Why is everyone acting like a video analyzing different humor is a personal attack? We all have different tastes in humor, and we all think other people are cringe, and we think k of ourselves as cringe. Who cares? What matters is how you act based upon that. I find this humor not to my taste, and cringe. So anytime I get a video recommendation that has this type of humor, or an Instagram post, I will block the account and move on with my day. However, if I was in the comments of every video, being mean to the person making that content, or anyone who agreed with it, that’s an entirely different story. But for a lot of these comments taking it personally, when she’s just talking about it, says a lot about YOU. If any one of you haven’t ever had the thought to criticize humor you didn’t like, or havent cringed at yourself, or anything, then please, cast the first stone.
It’s bc she used the work pick me which is always used as a derogatory term
@@MNIU_ exactly shes taking shots.
The only thing I have to say is that targeting an entire generation and blowing it out of proportion is a personal attack on every millennial. Why gen z cares? Do they have nothing better to do? Honestly that baffles me, I'm so tired of this kind of content
@@ktv9247 Taking shots??? I just made a catchy title😂 do you not understand how social media works?
@@ToniBryanneTVlol girl u was 1 year old when 9/11 happened…
Don’t tell me ish, all me & mine was lit in 01.
This tech frying y’all brains.
Older Gen Z here (Born in the late 90s). From what I can tell, Gen Z mocking Millenials for being "Cringe" demonstrates a lack of self-awareness on their part. EVERY Generation is Cringe in one way or another. It's just a part of being human. We all do cringy stuff, especially in our youth. Gen Z mocked our parents Gen X for being cringe and Gen X did the same to their parents the Baby Boomers. I can guarantee whatever Generation comes after Gen Alpha is going to mock Gen Z for crap like Tik Tok Dances and this whole Stanley Cup obsession. It's just a cyclical part of life.
I'm a millennial, and I think the Stanley cup thing is way too much. It's just the life cycle to think older people are weird
Sorry, but that statement is cringe, and cometely tone deaf. Once again, you speak of Gen X without ANY FACTS!!
First of all, Gen X didn't really raise anybody. They are less than 15% of the population. Furthermore, 80% are childless!! The housing and job problems you're whining about only now were the reasons. We were too poor and traumatized to reproduce!!!
Furthermore, over half of GenX was raised by at least one Silent Generation Parent. The majority of the Millenials were actually raised by Boomers.
Gen Alpha is Stanley cup obsessed as well.
Who generalizes an ENTIRE generation😂😂😂😂
the stanely cup obsession is by the gen alpha.
"Kids these days 😒🙄" - every generation ever
There are posts, videos, and documents demonstrating that whole concept
@@PrincessOfTheWholeUniverse Definitely. I'm convinced this saying is as old as time itself
As a millenial, I found King Bach, Lilly Singh, Liza Koshy, Lele Pons especially and other popular creators that time cringy and not funny even back then. So I guess it depends more on each individual's sense of humor and not on generation
I did too. They weren't making content for us. It was for Gen Z.
I HATED that type of humor. Weirdly enough most of them emerged around the time when Vine was around which tiktok was once very similar to.
I’m 31 and never even heard of them lol
Yes! Their content is so annoying. I couldn't believe they actually had so many followers.
Excellent point. I'm a younger millennial and honestly hated their content 😅
Not the examples of pick me girls turning into a Kendall Jenner comp 🥴😭
😂😂😂she was in like every example when you search “pick me examples”
People need to leave her alone and admit that they are simple being mysogynistic.
@@o.m9514 Wouldn't say misogynistic, it's just her acting like she's not like any other girls, that's the type of pick me's
@@o.m9514 she is a downright pick me. And ur a pick me too bc u like her
My sister is a millennial and i'm a gen-z. The fun fact is we both feel our generation is hella cringe and consist of a lot of "wanna be adults".
I thought all adults were wannabe adults. 😂 Nobody knows how to adult, we are just trying.
Millennials are adults
@@dianasohn2515 talking about my gen : Gen-Z
@@dianasohn2515 And so are Gen-Z
@@budum3 not all
millennials didn’t watch liza koshy or lily singh. their content was geared towards a younger audience. in this case gen z
Still were both millennials making content.
yo facts.. I'm born in 96, so like, on the cusp of both, and my peers definitely didn't watch that shit lol
@@ToniBryanneTVThey were millennials but millennials definitely didn't like their stuff, we saw them as cringe🤣 And wasn't starstruck an older Gen Z movie? Gen Z is more like the way they like to depict millennials than they like to lead on. They are a culmination of all previous generations bad habits.
Yeah I remember people talking about how annoying that obnoxious humour was back then and it was understood millenials were doing that to appeal to kids, not their peers
Umm that is a COMPLETE lie. Millennials most def watched Liza…I’m one of them. Gen z was not a thought sorry y’all was still young af when Liza was at her prime prime & her audience is definitely millennials just like she is. Being silly is not something that automatically means they trying to attract super young kids as a audience
To me, this screams of people being too chronically online, to that point that they spend time making fun of others. THAT’s cringy to me 😭
Oh my god thank youuuu most of these “millennial cringe” videos are just people being happy😭😭 so glad you understand
Agreed!
😂❤
I think the point is that Millennials online are stuck in the past content wise and Gen Z make fun of that… Every generation before us is also stuck in the past and we made fun of them. Everyone gets a turn to be lame lol if you can’t laugh at yourself and move on then it becomes a problem.
@@Mochalolo1928I think that’s perfectly fine but I’ve noticed that a lot of these videos making fun of millennial trends aren’t coming from a fun place. It’s almost weirdly from a bullying place 💀
As a millennial, my focus is surviving this economy. If I want anything to choose me it better be money.
Ok a 35 year old here agrees with you magnanimously.
@@samonej.7335 hell yeah… 30 years old here. I don’t care who pays attention honestly. Even though I share it comes from the heart. In real life I do my best to be incognito. Wish I could live in a home unbothered 24/7 😂
Man take us back to the emo scene MySpace days. That’s the cringe I’m here for.
👆 yup
1989, here. Same. I just want the housing market to pick me. 😮💨🥴
As a Millennial, these generation wars are beyond cringe
Everyone is cringe
💯
Pretty much
My fave comment ever (a bunch of cringe emoji 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂)
I hate the generation wars 😒🥴everyone is young and cringy at some point. And gen z will later be seen as cringy by gen alpha. Its just a cycle.
And those mocking videos were really bad. They were cringe themselves lolll
Very true, waiting to become the next cringy generation as gen z ages😂
Gen Alpha are already calling Gen Z old hags lool

Sooo over the millennial bashing 😭 my generation likes to say millennials are cringey, yet constantly fantasize about the 2010’s era and culture. there is more than plenty of gen z cringe!
Literally
wait what's wrong with 2010s? not part of that side of Gen Z but tbh 2010s was kinder compared to the pandemic and after.
