That woman saying "get out of our houses and stay out for more than seven days. We don't care about you" literally made me recoil and wince. Yikes. She'll be wondering why her kids don't talk to her anytime soon if she even has any.
No fr that video made me actually annoyed and upset cause how are you gonna say smth like that to/about you’re own kid and then actually still believe you’re a good parent 💀
Yeah that was upsetting 🤦 I need to know my son is alive and safe ,he's grown several states away so yeah I for real care very very much so I won't upset or cross lines .
If her children see that just wow 🥴she may very well regret saying that . I'm under the impression she is assuming they won't . To assume well you know it's not wise to say things we don't mean it could definitely haunt us forever.
wild how "we went outside" are the same shitheads who raised you like "no no don't go outside don't hang out with friends outside of school don't have a social life the world is dangerous"
In high school I wasn’t allowed to go for walks outside my house because it was dangerous. So now I mostly just stay inside unless someone asks me to go out
the whole ped o thing kinda ruined a lot of letting your kids go outside. I used to roam around free as a kid. didn't go home unless it was lunch or dinner. Chris Hanson and the media kinda pounded fear into a lot of parents.
@ oh definitely, i won’t argue with that there. i just think we have a lot more tools now to keep them safe too (for example life360 is a tracking app you can connect your family with). however it did bite me in the ass because now i am tracked at 23 years old 🙃
@@zealousamourous I would say they cared a lot since they were the generation that established the counter culture movement. The concept of the “silent majority” is where they get their moniker, but at the same time, the civil rights movement of the 60s was their responsibility.
As a millennial I also have something to tell Gen Z. Toothpaste can be used to clean silver, 50% of flour in most baking recipes can be replaced with whole wheat flour with no need for further adjustments, and wash graphic tees inside out.
P.S. - shave a bar of soap and add it to a blender with a box of borax and a box of washing soda. When it’s blended, store it in an air tight container and revel in _80 loads_ of laundry detergent.
Gen X went from "Nobody remembers us and we don't care" straight to FULL ON BOOMER RAGE targeted at their own children so damn fast, it's incredible and it's embarrassing.
This whole situation reminds me of several years ago when boomers and millennials (ie. parents and their children) were arguing on the internet too. I guess it must just be a thing where as soon as your kids hit their early 20s you start to get jealous of them or something? 🤔As a millennial I still think that boomers are the shittiest generation of all time.
My draft card must have got lost in the mail. I had no idea we were at war with a bunch of kids. I thought Gen X was locked in an eternal war with the boomers.
Don't feel bad. Mine hasn't shown up yet, either. If it does, though, I'm going to take a page out of the playbook of the generation that raised me and head to Canada. 😊
Literally, my mom raised me to be kind. Almost every day she said “idc who they are, you never know what someone’s going thru, be kind” then I grew up “liberal” and she has the audacity to be bitter abt it. You raised me girl??? You voted for Obama???
I honestly think this is just parents that raised their kids poorly now taking out their frustration on an entire generation. Like the fact that they’re upset about something and their reaction is to imply violence is very telling.
considering boomers also raised millenials who they hate but ultimately have a lot in common with, i feel like this is a pattern. whether that's bc they see too much of themselves in the younger generation which makes criricizing them easier and more personal, or this is just redirected family drama, is hard to say
@@AmH-98-w2b true, some people just forget that the stuff they liked in the past it doesn't stop existing once new stuff apears. it's fine to not like it yourself but it is not okay to shame on people who do and are just having fun.

Yep. So it's actually grandparents starting beef with their grandkids while their own children are just doing the best they can to keep everyone alive! I've been saying it for quite a while, and at this point it's the only thing getting me through the days...the whole world will be so much better off once Gen Z and Alpha are in charge. If we Milenillals accomplish nothing else, I HAVE to believe we've raised better kids!
Even tho they also neglected Gen Z, so now they're just a angry old man sitting in their chair, and instead of realizing that they have wasted their life, they keep on pretending that they're the forgotten child that did no wrong
@@KeefeSencen1543 if no one teaches you, you probably aren’t gonna go out of your way to learn it. And most cursive letters are legible even if you don’t know how to read it so it’s really not a needed life skill
Fr they're kinda forgetting that a lot of gen z are adults and still had education without much technology involved at least through elementary. Yes, we also had to write essays in cursive lmao
I don't get how drinking from a hose is a flex for these people. Thats filthy no matter how you slice it. Theyre pretty nuch bragging about poisoning themselves.
I never drank from a hose (that shit has a VERY particular nasty smell/taste) or jumped any fences (didn't even know anyone that had one). I hate that the jocky bullies that peaked in high school are now the ones making these ridiculous TikToks . So, just like in high school, I will just sit back and watch them act like fools for a little bit while they think it's really gonna get them places, but in reality they are just so miserable with their own lives that they have to tell their wives to threaten to kick my ass when I show up at the class reunion. LMAO, true story. We became friends because of that and their marriage only lasted 3 1/2 years.
There are asshats calling people snowflakes in every generation. That's Republicans, not X'ers. I mean there here, they exist and they are the correct age. But you are attributing a trait as generational, when it is political.
also it's fun how they're like "we don't plan, we just do, we don't need to list out things" as if this call to war isn't planning something, if you "just do" things you wouldn't need to make all these calls for gen x to assemble. there has been all planning and zero doing in this scenario lmfao
@@galaxy_blast5588 OK, so, if you're right and Gen Z isn't going through an early mid-life crisis, then their actually mid-life crisis should be scarily spectacular. Sort of glad I won't be around to see it.

