Why Every Generation Hates The Next One

[@capnbarky2682]

As an almost 31 year old millenial, nothing has been more scarring than watching the exact same virulent hatred of the youth that defined our generation be perpetrated again without an ounce of irony.

[@najpotenicewolf934]

Funny enough, the same thing already happens between Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Of course, it's more directed at millennial parents, than Gen Alpha themselves, as they are only children who don't really know any better. Tbh. Some of the criticism is somewhat valid, but I have a feeling that social media has blown it out of proportion. But I'm sad to think how it will affect how we are going to perceive Gen Alpha when they enter will be become adults.

[@capnbarky2682]

@@najpotenicewolf934 I think the generalized criticism is much the same type of biases talked about in this video, especially for parents. As a millenial parent myself, the typical peanut gallery criticism is the creation of the "iPad kid". Yet, when I was growing up, my boomer parents stuck me with a gameboy. Their parents stuck them in front of the TV when they were home. Going all the way back to ancient greece there were people suggesting that kids getting stuck in front of books was going to make them disrespect their elders and teachers. Generational hatred of the youth goes hand in hand with generational hatred of parents. I don't think it's gotten worse over time but it's definitely gotten LOUDER.

[@Dechelgo]

This doesn’t disregard the idea that “Ipad kids” is a very valid criticism. So are gameboys. So is tv. IPad kids are worse, but damn, just take fucking care of your kids. I don’t know about the books, but I know that philosophers were afraid that books would hurt our memory. Guess what? They were right.Knowing that something is written down makes you more likely to forget it. Pretty there’s a study (from what i heard from pewdiepie).

[@capnbarky2682]

@@Dechelgo it's not a valid criticism to levy at a whole generation, especially when a lot of kids are getting their iPads from boomer grandparents. I've spent most of my time watching my daughter, I also don't go on my phone a lot to make a good example, but I don't criticize parents who need a screen to get them and their kids through the day because I don't know everything they're going through. Also "pretty sure there's a study from what I heard from pewdiepie" is something you say when you should probably not be speaking expecting anyone to take you seriously.

[@LRM12o8]

@righteousrayyan2078 That's it! On one hand, everybody sees the stubbornness of the old folks and takes it as evidence that they're smarter than the older generations, while on the other hand, everybody believes to get wiser as they age, meaning of course we are wiser than the young and many people don't even listen to the young and consider their ideas because of that belief. Which ironically is the exact same stubbornness that everybody sees in the old folks and so the cycle continues. What too few people ever realize is that: A) Some things the older people do may only seem stubborn and unnecessary/stupid because you haven't made the experiences they made yet. B) People don't *automatically* gain wisdom as they get older. Gaining wisdom requires you to 1) *make experiences* and 2) take *valuable life lessons* from them! The years that make your age only provide you opportunities to make experiences, but it's on you to 1) take those opportunities and also 2) learn from them. Some people take the first opportunity they can get for everything and gain wisdom far beyond their years, while others stick to their same ways from day one, never make new experiences and never learn a single thing in their life! Those people never mature past early childhood stages, but they still think they're wiser and deserve more respect than anyone younger than them because of that universal misconception of "age=wisdom". They don't gain any wisdom, they just get more arrogant!

[@angryoldcanadian3905]

Gen X here. We grew up in the 80's being called the 'slacker' generation. Nothing new here. I grew up on a farm and had to do tons of chores. Often dangerous work that a child shouldn't be doing. This didn't make me better, it just endangered my life needlessly. All of my friends didn't live on a farm and were always being lazy. From a management perspective. I work with multiple generations and have found the older generations are far worse. The first is safety standards. I've seen boomers completely ignore safety standards because they didn't do it like that in 'their days', endangering whole crews of people. The second major issue is when there is a lack of work, I will often see the older generation sweep the same section of the floor for hours, completely wasting money. Newer workers tend to follow safety standards when they are trained properly and don't argue about them. When there is no work, I often get asked if they can clock out and leave early because they have other things they can do other than waste company time. It isn't laziness, it is using their time wisely.

[@Jonny-wv2fc]

Absolutely agreed

[@deerdude1]

My parents are Gen X and that sounds pretty accurate lol. They don't care about what I do as long as it's not too dangerous, they're usually pretty understanding instead of calling me "lazy" or "useless" for no reason, and they don't pressure me into being a doctor or anything and just tell me to find a way to sustain myself in the future without doing anything stupid.