@@corncobbob2326 no I agree with you! I’d do anything to relive those times again. just pointing out the hypocrisy with the side of gen z that hates on millennials so much yet raves about the 2010’s. 2010’s were shaped by millennials 😭
?? we grew up in the 2010s lmao, i think most people just want to be a kid again not be a millennial
@@kataraluver that’s not the consensus from what im seeing. it’s gen z wanting to be party age in the 2010’s and I feel the same but the 2010’s was so great because of millennials, so I don’t understand why they are such haters. I could name a lot more embarrassing things gen z does than millennial “cringe”
As a millennial I didn’t watch any of these creators or gravitate to that type of humor. So it’s mind blowing how Gen Z loves to make fun of our generation and put everyone in a box when all these clips I’m like I have never watched this stuff or recreated it. My problem is Gen Z acts like what they’re doing on the internet now won’t be scrutinized by younger generations. I can’t wait to see it. lol
Same I don’t even know who these creators were lol Gen z is going to regret over sharing on the internet in my opinion. They tend to do that a lot 😅
@@elimartinez___ Exactly! It’s wild. Where is the shame?! 😂
@@VivaLaShay89 non existent 🫠
Been thinking the same thing...
alright but you guys are going to have cringe stuff from your time every generation can be made fun of and you guys are going to get criticized you can’t do anything to stop it generations are more talked about because of the internet and that’s just how things are
Millennials can’t catch a break. This generation had experienced 911, the O8’ recession, housing crisis and pandemic. All while being the first to share our experiences online. Not everyone is cringey but the storyline of everyone acting that they’re better than is really exhausting.
The thing about generation wars is that it’s a cyclical. Soon it’ll be Gen-Z’s turn 🤷🏻♀️
i mean its the truth 🤷♀️
Couldn’t had said it better myself 😂
I agree with the generations, they make no sense except another way to loop a group of people together in a wider general way. A 13 year old is not going to have the same experience in their life that a 26 year old 13 years for gen z
Damn near 30 years for millennials and then another almost 30 years or more for gen x makes no sense
Nah, because millennials have been insulted since the 90s. Some Boomers don't know the difference between millennials and Gen Z and use the word "millennial" to mean "young and stupid" not even understanding that some of us millennials are in our 40s with grandkids. We get dragged by the elders and the kids. At least Gen X was the forgotten generation. Nobody bothers them.
@themanifestorsmind Exactly. My reply to this comment didn’t get posted, but I feel the same. The older generations try to drag us, and some Gen Z people decided they wanted to join in and wonder why we are ready to buck. 😆 The generalizations are ridiculous, especially when it comes from Gen Z who I feel like picked up some of the worst millennial stereotypes and amplified them.
i feel like majority of millennials are not represented well on media because out of those who are constantly online, majority are “pick me” or “gentle” parents, however a lot of millennials who are too busy working jobs or raising kids get misrepresented since they are not online to defend themselves or they do not post content
This is a huge problem across the board. People think the loudest voices from any group on the internet represent the entire group. They often don’t.
Exactly!!!!
Absolutely!
Why do gen z want to beef with millennials so bad. Gen z entire aesthetic is from millennials. It’s literally early 2000s reinvented! Who the hell yall think created the style in the 2000s??? MILLENNIALS TF
I'm not sure, it's just fun.
We'll all be old, irrelevant, and crumpled, so why not?
@@dianasohn2515 tho the y2k fashion of today definitely isn't what y'all were wearing now is it? let's not kid ourselves here. still even if the current gen z fashion was inspired by millennials (it wasn't, most gen z'ers don't dress like that), that doesn't mean we ought to praise you and never disrespect you forever. like a huge chunk of content on social media is cringe content featuring people from all generations, why would you think you're exempt?
I’m a millennial (1991) and only have millennials or older gen z on my ig & have never seen anyone posts stuff like this 🤣
Same 😂 my thoughts very rarely
Same
As someone born in ‘96 on the cusp (makes me a Zillennial I guess?), I definitely can admit that some millennials are try hard pick-me’s, but it kinda baffles me how Gen Z calls out Millennials for being cringey & unhinged because it very much gives pot meet kettle. And this is coming from someone that was born as a tail-end Millennial but grew up more in the Gen Z era. Even though Gen Z culture is more familiar & relatable to me, one thing I noticed is that they actually lack a lot of self awareness and embodied the same, if not more, cringe with their own habits & millennial mocking lol. Plus a good chunk of gen alpha’s problematic parents are also Gen X, not just millennials 🫠
Yes!! I’m also a Zillennial (98 here) and I agree. I found the “random XD” humor so funny back in the day. But because I was in middle school when that was at it’s peak, high school was when I started seeing the shift into other humor and grew into a more gen z based humor in my late teens and early 20s. I feel like a shapeshifter or something. Whether I’m around millenials or younger gen z I can understand both so well and blend into them. Being a zillenial has its drawbacks (everyone assuming you don’t know what a CD is and treating you like you grew up with an iPad in your hands) but it also has its advantages
92 baby millennial here and I absolutely agree especially about the parents of the gen alpha in school right now. I was so confused about all of the videos putting down millennial parents because I’m like I just had my first baby and all of my friends also just had their first babies between 2020 and now and I realized the parents they’re recurring to are likely X and 80’s millennials. But that just goes to show that you can’t just put blame on a single generation when ppl are having babies at different times in their lives. I know a gen z who had her first baby at 20 or even Kylie who had her baby at what 19/20 those babies are alpha and she’s not millennial so the specific generation blame game is flawed. But all of this divide between the generations is a lot. I honestly don’t remember it being like this years ago so I wonder what’s sparked the debate.
@@Sideshowbrooke Definitely agree!! I feel like Millennials(but specifically Zilliennials) are the most adaptable generation there is. We had some sense of normalcy during our childhood but the world advanced before our very eyes when it comes to technology & social media during our teenage & young adult years. I relate to characteristics of both gens seamlessly even though sometimes I feel like both sides almost dismiss or ignore us completely. But I guess there’s strength in being a chameleon 🤷🏽♀️😅
@@Iheartyt5596 Exactly! I knew some girls a few years younger than me back in high school that were having babies. They are Gen Z and their babies would definitely be Gen alpha. I know a 45 yr old Gen X with a 13 yr old, so idk when the blame was solely pinned on Millennials when the oldest are barely past 40 and some have kids, but some don’t. I also noticed this trend of other generations blaming Millennials for pretty much everything and it’s getting weird. Especially after the pandemic 🤔
Nah girl you are millennials... Zelenials has nothing to do with birth years it's more about identification.
I’m a younger millennial (1994) and I honestly don’t remember us obsessing over the older generation like Gen Z obsesses over millennials. We didn’t care 😂
lol my gen X uncles always made fun of me for listening to Eminem
This! We were too busy living our lives and thinking about our own age group. I don't know whether Gen Z is that bored or what it is, but their obsession is becoming way too much.
