Honestly internet was a place where fringe people gathered at first at least the first 15 years. Since most of what we still have of that time is on the net, what remains from that time period is vastly over represented by fringe elements.

I mean, there's that whole meme about hard times creating strong men and good times creating soft men and whatnot. I personally think it's just meaningless drivel that sounds pithy so people just repeat it online, but I do believe that every generation thinks that they are the "strong men" who created the "good times", while anyone coming after them are the "soft men", while *that* generation is convinced that *they* are the "strong men" instead who had to grow up in the "hard times" created by the previous generation of "soft men". It's less of a cycle in human history than a cycle in generational psychology.

@@Horvath_Gabor it's a quote from fight club (the movie, no idea if it's in the book), the irony being that it's about a bunch of unhappy dudes who feel weak and try to feel strong by committing escalating acts of violence instead of going to therapy i agree though, it's a constant that the older generation will treat the younger as ungrateful for enjoying a slightly easier present, even though the whole point is to work toward a better future (until we go to space or achieve peace or something) the whole thing's dumb, we struggle to get along, so i don't know why people are so certain this time, for real, 100% now, the kids are doomed and the future is hanging by a thread maybe getting old just makes you more aware of war and economics and it's scary and complicated. just take a moment to chill instead of hating kids lmao

A lot of this is more millennial theatre kid/extroverted nerd behavior. I didn’t know anyone outside of niche socially awkward circles that actually acted like this when I was in highschool between 2008-2012. It’s probably worth noting that when this stuff was popular, the internet was still transitioning from a place for just lonely turbo nerds to a place where everyone exists together. You essentially have the ‘cool kids’ on the internet reacting to an era where the internet was smaller and filled with a lot of dorks and websites like Reddit were (barely) clinging onto their counter culture status. The tastemakers weren’t exactly people with the strongest social lives. Of course you have SA and 4Chan that were doing their own thing and had their own weird and radically different culture/mannerisms that are arguably just as ‘Millennial’ as any of this. You might argue that staff and moderation on those sites were likely gen x, but I’d be surprised if most of the users weren’t millennial. (The founder of 4Chan is 36, btw)

Funnily enough, this advice is the most Millennial thing to be said, millennial's biggest fear is to be finger-pointed, to be ridiculized, this can be understood when you think about two things, the insincere way they present themselves (Ironicizing every aspect of their personality, just so people don't have anything to ridiculize, everything displayed is satire) or their tribe-belonging mentality (Examples of this can be how urban tribes were thriving in the 00s and early 10s, an example of this nowadays is the obsession with popular culture, to belong to a certain entertainment's fanbase, this could be cinema like Marvel or Disney, certain websites like Reddit or 4chan, or even politics). Now, each one of us deals with intrinsic thrauma or fears, and we tend to develop an Idea to cope with this, in case of millennials, "Be yourself and don't give a shit" is the biggest philosophy of the Millennial generation. Of course I'm able to identify such behaviours in my generation, I'd say from my limited experience that Gen Z's biggest fear is not to be enough/not make use in full extent of your capabilities. That's why I think this idea of optimizing one self so appealing to Gen Z's. Icons like Andrew Tate fictional characters like Thomas Shelby are so appealing to Gen Z's because they represent in some ways the status we would love to have. This is all my biased opinion though.

[@lucaventinove3151]

In my opinion the biggest difference between millennials and Gen Z is the way the two groups view the world. Millennials remember easier and happier times from before the chaotic era we live in, but also the more negative aspects: this gives them a generally more optimistic outlook but most importantly they seem to want to cling on their past a lot, this is exemplified by the disney/Harry Potter adults and the continued use of fashion and humour. Gen Z on the other hand grew up in a world which was already very advanced in both technological and social terms and thus "spoiled" (which is not a bad thing of course, but idk how to explain it better), but at the same time they grew up in a world that's seemingly heading more towards chaos each passing year. The meme that Harambe's death caused everything is fitting because 2016 was a year in which most Gen Z started being fully conscious of the world, and saw it went from bad to worse in many aspects. Thus Gen Z developed a darker approach in life, often turning into extreme irony, nihilism, or the pursue of perfection at all costs, sometimes embracing more traditional social behaviours or elements in search for stability. As a bonus this Gen Z outlook would explain also the huge criticism on Gen Alpha, because those are kids and kids are generally happy and oblivious of the world around them. The fact that this Gen Alpha optimistic and oblivious outlook (natural imo for all children) is now visible to everyone thanks to the internet caused huge generational envy from Gen Z. But this is a take of an old Zoomer, I'm curious to see other people's opinion about this

