Why Older People Hate Younger People

There seems to be a rift within society that’s a tale as old as time. Old people seem to hate younger people. The Internet, social media, self checkouts, Meghan Markle, Avocados & vegans are just some of the things that seem to get under their skin. Boomers had it tough and the Gen Z/Millenials have never had it so easy. So we’ve hit the streets to see how they really feel about each other. #youngpeople #boomer #british

Even in classical literature old Romans used to moan about 'the youth of today... no respect etc...'. In the build up to ww2, the older generation wondered whether the youngsters could cut it like they did in the first war. Once you start going on about 'the youth of today', you are officially old !

I work in a bar/restaurant and the most disrespectful/entitled people are the ones in their late 40s 50s 60s. Rarely have problems with people between 18 - 35

Old people are untethered from reality. I'm almost 50 and I hear people my age always talk about how disrespectful younger people our. I sorta remember being little assholes that went around smashing mailboxes, drinking and driving, getting in fights over nothing etc. We were no angles 😅

I'm a millenial and teach what is getting called Gen-Alpha and you have many in my generation that love to look down on them whilst at the same time the boomer look down on Millenials. Reality is that any cultural change from one generation to another comes with benefits and setbacks. This youngest generation are incredibly globally aware, more than probably they should be and way more than I was at their age. They have way higher emotional intelligence, they're much better at finding common ground and no one sees it because the media would like you to believe that not wanting to work is a sign that the generation is broken and not the system. The boomers equally have values in practical skill and experience but have no ability to see perspectives from any other angle than their own. The dumbest bit is that we raise the future generations. It's somehow considered now our responsibility to guide them which is just insanity. We desperately need some change in this country on a governmental level and on a media level.

The housing argument really falls on it's head when you ask what the salary multiplier was, my boomers told me about 17% interest rates, so I did the maths and showed them the difference on current house prices. My parents were boomers, you can't argue with them. Millennials I have faith you'll have the courage we never had.

I'm neither young or old but I can see that wages hasn't kept up with property prices. Back in the day there was no such thing as zero hour contracts. The long and short of it is the rich are getting richer and the rest are getting poorer. Those who are retired don't see it because they're not exploited by poor wages. Also in their day they didn't have competition from technology, for example self service checkouts. AI could put millions out of work. How would anyone get on the property ladder then?

@thomasandrewclifford Ай бұрын

It's going to get far worse before it gets better. AI will definitely damage society for decades before conversations like universal income even come up.

@peteradaniel Ай бұрын

@@thomasandrewclifford how do you prevent universal basic income being absorbed by an inflationary private sector? Much more than UBI needs to come into effect to make it worth while. Overhaul of both private rental laws and public housing; massive investment into the NHS and state pensions; a major tax overhaul to take the wealth from the top and cultural change to ensure the public sector provides not just payment but all basic services for existence.

Like the young lads at the start said, respect goes both ways. I also think it's something more specific to the UK. I'm Swiss and the older generation here doesn't have that same attitude towards the younger generations. There's still a generation gap for sure but none of this old-school bs that some of the English older generation support that got you Brexit and other crap. Maybe because we were never an empire. I'm 45 yo and I don't feel animosity towards younger or older generations.

@thomasandrewclifford Ай бұрын

I totally agree with the dying empire thing, even some millenials can get like that. the media and social media has an incredibly powerful influence on our older gen aswel though. Make no mistake, its not just the younger gen that cannot get off of facebook and it's non-stop fearmongering and echo chambers keeping the older gen cynical and angry at kids, immigrants and Trans people. What hurts the most is that the boomer generation at the moment were punks as kids and should really know better but they've just turned into the establishment they grew up fighting against.

It's funny how they claim to be less online but you've got older people following Trump, you know that wouldn't have happened before social media took over. I kinda wish they'd all just retire into Florida and let us actually have some control over our own country.

Joe had a really good point there. I worked hard buying my council house, for $15,000 while I was on the dole. Kids these daze shud pull dare bootstwaps oop like we did...

@piellamp Ай бұрын

Disagree with you...the housing market has increased in price compared to wages significantly you can google this average wage in the 80s compared to today. It mostly has to do with institutional investetors and ofcourse zoning laws where there is significantly more restrictions on where and how to build also lower interest rates compared to the 80s it means its easier to borrow money increasing prices as a result. Products however have in general come down in price compared to wages which might give the impression that younger people spend money on things they dont need

@@piellamp I agree with you dude. I started it sounding serious and then meandered into a silly point. I literally know people who bough council houses in the 80s and early 90s while not even working, for similar prices to that. A couple of these guys saying that young people should stop worrying about buying houses is a little silly and besides the point when people are spending 2 3rds of their income on just rent. And, if they don't move out they're seen as lazy dependent scroungers. It's all a bit silly really. Also, this is obviously a comment bate video, which is great for the algorithm and getting clicks.

Buying a house on social welfare for 15K sounds like a dream. Especially when the boomers are trying to strip us off those social benefits and seem completely unbothered by the cost of housing or rent.

Having just entered my seventh decade, I qualify as an older person. I utterly despise Donald Trump and the pathetic self-serving views of most of the older folk in this video. None of them lived through genuine hardship, unlike the generations before, most of whom I believe, from my recollection, had a more generous attitude towards the young. That said, I believe, and hope, that this was not a representative sample of the elderly (though perhaps it is in the area sampled). What a small minded, ill informed, bunch of bigoted, know nothings they were. As a simple example, the inaccessibility of property to the young today doesn’t require genius to figure out. It is simple arithmetic based on property prices and pay. Oh, and there was no such thing as the gig-economy back in my day either. I don’t begrudge young people buying a coffee either. The amount of money that could be saved by not doing so isn’t going to persuade NatWest to give anyone a 5x mortgage. But the most appalling thing was the guy who believes that Trump has a point about “fake news” when Trump himself is the biggest fake going. The gullibility on display was truly shocking.

I'm not sure this video was particularly helpful in combating this issue according to the comments... 🤔 This isn't a new thing, is it? "Youth is wasted on the young" & other such phrases wouldn't exist if it were. In summary; It was easier financially for the current older generation, AND by in large, they had a better work ethic (as they weren't raised with so many instant gratification opportunities around them). I'll manners & exist in both generations but in different forms: older tend to be less accommodating & more narrow-minded, youger less chivalrous. But above everything, all of this is really individual specific, and therefore, it's dangerous to generalise too much. Odd video... not their best work...

Not every young people is stupid. Some of us do work hard and stay out of trouble. While the majority older ones go start trouble for no reason just to say " im grown i can do that, but your young so you can't do that". Like why everything many people say is so negative but yet still i see a lot of older ones trying to act young and show clear jelaousy and then force the youth to act grown before their time come to that age of adulthood. This is serious double standard mindset that has brainwashed the whole world and the older generations to pass this type of influence onto the youth instead of actually just teaching them and letting the youth be themselves instead confusing them about their gender. Go examine yourself and stop f**king stuff and stop corrupting the youth.💯💯