Instead, y'all obsessed over younger generations, just like your parents.
It's the circle of life.
@@Eeok you’re projecting 😆
Ewww we obsess about out lives we have great stem careers and are not chronically online following adin Ross and dumb topics @@Eeok
Hating on other generations is very pick me
It’s so ironic how Gen Z thinks millennials are the most self absorbed of the generations…they literally post what are essentially diary entries on the internet like they are pieces of art and think that they are actually discussing or bringing awareness to such PROFOUND topics…all the while every other generation is watching thinking, “uhhhh that’s literally what every generation before you has said about other generations…yours is just set to a bad sound bite”. Such a lack of self awareness.
This!!!! Lol
Not all millennials are 30 yet!! 😢 I’m 94’ and I’m clinging on to 29 for dear life 😂. I love your videos! I will say that Gen z does still so skits. That’s essentially what POV’s are on tik tok. It’s just not a huge production most of the time like the skits on UA-cam were.
Same lol 94' baby. I was so offended when she said millenials are in their 30s 😅
I'm 29 I Was Also Born In 94 I'm Not 30 Yet ❤❤❤
@@arosas1994 haha yeah! I’m pretty sure millennials are until 1997. So younger millennials are late 20’s and up.
@@arosas1994no I meant the majority that were heavily on MySpace are in their 30s now lol. Later millennials were more Facebook id say.
@@ToniBryanneTV love you, but also wrong lol I was on MySpace when it was still cool.
I’m a millennial.. born in 1990. And I agree, we CAN be annoying. 😭 What generation doesn’t have its flaws? And I bet the term “pick me” is a term that was probably created by Gen Z. Just because you don’t wear makeup or like sports doesn’t mean you’re a pick me.
A person is not a pick me if they don’t wear makeup or like sports. A person is a pick me if they constantly say that to “distance” themselves from other girls for men’s approval.
@taissavallery9456 and even then it's a slippery slope. If makeup comes up in conversation and you say you don't wear makeup, then someone inevitably labels you a pick me. You haven't said anything about other women, only that you personally don't do xyz.
@taissavallery9456 clear is kind, TY. I think some women are feeling shame, because they realize they may have had insecure behaviors. Process it to guilt, learn, forgive yourself, be authentic, practice gratitude, and move on. We all got this. - Millennial 💚🩷🩵😇🥰 of course
Pick Me is an AAVE term and was a phrase long before social media and the internet in general.
@@elle.roiproductionsthank you! I’m 23 we’ve been saying this since I was in 5th grade. Not that that’s when it originated but it’s BEEN around
The conversation around Millennial media is fascinating. I'm a millennial, 34 and my daughter recently asked me why all "popular people" are mean. I was so confused and said if all popular people were mean then why would they be popular? She said,"I dont know movies and shows always show them as mean.The popular girls in my class are really smart and kind."
Then I realized that all of the media I consumed as a yound person always depicted popular people as mean, dumb jocks who were more often than not rich. I can't speak for everyone's experience, only my own, but the popular kids in my school were smart, kind, attractive(of course) and athletic. They also went on to have successful lives and so far successful families. The most important thing that we can remember and pass on to the younger generations is to be kind, kindness transcends. 😁
Cool perspective. I'm glad to know her classmates are sweet & kind. That's a good start
Mine too. I'm almost 36
I'm an older genZ the popular girls in my class were the typical mean and rich girls (BUT there was not much bullying going on which is great), they were just kind of mean spirited and in clicks. So I don't think it's a millenial thing.
yeah no most popular kids in school are very rich, privileged, and treat everyone else like the ground they walk on. good your experience wasn’t like that but your experience wasn’t normal
@@illicitveniceb Tbh I feel like it’s more normal for the popular people to just be athletes and nice. Rich people don’t rlly go to public schools, and the schools in rich neighborhoods are not the majority
As a millennial I am getting so tired of being dumped on by boomers and gen z. We are not "pick me's". We learned the first generation using social media before you. Gen z is just like the boomers "entitled ".
Just make fun of them back. Gen z…. Yall look old af.
Boomers…. 1245 is not a good password
Gen X…. I don’t know how to make fun of you because I forgot you existed
Lastly to call Millennials the ultimate pick me is insane considering the conversation of the generation after looking a lot older is because of the stress of chasing perception, fame, numbers and everything else trying to be accepted and included. Yall are bringing back things that were gone for a reason
💯💯💯💯
As a millenial...these people were always annoying lol
They were the improv kids in high school who were loud for attention and jumped from trend to trend in our early 20s. The ones who had the mustache tattoos on their fingers, shopped at Urban Outfitters exclusively, and have simply not grown out of it.
Facts
Don’t worry Gen Z, Gen Alpha will be complaining about you guys before you know it.
We know and we dont care 😭 Ive seen many Gen Z tiktoks making fun of the fact Gen Alpha will make fun of them in the future
I think its sooo funny gen z thinks what millenials post is cringe but did we all forget how tiktok started?!?! Those cringey lip syncs?? It was horrible on musical.ly and equally as horrible on tiktok
Dude we were like 12-14 of course ,,we were cringe.
Are you really going to hold that against a bunch of stupid teenagers?
Oh god. Fortnite dances! I didn’t watch TikTok for years because Gen z made me want to die of cringe
@@SkycometFallen so when you say it, it's a okay. when it's said about your generation however... all hell breaks loose? nuh-uh we get to laugh right back lady

You should check out the movie, Reality Bites, if you haven’t seen it before. They were complaining the same way about Gen X 😅
Is this millennials or is this uniquely people on tik tok who happen to be millennials? I dunno I’m just tired of the generational wars. Tik tok just sort of attracts a certain type of person
TikTok is just cringe in general
I think it's healthy to call out some bad behaviors that are quite common in certain generations. Like the way some millennials are raising their kids, the obsessions of some of the GenZ with aging, and all the awful things Gen Alpha is already learning because they are chronically online. I personally try to absorb the criticism and be better and of course, laugh at myself and my own generation. But I think some people get a little too offended and take this criticism too much into their hearts. I think it's completely fair and funny when the younger generations make fun of us for being cringe and not liking our humor. Young people always do that, and we did/do this to boomers. I just think sometimes the criticism of older generations can get a little unfair. There was a time (in the late 00s) when boomers were accusing Millenials of wasting too much money on Starbucks and avocado toast and according to them that's the reason we can afford to have a house and a car. That's just stupid and obviously completely untrue.
