Why Are Generations So Different?

Parents often wonder why their kids are so odd. Kids wonder why their parents are so uptight. This is a generational gap. Why does it happen? Watch the video silly.

[@steel8231]

It scares me that a lot of people in my generation are against free speech. Especially since they claim that offensive stuff should be censored, what is offensive then? Will they consider any form of disagreement offensive? Because that's fascism and I'm pretty sure none of us want that.

[@devoyinator]

[@ricardovivas7686]

political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners

[@JJ-pm4ob]

In your generation? People wanted to do the same back then.

[@nathanbrown8680]

That's almost exactly what those who fostered the movement do want. It can be traced to the "long march through the institutions" by communist sympathisers starting during Vietnam when draft dodgers didn't have their educations interrupted and got a head start on getting tenure. The only difference between fascism as manifested everywhere except Germany* and communism as manifested in Russia and China prior to the 1990s is that the fascist nations pretended to have economic sectors that weren't controlled by the state. The end goal is the Soviet conquest over a decadent and defanged America. That the Soviet Union no longer exists has done nothing to deter the useful fools who were never told what they were working towards. Weaponized ideas can no more be called back than weaponized smallpox. * Germany had the additional distinction of rabid antisemitism, but that wasn't really shared by the other fascist powers. They may have humored Germany in some instances, but didn't really care anymore than Ho Chi Minh shared Pol Pot's pathological hatred for people who wore glasses.

[@redolson6671]

All freedom of speech is, is that the government doesn't interfere with someone's speech. We're not saying (since I include myself in this group) that censorship is a good thing, but that people need to learn that racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and so on, and that people should be held accountable for what they say. However, admittedly, i personally would go further with it and would disallow any sort of platform for a voice to be heard from someone who self-identifies as a fascist/nazi/white-supremacist, since these groups are directly attempting to breach the rights of other people, particularly minorities. It becomes a complete distortion of true democratic rule, when democracy itself is used in a way to destroy democracy

[@JoeyyGallagher]

I think generation z will be defined as people growing up just after or just before 9/11, and will mostly be categorised as a generation spending their childhoods in a world filled with cyber scandals, terrorism and edgy memes.

[@JoeyyGallagher]

Good point, the only reason why I think 9/11 was more notable is due to it starting the 'war on terror' and reshaping our entire political landscape. The 1930's sorta beat us hands down at the old recession thing haha ;)

[@dishmanw]

Yep, University and College has changed a lot. When I first went to college in, everything was hardcopy (books and papers), and to do research, we had to go to a physical library. I just recently got my Master's in 2015, everything was softcopy, and to do research, we had Online Libraries and Google. It was also easier to keep in contact with fellow students and faculty.

[@99batran]

xPokemonPlayerx there's a generation planned after called the Alpha Generation

[@99batran]

The Burger King Idk the question but if you are referring to generations after Alpha, then go with Beta (Late 2020s, maybe after 2025 or 2030 or so), Delta (Late 2030s or Early 2040s, likely start between 2035 to 2040), Epsilon (Early to Mid 2050s, likely 2050 or 2055), etc., if you are asking what Alpha Generation is gonna be about, then here: Well the concept of the Alpha Generation developed in Australia referring to people born after 2010 (from the argument people born after 1995 is GenZ), but it's not widely popularized (and debates about the 1995-2005 gap conflict between the Millennials and Generation Z, some argue 1995 is start of GenZ, others say 2005) , I'd say Generation Alpha would likely start between 2015 to 2020. I'm not sure what their defined trait would be, but they would likely grow up with widely produced self-driving electric cars and 3d printed products (maybe even 3d printed food) that's for sure. Trends from computer systems would likely be more user-friendly and cartoon-y and "safer" developed during Generation Z, so growing in this environment would likely make them favor both knowledge while maintaining child-like behaviors carried on from childhood (or being lazy). However, it's predicted that Generation Alpha would become the most informed and knowledgeable generation ever created (if people said about the world ending in Mid 2000s is true). As adults, they would likely be one of the last generations (before Generation Beta and Delta which comes after Alpha) to use nonrenewable energy (coal, oil, etc.). Alpha Generation could also be the first generation to grow up widely nonreligious. So as politicians they'd likely attempt to throw out religion as a whole. They are also probably going to be the generation that requires the most maintenance (because they will more likely to spend on expensive things than any other)

Plus, there are a multitude of different events and periods of absolute craziness in the world right now that could define us. The pandemic might be one of them, but who knows.

