Interesting thought. That really is what the goal has been for many, but I think it makes more sense to raise the next generation to be healthy. This includes mental, physical, financial, and emotional health. Doing things to become a healthy individual always includes doing hard things. So, I think generations before that want the generation after to have things be "easy" completely misses the mark.

Everyone wants to be better than the ones before and after them, most parents want their children to be great, but don't know how or don't want to help in doing so.

There’s no such thing as laziness. It’s a fictional moral concept used as a pejorative, disinclination to activity or exertion happens for a reason, such as depression, health problems, a trapped environment that provides no rewards or chokes opportunity and punishes mistakes etc, not moral failure. The accusation of laziness is just a smug and cruel way for the industrious to condemn those who are already unlucky, and to say “they deserve it!” It’s the same mentality as people who rationalise to themselves that homeless people deserve to be homeless because “they’re lazy so couldn’t hold down a job“, and “morally weak so turned to drugs”. You have to be really narcissistic and cruel to think like that, but many people do.

What i've seen lately is that older people are blaming millennials for always being addicted to smartphones, music, videogames, etc. But if all those things were invented 70 years before we were born, don't tell us that you wouldn't have been as addicted to them as we are to them today, and plus, were just adapting to the environment around us, if the tech that we grew up with today was never invented and we were stuck with having to tame horses and work on a farm, we probably would have adapted to that environment just as well as we adapted to the environment today. We probably would've been addicted to books, and 70's country music for all I know.

Well, I'm 43. My Internet addiction started in 1995 (5 minutes after I tried it the first time) and has gotten worse in the last 10 years. I had television addiction in the 80s and 90s before that. I was able to give up tv for about 7 or 8 years, but then life sucked too hard and I had to go back to the tube, eh, screen to cope. I'm glad we didn't have this social media/constant KZbin thing when I was a kid though. There are really cool parts to it, but it's just too much.

[@digitalfootballer9032]

There is some truth to that. You see young people now totally engrossed in their smart phones. In the 80's, when my generation was young, we were totally engrossed in our Walkmans. It is funny though to see styles and interests repeat themselves. I see it with the clothing now. Young people dress now like we did in the late 80's-early 90's...tight jeans, ponchos, trucker caps, bright colors, and wayfarer style sunglasses. It's like it skips a generation. Millennials all have beards, like my dad's generation did in the 60's and 70's. I've noticed that underwear even has skipped generations. My grandfather's and mine were all boxers. The baby boomers and millennials are all briefs. Kinda funny. Of course there are always exceptions.

LewdManic Maybe they would like to get a better job except oh wait, you need at least a bachelor's degree to get anything halfway decent... but how can you get a bachelor's degree to get that better job if you can't even make enough money to survive, let alone pay the continually ballooning college costs? And don't give me any crap about tech schools. I tried that. Still can't find a job because my Associates only has value if I also have 2 - 5 years experience on top of it, but I can't get any experience because I need a Bachelor's just to get a job to get experience so I can use my Associates. Don't assume people are just lazy assholes. Low skill jobs are becoming increasingly rare, either outsourced to other countries with far cheaper labor or replaced by automation. It costs a lot money to get enough education to get higher skill jobs. You can't get that money unless a low skill job can pay enough to survive and have enough left over for an education (good luck finding that magical unicorn), go into massive debt that can't even be forgiven through bankruptcy, create a universal income system, or a have a free or reduced cost college system.

"Those iPhones are making you angry" actively triggered me! XD You have to admit that most parents blame electronics for their children anger issues, rather than bad parenting or behaviour on their behalf, or that they made the world harder to live in for future generations, and that we are just frustrated when our parents compare us to them, when it is scientifically proven that it was easier for them. :(

[@dejennerate]