Hi there! I'm a Black millennial. I think we need to be really specific about what we're talking about when discussing generations. I lot of the time the decades are told through a white lens, leaving out the experiences of different ethnic groups.... because this is not my experience as a Black millennial. I feel that this video is discussing a specific white, chronically online millennial. The comedy that we grew up on was a lot of sketch comedy (In Living Color, SNL, Mad TV, All That, Amanda Show, and Chappelle Show), but idk what that has to do with being a pick me. A lot of the media you featured was mostly white people . Is Liza Koshy even a millennial?? She was born in 96, and I don't listen to Taylor Swift nor have I seen most of those shows/movies. We watched Fresh Prince, Martin, Moesha, One on One, ATL, Bring it On ... I mean its too much to even mention lol. We listened to 90s/00s R&B and Rap (TLC, Trina, Ashanti to name a few). Also how can you not mention Beyonce???? She makes the ultimate pick me music lol.
Last thing.... that pick me trope has been a trope for decades. Its not just a millennial thing. It is something that movies from 90s/00s repeated from earlier movies. I mean... it was Boomers and Gen X telling us to get married and stuff. I feel like Millennials and Xennials were the ones that championed a lot of independence but I could be wrong 🤷🏾♀
Hey, yes I can see A few of your points. However, in terms of comedy, I was speaking on content creation and social media skits. Most of the stars back then, and even now were white hence why I put mostly white people on there when I was explaining the type of comedy.
I agree. I wasn't making or consuming any of this content. I was also a full on adult on myspace. I was born in '85 This felt like this was more about Millennials that our 35 and under.
Exactly💯 Great points!!
to be very clear I live in a Pacific country on the other side of the planet and have like no melanin but I also grew up with those same shows. ya'll turn global experiences into some specific black US culture thing when you exported it EVERYWHERE lol. its not our fault your chronically online white neighbours had different experiences but overall the rest of the world had your experience. Perspective
Omg I was going to say the same!!! I think there’s a big difference between black and white millennials because all the examples on here were very cringy and not my experience as a millennial
The younger generation always thinks the older ones are cringe... it's just inevitable.
I'm a millennial, and I thought the actual millennials were cringe.
RIGHT. Like...can we make this individual and not generational ...cause folk are annoying cross age....baby boomers, millienials ...gen zers, xers..... Let's be honest here....😂
Yep. The generational pick mes my age (GenX) run around belittling older folks for pointing out our differences, basically telling young people to not care what older people think. But they failed to ever include the fact that while elders say this every generation, you will grow up to be the older people one day, and by evolution, the human development stage of middle age hits almost everyone. It's our job to be cranky. Youth's job is to push boundaries. Elder job is to use hindsight to nudge the babies back inside those lines too close to cliffs. Elders have been usurped from that job and now all the loose lambs are falling off cliffs, eaten by wolves, joining wild dog packs, forgetting how to be lambs and sheep.
I tried telling M's 10yrs ago the next group will not like them, but they didnt want to hear it. I tried telling them theyll be the bad guys one day, didnt want to hear it.
I feel like Millennials had respect for Gen X.
@@pisceanbeauty2503 Not really. They were just too wrapped up in their hate for the BBs to notice X.
@@C.Church nah I agree
So from a millennials perspective I think we could seem self absorbed by previous generations because we are the first generation that has decided to live life as we want (not having families early, not going in to forced career paths, etc.). Also, millennials didn’t invent the selfie, this photo style has been seen as early as the 1800s. Some of the content shown in the video I think could be considered cringe but it also was a very specific demographic of millennial who consumed and made this content, not all and arguably not even the majority. I find the subject of pickme interesting bc 1. Is Kendall Jenner a millennial (since she was in a lot of the reference)? and 2. We didn’t consume just content like mean girls there was also the era of the independent woman especially through music I.e. Webbie’s “Independent”, Neyo’s “miss independent”, Drake’s “Fancy”, Destiny’s Child “independent woman” to name just a few. Growing up with Trina was the opposite of pick me 😂
Millennials definitely popularized and made the term “selfie” a thing. That was not happening in the 1800s. Yess I’m sure there was one taken prior, but it wasn’t coined “selfie”
@@ToniBryanneTV We might have made the term to describe the action, but the act of taking pictures of oneself has always existed especially at the dawn of new inventions. When Millennials became of age, the first camera phone was invented which is why Millennials took interest in capturing themselves. This was similar to when the camera was popularized in the 1800s. People started taking pictures of themselves more and more because it was a novelty.
Yup, there's a demographic of kids prior to millennials that were doing selfie pics with disposable cameras and there was the polaroid that made on the spot self photos extremely popular. Time magazine has a pretty iconic cover showing a bunch of GenX kids holding camcorders as that generation was heavily criticized for being self absorbed because teens were making video selfies and recording everything (despite people in general just getting excited and popularizing new technology regardless of the generation).
@@ToniBryanneTV so does the act of taking a photo of oneself or the term of taking a photo of oneself make a whole generation self absorbed? Like are millennials self absorbed because they coined the term “selfie” or because they took pictures of themselves (like people had been doing as early as the 1800s)?
You're right. My mom has an old military photo of my grandfather taking a bathroom selfie with his Polaroid camera back in the 50s. 😂
Lol, doesn’t gen Z do the exact same thing? Only difference is that they’re doing it in a more “updated” fashion. I also find it weird how these people are so obsessed with how people (not that much) older than them are navigating internet spaces. As a teen, I wasn’t out here paying attention to how 80s babies were living their lives.
Thank you ☺️ they are acting like Millennials are old. This video is honestly giving obsession behavior that the older generations usually does to Millennials. This video makes no sense at all.
As a gen z I don't get why we make fun of millenials as if gen alpha won't be calling us cringe in like a decade or so
this right here. i genuinely never gave gen x a thought as a teen or even as an adult
Who cares?
Just because you weren't the one obsessing and making fun of older people doesn't mean there weren't people your age doing the same.
IT HAPPENS.

hmm I'm not sure a simp and a pick-me are compable.. it seems a pick-me brings other girls down to make themselves marketable to men - a simp brings himself down to make himself marketable to women 😬
According to dictionary.com, it’s the same
A simp is a man who actually likes women for real, and other men hate him for not being a incel.
As a millennial, I’ve never followed these people, and have never acted like this or seen anyone act like that. Yall are just chronically online and bored.
Did you ever see the “Facebook mom” minion memes? Or that “Boomer Humor” where it talks about how they would post statuses saying “I do NOT give Facebook permission to share my photos!!!!!!!”
So if a “pick-me” is someone who has to tear another group of people down in order to uplift another…….. 😂
yes 👏 thats it!! a girl who puts down other girls to seem different and more desirable TO MEN !! Pick me’s REVOLVE around men and their opinions. 😭
💯
Are you insinuating that’s what I did in this video? Lol
@@ToniBryanneTV yes, she's screaming it from the roof tops
@@denarys8940 however I never put down any group silly lol
The generation wars display so much division and negative opinions about each other. I am a black millennial who loves and dislikes certain parts of my generation. I truly think parts of Gen Z’s generation is problematic as well but I also admire other parts. To me understanding and unity amongst each generation always wins.