@@user-eu1rh2nm8jI agree but I believe people are doing that because these Gen X’ers are kind of positioning themselves as “spokespersons” so I can see why people see them using the Gen X label and go okay Gen X then
Your characterization is accurate🤷🏾♀️ What can I say? Now back to minding my own business and paying off these college loans, mine and my step child's.
"We watched Gremlins when we were 5" I watched cartel execution videos at 8, the standard of watching horror movies at a young age became DRAMATICALLY lowered with the creation of the modern internet "We can write in cursive" Ok, thats cool. I barely learned it in 5th grade because its becoming obsolete and less places require signatures around me at least. "Nobody gave a fuck about us. All that mattered was that we were alive." Yeah, thats not a good thing. I was raised like that as well, but the catch is my parents actually cared about what I was up to. I drank from the hose, I was out until the street lights were on, what's your point? Youre gatekeeping basic activities because youre bothered by the fact that you were neglected. "We commited crimes!" Literally everyone commits crimes, from jaywalking to theft. This isnt an exclusive thing, youve just made it your personality. Im so glad most of Gen X acknowledges the things they went through werent good experiences and are avoiding them, and this is just the loud minority.
As a millennial I also have something to tell Gen Z. When ironing something made of cotton, linen, or wool, mist it with water first so that it's damp. For best results, let it cool/dry on the ironing board before picking it up. Laying an unvarnished piece of wood (like a clean cutting board) on top of it helps speed up the cooling/drying process.
Also a Millennial; to Gen Xers, Adding white vinegar to your laundry loads is a good substitute for fabric softener. The vinegar scent goes away once the clothes are dry.
I also have some advice. Don't buy clothes that you need to follow special advice for, it will save you time and money. And bleach is only for items that are completely white, like socks, underwear, and some white towels and washcloths. Don't make the mistake my sister made who thought that bleach was always for clean towels and bleached her black towels.
Now go ask your dad why he raised you to be a snowflake. It is 10000% true for sure. GenX are your parents who raised you with your short attention spans, lack of a solid education, easily triggered over any little inconvenience, all of it. They went through massive life trauma so you wouldn't have to and basically their trauma is why you were never allowed to do anything in life but sit behind a computer and make virtual friends....and if you ask your dad, he will tell you all about camp, and creatures, and the insane lack of adult supervision, the teen pregnancy epidemic, the serial killers, hitch hiking, bad teachers, wildlife.....all the movies that terrorized an entire generation, all the slasher movies, the horror flicks....GenX vampires didn't sparkle and mope. They'd rip guts out in the most violent of ways. GenX kids were exploring desolate tunnel systems, abandoned houses (or not abandoned houses), drag racing in their vehicles before they got learners permits, the fake sleepovers and fck parties, the band groupies, the coke parties. All that and more is why you didn't leave the house, lol.
Gen X here. I love Gen Z. I had to leave a Gen X group because all they did was grumble about "kids these days," and without a hint of self-awareness. Embarrassing. I can't make a casserole for shit, though.
I am an elder millennial with a gen x sister. That whole notion is bullshit. If anything, we were one of the most looked after generations because the whole neighborhood was looking after everybody's kids. Not in a weird way. Not once did I ever see anybody drink from a hose. We would go to our neighbors that we knew, and they would give us cookies and something to drink like Kool-Aid.
What confuses me about Gen X's obsession over Eminem is that he has been criticized since the beginning of his career. He was never universally loved. He's not Dolly Parton.
And he has been cringy his entire career. I was a child when “Without Me” came out… I thought it was stupid and tacky then too. His slim shady persona has always been the least interesting part of his career.
As a millennial librarian I do have some advice for gen z. Please, if you ever want to save something for the future-like say you’re packing up for college and putting some childhood papers/cards/retro photos in boxes-do not use a rubber band to keep it together! I’m not sure how relevant this is anymore, but give it a decade and that rubber band essentially turns into dried pasta. Also, a lot of grandma’s recipes were probably cut from the back of a cereal box or a soup can (there’s some really fascinating research on this!). So if you aren’t talking anymore or you never got the chance to ask, a quick google search might help you find that nostalgic taste you’re craving.
As a Gen Zer with a Gen Xer mom, she keeps talking about how we’re so soft and can’t take anything and how her mother raised her so differently. I asked her “why didn’t you raise us like your mother did then?” And suddenly she was at a loss for words
As a GenXer with "Silent generation" parents? This is just "parent brain". They told us the same thing and we complained about it just like you are. You will tell your kids the same thing too unless you make the conscious effort to remember this. That is also part of "parent brain" - you forget how often your parents made things easy for you. Or they forget how rebellious they were as kids. It's like amnesia or something. But I also believe that every generation is "softer" than previous generations because of technology. Technology isn't just a smart phone, it's also the person that first used a controlled fire to cook or raised a farm animal rather than just hunting constantly. I'm sure other strengths come out though like focusing on mental wellness.
@@melissas4874 honestly makes sense what you said, and I don’t have any gripes with how my mom raised me (or with my mom at all) I just thought this was funny because it’s odd to complain that a child that you raised wasn’t raised properly. But oh well there’s worse things I guess. At least I have a great relationship with my mom
I think its sad because you know damn well when she was expecting you she told herself she was gonna do right by you she was gonna do everything her mom didn't let her do yadda yadda we hear it all the time and then now that we've reached this point I don't know she's becoming brainwashed by the white noise bullshit other people in her generation love spewing out?? It makes me really sad. My mom tells me (she was .. oof is haha a boomer 1956, and I guess I'm considered a millennial 1993) when she was growing up children were expected to be seen and not heard.
"we used to watch gremlins at 5 years old" ma'am, gremlins is almost more of a comedy than a horror movie. Edit: glad to see this is the common consensus.
Yeah like, I had pretty protective parents and I was allowed to watch Gremlins as a kid. That movie is definitely aimed at younger audiences than most horror lol
It's not a real horror film correct. Millennials and Zoomers grew up with actual snuff films on LiveLeak anyway. I've seen enough gore of actual dead bodies online that it didn't bother me in medicine besides the smell. 🤷♀️
I saw a comment on one of those videos with a Gen X woman proudly bragging that she won't take her Gen Z kid to therapy because her parents wouldn't have taken her. You're lashing out about your abuse on the kids you're abusing now and you're proud of it.
@@halfknight2310 yeah, she was like "lmao I never told my parents anything and they only told me when dinner would be on the table and to not talk back. She wants therapy and I cannot fathom that she's so fragile, Gen X is so much tougher lol"
To be fair, no one in the century is the strongest generation. The real strongest generation is the generation that went through World war 2, because so many things were happening, the hell, a cost, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl and the nuke
my mama is gen x and she always says "ohh we had to suck up to the older generations and now we've got young workers demanding that they dont have to work on weekends or do overtime! so we have to suck up to them too!!!" and no matter what i say she doesnt realize the common enemy there is her bosses 😭
I mean, there are still people who will legit tell you that "young men need a war to toughen them up" and actually mean it. This is the biggest bs I've ever heard. I'm born in 1988 and dude, I cannot imagine trying to make my kids' lives tougher than it needs to be. Aren't we supposed to make the next generations' lives better than ours? Why tf even have kids then if you do it just to shit on them. Or have them shat on by someone who is your age. Just mad.
@@GrimMelvin Born in 1989. I did the war thing. Not a great time, if I'm being honest. I don't think it made me tougher. It definitely made me more reckless in my 20s, after I got out of the Corps. I did a lot of dumb shit, fell in with the not-cool-side of the biker lifestyle and made some seriously poor choices that I'm still occasionally seeing consequences from. Ongoing therapy is helping with that kind of decision-making, and I'm way better off just as a human being now that I'm in my mid-30s and have left the lifestyle behind, but on the whole I think I probably would've been better off not...Y'know. Fighting in a war.
@@MidniteSpectre Thank you! I am, really. I've moved on from that life. I don't have quite as any "friends" as I used to, since I cut myself off from the community, but the friends I do have don't get me involved in dumb shit and I haven't spoken to a police officer besides to say hello in the gas station checkout line in over 2 years now, which is nice. I think I'm also just a generally better person. Much less aggressive, more accepting of other people. I just got done putting myself through trade school and honestly the Gen Z kids I met there helped mellow me out a lot. I've got no beef with the younger generation.
as a daughter (gen z) of a millennial mom that used to beat my ass because of my undiagnosed autism symptoms, beating doesn’t make you tough, it teaches you to cry in your pillow instead of speaking up and seeking help. Dont beat kids guys
either that or it makes you a rageful, angry person who easily resorts to violence. we actually know exactly what hitting your kids does, and it pretty much universally results in angrier, sadder, more anxious, less socially conscious people.
I'm so sorry, I had hoped that my generation is going to try to do better, that we all collectively wanted to do better, to not repeat our parent's mistakes. Violence against your kid is never ok - it's a sign of weakness, of inability to communicate your feelings. Is your mom in therapy, are you? Is she putting any effort to do better? Regarding abuse, there's a book that is centered around partner abuse but I think it describes motivation of abusive behaviour pretty well in other dynamics and I think it's of incredible value for any young person - especially neuro divergent folks - to take time to read it. It's available online for free - Lundy Barcroft, the title is "Why does he do that". I think understanding the reasons why people resort to abuse and violence is,in way, incredibly freeing for victims as it sort of, vindicates the fact that it's *not your fault*. Please take care and stay strong ❤
@@margodphd at least i hope gen z is the generation that speaks up and stops the cycle of abuse and neglect in families, i am on good terms with my mom now so no hard feelings but it was some kind of trauma i had as a kid
GenXer here. You younger gens are kicking ass and standing up for things we never could. I am pretty damn proud of you. These fights make me laugh. We raised you guys! We wanted you to have feelings and be more understanding with anything that was different. And we didn't want you to be left alone all the time. We taught you to do everything we couldn't because we wanted kids that were better than us. And it worked. You guys are doing good in the world
Coming from a younger gen z lots of you guys are super cool and chill, like my mom who’s a gen x, she said she wants no part whatsoever in any of this 😭😭 im glad that most of you guys had kids and ended the passing down of abuse. You guys did good for the most part 😋
"We grew up watching Gremlins." I had to practice twice a year on how to survive if someone decided to walk into my classroom with a gun since I was seven. Next!
Gen Z here, grandma made me watch gremlins with her when I was 5 too…also by age 11 I was watching men burn alive on call of duty so yodas meth family didn’t bother me so much😂
And five year olds today watch poppy playtime playthroughs and don’t even flinch 😅 I was scared very easily as a kid so I’m honestly astounded by them lol
My favorite (1998 baby) is when people tell me I haven’t seen a movie because I’m too young, despite the fact that Vincent Price is one of my fav actors and Stan Winston is my favorite SFX artist and I talk about him unprompted way too much when I get annoyed about modern films. I’ve seen movies like All Quiet On The Western Front, Cabinet of Dr Carligari, Nosferatu, The Day the Earth Stood Still… and Alien as well as Creature from the Black Lagoon are my two favorite horror films. To be fair I used to want to BE a SFX artist for movies but a lot is CGI NOW ewww 😂❤
"We can write in cursive and watched Gremlins as a 5 year old!" Thats great, I'm gen Z and learned cursive too. I also watched Gremlins when I was a little kid on VHS because my parents thought I'd like it since they felt it was a kid friendly "horror" movie.
