    The older generation has basically always resented the younger generation for:

    1. Their lives being easier,
    2. Their music and clothing being awful,
    3. Doing sex wrong.

    It’s like a constant of recorded history. The Romans said these things in ~300BC.

      Also about the younger generation being too soft, which I believe ties with your first pint.

      As a millennial I don’t resent zoomers, I actually feel ashamed for not having done better by them

      As for music and clothes… I mean… we had Gabbers…

        As a fellow (albeit very late) millennial, what is a gabber?

        I hope the Gabbers are still out there? … That is, if they used that amphetamine sparingly.

      Since when were young people’s lives easier? Young people work like mules and barely keep roofs over their heads!