Generational gaps are cool to think about, but it's really hard to put time in a box. Like for instance, I'm currently 23, and my best friend is 27. With only 4 years between us, you'd think there aren't too many differences in the things we had access to as kids. However, since technology has so rapidly changed since the early 2000s, there are ways we think differently about certain technologies and cultural trends. Even though we're both "millenials"

[@indiomoustafa2047]

I'm 22. I have to say this newest generation is going to be, obviously with some exception, another lost generation type for different reasons. More people are turning to sources of information and speculation like these instead of more traditional means. We might be the most diverse generation in terms of ideologies but the underlying theme is we're all just unhappy with the way things are going.

Maybe as politically involved but not as politically outspoken as us late Millennials. A bit more conservative but not in the same regard as Boomers (typically more religious and nationalistic), more like Gen X in that they just want to be left the hell alone by the government and society. They do also display some silent generation traits though, so whatever happens, I hope that we at least get another 60s-70s and 90s music golden age out of it.

[@johnr7279]

I was born near the Baby Boomer - Gen X seam...1966. While really a Gen X'er, I am very early in that era and I kind of ID with both. I'd call myself a Boom X'er maybe. Anyway, this was a great video and I think you really capture a lot of the typical things we associate each generation with--super job!

[@thebleakoverview4227]

Born 1990, throughout schooling, technology was changing regularly. Chord house phones and if you wanted to know who was calling, you had to have caller ID. Cell phones looked like those crappy phones that the government used to give out a few years ago and there was no texting. T.v. channels came in through an antenna, unless you could afford cable. Beepers were cool. If you wanted to use the internet, no one could be on the phone, that's before the long dial-up process. Recording shows on a VCR was a thing along with homemade videos. DVDs and CDs were becoming the new media and were only used by families that could afford them. When they WERE affordable, you had a VHS/DVD player combo. Things moved slowly, as in not instant. CNN was not big at all, everyone used slow postal mail and read newspapers, not blogs out newsfeed. No KZbin or Facebook. Cameras still used film and having it developed in an hour was fast. If you got lost, you better should have a map and a compass or ask for directions (no GPS). If you wanted cartoons, Saturday mornings was the only way to get them. Tony Hawk made skateboarding AND videogames cool. Videogames in houses became more popular with Super Nintendo and you could take them with you with Gameboy Color. You had to learn both cursive AND writing. You also had to take a computer class to teach you how to type and use the upcoming innovation called the Internet. If you wanted to make mixed CDs, you had to buy a CD burner to attach to your computer. Bill Clinton was in office and all the scandals with him not inhaling pot and not having an affair with Monica. Did I miss anything?

Oh fuck off with that shit, not even a majority of millennials support censorship, and even among those that do support censorship and those that say they support free speech it's more nuanced than that.

The interesting thing about this is that we see a split in Millennials. And quite a stark one at that. On one side, there are the ones you describe. Liberals, equality and all that jazz. On the other, alt-right and a form of counter-culture. This counter culture seems to value "the greater good" much more than the rest. The millennials seem far more stark in contrast to each other than earlier generations were.

[@elizabethhuang8450]

Nadamas This is an old comment, but perhaps this is due to the rise of the Internet itself. With the www, people have access to everything and anything they want to get their hands on. Cultural movements and subsets no longer depend on word of mouth or the media to expand, and are instead able to grow their own little personal communities. We live in a world today with information right at our fingertips, and it's amazing how often people take that for granted. Personally, as a lurker in both 4chan/pol/ and Tumblr, I find it amazing how people so close in age can have such radically different beliefs. Maybe in several decades, if we're still around by then, they'll have an explanation for us in the history books.