As a 35 yo, I am so embarrassed for these full grown adults picking fights with teenagers on social media. How can they not see how ridiculous they are, holy f*ck
Gen Z is as old as 27, so it's not *entirely* with teenagers, plenty of them are post-college age. Gen alpha is getting into the teenage years at this point.
@@Strega_del_Corvo I know… and it’s gotten to the point where our own gen xers actually are picking fights with us because we’re not “REALLY” Gen X if we’re born at tail end of the generation. None of it makes sense.
the line blur between the gens is real cuz we were kind of all just call millenials. even the oldest of gen z remember being* called millenial and being blamed for sht 10 years before we were even sperm lol
Gen X mom to Gen Z daughter here. We are over here enjoying crystals and thrifting and all the cool things from my childhood that are now "vintage" and cool. My daughter is "softer" bc I worked hard to give her a soft life. I would love for her to have known the joy of being outside all day, wandering around with friends til the street lights come up, but alas the world is unsafe and we don't watch out for each other like we used to. Generational beefs and blaming toxic behavior on astrological signs are insane.
I come across so many signs saying "no skate boarding, no biking", some people will even call the cops on teenagers for "loitering" at parks. I hear complaints all the time. Kids can't even exist in places anymore! The defunding of education, the rise in abusive adult content, and the fact that both parents have to work in order to sustain a family all lead up to this. It is incredibly hard to raise kids these days. Parents need more time to properly parent their children. We don't always get that these days.
My mom is gen x and says to me all the time that she wishes i could've experienced the fun stuff she used to do outside but could not bring herself to trust the world enough to let us run wild 💀
Its almost like the generation before the boomers had some wonderous ways of making the neighborhoods safe that have been criminalized because the older generations that are still living viewed them as too brutal, and uncivilized. Its almost like you really shouldn't have let yourselves become prisoners within your own country.
What is it with my generation and that movie. It's not scary and it's premise makes no since. Aliens, fright night, Jason and Freddy were all far better and far scarier movies.
School shootings have been happening since the 1700s,js. There was even a case of a teacher shooting a student in the early 1900s, now that generation must have been terrified.
We have specialized school shooting drills and lost like a year of school to a pandemic. We are expected to find housing and have kids in this economy, that's way worse than a weak horror movie.
The youngest soldier from ww2 who turned 18 in 1945 would be 97 this year. They wouldn't be online and it almost feels disrespectful to not have considered that.
As a Gen Z’er, they’re the ones that gave us IPad’s, they’re the ones not letting us outside, they’re the ones being bad parents. Lots of my friends are already talking about how we’ll NEVER treat our kids the way past generations have been treated. The ironic part? We learned about what good parenting really is from the internet.
“The parents that gave you such a wonderful childhood by not being a part of it” is something I’m absolutely going to laugh with my therapist about at my next session 😂
I know, it’s the older folks that are the most entitled. They think yelling and throwing a fit for something they did to themselves or over a minor inconvenience is going to get them their way. The older ones are the most sensitive because they can’t be bothered to learn or be patient. (A generalization, but one I’ve witnessed hundreds of times in customer service). It’s usually their kids that are embarrassed of their behavior and apologizing to me for them.
I’ve taken a morbid sort of… glee… in watching both Boomers and Gen X discover they’re not immortal and their bodies don’t work the way they did when they were 25. (I’ve got chronic illness issues that have hamstrung my life.) So listening to them throw a fit about how they can’t do what they used to because they now’ve busted their foot, or knee, or back, or something and they’re forced to live the way the people they called freaks and gross (gotta love classic ableism) has made them _so angry_ they’re just throwing a fit that they’re not remotely relevant, that younger generations are treated just as much as latchkey kids but locked inside due to their paranoia, and etc. If they really were good parents they wouldn’t be proud that they learned to cook on their own and then turn around and say ‘these younger generations can’t cook to save their lives.’ Like… if your gen Z kid “can’t cook to save their life” maybe that’s because the gen x parent didn’t teach them????
I saw a creator from Gen X who made a great point. Gen X is going through their mid life crisis online. They don’t have the money to buy cars and holiday houses like the boomers. All they have is social media and they’re watching things get more and more confusing the older they get
Gen X here, it does get more and more confusing, but if you are willing to pay attention, it doesn't have to be overwhelming. So many of us see Kids These Days doing something and immediately criticize it. What we should be doing is learning from it. For example, a generation that grew up communicating by text probably knows the best ways of doing it. A text message isn't the same as a five page paper on Hamlet, and grammar rules for one wouldn't work well for the other. Be willing to let go of your own preconceptions and learn from the masters. It's not hard, and honestly? It's fun
Yeah that's kinda sad, we will all be there someday, and it's true, gen x had it pretty bad, all the boomer "work hard" nonsense, then the raise of retirement age, and now those same gen xers have to work alongside the class conscious young generations who know that stuff doesn't pay off, but the gen x ers can't get it out of their blood to operate the old ways. I get it, that how I almost waa, but I wrestled free of that mindset, and keep it on hold for contributing to mutual aid and volunteering, never at a job tho. I am gen z raised by older boomers in backward-ass small town desert 11 kids graduating 8th grade kinda small - so when I escaped to a city I caught up pretty fast but I was a self-righteous little mini- boomer myself until I got that internet connection in the city. 🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤 Sorry to ramble, but your comment was very thought provoking hope you have a great night! 🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤 Much Love!!
Gen X keeps calling Gen Z snowflakes, and it's all fun and games until we stoop to their level and call them Boomers, then they cry like Cartman when Kyle smacked him in the face in South Park.
Fr. Some guy responded to my mom with an "Ok Boomer" gif on Facebook, and she was so mad she tried to post a rant about it. And it was removed (the text) because apparently Facebook considers the word boomer as offensive language 💀
Honestly older generations get offended so easily to the point that they are the snowflakes all it takes is to show them bright collors next to each other for them to go on a rent about "woke"
Gen X-er here to tell you that when my Gen Alpha daughter told me about this TikTok trend, I did not believe what she was saying - “trying to cancel Eminem” … “scary threatening background music,” etc etc. Then she showed me the TikToks and I laughed so hard for so long. Absolute comedy gold. On a Venn diagram, the “Gen X Rise” circle is 100 percent overlaid with the “People you know from grade school who you hide from when you spot them at Target.”
yep, these were the people who were jerks when we went to school with them, they didn't get better, they just got more experienced at being annoying. we have them blocked on facebook.
Another Gen-X-er here, too. Yeah, these people are still doing the Al Bundy thing and talking about their "4 touchdowns in one game." If we ignore them, they'll melt back into the shadows and keep grumbling to themselves 🙄
I am so glad I don't have tik tok, I had no freaking idea there was a fake war between gen x and gen z, kudos for the simpsons reference and the end part had me laughing too much!!!
I'm Gen X and respect how well Gen Z is doing for themselves. You are confident, articulate, and fun. Please know that the majority of Gen X doesn't hate you. Most of us are irritated by anyone who breaks down another generation.
Lmaooo it’s literally rage bait im gen Z and I’ve personally always viewed your generation as actually quite respectable, I’mfrom the UK and associate gen X with the 2nd summer of love of 1989, the rise of drunk and bass and rave and free party culture, I know more gen X’s in my life as either family or friends parents and I respect more or less all of you, this energy that I was introduced to through you guys has been carried on in my generation, we party just like it’s the 90s, I honestly just think the ppl in these videos are saddos who have nothing better to do in like than to start superficial beef with kids that couldn’t care less if they jumped off a bridge tomorrow cus they’re just bitter that they never lived the lives they wanted to that maybe we make a bit more visible these days due to social media, I love you guys and these ppl need to seriously get a life and stop living in the delusional world that they somehow had it so much rougher than us as if they’re from some sort of world war, I mean have you seen today’s economy?? Ppl just love to constantly complain man.
As a member of Gen Y (as in 'why the heck I am even here and how does this whole life stuff even work'?) I fear so much for the younger gens, honestly. I was lucky enough to not have apathetic parents, so I have been raised enthusiastic and militant, but fast-forward a few decades and I'm forced to realize just how disillusioned, tired and cynical I have turned out. Recent years have upended a lot of my convictions and things I personally took for granted, living through the p*ndemic as a hypochondriac somewhat hurt my ability to seek out and trust others, and in doing so to be in contact with outside perspectives and differing opinions, and wanting to keep up with the news and politics often means that I see the world as little more than a series of crises in waiting I feel pretty powerless to act on. And by many accounts, Gen Z has it even worse that we did; so seeing so many young people 1) grow up in such an unstable climate, without the security and certainties we had, and 2) still manage to harbor hope, have convictions, take action, and in some cases become symbols and role models for others always fills me with awe. Now that I'm firmly an adult, I do feel like I failed those kids; sure, a lot of the parameters and structures that inhibit them were already implanted when our generation was their age, but I keep thinking we could have done more or better - that I personally should have done more, especially in recent years, and that my own inaction is part of the problem. It's kind of an old chestnut to say that kids (and young adults) are the world's hope, but I do feel that way. Gen Z has a lot to deal with and yet so many of them are thriving- and boy are we in dire need of that kind of spirit right now. Hearing and seeing some younger activists also got me thinking about becoming more involved in political and social causes again, apathy be damned, and I thank them for that. I hope I never become the type of entitled older person to blame my own shortcomings on later gens or demand respect simply for being born earlier.
Right. There isn’t one person in Gen Z that’s actually serious about cancelling him. Some people are playing into as a joke because millenials and Gen X both don’t understand when we’re joking and think everything we say is serious.
That one woman starting at 13:48 was genuinely nasty. Imagine you did such a bad job raising your own child that you're totally chill with them never speaking to you again, because you couldn't be bothered to learn how to build a good relationship with the child you *chose* to have. How disgusting. ETA: This got so many replies so quickly lol, but I agree with all of you. I also just realized she was wearing scrubs, so it adds an extra layer of ick for me that a healthcare professional would run around basically confirming to young adults/older teens that their parents don't love them and don't care, when most people who want to go NC have usually come to that decision after a childhood full of abuse. (Coming from someone who had an abusive mother I plan to go LC/NC with upon graduating.) That's so irresponsible as a HEALTHCARE professional, smh.
I was thinking the same thing😐🥲like holy shit I felt bad for whoever is her kid but I’m sure they know they are better off without her if she’s like that.
I'm pretty late but I just subscribed to you and I'm binging your videos. as a 46-year-old X I just want to say ya nailed it. I'm so ashamed of my peers being presented here.
that never happened. Every generation resents the way the older one raised them but blame the ones after them. You were probably too young to understand.
I still don't. Late 1970's so am I an X? My parents were depression kids, not boomers. I have no clue what I am supposed to be called. However, older people always think the younger generations are spoiled or degenerate. Anyone who has studied Latin in school knows that.
So you mean never? When paper was invented the older generation never shutup about how young person technology is ruining the sacred art of chalkboards
@@horsepuncher95 Yeah they said paper and books would make the next generation dumb because they won't bother to memorize anything anymore.