I think Gen Z's tik tok dances are cringy, but it's their thing
& their POV’s/weird acting scenarios. But the dances are def #1 for me lol
As a millennial. (I guess I’m kinda on the cusp or whatever cos I was born in June 1996). I just find it SO INTERESTING how we used to talk about the older generations and now yall are talking about us. It’ll be your turn VERY soon. Don’t worry.
Every generation speaks about one another both older and younger. It’s a right of passage lol
@@ToniBryanneTVboomer mentality girl....
Nah your a young millennial in fact your pushing gen z lol
Girl it’s factual. Look at history😂
Nah, I don't remember us talking all the time about Gen X or Boomers. We were too invested in living our lives and focused on our age group. Even the Boomer hate started during the pandemic and the term "Okay, Boomer" was coined by TikTok Gen Zers.
This must be about yt millennials or something cause I can't relate, AT ALL!!!
I think this is a chronic online Americans thing, I'm from Brazil and lived abroad, and don't know anyone who behaves like this (not even content creators).
Very much an American/ western issue.
Why do foreigners like to get in Americans lane all the damn time? Yeah you guys are no better just because you come from a country that doesn't speak english as the first language.... People everywhere have issues. It's annoying when you all do this for real....
Same, I'm from Europe and people don't really behave like that here idk
It's not even a western issue, it's just a chronically online issue.
I'm an American and this shit is not on my side of the internet either 😂
The internet has greatly increased the practice of narcissism and worst yet, rewards the practice with praise and cash.
Ok, but can we all agree vine is still iconic? I'm gen z and I literally memorised every single iconic vine
"Look at all those chickens!" still lives in my head rent free
Millennials are aging more gracefully than GenZ because we don’t take ourselves too seriously and we know how to have a good time it is what it is😅
Thank yooou!! This video is taking millennial humor way too seriously 🤣
Let’s be honest. We don’t actually know why this is happening. But hey I’m not complaining
I appreciate your unbiased take and content regarding the different generation groups. It’s fair to say behavioral traits of certain individuals in each generation can unfortunately overshadow the rest who are just living and minding their business 😂
I can’t wait for gen z to get it from gen alpha.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
People don‘t realize that these terms (Millenial, Genz-Z etc.) were made up by econimists in order to study consumer tendencies. The real cringe thing is to base oneselfves identity on consumerist blindness. And yes, companies know how to appeal to you regargless 😂
I don’t think it’s actually possible to define an entire generation based off of teen movies and content creators. All generations are way more nuanced than that. That said, Gen Alpha is gonna destroy Gen Z with their safe spaces, neo-pronouns, SJW bandwagon culture, historical revisionism, antisemitism, dance tiktoks, Stanley cups, septum piercings, and horrible rap music.
"Gen Zers are making fun of millenials and heres how Millenials are pick me's"
"Dont come for me Im just a messenger"
-_______________________________________________________________________________-
She is just saying the reasons why it has become a trend not that they actually are.
I think something that doesn’t get discussed a lot about the early 2000’s is how women who weren’t traditionally feminine or didn’t have feminine interests were ostracized in many ways and made to feel like outcasts.
I think this whole pick me thing started because they wanted to feel ok with themselves and that they didn’t have to be like everyone else in order to be valid, but unfortunately it turned into them putting other girls down in order to feel superior because they were insecure about themselves.
It’s kind of like the bullied becoming the bully situation.
I mean, feminine girls got bullied too. femininity is seen as weak.
@@jostockton. Not really
I love being a Millennial
We survived boomers and Y2K and No Child Left Behind
Idc 😂
👏🏾💯💯😂
😂😂 AND the Great Recession
‘91 here. Idk who any of these people are aside from the vine clips 😂😂. But every generation has their cringe bs. Current cringe is the “mob wives aesthetic” 🤷🏽♀️
My mom is a millennial but she is nothing like this and I think it’s the area they grew up in is what matters a lot most of the time
All the Gen Zers look the same age as millennials, even you look 35 or 36. I just find most content creators a little cringe no matter the age but let’s face it, if you aren’t little cringe to someone you are probably really boring.
This is so true… I am 32 and shocked by how old some of them look.. which is weird for a really age obsessed generation.
OMG A lot of Gen Zs that I interact with especially at work could pass as my fellow 30-something cohorts. Why is that? Is it the notion that they wanna grow up so fast or just faced with hard times?
I won’t lie, I’ve followed a few content creators I thought were in their 30’s and then I find out they are like 24. I be like 🤔😐
I look 35 or 36? Lmaoooo I have NEVER received that😭 I get told I look 16 or 18 every damn day. Stop being a hater it’s embarrassing
@@pisceanbeauty2503 Yeah, these young folks do look older...but I always clock their age when they start talking.
I’ve seen a lot of videos about cringe millennials and now I don’t even bat an eye bc 9/10 the examples are not POC lol
☕️😌
YEP
I was thinking this LMFAOOOOOOO
Same, sis lol.
Because they know we are not the cringy millennials😂
Gen Z should try harder...to get their own personalities lol. I have yet to see a genz go viral for something super original..no sound bites(probably from a millenial), mass aesthetics, remixing and watering down an already popular dance. Maybe I'm wrong but I haven't seen it
Lolllll what 😂
I dont get the term. Like sometimes people are called pick mes when just saying theyre a "tomboy". Youre describing yourself. Seems like bullying. So its not okay to say you dont want to wear lots of makeup? Its not okay to say that you enjoy doing certain activities that arent gender conforming? Sounds sus to me. The same people judging pick mes are the same ones judging others for not accepting things outside the social norm. Make it make sense...bc it doesnt.
Literally not being perceived as a pick me is the new pick me
Ive never in my life seen a generation more pressed, more bothered, or more obsessed with another generation than Gen Z with Millenials.
You hit on the nose!! these kids are the most obsessed want to be know it alls, over emotional ,old looking headaches I've ever encountered 😂 not to mention un original
So what if I actually do like watching basketball and eating steak with my friends? Does that automatically make me a pick me? If so, oh well. I would rather be that than someone sitting online and making up new terms to attempt bullying people because when you boil all of this down, that’s all it is.
Next video title: Gen Z’s obsession with Millennials | hater behavior, looking old
excellent
And also Gen Z ageism. They think life is over at 25
There’s animosity on both ends. You literally just proved it by your mock title lol. No generation is better than the other. We’re all blessed to be alive and well. It’s okay lol, just a little commentary video on a trend happening right now.
@@ToniBryanneTV my title wasn't towards your actual commentary, it's more towards Gen Z not being able to take the heat they put out, the hypocrisy in turning around and consuming Millennial fashion and media, and how it's coming full circle with both millennials and gen alpha making fun of Gen Z as well, another trend happening right now lol.