[@SalamanderMagic]

I guess I'm apart of gen Z (born 2004). I thought about it for a bit and I think that living in an age where tragedies are common place is going to be very influential on us.

[@ganaraminukshuk0]

FigS Pff, I was nearing my 20s when I figured out that VCRs worked like DVRs and it was just this year that I got my first smartphone, and I call myself a millennial. My best guess is that NEWS of technological innovation overtakes the percolating of said tech, so there's this lag from when, say, the first iPhone comes out and when you join the smartphone bandwagon by getting a Galaxy S7.

[@klively9390]

If you were born when most everyone had an internet connection & cell phones were common place then that's def Gen Z/whatever they come up for this latest gen. Plenty of Millennials remember the time before the internet or even wireless LAN lines. Your generation will definitely have some tech label applied to it. Each one get some label having to do with the biggest historical event of the time. For those born on or after 2000s that's definitely going to do with something about tech or how tightly connected we all are now because of aforementioned tech.

But we've all had our stripes growing up and we're still a functioning society. and they're usually seems to be a pendulum that swings to the extreme, and sometimes mellows out.

I was 88. There's a lot to my generation I am on board with, but I was way too early to be sucked into most of the social media trends and social justice aspects. I highly value egalitarianism and the ideals of democratic socialism, but God help me if I can be bothered to remember or care about the dozens of genders people claim to have or getting worked up and posting about every little slightly upsetting thing that pops up. I'm a lot less emotional than other Millennials, but I also see that the previous generations left us a hell of a mess to clean up. The important thing is to not blame one generation or another for society's problems. We win some, we lose some, and all we can do is try to leave the world better than we were given it.

Not that anyone will actually read this after a year of no comments but here is my take into the void. I agree with Gen Z starting in the late 1990s. I was born in 96 everyone my age and younger have much less to do with traditional millinials than many seem to think. I'm just coming of age and can barely remember a time without the wide spread use of the internet. I literally can't imagine living without access to all this knowledge. I'm in a weird spot because I was born late enough to understand the college debt crisis before I went too deep. still 10k of debt for 2 years and no degree but that's beside the point. I don't really feel the anger that I see in older millenials that feel the generation before has fucked them over. But there aren't enough people my age or younger to really have much of a sense of group identity. All I know is I'm not a milienial however you spell it but I'm not sure what I am. Can't stand being lumped with them either.

[@retardcorpsman]

Nic Betancourt Anybody could be themselves. The generation chart is a general view of norms in a certain generation. It does not define everyone specifically.

[@CLONE5115]

Just being called a millennial is an insult to me. Gen Z would definitely be described as staying at home more since the whole streaming boom and I'm gonna guess that drugs will play a bigger role in culture then ever. I'm also hopeful that since we pretty much just learn random bits of information about history, from the internet, we can make more informed choices in our lives. Also I think we are probably the most emotional generation ever cuz of how some of us get so involved in social media and how getting likes on a post or just the num of followers u have can make us feel happy or sad.

The school almost closed down and rumors were going around that the School district was remodeling every room in the office and got into debt. So the school district had to shut some schools down.

[@davidschaftenaar6530]

I think the key to these shifts of mindset between generations is adversity. Generations that face poverty and are drafted for war turn out quiet, optimistic, humble, collectivist and industrious. They deal with the large scale problems thrown at them and give rise to about 18 years of prosperity after their troubles have ended. Their kids on the other hand grow up in worlds of abundance and peace. They grow up to be everything their parents were not and create poverty and war as a consequence. Bad times make good people.