Dear Gen Z folks: I'm sorry your parent's age demographic is just repeating the same hateful cycles instead of breaking them. It's honestly embarrassing to see Gen Xers pulling the same nonsense with you that Boomers were trying with us Millennials.
@@PataPtichouEh, sort of. I mean, the Boomers have run rough-shod over a lot of us. And every generation has someone doing the crap stuff and the rest of us are just trying not to sink in the bog. But I guess no one drop of water is to blame for the flood. I just wish people my freaking age didn’t feel the need to be so predictable and act like every stupid generation before them, trying to suggest they’re great and the younger generations are crap. We’re kinda awful, first off. And second, how many generations do wr have to watch doing the same thing before someone says, “Oh, right, the world changes and newer generations have a different set of circumstances,” and quit comparing apples to oranges? But similar things could be said about younger generations. Every generation goes through a phase of blaming the older ones for all their problems, and every generation makes some attempt to do things another way with partial success, and every generation looks at the next one and says, “They don’t appreciate all we’ve done and all we went through!” while the new generation is looking back and saying, “You caused all these problems.” Lather, rinse, repeat.
As an Elder Millennial who's been mostly mistakenly blamed the last 25 years for EVERYTHING wrong, this is delicious cringe. Especially from the generation that's proud of being neglected for their formative years.
Right? They've spent the past decade actively bragging about being ignored in the boomer/millennial arguments and now they're pulling the same shit boomers did by doing "get off my lawn" with extra steps.
Millennials endured decades of being mocked, derided, and blamed by Boomers-who were _our_ parents. I’m starting to think this is a generational trend.
@@alexwyatt2911 yeah I stopped taking anything boomers said seriously because rewatching That 70s Show, Red was basically every boomer stereotype except Eric, Kelso and the rest of the were the actual boomers.
I can't believe they use the whole "doing whatever we wanted as children and noone cared as long as we came home eventually" as a flex. My gen X parents always want me to text them where I'm going, who I'm with and when I'll be home because they want to know I'm safe. I don't think it's making me soft or anything, it just makes me feel loved and cared for :)

