Quit trying to impress children. Who gives a shit what their preferences are.
Gen Z is almost 30
They’ve got like 3 years left.
Signed, 28 year old millennial.
Yeah. Gen Z is getting boring.
Can we divide out the next generation already so we can make the same claims about them we’ve been making for 500 years again?
No.
Stop making new generations.
Whoever’s doing it really sucks at coming up with names.
Gen AA
I ain’t trying to impress people in their 20’s then. And I’m going to laugh as they try to keep up with these broken ass skibidi toilet kids.

Like they said: children.
About to turn 27 and the existential dread is really kicking in.
Uh, who cares? Use what you want people
99% of the time with this shit no one’s heard of it because it’s not happening.
Agreed. I’m not much of a contrarian, but I certainly wouldn’t value the likes and dislikes of a bunch of ipad babies who judge people by the quality of their fortnite skin.
Alright but I think you are incredibly undervaluing the experience when your tricked out Allmight skin starts to tektonik dance over the death pixels of a muscular Peter Griffin.
…tektonik is re-alive?
Thought that died out 10 years ago and got overtaken by shuffling lol.
It lives in Fortnite now lmao
*Furiously nodding in my ankle socks and skinny jeans
Why should anyone care what GenZ thinks?
This isn’t something “gen z” thinks though this is just bullshit on Twitter
The gen that brought back mullets and serial killer glasses think my fashion choices are cringe?
I’ll allow them to wear what they like and we’ll both shut up about it, thanks.
Agreed, but I for one love the mullets
You are objectively wrong!
But folks are allowed to like things that I don’t.
You do you.
Calm down, boomer. You’re just jealous your hairline is disappearing faster than your chances of retiring someday. I, on the other hand, will never retire. But I have a luscious, full mullet to get me through these trying times
I would upvote but the count is at 69, so you get a 👍
I look forward to inflicting terminal cringe on gen z
What I’m not understanding is letting kids dictate what’s cool as if cool was ever dictated by anyone but me 😎
Right? You stopped doing something because a bunch of high schoolers think it’s cringe?
It’s weird, companies have always let young people dictate culture for money reasons, but I’ve never really thought about it being adults scared of what kids think. Like…have some personality? Have some kind of sense of who you are and what you like. Fuck what kids think about unimportant trends. We should listen to them when it comes to social issues, because that’s just called progress. But this just strikes me as such a weird way to think.
Me hearing that people give a shit what gen Z think.
I’m gen Z and I don’t even give a shit
How do you feel about reaction gifs though?
no
I was thinking this.
As a millennial I’ma have to just come out and say it:
The way we’re all pilling on gen-z and saying they’re all dumb for this… It’s giving Boomer. Not a good look.
Even assuming this was really posted by a gen-z, we can still do our own thing while they make whatever the new cool thing is. We don’t have to try to be cool forever. We’re old now, folks, it’s ok
Unless I’m reading it wrong, both people here are trying to look cool in front of Gen Z, and are giving up things they like in order to accomplish that.
My general understanding is that the Millenials really like Gen Z. I know I do, they seem funnier, smarter and more socially conscious than the groups I grew up with.
You’re reading it right. Not sure how one could read this any other way.
However, misunderstanding content online is often framed as a boomer thing so OP’s comment still works surprisingly well.
Gen Z here. Your interpretation seems correct to me, but I’m also on the way older end of the generation.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s super common for millenials to hate on gen Z for stupid stuff the same way boomers do, but this thread is not an example of it. It’s just a bunch of people saying “do what you want, don’t need to be cool” and playful teasing.Also, it might just be because I’m on the older end, but I haven’t even heard of anybody from my generation cringing at any of these things. Either there’s a bigger divide between older and younger than I thought, or we’re getting accidentally lumped in with gen alpha again.
