I’m a semi-older millennial (went to high school in the early 2000s). I’ve caught myself grumbling about Gen Z over the same crap for which Boomers used to criticize us. It gave me some healthy perspective to just relax and laugh.

[@briannaselina]

I honestly agree with this so much. I have some gripes with Gen Z, but I have some gripes with *every* generation, including my own. I’m probably a just a little bit older than you, I skipped an early grade, and was in high school for the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Having close to a whole generation age gap between my sister and I, who has always been one of my best friends, I’ve been told I’m a “Millennial/Gen X Cusper” (sounds a bit too much like astrology to me) because I grew up with and loved a lot of the things that my sister did, and we came from a liberal hippie family that didn’t act like Boomers, and in fact thought most of them were assholes. I like my skinny jeans because they’re more comfortable to me. I don’t even have a hair part because I usually have bangs and like to tease my hair if I’m not wearing a wig. (80’s much?) None of that shit matters; just do you. In my lines of work, I spend time and communicate with all sorts of people from other generations, and only two instances have really given me a slap back about Gen Z, because I’m not used to it, having two super sweet Gen Z nieces. One, while trying to give genuine constructive criticism to someone, which I realised later may have been a little harsh, someone else jumped all over me and told me that everything I said was untrue, to check my facts and get woke, other rude things, etc. Another time, I responded to a video essay that I thought was really well done, and again, someone other that the original creator was like “TLDR; 16-35 is f*cking old.” Which baffled me. Yes, I tend to leave longer comments, because I’m not going to bother with leaving a comment and not truly say what’s fully on my mind. But I never said anything about being old. I don’t feel old. I don’t think I’m old. No one looks at me and thinks I’m old - often people think I’m *part of* Gen Z, even though it isn’t my stage to stand on any more, it’s not my spotlight. I just stated that I related and appreciated what the person had discussed, even though I was a bit outside of the 16-35 year old audience he was directing his piece to. Both times I got kind of irritated but in the end, I was just like “Thanks, that doesn’t really hurt, if you’re hurting, I hope it’s not for long because this kind of thing isn’t worth it. Cheers.” Even two years after the posting of this video, it still feels like any small step could add firepower to an unnecessary and really dumb war. In just a few years, more of us than ever will be working together and age won’t be anything but a number to yet another generation. It’s a part of the cycle. This comment is also really long. I want to say that I’m sorry, but I’m not. I’m a published writer and video game creator. I don’t have the guts to get behind a camera and have a KZbin channel (and therefore, I commend anyone who does, that is not using their platform in a toxic way). My words and my art are what I’ve got to work with. No one has to read or engage with my comments if they don’t want to. But sometimes I think it’s nice to be able to tell someone, regardless of generation, what they did was great and not have to squeeze it into the character maximum of a Tweet. So, I’m going to live my life and do what I do, maintaining whatever cool I have left, and hope I still get the chance to meet cool new people, continue writing and illustrating, and taking things in stride, skinny jeans, skinny legs, and all. (No one worry or sound the alarm, that joke was for me; I love dad jokes *and* Tom Robbins.). 💖

[@briannaselina]

@@user-fv9se5op4g So do I. I personally think it’s too early for the revival, as I’m still waiting for the 90’s revival to stick (which I’ve come to realize probably won’t ever happen, because those of us who lived though and loved the nineties will never truly let it go - sometimes I think I’m forever living in 1992 and I’m totally okay with that - people will be trying to pull the 90’s out of our cold, dead, hands), but the music of the early aughts, in particular, especially after 2002 was just amazing. I still listen to it often, and am always [probably a bit overly] excited when I hear it used in a film or series. It gives me a feeling of nostalgia that’s just a little bit different from the others, but I can’t seem to place my finger on why.

I'm a Genx'er and it's wild to me watching this "Generation (xyz etc)" unfold over the past 40 freaking years. When what I think everyone's missing is that the original name was a derogatory term, it was meant to brand us, and the media onslaught was intense for our formative years. Just like you. That X a lot of my generation simply took as a badge of pride for whatever it is we were supposed to have done wrong. For life, basically disappear us from the table, and it did. It's wild to me that every generation is being named and shamed in the same way. It just serves to make us further atomize and disintegrate. Cue Robert Smith please.

As a Gen Z kid in middle school 10+ years ago, I remember disliking millennials & getting annoyed with being associated with them and wondering when the distinction between my generation and theirs would be more acknowledged lol. An easy way to think of it is a millennial is someone who can remember 9/11 and and life before the turn of the millenium (2000), and if you were a little kid at that time or younger and can't remember then you're gen Z. I think the only reason gen Z is getting more focus now is because all of gen z are young adults and teenagers and can actually make their own money and buy stuff now.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I was born early 1998 and have been trying to voice these exact things for so long. It's such a weird time to be born for us people specifically born between 1996-1998 because we aren't really considered either generation, or sort of considered both depending on who you ask, so it gives you this perspective like, oh, this is all totally bullshit and doesn't exist because I don't even belong in either category. I'm too young to remember one thing, too old to remember another thing, blah blah blah. I only have friends who are older than me so I generally relate to and have memories from millennial related things more, but thats aside the point. It all doesnt make sense, its making people feel badly for no reason, and basically is taking away from the fact that instead of gen z and millennial fighting and us in between generation being made to feel like we belong to neither and should feel like shit about when we were fucking born for no literally no reason, we should ALL be coming together and change the world for the better. It's all just distracting us from the power we could truly have if we came together to create this planet into something truly beautiful.

I've known since I was a teenager that there are big trends and that they also tend to follow cycles. A few years ago I remember commenting on my (at the time) boyfriends old pics, from him as a teenager in the 90s. He was wearing really baggy clothes and had a middle parting, and I thought it was hilarious and uncool, as the trends for my gen were tighter clothing and side partings, for examples. So when I see kids today with middle partings, wearing clothing three sizes too big, I just see the 90s rolling around again. Once camo was in, or bell-bottoms, or colour blocking, or pastels, etc. It's just the usual 30year cycle.