[@reiangossling6395]

I saw millennials get labeled as spoiled and ungrateful in the past, back in the 2010s when they were hated while zoomers were seen as the edgy and "based" generation. There were a bunch of op-eds being written all the time about how millennials were killing all of the businesses because they wouldn't spend money. I see zoomers grasp at nostalgia as well, they just romanticize the 2000s instead of the 90s. They've turned things that were widely despised like the Star Wars prequels, the Michael Bay Transformers movies and Twilight into hallmarks of nostalgia.

[@demilung]

Oh you're so full of shit "The easier and happier era" is either you being an oblivious child at the time, unaware of the hardships and struggles your elders had to real with to give you your childhood, or you being an even younger child judging the past by ads and sitcoms.

@@reiangossling6395 Yeah as a Millennial I remember those op-eds. Which I would ask, "With what money do they expect us to pay with?" Gen Z might think they are screwed, but they might not realized the Millennials also got screwed around their age on top of dealing with the lockdowns. I do think Millennials probably had a better childhood because the 90s were generally remembered as being one of the better decades. I still remember being able to wait for family outside the gate in the airport and I remember the airlines serving actual food. In a way Millennials might have it worse, because they actually were part of a good decade and since then everything continues to go down. I can't really remember a singular good period within the last 15 years. There might have been hope for Occupy Wall Street, but that kind of fell flat.

The problem with these retrospective analysis is that they're just that: retrospective. 4chan and Tumblr were both millennial things, as was both "edgy" 2000's comedy like MadTV and colorful stuff like Steven Universe, and both things were both relevant and important.

[@Elecat1996]

I'm 37 and I prefer younger generations stuff and was born in the wrong generation. I was the only person aside from my best friend who grew up online and as chronic gamers. Everyone else was chronicly... offline, and it was horrible for us. I could not talk to them about anything and had to put on a fake normie persona to not get bullied. As a teen I couldn't wait to get home from school to talk to my online friends from overseas, or talk to adults about adult things especially older women about flirting/sex stuff. 2006 and onward was Facebook in its prime, which was their first online world, and it was normie as fuck. No memes, no humor, just frat photos and vacation trip selfies. Nowadays the internet is finally relatable to me and funny, especially post-Elon twitter. The reason I hate the stereotypical mushroom-hair zoomer going around saying "bussin no cap fr" isn't because of their generation, but because I can tell that demographic of person is the jock bully/gang member type of gen z BONUS: In the 2000s, only teens/young adults who were into anime/gaming/memes were the obese, low-functioning autistic Chris-Chan types. So it is VERY BIZARRE to see in gen z, attractive, in-shape people especially women who like this stuff instead of despise it. I cannot get used to that. It's like seeing a black man in klan robes. That's the one gen z thing I cannot get, but it is a very good thing I admit and makes me jealous.

2000-2003 kid here and I completely agree with being credited for the newfound chaos of cyberspace. I get why millennials fawn over the old net, but the old net was dull and 4Chan. The popularity of anime was all thanks to Nickelodeon and Nintendo dominating the late 90's by dubbing Japanese animes overseas. Even with how broken and predatory the internet is today, it's still an escape for like minded people to discuss what they have in common.

You know this whole generational war that has happened since the dawn of time thing seems like a really good metaphor for how samsara and karma works. I guess the acceptance of it being just a thing that has happened since we have, and will happen after we're gone, and that really not much actually truly changes and just passes from one generation to another, and learning to accept that every generation before you was cringe, you are cringe, and every generation afterwards will be cringe, and that is okay- Is kind of like nirvana?