@@ToniBryanneTV you defined Gen z incorrectly by the way, it's 1997-2012.
The Kendall Jenner videos are CRACKING ME UP.
I am a millennial. I have a three your old. I don’t do tik tok. My daughter is well behaved in public settings. So it’s not always true about the pick me shit. I don’t vlog my life. So I agree with u a lot of people in my generation try to keep up and it sometimes comes off cringey. It’s definitely not all and I feel like gen z gonna feel the wrath when they get older too. Tik tok is trash
All generations are cringy, millenials arent any worst than Gen Z. In my opinion the genz age range is worst in a lot of ways, the self righteousness , the way people act on social media, constant judging, etc. so I find it ironic for a gen z to say millenials are self righteous, cringe etc etc since this generation is even more over the top than the past one in a lot of ways, Gen Z is always criticizing something as if we're the smarter , funnier , more self aware group. I think there's a pattern of every group saying the previous was "the worst". Young adults always talk about the past generations before them, even if it's not true. Just like the older generation talk about how different the younger one's are. Nothing new.
I think Gen Z was very privileged where they grew up in a time where there wasn't as much of an expectation to "be like other girls". Whereas many Millennials actually grew up before the dawn of the internet age where there weren't online communities to run to where you could be yourself. It's a sign of progress and privilege that Gen Z can look back at old movies portraying Millennials and be like "what?". Gen Z has never had to worry about fitting the mold the way previous generations have had to. Whereas Gen Z might find it easier to make other girl friends that play video games like they do and watch anime, when Millennials were growing up you were considered a lame or a loser and other girls would bully you for it. This is why you see the "not like other girls" tropes. Some of it was exaggerated in the movies, but some of it many Millennials related to because if you weren't like everyone else, you were ostracized. Even your own family would make fun of you. At least this was my experience in school. This especially happened if you were black in a school with other black girls whose interests was by and large definitely not video games and anime back then. Gen Z also had the hang loose parents (Gen X) and gentle parenting that allowed them to express themselves in ways boomer parents would have NEVER allowed for Millennials.
I find this to be incredibly false. Gen Z and Gen Alpha are literally living in the time where social media is everything. Everything is curated, everything is filtered, and everyone has to live up to society pressures. Every generation has its issues but let’s not minimize one’s experience in order to highlight another.
@@ToniBryanneTV I'm specifically talking about the narrowness of one's social world pre-internet and why that led to the "pick me" or "not like other girls". You'd only have to look back in time to see how women were treated in comparison to today pre Me too and pre 2010s feminism. Never did I say that Gen Z doesn't have issues. Sure, the internet gives Gen Z it's own share of issues. Even Millennials are subject to that because we also live in the digital age now. Let's not get that twisted. But one thing that the internet has done is 1. Given younger generations a platform to speak about issues where those things would have been more gatekept by men in power of the media when we were younger. 2. Given them opportunities to find communities from all around the world and gather a following to rally behind ideas 3. Allows you to access information that many in the past would have had to seek out more formally or be taught it in school if possible.
Every generation that follows usually does have SOME more privileges than the last due to advancement. It doesn't mean it won't have it's own share of issues. Both can be true. As we get older, we start to see where we were privileged and how others have actually paved the way for many to be able to do the things they could do. There are many that had to bend over backwards in our day to get on tv just to speak a little about feminism compared to the opportunity to have the platform you have now. We had to do a lot more sucking up. And plenty were ready to exploit our desperate need to speak as well. Whereas you can be more independent in making content and there are plenty of places and options to express your opinion online.
We get berated for being "pick me" but if you lived in a day and age where youtube or social media did not exist and your opinions about things could only be through a network company of men in power with a lot more censorship than you will ever see online today of women, poc, and LGBTQ+ people, you would have no choice but to try to please white men just to get ahead or survive and our parents encouraged that exploitation. Harsh parenting was not considered abuse of power. Even to get a job, there was no "working from home" internet jobs that paid enough to get by. And they would OPENLY discriminate against women for certain jobs. I'll never forget a hiring ad said "men preferred" for a kitchen job. Even acting jobs used to openly say "white preferred". There wasn't this greater understanding that diversity of thoughts and ideas are important. It wasn't in the consciousness. If Black Panther came out in the 90s and 2000s the majority of the cast would have been white with one female love interest that is played by a white woman. Gen Z by and large will not have to experience that same level of discrimination. It is what it is. Gen Z likes to make fun of us, but a lot of them are not understanding why these things existed in the first place because they are not experiencing what we experienced (which is actually a good sign that some progress has been made). If you can look back at former generations and wonder why they act the way they do, that is usually a sign that you no longer have to.
@@ToniBryanneTV Hear them out - Growing up in the late 90's / early 00's exposed a lot of us girlies to a lot of weird systemic misogyny that just isn't around anymore. Being feminine was a bad thing. Liking pink and dresses and pop music and makeup was mocked. We were subtly taught to seek out approval of boys, and that girls were competition. We didn't know about gender as a spectrum and feminism was a dirty word (I was embarrassed to identify as a feminist until I was like 22). The world sucks so much now, in so many ways, but when we're laughing at millennials, especially feminine millennials for being "pick-me's", understand that it's coming from a place of embedded insecurity and de-valuing our own gender. Young folks today are fortunate in a way for having more exposure to feminism, gender equity and freedom of expression / identity. It's still a work in progress, but miles ahead of what it was just a couple of decades ago
Privileged, girl I WISH.
@@Amy-kv2zw
That's not what being privileged is,
In fact I'd say that it still happens.
I'm confused. How is a woman being who she truly is being a pick-me? I understand how it would be pick-me behavior if the woman changes who she is to get approval from men, but I don't think that just naturally being that way is.
I think she means that a pick-me is someone that intends to put other girls down to make herself appear more “authentic” or “unique”, therefore more favorable to men by comparing herself to other women either directly or indirectly
@@rockyroad179 Yes, but some of the examples weren't that.
@@smlorrinlike which ones?
@@userr0319the cupcake example had nothing to do with other women, nor did the haul. I truly don’t get the hate
I feel like the internet has bastardized “pick me” like they do with every single thing ie narcissist, autistic, etc.
but so many people literally don’t read and are chronically online so
Millennials are not the most “self absorbed” generation. That title goes to our parents the boomers, who had life much more easy than their parents in the silent generation of the Great Depression. They pushed consumerism and excess wealth to the extreme at the expense of their own children and grandchildren. Most millennials didn’t start having children until late 20’s early 30’s because we can’t afford them. And as far as gen alpha not being able to read, again not us. The American education system changed from phonics to sight words aka memorization PRIOR to the gen alpha existing. I know this as I was looked at as crazy when my daughter started kindergarten this year and I said I don’t do sight words at home. They said she didn’t know enough sight words to be placed 😢in 1st grade as I homeschooled her for a year because of a late birthday. Now fast forward to quarter 3 of the school year and she is ABOVE grade level in reading BECAUSE I do phonics and breaking down words instead of memorizing words or looking at pictures to guess the words. Gen Z needs to pump the breaks on Millennials cause they have a good 3 years before the Alpha’s start calling them cringe as the eldest Zer’s start to hit 30 and become “old”.