In some aspects it was easier for them. Jobs were easier to come by, and you didn't need tons of experience to get them. You have to consider now that we have phones (where they barely did and were archaic compared to today) that we have a ton of opportunities thanks to our tech. You can now have a voice that reaches far and wide, where older gens could not do so as easily without getting into a field such as politics or journalism. Now, you can just pop onto KZbin, make a video for free that voices your opinions and can potentially influence people for the better, at the click of a mouse. There are more entrepreneurs now than ever, meaning more potential for self employment and future employment of like-minded people. Just watching Dragon's Den or Shark Tank is showing us how younger generations are becoming more inventive, creative and forward thinking in terms of products that are better for the future of the planet (in a lot of those cases). We have the potential to create more tech and improvements than any generation so I think the whole "there are no jobs, we can't afford houses" argument is only true if we aren't inventive, creative or willing enough to make something unique, useful or necessary ourselves. The potential of today's youth isn't 100% limited like a lot think it is. You're as limited as you limit your mind, but this mostly is applying to the 1st world countries. We have the chance to help 3rd world people when they do not have as much luxury and opportunities as us. Millennials and younger need to check our privilege and do more instead of being defeatist and blaming older generations.

Literally everything you mentioned does not apply to me and doesn't interest me as a job. Im a traditional leaning centrist btw.

Others: Ugh, post-millennials are all acting like children!!! Me: Um, most of us ARE children....? This is why I don’t understand the generation thing. It’s more of the age stereotypes than a generation (except technology added to it), and old people label it to them feel better about themselves.

[@freefalling75]

Generations (In my opinion) are more of the group that you grew up with/around. A generation would be separated by different times. "Boomers" are all people who were born and raised in what seems like an entirely different world than the one kids are growing up in today.

[@chegeny]

I've always felt that describing people by generations was a marketing strategy. Gen x years weren't even decided upon until the Pew Institute arbitrarily said so. It's not very helpful to a cohesive society of messy real-life people with shared memories of lived experiences, but extremely helpful to target and market goods and services to simple ranged populations.

B, thank you ... it's coming. I messed up by dumping all my video time into a video that was taking way too long and I've since shelved that one and started on a different one that is hopefully coming out this weekend or next week. Doing my best to get it done quickly because I haven't put anything out in 4 months.

@@ivang3021 So Gen Z is now everyone born after 1996? So in 80 years, is everyone going to be part of Gen Z? No. If millenials are from 1981-1996, about 16 years, then from 1997-2012 would be Gen Z. A generation is about 15-20 years, there will always be new terms.

Honestly I feel like "zoomer" was a term made by twitter millenials with unexpressed boomer hate. Gen Z are not 'zoomers' or 'zillenials' lol.

[@nataliaborys1554]

You didn't talk about post-millenials alot, when we get just as much hate as millenials. It's us who "Don't care about school", "Are spoiled" and "Care only about television and video-games". I don't know a person who has all of these 3 at once, yet many people think that all of us have all 3 of these characterisations present. And because of that, they try to counter it and make us hate the previous generations and actually cause this group to not care about adults. But don't listen to me, I'm just a post-millenial

[@scar445]

if you werent spoiled, cared about school and other things besides TV and games why is it so commonplace to place that stigma on you??? stereotypes dont just pop up out of the blue you know.

[@Sandstimes]

@@scar445 the stigma is commonplace because it's the exact same stigma that was given to the previous generations. Lazy, entitled, etc. Do all of your generations stereotypes apply to you? If your answer is "no", which it will be, then I ask you "why is it so commonplace to place that stigma on you"?? See that question is fucking stupid. And if your answer was "yes", you're a hypocrite.

[@melancholyentertainment]

@@scar445 It's because we're often lumped in with Millennials by people who don't know that a whole new generation started in 1996.

[@scar445]

@@Sandstimes it commonplace to put that stigma on my generation as either A) a method of redirection in order to move focus away from the topic at hand or B) its done by the generation before mine and therefore they put the same stigma on me, only i got chastised for always sitting inside, reading, and for spending playing D&D (my mom thought i kept me out of check with reality). see the difference in the things we get accused of?? maybe i should mention that my childhood took place when landlines were the main method of communication and you usually only had 1, in the living room. back then, if you wanted to see your friends, you visited them and prayed that they were home on the way there

[@melancholyentertainment]

And to be fair to those Gen-Z'ers who "only care about TV and Video Games", it's easy to be politically apathetic in the current climate, and we are influenced by the stereotypes to believe that our peers are spoiled and terrible, making us want to socialize less.
