Stuff like "Gen Alpha is crazy!1!1!1!1!1!1!" to me is not very different from literally every other generation being complained about so I can safely ignore stuff like that. I don't see how Gen Alpha is super different from any previous generation when they were around the same age.
Young people bad and stupid ๐ก๐ก๐ก!!!!!!! My generation good and smart ๐๐๐!!!!!!!
It's pretty funny to me that the criticisms that were made about millennials are now made verbatim against zedders without a shred of irony or memory. It's like boomers completely glossed over the fact they were saying millenials are spoiled, want everything handed to them, can't hold down a job, and they are now saying the exact same things about zedders while millenials, now that they are all grown up, have become part of the mainstream I guess and are not the topic of any criticism anymore.
Some "millennials bad" arguments are right like being shit parents and incredibly entitled though that's mostly due to capitalism exploiting them beyond relief and pushing this extreme "me me me" mentality respectively.
