The circle has already been broken, as ~zoomer, the vast majority of millennials I interacted with were really nice people.

As a millennial, the vast majority of zoomers I’ve interacted with have been cool.
- CTDummy ( @CTDummy@lemm.ee ) 22•5 months ago
Yeah that’s been my experience as well and I work for a bar. Most of my coworkers in that generation have been easier to get along with, easier to communicate with and don’t visibly panic at a “dead inside” joke. Direct contrast to my last workplace with more millennials/boomers. Ive yet to cop inter-generational shit talking from zoomers so they sure won’t get it from me. Plus look what they did with memes.
- Luminocta ( @Luminocta@lemm.ee ) 12•5 months ago
I think boomers to millennials would make more sense. Boomers are so hateful and desperate to keep what was promised to them that they will hold on to it even if it costs 3 generations of people almost everything.

I’m a really young zoomer and most millenials I interacted with were also really nice.
But there were also a few jerks

Is the inheritance of generational hatred depicted here even real? Some of the nicest people I’ve interacted with in my entire life were Baby Boomers. I’ve met shittier Gen Xers and Millennials than Baby Boomers.

It’s all bullshit, just generated for people to hate someone other then the ones they should be.

I’m a millennial and I don’t understand why anyone from my generation would have a problem with zoomers. Y’all are good people.

What millennials pick on zoomers, where?
- Exocrinous ( @exocrinous@lemm.ee ) English6•5 months ago
I don’t have a problem with zoomers, but I will make fun of them for using TikTok. It’s an unhealthy social environment. I know a zoomer who struggles with tiktok addiction and always does more poorly after using that app. They’ve been braver and kinder since they quit it.
- pinkdrunkenelephants ( @pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe ) English1•5 months ago
So instead of building a better platform for them, you denigrate them for conforming to the world you left behind for them.
You are exactly the boomer you claim to hate
- barsoap ( @barsoap@lemm.ee ) 1•5 months ago
So if they’re not going to save the world, nothing they ever do amounts to anything. Worse, the whole thing worked (the Zoomer quit Tiktok and they feel better now) so that was obviously bad.
And now, and please do mind that has nothing to do with age: Your argument is dumb and you should feel bad. In fact the first thing is Boomer talk, the shit they tried to get us with. Fuck that.

Picking on younger generations is healthy and natural: They’re still figuring stuff out and it’s a good way to give some teachings while everyone has a chuckle. What’s not healthy and natural is leaving them with neuroses where silent expectations, judgements, unwillingness to see their side etc. are the usual weapons: Don’t carry a dagger behind your back, doubly so don’t be unconscious of it, instead, open-carry a super soaker.

So you wouldn’t pick a snowball fight with a whole primary school because you’re oh so moral, not because you’re scared. Makes sense.
- pinkdrunkenelephants ( @pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe ) English1•5 months ago
Unlike you I do not, in fact, fear five-year-olds. And it’s not because of fear or principle. It is because I am not a craven, sadistic lunatic who feels the need to harm children to prove a point.
- barsoap ( @barsoap@lemm.ee ) 2•5 months ago
I shall look forward towards your experience report picking that snowball fight with a whole primary school, then. Also primary school is like 6-10, at least over here. They can throw.

SFM has been the patron saint of shitpost videos for decades. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that’s not easily replicated, you can always tell when something has been made in SFM and I think it’s become a part of the DNA of that subset of memes.

Baby Boomers as a generational cohort are well on their way to completely dying off and generational antagonism is a tool of the capitalist class to turn the workers of different ages against one another. Be better than that. Make better memes.

Ugh the generations… I don’t even know which is my own. Every time the topic crops up people give me a different timeframe for each gen.
Anyways, interesting to see the zoomer holding a mate and termo. I wonder what the original cartoon was about
- placatedmayhem ( @placatedmayhem@lemmy.ml ) English7•5 months ago
There’s no official time frame, so you’ll get different answers. Also, generations are somewhat arbitrary delineations that are defined by things other than age, particularly major events and themes that occurred in early life.
For example, it seems that “millennial” is congealing around 1981-1996, at least according to Wikipedia, but there’s still variance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenial#Date_and_age_range_definitions
- Truck_kun ( @Truck_kun@beehaw.org ) English2•5 months ago
Yeah, basically you’re a millennial if you’re currently in your 30’s. If you’re within a few years of that age, you may technically be a millennial, or even if not, you may still consider yourself a millennial, and that is fine. Generations are gradients, there is no firm start, or end, and as stated, is more about generalized experiences of your age group.
If you are 25 and want to call yourself a millennial, that’s fine, if you want to call yourself a gen z/zoomer, that’s fine too.

- SpaceCowboy ( @SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca ) 7•5 months ago
The concept of generations is just a social construct. These kinds of things are mostly just selection bias. If what’s seen as someone from an older generation criticizes something done by a younger generation, then “generational trauma” confirmed. If an older person agrees with a younger person, it’s ignored. If someone of the same age group criticizes, it’s also ignored.
It’s especially ridiculous when considering opinions on something as subjective and inconsequential as a meme.
- eupraxia ( @eupraxia@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English2•5 months ago
While I do broadly agree, I feel it’s important to note generational trauma is a real and separate concept. It just refers to the idea that trauma can be passed down from parents to children by repeating the same behavior or perpetuating the same ideas that traumatized them. This can be especially apparent in children of immigrants, religious extremists, or survivors of abuse, all for completely different reasons. It’s very common and worth talking about.