Splitting people into discrete groups like this probably doesn't reflect the reality. There are a ton of subcultures out there, and they all speak differently. I can't imagine anyone in a pet circle cringing at someone for saying "pupper" or "doggo". People from outside the circle may cringe, though. I personally find a lot of subreddits cringe and others based. There is also a lot of cringe GenZ and GenA out there.

[@Mr.Crow1984]

One thing that i keep finding wild is the difference between early gen z and late gen z. Early gen Z: currently finding themselves in the striggle of thos days economy and dealing with all the carried over problems of the last generations Late Gen Z: Skibidi Toilet

[@cosmo9925]

Indeed, although I think it’s just a universal thing every generation has to deal with upon reaching your mid-late 20’s. Old gen Z just happens to be the demographic experiencing that right now. Teens and early 20’s people wanna party and enjoy being young and feeling like not much is expected of you, you feel like you have all the time in the world to get it together and you’ll just “figure it out later”. When “later” comes around and you reach your mid 20’s, you’re hit with the realization of “Man, I’m gonna be 30 in a few years, I gotta get my life together.” Some people get hit with that at like 22, others don’t realize it until they’re like 28, it happed to me at 24 lmao. It’ll happen to the young Zoomers too, but I wouldn’t expect them to have it all figured out at like 15 years old lmao.

[@MultiFlash009]

Guys... We were doing *SO GOOD* as long as we didn't try to bring back the humour of our childhood and attempt to show how much better we've had it! Let's not become the *"kids these days"* adults we've despised so much back then. We've laughed at adults as well, so don't be surprised or angry that we're next. We can still appreciate and enjoy things from our childhood *while* letting others enjoy their current childhood.

Most of us don't. However, being quiet doesn't get much attention. I recognize that much of this is an endless cycle and whatnot but I at least try to rise above it.

> as long as we didn't try to bring back the humour of our childhood What's wrong with it? Of course "attempt to show how much better we've had it" is cringe, but why should I change my style of humor? Yeah, it will look like "dad jokes" in a couple of years, but so what? =-)

[@MultiFlash009]

@@Straga_Severa_ Of course, nothing wrong with continuing to enjoy the laughs we had back then. If it still meets your sense of humour, there's nothing wrong with that. I also go back to content from the past to have a laugh from time to time :) I meant that it is fine as long as we don't bring it back in order to say and show that "this is real humour" and call it superior to Gen Z's or Alpha's. If it's just to enjoy ourselves, cool. Just let the kids be weirded out by us, they'll cringe at our fun either way^^

[@demilung]

The fact that me and the boys joke with each other with the humour we like where you can hear us is not us "bringing it back" it's us being us between us. I don't give half a flying fuck what some other think about the way we do things between us, I have no obligation to front being in on some teenager trend just for the comfort of someone who may drop in on the conversation. Nor do I have the power to stop someone from enjoying their "current childhood". I don't recall ever saying or doing the crap people assign to "millennial" things, so pick up your straw, man, and shove it.

[@MultiFlash009]

Good. Not giving a fuck about others' opinions of your fun is pretty much the best way to enjoy it. More power to you.

Just do what makes you happy. Who cares if you’re cringe. Seriously. If you’re not actively harming someone or ruining their enjoyment of something then people should just learn to let go. Disney adults can still get a lot of views and engagement because other people who really like Disney will watch the content. Don’t people to “retire their sayings”. If you don’t like them, then don’t use them. When people make lists like that of “phrases that should be permanently retired 🤢 “ it just looks absolutely childish. If you “get the ick” over someone saying “I did a thing today”, you need to learn to relax. Let people dress in a way that makes them happy. If that’s dressing like an emo scene kid then who gives a crap, how does that actually affect you? You don’t like it? Cool. Then you don’t dress that way and don’t date/get involved with the person that does if it bothers you so badly. The song “high school never ends” was accurate about life when it released eons ago and it will probably never stop being accurate. Life never stops being high school. Every new generations thinks themselves the “cool kids” and bashes everything everyone else does… until the next generation comes along. It doesn’t matter what generation or age you are, if you waste your time telling people to “act their age” when really all you mean is “conform to my idea of what/how you should be”, you’re acting childish and entitled.