No fr that video made me actually annoyed and upset cause how are you gonna say smth like that to/about you’re own kid and then actually still believe you’re a good parent 💀
I showed this to my mother (who's also Gen X) and she was furious at how horrible that woman was to talk to her (potentially fake) kids like that.
Yeah that was upsetting 🤦 I need to know my son is alive and safe ,he's grown several states away so yeah I for real care very very much so I won't upset or cross lines .
If her children see that just wow 🥴she may very well regret saying that . I'm under the impression she is assuming they won't . To assume well you know it's not wise to say things we don't mean it could definitely haunt us forever.

wild how "we went outside" are the same shitheads who raised you like "no no don't go outside don't hang out with friends outside of school don't have a social life the world is dangerous"
In high school I wasn’t allowed to go for walks outside my house because it was dangerous. So now I mostly just stay inside unless someone asks me to go out
the whole ped o thing kinda ruined a lot of letting your kids go outside. I used to roam around free as a kid. didn't go home unless it was lunch or dinner. Chris Hanson and the media kinda pounded fear into a lot of parents.
@ oh definitely, i won’t argue with that there. i just think we have a lot more tools now to keep them safe too (for example life360 is a tracking app you can connect your family with). however it did bite me in the ass because now i am tracked at 23 years old 🙃

Exactly, don't blame us for what you did.
I honestly think this is just parents that raised their kids poorly now taking out their frustration on an entire generation. Like the fact that they’re upset about something and their reaction is to imply violence is very telling.
Exactly 😂
considering boomers also raised millenials who they hate but ultimately have a lot in common with, i feel like this is a pattern. whether that's bc they see too much of themselves in the younger generation which makes criricizing them easier and more personal, or this is just redirected family drama, is hard to say

When were they like that? I just remember them as boomer lite
"We watched Gremlins when we were 5"
I watched cartel execution videos at 8, the standard of watching horror movies at a young age became DRAMATICALLY lowered with the creation of the modern internet
"We can write in cursive"
Ok, thats cool. I barely learned it in 5th grade because its becoming obsolete and less places require signatures around me at least.
"Nobody gave a fuck about us. All that mattered was that we were alive."
Yeah, thats not a good thing. I was raised like that as well, but the catch is my parents actually cared about what I was up to. I drank from the hose, I was out until the street lights were on, what's your point? Youre gatekeeping basic activities because youre bothered by the fact that you were neglected.
"We commited crimes!"
Literally everyone commits crimes, from jaywalking to theft. This isnt an exclusive thing, youve just made it your personality.
Im so glad most of Gen X acknowledges the things they went through werent good experiences and are avoiding them, and this is just the loud minority.
As a millennial I also have something to tell Gen Z.
When ironing something made of cotton, linen, or wool, mist it with water first so that it's damp. For best results, let it cool/dry on the ironing board before picking it up. Laying an unvarnished piece of wood (like a clean cutting board) on top of it helps speed up the cooling/drying process.
Also a Millennial; to Gen Xers, Adding white vinegar to your laundry loads is a good substitute for fabric softener. The vinegar scent goes away once the clothes are dry.
Thank you for this ❤
I also have some advice. Don't buy clothes that you need to follow special advice for, it will save you time and money. And bleach is only for items that are completely white, like socks, underwear, and some white towels and washcloths. Don't make the mistake my sister made who thought that bleach was always for clean towels and bleached her black towels.
Thanks, I'll remember that ^-^
This is valuable information. Thank you. I truly suck at ironing and my close are always wrinkly and I feel bad about it 😂