I’m 43. I work with and amongst many Gen Zers. It’s nowhere near a corporate setting. It’s a bar. Now, I wouldn’t say they’re lazy., but they’re anxious to a debilitating point. Their anxiety cripples them. Everything is so overwhelming to them. One coworker in his thirties can work a 14 hour shift without even wanting to take a break, while some of the 23 year olds can’t go three hours without needing an hour for “mental health.” When you have people twice your age out-performing you in almost every way, it’s going to look like you’re lazy. Perhaps Gen Z just weren’t challenged enough in school during their formative years, and now anything that does challenge them becomes overwhelming. When you’re young and you have obstacles and challenges to overcome, it builds character. So, perhaps, it’s not laziness but a lack of character that’s afflicting this generation.

As a Millenial I do not feel hate towards the next generation. I feel pity for them: They are faced with some unique challenges that haven't even or barely existed when I grew up - think the predatory dopamine-hacking by advertisement and social media (with detrimental effects on attention span especially concerning short-form media content), the current state of the economy (insert "first time?" meme here), the general instability in the world (conflict situations in middle east, Ukraine and other places), the rise of extremist populism not seen since the 1920s-1930s, our new (rather unexplored) environmental pollutants and so on. I've worked with some of them. They are organised, meticulous and want to do a good job and in working hours try to get as much done as they can. But they also want fair compensation and treatment. I find that most people who complain "nobody works anymore" is just doing something wrong, it is a reflection of the own flaws more than a reflection of the flaws of this generation in general. A particular trend I have noticed among the older cohorts of society is that they treat them as children, almost like pre-schoolers. I find this highly disrespectful considering that most of them already have either work experience or have studied a full on bachelors at least.

I use my rough childhood as an excuse to spoil my nephew, not to justify making him suffer. I was NEGLECTED and my parents were still far more present than many kids' parents nowadays. When you're 5, you dont understand that your parents have to work 2-3 jobs each so that your stomach stays full and your bed stays warm.

All they know is that it makes the pain of not having their parents around as much as they want go away for a little while.

And they took it all: sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and they stayed loaded for 20 years and had a free ride. But now they're staring down the barrel of middle-age burnout, and they don't like it. So they've turned self-righteous. They want to make things harder on younger people. They tell 'em, abstain from sex, say no to drugs; as for the rock and roll, they sold that for television commercials a long time ago...so they could buy pasta machines and Stairmasters and soybean futures."" * AS SOYBEAN FUTURE IS MENTIONED, soybean meal is one of the biggest investments of boomers, you know exactly why those crazy vegetarians rally for "EAT MEAT IS A CRIME", they are just boomers' puppets. It's not that i don't acknowledge the positive effects of vegetables in terms of nutrition, but if I'm doing it to fund evil and give up on thinking, then I think it is a bigger crime than animal slaughtering. After all, you're committing a brain suicide, and there can't be a worse criminal punishment than that.

@YouKnowImOnMyPeriodYah "medieval people" is too vague of a term. The medieval period covers more than a thousand years across an entire continent - across many countries, each with their own cultures. Even individual countries tend to have a lot of cultural diversity when there's no Internet enabling instant communication. It wasn't a period where culture remained stagnant, or where the economy didn't fluctuate. Attitude towards religion often changed between generations or countries. Some were hyper puritan, while others scoffed at the idea. So, I would assume even medieval people were also experiencing the same "YoUnG pEoPlE tHeSe DaYs!" cycle. It's just a pattern that's ingrained in human nature.

I think this stems from a lot parents no having a good or close relationship with their gen z children (whether they're kids or adults). Most of them don't interact with them. These parents or other authority figures refuse to sit and listen. They want to do nothing but lecture on what they pretend to think gen z needs help with and put words in our mouths, rather than listen to our reasons AND THEN give their lectures. I often see posts online about gen z having certain problems (like loneliness), and when actual gen zers try to share why themselves have these problems, you always get some older person (mostly likely gen x) saying, "Well, I think you guys have this problem because of (blank)." And I'm like, not everything is about you!

Now, you can have access to anything you want to watch or play, and you can access a conversation with anybody at any point in time. It’s amazing and yet, I feel like I missed out on the constant stimulation when I was a kid. I think about all the time I spent waiting on my parents to finish shopping, all the long car rides, all the nights I couldn’t sleep and had nothing to do. As a kid, boredom was the worst feeling ever. The newer generations have things that make their lives better, and I believe that some of the animosity towards younger generations comes from subconscious envy. We forget that today’s generations have different problems than we had. When we think about it in this context we tend to fixate on the problems that have solutions now.