My youngest sister (turning 18) compared me to my boomer aunt, when I was using gifs in a chat with her. I’m in my 30s, being told you are the same as one of the most boomer persons you know, caused some form of psychic damage I wasn’t prepared for…
Huh. Most of my friends are in the older gen Z and younger millenial range and reaction GIFs are everywhere in every chat we have. I’m just about the only one who doesn’t use them, and it’s not because I find them cringy, they’re just not my style.
I don’t care what the zoomers like or don’t like. Fuck them kids
please, don’t fuck them kids
There are zoomers in their mid 20s. I’ll consensually fuck whomever I please.

Zoomer here. This is the first I’m hearing of this. Though this isn’t the first time I’ve seen people make up bullshit to get mad at younger people.
I understand using generations as an aid to statisticians dividing populations but using generations to generalise behaviour is weaponising age in a way that shouldn’t happen (as a test swap out a generation comment for a body type or your homophobic slang of choice)
OK Boomer
Ok coomer
ok cooter
If any GenZ want to know why I do uncool things even though you’ve attempted to educate me: it’s because doing so makes you physically cringe like an ice cube down the spine and it’s funny.
I do cool things because I used to be cringe but they changed what cringe was and now I’m cool. And what’s cringe now is scary and confusing.
I think a lot of millennials are “button-pushers” (aka enjoy pushing people’s buttons) and love that kinda stuff; and if Gen Z wants to continue to get along with us, they’re gonna have to learn how to not get mad when we intentionally press their buttons. Like, the 90s and 2000s were the best time to be a button-pusher because trolling at that time was an art form and form of internet comedy. Sure, trolls could be infuriating, but you knew they were fucking with you.
Nowadays, the term has been appropriated and redefined to refer to someone who spreads propaganda. Pushing someone else’s buttons is now frowned on, not just irl but online as well. Sure, there are shitposts, but there’s sort of an expectation that you’re meant to ensure everyone is on the same page and not leaving people clueless. It’s not like trolling where you’re intentionally trying to mislead someone to fuck with them.
I just like my socks :(
trolling at that time was
ana art formNo, “an” is correct, since the next word begins with a vocal sound.
Although it would be funny if that’s just a troll.
“Trolling is a art” is an ancient meme. Kind of the internet equivalent of a Dad joke, which makes the downvotes pretty funny, given the comment I was replying to!
So my instinct was right but my judgement was not.
You’re lying. You’re only supposed to use “an” before an word that begins with an consonant.
Of course. Silly me. I‘m not an native speaker, so excuse my mistake.
FYI they’re either misleading or just wrong. You were right. An Apple. A pear. Etc
what I love about it is that it isn’t exactly “when the following word starts with a vowel”, but rather when it sounds like it starts with a vowel, regardless if it does or not.
my favourite example is “herbs”. In some versions of English, you say her-buh, so it would be “a herb”. Some parts of the world, the ‘h’ is silent, so it’s pronounced “erb”, and would “an herb”.
that concludes today’s language lesson!
I still hold by the ancient family tradition of burning trolls. Push buttons at your own peril.
“She had it coming” she said calmly, licking her thumb and rubbing ash from her cheek. “She refused to stop mentioning the game.”
I don’t understand why people think they can fuck with other people without provoking an unpleasant reaction. They’re basing it on one side behaving with civility in response to abuse, and that’s just fucking stupid. So yeah, burn the trolls.
U mad bro?
Nope, just mildly perturbed. *You
If any GenZ want to know why I do uncool things even though you’ve attempted to educate me:
Unless you’re talking about your own kids, why are so many kids trying to “educate you”?
They must have discovered that someone has a wrong opinion on the Internet
The people who wear white socks with slides in public have something to say about my ankle socks? Get off my lawn, idiot kids.
I very recently bought my very first ankle socks because it was so damn hot. And a couple wife-beaters which I had never worn in my life. I guess I turned the age where I don’t give a fuck. And get off my lawn.
You can afford a lawn?
In Minecraft.
Mine’s in Draenor.