@@MrsDonnaE girl your comments are the epitome of cringe 💀 i'm embarrassed for you.
One time my dad (who is gen X) called my sisters and I "snowflakes", and I told him you raised us. He didn't like that point...
They really dislike being shown the mirror of reality when it prove they're the one who's stupid
Go figure-
Now go ask your dad why he raised you to be a snowflake. It is 10000% true for sure. GenX are your parents who raised you with your short attention spans, lack of a solid education, easily triggered over any little inconvenience, all of it. They went through massive life trauma so you wouldn't have to and basically their trauma is why you were never allowed to do anything in life but sit behind a computer and make virtual friends....and if you ask your dad, he will tell you all about camp, and creatures, and the insane lack of adult supervision, the teen pregnancy epidemic, the serial killers, hitch hiking, bad teachers, wildlife.....all the movies that terrorized an entire generation, all the slasher movies, the horror flicks....GenX vampires didn't sparkle and mope. They'd rip guts out in the most violent of ways. GenX kids were exploring desolate tunnel systems, abandoned houses (or not abandoned houses), drag racing in their vehicles before they got learners permits, the fake sleepovers and fck parties, the band groupies, the coke parties. All that and more is why you didn't leave the house, lol.
If you don’t mind, can you give us details? 😬
On the other side of MAGA Gen X is anti-MAGA Gen X 😉
@@madisonfry7235 he raised you as snowflakes?? That’s savage.
Gen X here. I love Gen Z. I had to leave a Gen X group because all they did was grumble about "kids these days," and without a hint of self-awareness. Embarrassing. I can't make a casserole for shit, though.
The fact gen x is bragging about not being cared for as a child is confusing and concerning. Gen z… are literally their children
With that one lady rambling about furniture, you can see it's always projecting the subjective onto the objective.
Nah 😂mine are millennials😂 also thanks for noticing us😅
No they are not ours. Se sre responsible for the millenials.
I am an elder millennial with a gen x sister. That whole notion is bullshit. If anything, we were one of the most looked after generations because the whole neighborhood was looking after everybody's kids. Not in a weird way. Not once did I ever see anybody drink from a hose. We would go to our neighbors that we knew, and they would give us cookies and something to drink like Kool-Aid.
Stating facts isn't bragging.
What confuses me about Gen X's obsession over Eminem is that he has been criticized since the beginning of his career. He was never universally loved. He's not Dolly Parton.
Right?!? Like, they were alive during the height of his career/controversies but these bizarre people are pretending like this is new
And he has been cringy his entire career. I was a child when “Without Me” came out… I thought it was stupid and tacky then too. His slim shady persona has always been the least interesting part of his career.

As a millennial librarian I do have some advice for gen z.
Please, if you ever want to save something for the future-like say you’re packing up for college and putting some childhood papers/cards/retro photos in boxes-do not use a rubber band to keep it together! I’m not sure how relevant this is anymore, but give it a decade and that rubber band essentially turns into dried pasta.
Also, a lot of grandma’s recipes were probably cut from the back of a cereal box or a soup can (there’s some really fascinating research on this!). So if you aren’t talking anymore or you never got the chance to ask, a quick google search might help you find that nostalgic taste you’re craving.
thank you 😊
Ooo thank you! Really appreciate the advice!☺️
not even a decade. two years and that rubber band WILL snap lol.

Thanks!
“Gen Z don’t know how to drive stick shift but we Gen X do”
Gen Z in Europe: awww adorable
As a Gen Zer with a Gen Xer mom, she keeps talking about how we’re so soft and can’t take anything and how her mother raised her so differently. I asked her “why didn’t you raise us like your mother did then?” And suddenly she was at a loss for words
That’s a really good comeback
As a GenXer with "Silent generation" parents? This is just "parent brain". They told us the same thing and we complained about it just like you are. You will tell your kids the same thing too unless you make the conscious effort to remember this. That is also part of "parent brain" - you forget how often your parents made things easy for you. Or they forget how rebellious they were as kids. It's like amnesia or something. But I also believe that every generation is "softer" than previous generations because of technology. Technology isn't just a smart phone, it's also the person that first used a controlled fire to cook or raised a farm animal rather than just hunting constantly. I'm sure other strengths come out though like focusing on mental wellness.
@@melissas4874 honestly makes sense what you said, and I don’t have any gripes with how my mom raised me (or with my mom at all) I just thought this was funny because it’s odd to complain that a child that you raised wasn’t raised properly. But oh well there’s worse things I guess. At least I have a great relationship with my mom
I think its sad because you know damn well when she was expecting you she told herself she was gonna do right by you she was gonna do everything her mom didn't let her do yadda yadda we hear it all the time and then now that we've reached this point I don't know she's becoming brainwashed by the white noise bullshit other people in her generation love spewing out?? It makes me really sad. My mom tells me (she was .. oof is haha a boomer 1956, and I guess I'm considered a millennial 1993) when she was growing up children were expected to be seen and not heard.
My mom sometimes throws the "your generation it's filled with snowflakes" from time to time and... I have to remind her... she raised me
"we used to watch gremlins at 5 years old" ma'am, gremlins is almost more of a comedy than a horror movie.
Edit: glad to see this is the common consensus.
Yeah like, I had pretty protective parents and I was allowed to watch Gremlins as a kid. That movie is definitely aimed at younger audiences than most horror lol
Lol. Right. I was like, Gremlins would not be my first flex. I watched Child's Play and Chainsaw Massacre at five. Why would you pull out Gremlins?
Gremlins is not horror that was one of the most funniest movies I watched especially the party scene.
It's not a real horror film correct.
Millennials and Zoomers grew up with actual snuff films on LiveLeak anyway. I've seen enough gore of actual dead bodies online that it didn't bother me in medicine besides the smell. 🤷♀️
One could argue Gremlins 2 has a trans character. So it definitely is a horror movie for republicans
I saw a comment on one of those videos with a Gen X woman proudly bragging that she won't take her Gen Z kid to therapy because her parents wouldn't have taken her.
You're lashing out about your abuse on the kids you're abusing now and you're proud of it.
LITERALLYYYYY. god how the cycle continues
yeah, it's literally doing the cycle of abuse. "my parents never took me" yeah. BE BETTER
So that's how the cycle continues huh
@@halfknight2310 yeah, she was like "lmao I never told my parents anything and they only told me when dinner would be on the table and to not talk back. She wants therapy and I cannot fathom that she's so fragile, Gen X is so much tougher lol"
@@RavenSutcliffe “so much tougher” while also bitching about it on the internet. Such a hypocrite too.
To be fair, no one in the century is the strongest generation. The real strongest generation is the generation that went through World war 2, because so many things were happening, the hell, a cost, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl and the nuke
my mama is gen x and she always says "ohh we had to suck up to the older generations and now we've got young workers demanding that they dont have to work on weekends or do overtime! so we have to suck up to them too!!!" and no matter what i say she doesnt realize the common enemy there is her bosses 😭
I mean, there are still people who will legit tell you that "young men need a war to toughen them up" and actually mean it. This is the biggest bs I've ever heard. I'm born in 1988 and dude, I cannot imagine trying to make my kids' lives tougher than it needs to be. Aren't we supposed to make the next generations' lives better than ours? Why tf even have kids then if you do it just to shit on them. Or have them shat on by someone who is your age. Just mad.
@@GrimMelvin Born in 1989. I did the war thing. Not a great time, if I'm being honest. I don't think it made me tougher.
It definitely made me more reckless in my 20s, after I got out of the Corps. I did a lot of dumb shit, fell in with the not-cool-side of the biker lifestyle and made some seriously poor choices that I'm still occasionally seeing consequences from. Ongoing therapy is helping with that kind of decision-making, and I'm way better off just as a human being now that I'm in my mid-30s and have left the lifestyle behind, but on the whole I think I probably would've been better off not...Y'know. Fighting in a war.