The industrial revolution really kickstarted an incredible amount of change in such a short amount of time, and now there's actual sciences for studying generations snd reliable ways to keep on top of trends and what have you. look at it this way; the main mode of transportation for crossing bodies of water was some form of sail ship since ancient eras all the way up to the 1800s. Then steam power was invented, and within a few decades, the first airplane crossed the Atlantic, and a couple decades after that, humans were launching vehicles into space. As technology evolves, so do we at a comparable rate. It wouldn't surprise me if going forward a generation was only defined by a decade.

I think it's perhaps there were changes within the decades of those centuries also, but since more information is lost with the passage of time, we tend to lump in centuries as being one big thing. Since the 20th century is so recent, we currently have more information with us to look at all of its nuances compared to like the 15th century or what have you.

LUIS CARLOS Olano mainly due to technological growth. when new things are invented and used by the public everyday, news spreads with a click of a button, and trends and people are able to change at a more rapid rate, things change much faster. think about it like this; back then, war wouldve taken years to plan, and some battles happened after the war was over because it took so long for information to spread. now, a country could literally nuke another nation out of existence in a matter of minutes. things are starting to happen faster.

Funny to see Millenials and Gen X timelines overlap. While I have always considered myself a GenX kid because we were kids whose parents worked until late in the day, so we were alone at home from school end to about 4pm when My sister would get home from college and then my parents would show up about 6pm or so. We were raised on Afternoon cartoons and sitcoms, easy to prepare meals that we learned at an early age, and almost absentee parenting which led to a lot of self policing. However, I was also one of those kids that dabbled in modems and BBS. I did my share of chatrooms and USENET discussions in my teens. I was far more collectivist in my youth, and have grown more individualistic in my adulthood. I have two boys born right before the great recession, and whose mom and I split when they were 5 and 4. they're 14 and 13 now. They are individualistic, and while they try to fit in by playing the same games that are popular at that time, they show that individualism by choosing different skins... like everybody else. I do find it interesting how opinionated they are about things that at their age I really hadn't thought about. I was always anti-war, but I wanted to join the Army; My 13 yo is very similar with me in that. However at his age, I never had a thought on abortion, he has a cellphone wallpaper that states a very pro-life message. Maybe it's something discussed at his mom's? Dunno. This is getting too specific and not generational, but I do look on them and wonder what I'll start to see as they grow into teens and young men. And t makes me think about what my own father saw in my slacker teens/early adulthood.

[@austinford7304]

I’m really early Gen Z. And I can absolutely testify to the “defined by technology” things.

[@wokk9543]

im really late gen z 2008

[@1293ST]

And what about 2010s onwards? They're already so different to Millennials - me. Btw. I think Millennials are rather 1990 - 2001

[@draconianscout]

Rf Eragon a perfect example

[@rabasi8330]

2001-present is Gen Z

[@faviolagonzalez2997]

I feel like 1900s-2006 seems the best Idk

[@faviolagonzalez2997]

but and can agree that us millennials grew up mostly without technology while newer generation did

[@civilizedjoke5148]

I keep saying these on each comment, but here I go again haha... Millenials 1981-1995 Gen Z 1996-2010

[@ShowginTV]

That censorship thing is very concerning. Free speech should apply to even the most unpopular of speech.

[@mooseitself]

I'm apart of the forgotten generation. Early 80's to mid 90's. Home computers, mtv, prime for the XTREEM! marketing of the 90's and instilled with the hardwork mindset of our parents.

[@huntnwabbits8150]

Cody I think you nailed it.

[@WillyTheComposerOfficial]

I think there's a greater difference between people born in the early 90's and those born in the late 90's than there is between those of the early 90's and those of the early 80's.

[@vladflaucher469]

It sure seems that way but not all generation z are alike

[@psyberdelicxp6042]

The brief Gen X description is pretty spot on, and describing my parents as the Boomers is also accurate

[@MizzNoire]

I'm "gen-x" and frankly, it sucks. We're going down as the worst generation and we deserve it. But, we can always blame our parents.

[@gfox9295]

Pfft. Can't be the worst generation ever when we followed the Boomers.
