GEN Z Kid Reacts EVERY GENERATION EXPLAINED IN 10MINS (Do you Agree!?)

[@TheOldKevin]

I'm at the tail end of Gen X('79) and I feel that the first few years of Millennials are really similar to the last few years of Gen X. I feel like the late Gen X and early Millennials are almost a generation unto themselves.

[@woods2587]

I agree completely. I'm millennial ('87) but I was raised with siblings of gen x ('78, '81). The millennial generation is awkwardly long and also greatly varies with the introduction of the internet. My daughter's gen alpha ('16). Eeeeeee.

[@nininoona]

Gen-X parent of three Gen-Z kids here. My generation was the free-range generation, and I believe its that reason why we, as parents, then overcompensated and became helicopter parents. We were trying to make up to our kids what we didnt get when we were kids. And because we didnt have good parental role models, its also why we messed up alot.

[@ericroberts7485]

Interesting. I’ve been asking that question for a few years. I always ask myself how did my generation end up babying there kids. The reason I ask this is because I’ve never had kids so I have no idea. I just know that my best friend wouldn’t let his kids go camping because he was worried about how cold it would be. I looked at him I said we went camping in the middle of winter. So why? We are going to be there with them. Anyways I’ve wondered why? To me I thought it’s a disservice to the child. When I say all of this realize I’ve never had kids so I know I don’t know what it’s like. You finally gave me a glimpse of what possibly is the reason. I would say I think my parents were awesome. I also recognize that they screwed up sometimes. I figure life isn’t perfect. They did their best and I’m ok with it.

I have 1 millennial and 2 gen z, all 2 years apart. Their dad, my ex, and I are both 50. My guys are between 30 and 26. They understand that though time changes, mentality doesn't. They're at the age that they need to think of their future families, their homes, their lives. They understand that I can move freely because I am no longer bound to the same responsibilities. Life changes, generations change, the overall mentality of all at similar ages, does not. As a teen, I protested for my future. As an adult, I advocate for my children and future generations.

[@auburnkim1989]

Collective PTSD made GenX become helicopter parents. We are not stupid. We knew that it wasn't right for us to be doing the stuff we did; and many of us felt lucky to make it to adulthood with just some broken bones and scars. There was NO WAY we were going to let our kids experience that. Maybe we went too far....but that is the reason, imo. Generational PTSD from feral childhoods.

[@raspberrybellini]

I could literally copy and paste this as my comment I agree so much. No one talks about the kids that didn't make it.

[@user-Danswife]

Not all gen-xers had absent parents. Mine were silent gen and married till death. My husband and I have been married forever it seems (25 years) I had the best childhood and fought hard to raise my children the same way They are all grown now with children of their own. My oldest grandchild is 16.

[@bitrudder3792]

I enjoyed a lot of freedom in childhood, but with caring parents with solid values. As a parent, I felt that the helicopter parenting among my peers was suffocating my child's opportunities to feel safe and free. No wonder that gen is so anxious now as adults! Getting rid of the Bible in school and in life encouraged so much more evil in society, just by challenging the idea of right vs wrong.

[@flattop223]

I agree with all of you in this comment, I think it is a bit of a stretch to look at it as lucky to have made it out alive... I had great parents, my mother ran a home daycare so she was home all the time, my father was a new construction plumber so he was at work all day. Even though my mother was at home all day everyday, I was given a lot of freedoms, that were based on my maturity (not my age) I have a sister that is a year older but she, mentally, was much less mature. I was allowed to do things years before my sister could, she often could do stuff if I was with her to make sure we didn't get in trouble. My sister is/was very much a helicopter parent, I don't think my nephew was allowed to cross the street alone, until he got his driver's license. It was truly ridiculous how little freedom he had. He moved out when he was 18, I believe it was so he could have a little control over his own life. Now he is a father at 23 years old, yet my sister is still as involved as she can be, as much as she is allowed. I don't know what @auburnkim1989 was doing that "wasn't right for us to be doing" while I wouldn't tell my parents everything I did back when I was doing it, I can't think of anything I did that I would hide from, or be ashamed of having done it, with the exception of stealing little shit, like every kid does when they are young (that was when I was 8 to 9 years old)

[@flattop223]