It's like damn if we do, damned if we Dont. We get it bad from the older generation calling us lazy, say we ruined the foundation of marriage while the generation under us is blaming us for media and more that older people create. People fell to realize its a older generation that still control media, music and what goes viral not millennials. But hey everybody gotta find somebody to make fun of to make themselves feel better. A lot of the young Gen talking crap about parenting but call law enforcement when you even raise your voice a lil. I can really go deep into this and would love to have the discussion
As a millenial and high school art teacher, I can say media and film makers who market their stuff towards teens don't realize the responsibility they play in shaping cultures and how kids choose to socialize. I even find myself sometimes looking back at movies I used to watch and using those as a blue print for how high school and school should be. I would love to see more nuance in characters instead of jock, artist, bully stereotypes. Absolutely not a pick me, just teenagers are already trying so hard to figure out where they fit in and now we are creating all these extra rules of how to be and not to be. And don't even get me started on the most toxic thing I hear highschoolers/gen alfa say: "nobody likes a snitch." I am THAT teacher who pauses class and will get on my high horse and talk about how snitching about something could possibly change somebodies life for the better and is not always a negative thing. (We literally have an anonymous speak up app too, like c'mon) Also the kids are just as cringy as my the "rawr" generation! They have their moments!
I think one Netflix show Ive seen recently that deviates from the typical high school character tropes/social hierarchy is Ginny & Georgia. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't watched!
Damn, I guess the kids still aren’t going outside. Gen z clearly spent too much time online. I had to skip through some of those GenZ videos because they were really annoying.
If millennials are so cringe why is Gen Z copying everything we do Gen Z is the most unoriginal group ever
The term is thrown around so much now, that you can't even express an opinion or interest publically that varies from what's conventional, traditional or considered a gender trait for your own biological sex or gender without being attacked and usually it's by other women. Some of the examples shown, even support my point. Simply stating your interest or considering yourself "nerdy" or "geeky", is not putting down other women or females in order to obtain attention from males (as stating in the definition). It's literally just expressing your interests and a lot of the time, how it is different from other people's lives, expectations or how people would perceive you due to your career path or family and nothing more. I see people getting attacked that don't deserve it at all, all because they have stated publically on their platform that they like comics or playing sports and they are finding it hard to form connections (which I completely understand). If someone is truly bringing women down to try and lift themselves up in order to solely gain attention from men, then sure, call their bullshit out but people (especially women) need to stop attacking women just for sharing their interests, because that is incredible couter-productive and really, makes them no better than an actual "pick me".
Agree!
Gen Z are criticizing millenial women for being pick me's and NLOGs, while they themselves are doing a much more horrible thing - reinforcing gender stereotypes. I mean, Jen Z literally gave us the tradwife trend and the redpiller craze.
Is there anything more pick me than Gen z folks making fun of Millennials? Like think about it? It gives: “we are young, y’all are old, look at us, we are young!” Am I missing something?? 👀😅 Plus, Millennials never really came for Gen x, I’m not sure why Z is going this hard on Gen y (millennials) unless…they were pickmes. Right?
Well we didn’t come for Gen x because let’s be honest… the entire world forgot they existed 😂
This Millennial vs Gen Z debacle or trying to figure out which one is cringier is getting old. Plot twist: all internet humor is cringe.
Oh no. Yall being exactly like them though but worse! GenX here with no big love for the M's so please dont take this as me being personally offennded. But a pick-me is a girl who promotes herself at the expense of women for male approval. But where is the male element in most of these examples? What yall doing is just bashing on quirky girls who are just doing their thing, and by your own rules you're PM to say all this as "We aren't like them!" This is exactly my problem with the Ms and Zs, claiming you know better but repeating the same things you claim to be different from.
A girl just talking about her quirks is just that, it isn't PM. Bashing her for it is meangirl misogyny. Do guys treat each other like this? No.
Just some observations: I'm an (elder) millennial professor who started out teaching younger millennials and now teaching the current Zoomers - mostly computer science/AI subjects. I also see a lot of Gen Z bullying their professors (both IRL and Online) due to a sense of entitlement that I have seen quite a lot in Boomers.
My point is I've been watching the evolution of how different phases of the generation have interacted with social media and technology in general. Millennials created the social media that Gen Z have capitalised on in ways we were not empowered to do at the time. When facebook started, it was only available to certain universities, so our interactions were largely constrained to our friend groups. Before facebook, we just had myspace and early internet meme videos. It was kind of more of a chill time in many ways because the pressure to post our entire lives wasn't there. Because we didn't grow up with tech in the same way gen Z - it's hard to understand what Gen Z feels in terms of the pressure they feel when they're online. Millennials as a generation "coming of age online" took on more a cynical, self deprecating humour that Gen Z seem to find cringe and offensive, whereas alot of elder Millennials find the current obsession with online image that Zoomers have very disturbing and concerning. I read somewhere that millennials had to "climb through myspace and facebook so that Gen Z could thrive on Tik Tok." Who knows what Alpha will bring! This is ultimately the result of late stage capitalism rotting our minds and causing these battles. I just wish that my Gen Z students would understand that millennials are not trying to be "pick mes" we're just trying to survive basically everything we have gone through since 9/11 (**see financial crisis etc). Most of us are debt ridden and burned out from interacting with neoliberal societies under the guise of "freedom". Have a good day!
Why I love growing up as a millennial: We didn’t have to segregate and label everything. Anyone can find the right content to make a point about a similar group. I think my generation has a better understanding of not speaking in generalities.
Also, if those outliers in my generation are like THIS now, imagine the ones coming from the Gen Z generation 🫠
This is interesting I’m not really on TikTok(it doesn’t hold my attention probably bc I’m a millennial) and it’s crazy how much I miss I never knew the hate for us was this real from both sides
I was telling my mom a few weeks ago that technology and trends are so fast paced now compared to the 1900’s that even a 5 year age difference can really impact how you relate to someone. Trends were consistent by the decade before (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s). Now how people speak, dress, etc. is A LOT different in 2010 vs 2019. We’re not even listening to the same music artists now that we were in 2020 (aside from the big mainstream artists like Drake).
30 y/o millennial here. I’m just fascinated to realize that I’m living in an era where there is now an established history of social media. I guess now it might be called social media “lore”?
