Mildly Interesting

Also, the whole “I’m Gen Z and hate Millennial stuff” sounds as fake as you can possibly get.

that's cause it was. I am a zoomer, but I just think millennials hating all the boomers just sounds like a bunch of people who hate their parents or grandparents or whatever. I don't actually give a shit about millennials. I do hate the constant pop culture references to a cultural collective which I was doomed to not be a part of, as I had been born after it had almost finished dissolving, but that's mostly just an annoying thing, and I don't really attribute that specifically to millennials but kind of a broader cultural fuckery.

I'm bitter because I'm a child of the 2010's and that decade was fucking rough for like, shit that was good. I was in my first year of middle school when fnaf came out. The transformers movies and twilight franchise were formative media for me, and not like, things that I was invested in as a youth culture. Which is maybe what I think was happening for millennials, I don't really know, that might be kind of an inbetween era of media, too young for millenials, too old for zoomers. The millennials had pokemon and digimon, I had like, sillybandz and those weird bracelets that everyone was like, this shit is a holographic bracelet that makes you stronger and even at the age of 10 or whatever I was like that shit is fake as fuck man.

I was just trying to make a point about how, eventually, we will all be old. Well, most of us, and by most of us I mean some of us, I dunno if like half of gen alpha is gonna make it to old age, at the rate we're headed.

Also side note but like, millennials were right at the very tail age range of reagan, right? so it's just sort of like, he was the president when all the millennials were just like toddlers and babies, basically. So I doubly kind of don't understand the hate, right, in terms of like. I get it historically, he was a bad president, dissolved all the mental asylums which everyone knows they sucked but then he didn't replace it with anything, dissolved all the social programs and whatever, and then you look at the police recruitment before and after him and it sucks omega hard yadda yadda. But that's all like, stuff that happened for millennials as very young kids. did the 90's and early 2000's suck that much, for all the millennials?

Because I'm assuming that this is kind of like firsthand motivation for everyone, and not just purely historical bitterness, since I see historical bitterness as kind of more disconnected, and dispassionate, capable of like, step back analysis, which maybe pins the blame on reagan as more of like, he was the slammer in pogs. like in pogs how you have the slammer that slams the pogs and then they flip. that's a millennial thing, right? I dunno, I just don't understand it. It's sort of like. I dunno, hating ronald mcdonald reagan and then kind of by extension the boomers is sort of like hating the wind, or something. I understand being bitter about it since all the job prospects are gone and everyone's just working minimum wage garbage labor and nobody has any long term future plans and rent prices are horrible and where I live at least all my friends can deal with that by legal weed, but it's sort of like, I dunno, blaming that on some old freaks is just sort of the same to me as blaming it on like. the old freaks that preceded them. blaming it on grug for inventing fire, which certainly, a lot of people will do.

I wasn't really directing anything at you, I was just sort of like, hating the world and shit, and specifically hating that subset of people that hate the boomers for boomering, because I see it as kind of just like. whining and bitching, kind of. like an unproductive thing. and then on social media, it tends to turn from potentially being like a therapeutic thing, right, where everyone is able to vent about how much things suck, and maybe come to a conclusion collectively about how to change it. and it changes from that into a kind of combination of a toxic echo chamber, where things get ramped up and everyone's attention gets captured and directed towards some absolute nonsense, and also simultaneously you get some blowhard boomer who comes in and is like "what you say fuck me for fuck you guys" and then it turns into a pissing match where everyone tries to roast each other. I dunno I should probably not be posting when I'm hypercaffinated because it just ends up being me venting paragraphs at nobody in particular and doing the same shit I'm bitching at other people for doing.

I'm also like, shit man, I'm not sure you should have my generation's backs. they're just a bunch of dudes, I dunno. I've seen less victims of lead poisoning and horrible corporate propaganda for sure, compared to old people, they are more willing to be like. real and not horrible irony poisoned goblins, ironically. but I've also just seen a lot of chumps who are into like, basically white supremacist memes. I dunno the actual split on that though, it's kind of hard to tell, I have some paragraph about that I could chunk up again for you.

It's also fucking weird how I'm legally capable of drinking alcohol, right, but then some of my generation is apparently in like elementary school watching skibidi toilet and getting fucked up because the internet sucks now but the internet is also basically their parents since their parents are probably both at work full time and teachers are not on top of it. I'm like, those are just the kids bro, that's gen alpha, "the culture" that doesn't exist anymore is also just moving too fast for anyone to keep up with, the changes are too rapid, and you can't really keep track of them with generational cohorts anymore, shit doesn't work.