Something I hate now, is that the helicopter parents also want to make everybody else be helicopter parents. They want to call child protective services if a kid is allowed to do anything on their own. When I think that I was allowed to walk two blocks to the store when I was 5 but now if an 8 year old is outside in front of their house, in their own yard, child protective services could be called. The swing went way too far. And it seems the more freedoms a parent take from their own child, the more they are demanding that everybody else takes those freedoms from their kids. Something I don't understand is how kids that are so protected and so watched over become so incredibly disrespectful of everybody else, it seems like the kids nowadays are being taught that if anybody looks at them cross-eyed that they should call the police or get their parents and their parents will step in and do all the yelling and screaming and calling law enforcement and everything else. And at the same time if it's law enforcement that is saying or doing anything that the kid doesn't like they're told that, they don't have to do what the police officer says because they shouldn't just blindly obey the authority. One thing that parenting has gotten wrong since millennials were born is the getting rid of any kind of spanking. You shouldn't spank a kid when you're angry, but timeouts just absolutely do not do it for many, many kids.

[@glennallen239]

I was born in 1964 the last year of the Baby Boomers. I am 60 Years old. Gen X started in 1965 and my Brother was born in 1968 which makes him Gen X. I experienced some Baby Boomer and some Gen X experiences. Their was one grouping proposed called Generation Jones. It was proposed to be 1954 to 1965. It included the Last 10 years of the Baby Boomers and the first year of Gen X. It was named for the slogan Keeping up with the Joneses. The reason for Generation Jones was that the Youngest Baby Boomers and first year of Gen X had different experiences from the older Baby Boomers.

[@bitrudder3792]

Interesting. I fall into that late Boomer category, but I've always been anti-Jones in outlook. Fam was always reasonably frugal as children of depression-era parents and war-refugee grandparents.

I’m a Baby Boomer born 1952. My children are all Generation X. 1973-1979.

[@user-Danswife]

Im a older Gen-X parent. Born in 1968. My husbands a boomer (1961) We fought hard to raise our children in the way we were raised (we had silent gen parents) but most of the free-range childhood we enjoyed is either no longer allowed or no longer safe. That pushed a lot of the younger gen-xers to be helocopter parents.

[@aaliyahraks]

I was born at the end of 1964 so officially classified as a boomer. But my reality growing up was more Gen X. My sister and I would get home to an empty house, grab a snack and then our bikes and head out. My kids are ranging from older Millenials to younger Millenials and the youngest is Gen Z. My Millenial kids have given me Gen Alpha grandchildren :) With my kids i was more aware of pedophiles in the news all the time and so was careful to drop my kids off and pick them up from school/soccer etc. But as the boys became older in their teens they got more free reign.

[@georges6580]

I don't use generational terms, but it's true that things were different. As a 4 years old in 1990, I went back from school either alone, or with my older brother (sometimes even my dog, a female german shepard, stood until the end of classes to accompany me back home). No worries, no problem. It was natural.

[@elizabethflores7118]

Generation X-TREMELY self sufficient by age 7 here! We were Latch Key kids, walked to and from school with siblings, went to the neighbors for the house key, changed from our school clothes to our playing outside clothes, made a quick snack ( pop tarts, or bologna and cheese sandwich, and some Tang or Kool-aid for me) Watched some t.v. did homework then hit the neighborhood on my bike or skates, came back to check in with Mom and see what was dinner gonna look like and back outside. MAN! WE ARE THE GENERATION lucky enough to go from the rotary phone and the Apple computer with floppy disk to I-phones & Tik- Tok being the source of inspiration or hughway to "knowledge"of who, what, where, when, and why. I just shake my head and think HOW will these kids make it.

Before the baby boomer generation, generations were just family based. Every family had different generational timelines. The world wars removed a lot of baby production from the world, so when that finally ended, it kinda reset generations into a single time frame. They all had a similar experience thereafter.

[@portialancaster3442]

Your generation boomed because of your parents doing 'the boom boom', but your generation did ignite tech/mech innovation and economic growth. I'd say "boomer" relates just as much to that impact as it does to your parents' activities.

[@FallenHellscape]

I’m 58 years old, which means Gen X. I think the reason why the 20th century generations are so much at odds with one another, is that… prior to the 20th century, history move slowly. Technology, culture, society, politics, etc. So there was more agreement between the generations… And many of the same struggles. Industry was slow to move, farming was continual throughout the centuries, etc. But then, the 20th century came, and all of that moved radically forward, changing every 10 to 30 years…. and greater division and difference formed between the generations, including those that led to disputes. Think about it… There are definitions of very basic words that civilization has people have agreed upon for hundreds of thousands of years. Suddenly, 10 to 20 years ago, the millennials pushed new definitions, and demanded that everybody accept them. They even argued that those definitions had always been there… when that was just gaslighting. We all know what I’m talking about. There are many redefined words…. But we know the ones in particular I’m talking about.