@@Rob-bn9ib❤
as a daughter (gen z) of a millennial mom that used to beat my ass because of my undiagnosed autism symptoms, beating doesn’t make you tough, it teaches you to cry in your pillow instead of speaking up and seeking help.
Dont beat kids guys
Sure. When you're autistic. Sorry you got your ass beat.
either that or it makes you a rageful, angry person who easily resorts to violence. we actually know exactly what hitting your kids does, and it pretty much universally results in angrier, sadder, more anxious, less socially conscious people.
Is also can teache you to bottle up all your emotions until they explode on you.
I'm so sorry, I had hoped that my generation is going to try to do better, that we all collectively wanted to do better, to not repeat our parent's mistakes. Violence against your kid is never ok - it's a sign of weakness, of inability to communicate your feelings. Is your mom in therapy, are you? Is she putting any effort to do better? Regarding abuse, there's a book that is centered around partner abuse but I think it describes motivation of abusive behaviour pretty well in other dynamics and I think it's of incredible value for any young person - especially neuro divergent folks - to take time to read it. It's available online for free - Lundy Barcroft, the title is "Why does he do that". I think understanding the reasons why people resort to abuse and violence is,in way, incredibly freeing for victims as it sort of, vindicates the fact that it's *not your fault*.
Please take care and stay strong ❤

I come across so many signs saying "no skate boarding, no biking", some people will even call the cops on teenagers for "loitering" at parks.
I hear complaints all the time. Kids can't even exist in places anymore!
The defunding of education, the rise in abusive adult content, and the fact that both parents have to work in order to sustain a family all lead up to this. It is incredibly hard to raise kids these days.
Parents need more time to properly parent their children. We don't always get that these days.

As a millennial I know gen xers are the absolute rudest people to deal with in customer service. I think they’re mad they’re getting old.
I know, it’s the older folks that are the most entitled. They think yelling and throwing a fit for something they did to themselves or over a minor inconvenience is going to get them their way. The older ones are the most sensitive because they can’t be bothered to learn or be patient. (A generalization, but one I’ve witnessed hundreds of times in customer service). It’s usually their kids that are embarrassed of their behavior and apologizing to me for them.
I swear the older boomers are worse but gen x is genuinely awful. I
I’ve taken a morbid sort of… glee… in watching both Boomers and Gen X discover they’re not immortal and their bodies don’t work the way they did when they were 25. (I’ve got chronic illness issues that have hamstrung my life.)
So listening to them throw a fit about how they can’t do what they used to because they now’ve busted their foot, or knee, or back, or something and they’re forced to live the way the people they called freaks and gross (gotta love classic ableism) has made them _so angry_ they’re just throwing a fit that they’re not remotely relevant, that younger generations are treated just as much as latchkey kids but locked inside due to their paranoia, and etc.
If they really were good parents they wouldn’t be proud that they learned to cook on their own and then turn around and say ‘these younger generations can’t cook to save their lives.’ Like… if your gen Z kid “can’t cook to save their life” maybe that’s because the gen x parent didn’t teach them????

Ooofffff
For sure.
Gen X here, it does get more and more confusing, but if you are willing to pay attention, it doesn't have to be overwhelming. So many of us see Kids These Days doing something and immediately criticize it. What we should be doing is learning from it. For example, a generation that grew up communicating by text probably knows the best ways of doing it. A text message isn't the same as a five page paper on Hamlet, and grammar rules for one wouldn't work well for the other. Be willing to let go of your own preconceptions and learn from the masters. It's not hard, and honestly? It's fun
@@RickLeMon i appreciate your attitude so much 😭💖
Yeah that's kinda sad, we will all be there someday, and it's true, gen x had it pretty bad, all the boomer "work hard" nonsense, then the raise of retirement age, and now those same gen xers have to work alongside the class conscious young generations who know that stuff doesn't pay off, but the gen x ers can't get it out of their blood to operate the old ways.

As a member of Gen Y (as in 'why the heck I am even here and how does this whole life stuff even work'?) I fear so much for the younger gens, honestly. I was lucky enough to not have apathetic parents, so I have been raised enthusiastic and militant, but fast-forward a few decades and I'm forced to realize just how disillusioned, tired and cynical I have turned out. Recent years have upended a lot of my convictions and things I personally took for granted, living through the p*ndemic as a hypochondriac somewhat hurt my ability to seek out and trust others, and in doing so to be in contact with outside perspectives and differing opinions, and wanting to keep up with the news and politics often means that I see the world as little more than a series of crises in waiting I feel pretty powerless to act on.
And by many accounts, Gen Z has it even worse that we did; so seeing so many young people 1) grow up in such an unstable climate, without the security and certainties we had, and 2) still manage to harbor hope, have convictions, take action, and in some cases become symbols and role models for others always fills me with awe. Now that I'm firmly an adult, I do feel like I failed those kids; sure, a lot of the parameters and structures that inhibit them were already implanted when our generation was their age, but I keep thinking we could have done more or better - that I personally should have done more, especially in recent years, and that my own inaction is part of the problem.
It's kind of an old chestnut to say that kids (and young adults) are the world's hope, but I do feel that way. Gen Z has a lot to deal with and yet so many of them are thriving- and boy are we in dire need of that kind of spirit right now. Hearing and seeing some younger activists also got me thinking about becoming more involved in political and social causes again, apathy be damned, and I thank them for that. I hope I never become the type of entitled older person to blame my own shortcomings on later gens or demand respect simply for being born earlier.
I love Gen Z so much, they're our only hope.

