, the zoomers are getting stepper machines, thinking they're somehow good and a new thing.
And it is our own fault. We've made much of the stuff zoomers are using. By us black boxing everything in order to make it easier, the zoomers have become insanely tech illiterate
It's weird feeling like we're sandwiched in the middle of tech illiteracy. Like, yo, I can't hold the whole tech stack up myself. You guys gotta learn how to "use the Internet" too.
My sister in law is almost 10 years younger and can't even get Plex running on her Apple TV. Wtf?!
Shout out to all my Generation X peeps--the first generation to spend our teenage/young adult years on the Internet. We still laugh at our Boomer parents who don't know anything about technology. Now we kinda roll our eyes and say "whatever" to all the younger folks who think that we don't either.
There's no way this image isn't from 10+ years ago. It's definitely Boomers writing Millenials
Okay, according wikipedia I'm considered to be an early Millennial. Even I know that this sounds like it was written by a Boomer. The kind of Boomer who owns a phone but turns it off after they're done with their scheduled phone call because they don't want to drain the battery.
And then everyone gets mad at them because they're never reachable and causes problems lmao.
Yeah, you hit the nail on that one!
Bro, I'm GenX and even I know GenZ peeps don't talk like this.
As a millennial, I'd just like to say... #totes #NapoleonDynamite
You forgot the fortnite dance.
I prefer saying biweekly dance.