[@AlextheHistorian]

I'm millennial and I have no idea what words you're talking about. Slang? Every generation has slang. "23 skadoo" isn't in the Oxford dictionary.

[@richardcarte]

Love the original post up until the last paragraph. The comment was just pointing out certain things from history, but then had to sync to the level of negative implications about a whole generation. Not to mention the fact that generations don’t exist in physical nature. Generations are merely statistics or in other words, a mathematical measurement to find an average. People need to look in a mirror every once in a while. Instead of looking down on an entire “generation”. They should look at any “generation“ and recognize both the negatives, positives, and the gray of that generation. Instead of repeating the same hypocrisies that their parents did to them when they were growing up. They need to look back and remember how insulted they felt by the very people that were supposed to be guiding them towards positive behaviors. But I think all in all the battle generations is just based in humans fear of change. According to a lot of psychologists, people fear change for two primary reasons. Because change means that their ideals and ways will no longer be the societal dominant ways and ideals but also because if the tools, i.e. psychology and medical science start saying that certain ways their parents to reared them, and the way they reared their kids turned out to be more negative than positive than they wouldn’t be able to handle the guilt they would feel. There’s also a lesser common reason which is jealousy from the younger generations having it easier in certain aspects of life than they did. I don’t personally care what generation you come from. If you’re looking down at an entire generation of people because of the differences in the way they do things then you’re not only childish you’re very primitive.

There is a huge difference.... phones and Computers today are so extremely user friendly, that you really do not need to under stand the HOWs and WHYs of the tech they are using.

Whether running around my grandparents 103 acre farm or once picked up by stepmother from grandma's and taken home to run around our 63 acre farm or surrounding area.

I’m GenX but what annoys me is the disrespect to the Baby Boomers from younger generations. I won’t use the term “Boomer” bc it sounds a lot like a slur. Younger generations will never know how the Baby Boomers fought the good fight. There was so much upheaval in the 60’s/70’s. Most of the social change we are enjoying today has come from their protests/also pushing boundaries. It was a lot. Imagine that during the Vietnam War, 3/4 of the graduation classes (males) at our community high school were drafted/died in Vietnam. They were kids. It was a bad time. I remember the constant race riots, Women’s Lib, etc. Those rigid/traditional practices were not created by the BB, they were pushed against by the BB. So, my reasoning for hating the judgment of the BB is practical, it sounds uneducated of the younger generations. They have no idea of the sacrifices that were made.

[@devilinthebelfry7292]

Technology hit escape velocity and now generations experience different childhoods at a speed we never experienced before. I would have to say my generation, Millennials, were the last to largely play outside as children. We used to run all over the neighborhood. We played video games also but we sat in the same room with each other to do it. This kind of socializing isn't as prevalent anymore and was on the decline starting with my generation. When times move slow there is less of a difference in upbringing.

It's all ridiculous. Every generation bashes the ones before and after themselves. Every generation blames the ones before them for every one of their OWN failures. And every generation underestimates the ones before them. Love it when some Millennials and most Gen Z think Gen X and Boomers are tech incompetent, type with 2 fingers and can't figure out technology as simple as a cell phone. My 83 year old grandmother was teaching her friend's grandkids how to use Nintendo Wii and X Box. She could name most heavy metal groups and loved Kpop. My mother could out tech most Gen Zers. And yes, many of the younger "Gens" are wimps. They get hurt by words, think everyone needs to pander to their feelings and delusions. Life is tough and they can't handle it. And yes, every generation thought the one after them was a wimp, and generally each generation HAS gotten softer. Even the BBC had a program with evidence to prove it. And let me tell you, his description of Gen X is WRONG!!! I don't know any Gen X "helicopter parents" though yeah, MTV was a big thing. And you will be pushing 40 a LOT sooner than you think.

Many of my fellow GenX who are "helicopter" parents express displeasure about their parents never being around.

I don't get why the generations aren't getting names anymore, Generation X actually came about for a reason, the X was representative of an unknown like in a math problem solving for X. It was a time with a lot of changes, many generation names were tried, like the "latch key generation" X symbolized an unknown variable and/or a desire not to be that unknown, the desire to not be defined by any single thing, is what brought about the name, Generation X! Now, it seems that generation naming has just gotten lazy, there was Millennials, which was kind of obvious because of the turn of the century. But then Generation Z... Somebody went oh we got Gen X then millennials which are essentially Gen Y, so the next one is Gen Z, after that I guess generation Alpha! It's really sad that nobody even tried tossing out names to give the generations actual names. I have heard Generation Z referred to as the iPad generation which will not flattering at least it's something. I would call Generation Z the Touch Screen Generation.