me a gen z:we are?
I know right, i actually like some of his music
most people i know grew up listening to him so hearing that we as a generation were “canceling” him was surprising to hear 😭
Apparently becoming cringe, irrelevant and falling off = cancelled.
Eminem: “Please cancel me!”
Gen X: “They’re trying to cancel him!”
Right. There isn’t one person in Gen Z that’s actually serious about cancelling him. Some people are playing into as a joke because millenials and Gen X both don’t understand when we’re joking and think everything we say is serious.
That one woman starting at 13:48 was genuinely nasty. Imagine you did such a bad job raising your own child that you're totally chill with them never speaking to you again, because you couldn't be bothered to learn how to build a good relationship with the child you *chose* to have. How disgusting.
ETA: This got so many replies so quickly lol, but I agree with all of you. I also just realized she was wearing scrubs, so it adds an extra layer of ick for me that a healthcare professional would run around basically confirming to young adults/older teens that their parents don't love them and don't care, when most people who want to go NC have usually come to that decision after a childhood full of abuse. (Coming from someone who had an abusive mother I plan to go LC/NC with upon graduating.) That's so irresponsible as a HEALTHCARE professional, smh.
And the way she blames the child aswell is crazy.
I’ve seen a lot of estranged parents and next to none of them will ever admit their own behavior might have something to do with their situation.
She’s gonna regret her little tantrum.
I was thinking the same thing😐🥲like holy shit I felt bad for whoever is her kid but I’m sure they know they are better off without her if she’s like that.
@Peloponnesia666True
I'm pretty late but I just subscribed to you and I'm binging your videos. as a 46-year-old X I just want to say ya nailed it.
I'm so ashamed of my peers being presented here.
Gen X: Gen Z is trying to cancel us!
Gen Z: We are?
Wait my fellow gen xers are trying to cancel gen z?
My email with instructions on how to cancel GenZ must have gotten lost or stuck in my spam folder.
My exact reaction 😭 and I still don’t know the reason; is it because some of us don’t fw Eminem??
@@mimsycookiiess guess so
No literally 😭 as a gen z I was confused on where this was coming from lol
I remember the good times when no one knew which "generation" they were born into and no one felt the need to bitch about who is the worst.
that never happened. Every generation resents the way the older one raised them but blame the ones after them. You were probably too young to understand.
No, for real, I miss the simple times 😅😅
I still don't. Late 1970's so am I an X? My parents were depression kids, not boomers. I have no clue what I am supposed to be called.
However, older people always think the younger generations are spoiled or degenerate. Anyone who has studied Latin in school knows that.
So you mean never? When paper was invented the older generation never shutup about how young person technology is ruining the sacred art of chalkboards
@@horsepuncher95 Yeah they said paper and books would make the next generation dumb because they won't bother to memorize anything anymore.
Even Socrates complained about the youth having "bad manners and contempt for authority. They contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants." 😂
Gen X: we know how to write cursive
Gen Z: we know it. They just stopped teaching it.
It’s not our fault everything went digital and Cursive is pretty much useless on printed out papers, digital documents and emails
@@2bdaqueen268fr all u need is your signature, what’s the point of teaching something that won’t be used in real life, a lot of non cursive can be so pretty, and people still practice calligraphy just at their own discretion. I think I rather them fill that time with something more useful.
@@Kneeollector I honestly like print because it’s more legible. The only time I use cursive is for my signature.
Right I’m 25 and tbh I know cursive and I know how to read a manual clock and I know what a beeper is like common y’all tripping 😭🤣
I learned cursive in 3 grade
Damn you really read and dragged them for absolute filth 🤣 Really enjoyed this one
“gen x gotta do what gen x is gonna do” “gen x moves in silence” “gen x dont plan we just do” thats EXACTLY the first thing ppl with NO PLANS say. just admit ur bored or depressed like the rest of us.
u say that as if bored and depressed are the only 2 options, unhealthy mindset tbh, regardless yea I agree
i mean…kurt cobain
sometimes suppressed emotions lead to aggression when you won’t accept hiw bad your trauma was.
@@Funhaus_Fr34kykw this is the perfect response
you know what else moves in silence? me when I’m trying to sneak into the kitchen to eat all the parmesean cheese while my family is blissfully ignorant
@@FizzyFeesh Me trying to make as little noise as possible at 2AM to heat up something in the microwave knowing the inevitable blaring buzz and loud beep are coming anyway.
Dear Gen Z folks: I'm sorry your parent's age demographic is just repeating the same hateful cycles instead of breaking them. It's honestly embarrassing to see Gen Xers pulling the same nonsense with you that Boomers were trying with us Millennials.
Ikr?? I can’t believe this shit, this is genuinely embarrassing to watch. A bunch of 45+ angry at a society they built themselves
So true
I love how much Gen X want to be lumped in with Millenials, but they’re just repeating Boomer behaviors.
Dumb dumbs
@@PataPtichouEh, sort of. I mean, the Boomers have run rough-shod over a lot of us. And every generation has someone doing the crap stuff and the rest of us are just trying not to sink in the bog. But I guess no one drop of water is to blame for the flood.
I just wish people my freaking age didn’t feel the need to be so predictable and act like every stupid generation before them, trying to suggest they’re great and the younger generations are crap. We’re kinda awful, first off. And second, how many generations do wr have to watch doing the same thing before someone says, “Oh, right, the world changes and newer generations have a different set of circumstances,” and quit comparing apples to oranges? But similar things could be said about younger generations.
Every generation goes through a phase of blaming the older ones for all their problems, and every generation makes some attempt to do things another way with partial success, and every generation looks at the next one and says, “They don’t appreciate all we’ve done and all we went through!” while the new generation is looking back and saying, “You caused all these problems.” Lather, rinse, repeat.
This popped out of nowhere for me😅
Gen X: "You guys are so sensitive and trying to cancel everything."
Gen Z: "Mom please stop youre embarassing me..."
Gen X: “You know when I was your age……”
Gen Z: “Oh no……. Here we go”
And then they get louder
literally was me and my mom its crazy
Genx edits are just..the first one in ur video?yeah..thats speechless at this point im just gonna go cry in a corner if i see that again
As an Elder Millennial who's been mostly mistakenly blamed the last 25 years for EVERYTHING wrong, this is delicious cringe. Especially from the generation that's proud of being neglected for their formative years.
Right? They've spent the past decade actively bragging about being ignored in the boomer/millennial arguments and now they're pulling the same shit boomers did by doing "get off my lawn" with extra steps.
Millennials endured decades of being mocked, derided, and blamed by Boomers-who were _our_ parents. I’m starting to think this is a generational trend.
@@alexwyatt2911 yeah I stopped taking anything boomers said seriously because rewatching That 70s Show, Red was basically every boomer stereotype except Eric, Kelso and the rest of the were the actual boomers.
We're not proud that we had to live through that. We're just happy to still be alive after the fact. 🤷🏼♀️
they flex the "my boomer parents didn't give a sh*t about me" to the younger generations that never gave a sh*t about them.
I can't believe they use the whole "doing whatever we wanted as children and noone cared as long as we came home eventually" as a flex. My gen X parents always want me to text them where I'm going, who I'm with and when I'll be home because they want to know I'm safe. I don't think it's making me soft or anything, it just makes me feel loved and cared for :)
Good to know your gen x parents are one of the few to not think that caring about their own children is the end of the world.
Exactly, my mom usually also asks me to send an update every few hours, if I'm like out with friends, to make sure I didn't get hit by a car or some shit : )
Yeah, it’s called love.
@@mynameisreallycool1 Not one of the few. It's how most Gen X parents are, because they know what it's like to feel neglected. Gen X just like to laugh about their trauma rather than be upset. It's funny because it's true.
Yeah the "not being cared about" is crushing, a lot of gen x wanted to fix that for our own kids. Glad yours are doing just that!
“We climbed fences we shouldn’t have” oooo i’m shivering in my boots
Ooo, Oooo, shiver me timbers!