Anyway, it’s very bizarre to realize as well how I’d completely forgotten about things like Fred and how SO MANY movies were about pick me girls 😭🤣 it’s terrible cuz I used to find movies from my childhood so wholesome but now… now it’s kinda ruined 🥹
I used to take my glasses off in school cuz we were always told that they were ugly and made you look nerdy
as an early millennial that shit was cringe to me back then anyway. It was such a preppy middle class white suburban vibe and I was surrounded by it.
I was the fringe goth kid though so whatever, we had our own bag.
All generations are cringe and it's a beautiful thing that we can all share
As a millennial the channels I watched were Smosh (when it was only Anthony & Ian), Ryan Higa (Nigahiga), Fail Blog, Ray William Johnson (of equals 3), Michelle Phan, Marlena (Makeup Geek)…& that’s all I can remember at the moment.
Ok but every old video you showed, idk if it’s just nostalgia but you had me DOUBLED OVER… the new millennial tik toks will never hit like the vines did😭
Im 35 and never watched any of that foolishness 🤣🤣 was never on vine soooo none of this resonates with me.
I am a millennial …. This is really sad… not all of us are like this. The millennials being talked about are the ones whom are stuck in their second childhood.. their adult transition didn’t go to well and it shows 👀
Very late Gen X here almost millennial, humor has changed over the centuries, it used to be okay to make fun of race, sexuality, women, child abuse... but millennials became aware and that mess was no longer funny. Gen z came along and they have comedic shorts that I sometimes don't understand, but it works for them.
Happy Thursday, hope y’all have a blessed day. 💗
You too!! Happy Thursday💕
Millennials and Gen Z are both pretty cringe, social media & content creation in general can oftentimes be very cringe, regardless of the generational humor… as far as being pick me’s, both display this mentality and I think it’s largely due to socialization and what we see in television, film, and media, much of it has to do with our capitalist society and fostering a competitive climate that divides people more so than it unites them. Millennials had Vine, Gen Z has TikTok which is also mega cringe, so the cycle continues. We usually see older generations hating on younger generations, but why do we see a reversal between Millennials and Gen Z? Millennials have plenty of ammo when it comes to mocking Gen Z, but don’t seem interested in perpetuating the hate, makes me wonder why Gen Z is so hateful when they are every bit as cringe lol. Idk just my observation…
Thank you! I'm a little hurt. We really took Gen Z under our wing and they turned on us. 😆 Not this creator specifically, but I see the trend. I really don't think they could handle the heat millennials get from majority of the other generations. I can't stand generation wars.
@@rhearoo3081 me either! And I feel you, we were the OG Internet pioneers so everything they do is based off of us and our generation, even their idols, their fashion, and content are based off Millennials but hey imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so I don’t think they hate us as much as they want us to believe. We were the last generation to experience life without social media and the impacts of the Internet, and the first to experience it… maybe they’re just jealous of that lol, that’s one thing I’ve always loved about being a Millennial. Can’t imagine how shitty it is to be Gen Z and not know what life was like before social media took over everything.
@@Ninjaagentxx exactly they dislike Millenials but have hijacked our social media culture,,,they also forget that all apps and cool tech they like to use is made by millenials apps like Instagram,tiktok, Facebook, UA-cam,chatgpt, midjourney,Google etc also game development and games ,and UA-camr/ influencer is millenial culture ,,genz are chronically online and do nothing with their lives but just attack millenials it's frustrating ,thank god I am a whole scientist and work hard in my career and focus on it and my life is okay genz people think they will be young forever they are so annoying ugh
Idk why Gen z hates us so much tbh. But all the generations hate us so…. We might be just as cringe as everyone says.
That said. I am getting sick of being mocked by Gen z and am planning to go after them hard. 2 can play this game. Remember TikTok dances and their obsession with plastic surgery 😂
@@SkycometFallen personally I feel like there are cringe things about each generation.... Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, Gen Alpha... they all have weird little quirks that can be irritating or annoying at times but I try to focus on what we have in common and what shared interests there are. Lol can't say that I blame you for wanting to go after Gen Z hard, that shouldn't be too difficult with all the ammo they give us hahahah. 🤣😈
And Gen Z is so jaded and simple minded yet havent been through anything to warrant that attitude. Millennials remember a time when interactions were actually wholesome & everything wasnt recorded.
We read books.
We played outside and touched grass regularly.
Thats the difference.
Gen Z did as well. Remember each generation is a 15 year time span lol. Gen Z is around 1996-2010
@@sbostic08 it ranges boo. Some people say 2010 and some say 2012 which I said in a separate video lol
Gen Z is 1997-2012. Not 1996-2010.
@ToniBryanneTV Agreed. I'm on the older side of Gen Z and a lot of people don't realize that the first smartphone came out in 2007 and later on the iPad and so on. Most were born before most social media even started. A lot of Gen Z was most definitely outside and grew up without social media and smart devices for their early years. Let's critically think here
They literally gyave no inventions of their own they hijacked our UA-camr/social media culture none of them have any inventions in our generation mark Zuckerberg created Facebook at 21 ,Snapchat founder created his company at 21 what have this people created to have such a bitter attitude towards us??
Gen Z is the most critical generation. Criticism screams low self-esteem. It’s funny how the criticism coming from them sounds like “pick-me” rhetoric. “We’re not like the others”, “everyone likes the same things but I like different things”, etc., the pot calling the kettle black 😂
I deserve a check for watching through the "actual millennials" segment, I'll be waiting girl. xoxo
As a Millennial, I still can’t dress in girlie fashion without feeling out of my place because of the aesthetic is betrayed in media.
i feel that the people that are chronically online not even talking about ages here, just scream for attention, they do anything for likes and views . they do trends they don't really like just to feel that they are part of something .. well i feel that's the cringe , no individuality or anything they just follow what others do. just weird to me.
As a older Gen Z person, (born 1997) this conversation is super interesting. I'm the middle child of the generations.
Zillennials.
Meh we consider you guys millennial lite.
I love you guys though tbh ❤
Gen Z is going to take it HARD when Alpha starts coming for them. That’s all imma say. 🫶🏾
It's already starting
Gen Alpha? Boo everyone been coming for us and the gen Xr’s hate us the most😂😭😭😭
@@Oyealas.Candance listen imma just say one thing on millennials/zillennials, we’re tired. We’ve lived through a lot and have been called lazy and entitled and even now we’re blamed for stuff that’s really done by y’all bc boomers just loved saying “millennials this and millennials that”….and on top of it all still have to take shit from y’all so I wouldn’t be expecting millennials/zillennials to help y’all out too much tbh. Y’all done talked about us real bad, and karma is gonna karma
I feel like Gen Z is going to be known as the generation so quick to be outraged and stand on their soap box online, but afraid to order at a restaurant, interact with their coworkers, or show up to a community meeting irl.
This is how older generations describe millennials.
I'm seeing a pattern.