The dark side of Gen X (Jilted generation in the UK) I am Gen X. I think of the horror remake IT. Those kids ars so recognisable to Gen X adults because we saw kids vanishing like they hadn't existed. All we would have to go on were rumours. Kids died due to attitudes like 'not wearing a seat belt as it should be optional'. I remember there was a boy, that kind of kid everyone was scared of in primary school. He died while his mother, who was drunk driving actually crashed. That poor kid. He briefly survived but his mother was completely headless in front of him. He died not long after. The worst part was that it was news for a day because most kids knew at least a few other children that had fallen from a height or been beaten so hard that when they disappeared you had no idea if they had survived or been taken into care. I lived in an area that was a poverty trap so kids didn't just up and move. We were all stuck there, it was always some type of tragedy that we other kids just acclimatised to. I wasn't going to let my kids become some type of cautionary tale because I love them more than that. We parented our kids sort of in the middle but to boomers we were making our kids soft because we wanted to sheild our kids from all of that. Sorry I'm not sorry.

The cult and kidnapping was a big deal off and on through the time what is a time during Charles Manson David crush Waco yeah there were some crazy things that went on but also when I was in between 12 to 14 we would get dropped off at the mall or the movie theater every Friday and we would stay there until like 10 or 11:00 hanging out we would save our snack money from the week and try to buy cigarettes off of the college kids lol but not let the cops see us play 90s were amazing they really were times work better people were nicer cared for their neighbor and their neighbors family if someone down the road had a family member that passed away you immediately started cooking something to take to their house for them and then run on cell phones so you had to actually call people's houses and if you're looking for their child you would actually have to talk to their mom or dad to ask for the friend yeah no swipes left or right it was all face-to-faceit also was a time where every night the 10:00 news came on most parents watched it and immediately after went to bed so calling someone past 8:00 was considered disrespectful it was a time to where you didn't question your parents you didn't know about their bills or them having financial issues even if they were kids for kids and they were allowed to be kids adult conversation didn't take part in front of children and children were happier and better off for it I am 43 I have 21 year old twin daughters and it has been really trippy raising them it has been very very different from when I was raised completely different family they were raised by the same one that raised me outlooks and priorities are just completely different if you were one of the ridge bougie kids with cool parents you did have the option to get your own phone landline into your room so like back in the day for example no internet we would have to use the phone book alphabetical order so if the person's name was John Doe it would list John Doe's name phone number and address and if they had those kind of kids it would then say John Doe's children's line with phone number no address children were very well taught to be seen not heard that you only asked questions in a certain type of setting which typically was at home or in the vehicle in private basically is what I'm saying parents didn't really correct their children in public because children didn't act out in public they knew now when you go to that car it was another story you had to go and visit people in order to see and talk to them you actually had people that would knock on your door and you would have them come in and sit down because they were your friends and you would talk and have conversation and most of the time would have no idea they were coming they were just popped by to say hi at Christmas time you bake cookies for your delivery drivers or your neighbors down the road you're rode around together as a family and look at Christmas lights kids had such a great line in those years and I'm just talking general stuff I'm not saying all kid it was just different and really a lot less demanding could you were just a kid and that's all you were to be a kid any love one another❤❤ look up the statistics

I am curious why you always ask for the viewer to comment with an emoji if they have "made it this far" is that just to drive engagement sinthere is more comments or is there another reason? 💙

[@matpitch-id3pp]

I hate the term "millenial" with passion... I'm gen Y... period edit: I mean come on when the 21st century kicked I had already finished high school for over a year... gen x, y, z, alpha... screw that made up "millenial" term that popped out of effing nowhere about 15 years ago

[@mikeadams2677]

Look. Im not saying that millennials and gen z haven't and won't make their contributions to the world via technology etc., but through the advancements of technology the ability of using your own brains without depending on electronics to do it for you is seriously declining. Is technology great, can it be and is it convenient, and useful in many ways? Sure, but it isn't always available and practical. For example when hurricane Helene hit us here in the southeastern United States, we lost access to electricity, internet, and other technological communications. We had, and many of us still are having to depend and rely on the analog basics and knowledge of our own brains and survival skills that we gen X and surviving boomers have the latter generations lack that we previous generations are trying to teach you.
