Honestly I think that the boomers hated the "okay boomer" trend so much that they made up this gen z vs millennial war to get the focus off of them haha

[@belindarocky961]

I think you're onto something 😆😆

[@slopely]

Same lol

[@ziggystardog]

Boomer/GenX cusp here: nope. Wishful thinking. What’s more plausible: a Boomer who’s savvy enough to understand and manipulate TikTok, or someone from a younger generation trolling for the lolz? Probably the GenXers- it’s always the quiet ones. Most Boomers only heard about the “okay Boomer” meme from newspapers and TV. If you’re a Boomer who can grok TikTok, you didn’t take “okay Boomer” seriously. The precursor to this, “the 30-year-old boomer” meme threw me for a loop for a while, however 😂💀:’D

I’m gen X and raised by “silent gen” (yes that’s what they call the gen before boomers) parent, they had me late in life and I’m a parent of a millennial. My life was interesting because my mom was ahead of her time, she chose not to have bunch of kids, she chose not to depend on a man, she chose to raise me to be independent and self sufficient. Our boomer family members would criticize my mother for her “life style” and she didn’t give 2 fcks, when my daughter came out as lesbian she was very supportive, she was an awesome mom, I lost her in August. But I’m so thankful to had been raised by a woman like her

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

@@roxypicasso66 luckily for them it's probably worn off by now 🤣. Finger tattoos are notoriously hard to maintain because the skin is close to bones in an area that's used a lot more than other parts of our bodies, so the friction from that, and the fingers rubbing together makes them fade fast - there's also the fact that handwashing produces a lot of friction on the hands and fingers... all of this means the skin on our fingers regenerates up to 10x faster than the rest of our bodies! Especially the bottom half of the fingers - if you look carefully you can see a sort of "line" in the middle of the side of your fingers where the type of skin changes between the top and bottom, and that underside skin wears away and regenerates the fastest 🤓

The subject "The most entitled generation" hit me so hard...little story: my father was mad at my 19yo sister for not being able to find a job without a Bachelor's degree(I'm from Romania, school system is a little different here) and when he tried to hire her somewhere he was in complete shock that the candidate must have finished highschool and have a degree in order to be hired.

I remember we went up to our roof and saw the towers burning in the skyline. We couldn't open our a/c for weeks because of the smell. My brother and I started having nightmares, and our pediatrician recommended that we get a pet so we adopted a little kitten the next week, who was a part of our family for 13 loving years. What an absolute nightmare for so many people

[@eileen_a_b]

@@Olivina330 I was in high school in mid-town Manhattan and it was a struggle for my older sister to get me since we lived in Queens. They weren't letting cars in and my dad wasn't able to just leave his car that he used to drive up to the Queens Borough Bridge. We had to run back to the bridge and across it, took an hour to locate my dad, and it was unsually warm that day that I ended up with an awful migraine. I watched the news while lying in bed where they showed the horror of the people stuck and even jumping from those buildings. I threw up later that day and was scared to sleep alone and too ashamed to sleep with my parents at that age, so I went to sleep with my sister, who had just signed up for the Marine Corp (adding to my fears). We actually got a Husky puppy the very next day completely on a whim. Very surprising for my parents. I was traumatized about it for a while too and appreciate that some of my teachers were there to talk about it with us as a whole class in an honest and open way. I'll never forgive my math teacher who acted like nothing was wrong, trying to teach class even though we couldn't hear a thing over the unbelievable amount of sirens from fire trucks and ambulances going by, creating unease with no explanation till my next teacher told us what was going on.

Hello, can we talk about how some of these broad characteristics that define a generation are almost always like from the US or some “first world” country.

As someone who was born in ‘97… I am just sitting on the sidelines watching all the chaos unfold I feel like a lot of people forget that early gen z remember a lot of things from their childhood in the same way that millennials do. I grew up with the same things that my sister (born in ‘92) grew up with. Like I remember not being able to talk on the phone and be on the internet at the same time. I remember TVs being rolled in on those carts and having to use those projectors where you had to place a sheet on a lit up box for it to be project through a type of reflecting lenses. I remember using aol and msn. I had those big bulky box TVs that needed rabbit ears and blockbusters. Early gen z isn’t really much different. Took the quiz and ended up checking 33 out of 40

[@lemontree666333]

I'm Canadian also, and I was about 7 or 8 when 9/11 happened. I don't even remember that much from that day really. Our teachers tried not to show us anything or tell us anything. I don't know if that was the same for the older grades but I distinctly remember not really knowing what was going on.

[@Alertse]

[@katyb2793]

I'm Australian, and I remember waking up in mum telling me to come and watch the TV. We all just stood around watching the news in shock. When I went to school we didn't do any work, but just watch the news on the TV. The teacher's were coming into each other's classrooms and discussing it and completely ignoring us. I'll never forget that day even though I don't think I fully understood the situation and the impact it would have.

[@hinatabutterfly12]

I was in kindergarten as well. I was in Michigan by Selfridge Air base. I remember the teachers all whispering to each other and I could hear the jets being started. I had absolutely no idea what was going on. Turns out they were scrambling fighter jets to do patrol over Detroit to make sure there wasn’t another attack. The memory of my teacher wiping at the running mascara down her face while we were huddled in a dark classroom will forever be burned into my mind.

That's interesting, actually! Bc I was born in 2000 and I feel the same way. Like, I feel like I'm always thinking about how much happier the internet, along with most aspects of culture such as music, was when I was a kid than it is now. Like, don't get me wrong, people were always mean, but it was a different kind of mean than what's presented right now. Back then, it was funny cat videos and people making sketches bc they liked it, not to get paid (although that was a perk that was began in the early 2010s). Cringe culture is the main culprit, imo. It sorta ruined a whole generation of kids, who are now scared that they'll become the new laughingstock of the whole internet bc of their interests. I'm glad kids are taking a stand against it now, for the most part. Bring back a happy internet!

Born and raised in NYC. On 9/11, I was in first grade. I remember a lot of the teachers panicked and turned all the lights off and shut all the windows (to keep the smoke and ask from coming in). My parents were at work but my neighbor, who had two kids in the same school as me, picked me up early then we went to get my brother. She had to threaten the VP to let her take him because his school was locked down since it was closer to the water (you could see Manhattan from some of the classrooms). When we got to my block, I remember thinking it was snowing a little bit. Later I realized it was soot and ash. It took my father three days to get home. I don’t think I went to school for almost two weeks afterwards.

[@eileen_a_b]

I was a sophomore in a mid-town Manhattan high school but lived in Queens. My dad got as far as the 59st bridge in his car and my older sister went across the bridge and to my school to get me. My dad had to yell and argue over the phone about how they needed to let me go with her because he can't get there himself. They then gave her the wrong information about my class period and classroom so she had to run round the whole building thinking I was cutting class. She was pissed when she found me and we then had to make our way back. That day was a mess and I was so scared about having to cross the bridge because there was knowledge of other planes attacking and that bridge full of people could have been an excellent target for more attacks.

[@faeriesmak]

As a Gen Xer this was really interesting to listen to. I feel like on social media that we are the generation that gets lost in the cracks. You rarely hear anything about Gen X.

We just had Kurt Cobain and Winona Ryder!

Even in New Zealand, with 9/11 mum woke me up earlier for school and had the news on. The teacher we had that day brought a small TV in from home. But as an 11 year old in an isolated little country on the other side of the planet, the scale of it didn't sink in until I was in high school.

[@lyric939]

24:55 as a millennial, i think i was disillusioned on what my 20s would look like because i only had the people i know in real life as a frame of reference. but as millennials now, we are fairly open talking about our life experiences online regarding our college experience, dropping out, job search, unemployment, dating, marriage and family (in their 20s), and that has prepped the gen Z with a wealth of knowledge, whether they would want to follow what we've done or do something different.

[@racheljohnstone9574]

I'm a millennial too. I grew up with the very stereotypical I'm moving out when I'm 18 etc. And my parents never tried to talk to me about it, as result (of that and other stuff) I ended up in a situation where I had to move back home less than a year after moving out, at 22. But it forced my family to actually have a conversation about the importance of getting holiday jobs and having a plan to actually move out. Because of that, My sister at 18 has an agreement with my parents that she will live at home board/rent free or well below market until she is 24 so she can buy a house.

eeh like yes there are possible dangers on the internet, just like everywhere but if you ingrain good morals, so they can't go down some alt-right pipeline as well as tell them the basics, you know don't give out your address there isn't that much to fear on the internet for the regular user.

It's scary and growing up watching "to catch a P" freaks me out more.

@@vilteb4701 yes and no. Every kid matures differently and personality impacts choices. Also what age are you talking? Cause some kids in elementary school have cell phones now. We can't trust 9yr olds to really understand that risk fully.
