tisk ... there is a 50 year old Brazilian hater who is harrasing 2 youtubers (luba, goularte), This old man said that luba was a shitty gay guy and that he was abused to stay that way. and then, 2 days later,he posted a video saying that he didn't want to offend anyone and that he was only giving constructive criticism. what a hypocrite! ((sorry for bad english))
Yeah it's like 50%of married people get divorced. So in a highschool class if 30, 15 of them have two Christmases. Not to mention all the kids who dont have two parents because their parents split before ever getting married. Yes we have commitment issues, daddy issues, mommy issues, ect.
@@amber2511 50% of married people don't get divorced. I mean, I'm probably never going to choose to get married (I don't need the paperwork to prove I love someone), but that's a myth based upon a faulty statistic that used incomplete data. Really, a stat like that is more difficult to measure (also will vary depending on which country you are in. Hello we don't all live in America). It absolutely does not guarantee that 15 of those 30 students have two Christmasses. Just like you can't look at a group of 6 people and say "Well 1 in 6 people have genital herpes so one of you MUST have it." That's not how it works.
@@thisisaname4661 Where did they say that we all live in America, like literally where? What is your proof that the statistics are faulty? Did they say that the 15/30 kids thing was always going to be true? Obviously not, it's just a representation of the data. I am actually very confused as to why you would try to refute that like um what? What are you, a data scientist? Like seriously, where did you get that the data is incorrect??? And don't send me some obscure or fishy articles written by someone without a degree in data science. If you look it up, the top results say that 40-50% of marriages end in divorce. Most people just round to 50 because it's more satisfying to have 50% than 40% if you ask me. If someone doesn't live in America and the rates are different there, well guess what they can share what their own country's rates are. Not everyone is gonna cater to every single country on planet Earth, they're probably just going to talk about their own. It's like you're mad because people get divorced and you're in denial or something... (Btw the end part is referring to you talking about America and the 15/30 thing, I actually do want to see your resources because everything I have seen with what you are saying have been crappy articles with no real facts, no real statistics, no real data, not written by someone in the field, or really shady)
@@AddyOkay If you need to throw out ad hominem attacks and straw man arguments go ahead. I literally don't care if people get divorced. How does it affect me? Answer... It doesn't. My personal opinions on the matter, which you have no idea about, are irreverent. So are Amber's. What I was disagreeing with was her blanket statement and the figure she used, not her viewpoint. I couldn't care less about that (or about yours). But I've seen the statement “50% of marriages end in divorce” stated plenty of times in the past and I have looked into it. Plus statistics and such are kind of interesting to me (odd I know...) I know that saying is directly from a figure that comes from old US data (that included all marriages. First, second, third, etc). But it's really not that hard to figure that out. All I was saying is that it's not exactly correct. Ok, sure, maybe she didn't mean it quite so literally, maybe she was talking about her own country (without specifying or anything but ok), maybe she was “rounding up”... It seemed kind of black and white to me but I guess those are possibilities. Sure. Didn't realize you spoke for her. I stand by the sentiment of “That's not how it works.” If you look up stats (using sources other than the first result off of Google... And no, not from "fishy articles"...) you will get a lot of varied data. A simple 40-50% figure doesn't take into account different subgroups. You also have to look at how they collected the data. There are many different factors that go into building statistics. There is no sure way to predict how many couples will divorce. Or if any individual couple will. You are dealing with averages. Nobody can give a concrete number. Even if someone told me “The divorce rate in my country is only like 1%”, providing they are legally able to divorce there, they cannot use that as a guaranteed way to predict if a married couple (in their country) will stay together. You can get estimates of the data and make guesses using past figures and watching current trends, but no one can say 100%. I mean you are dealing with something so unpredictable... Human relationships. That's the flaw in statements such as Amber's. It's what we call a hasty generalization. www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/reynolds-divorce-rate-geographic-variation-2019-fp-20-25.html www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/marriage-divorce.htm www.statista.com/statistics/195955/divorce-rate-in-the-united-states-since-1990/ www.statista.com/statistics/612207/divorce-rates-in-european-countries-per-100-marriages/ ourworldindata.org/marriages-and-divorces www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7351120/ www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2013/article/marriage-and-divorce-patterns-by-gender-race-and-educational-attainment.htm time.com/5434949/divorce-rate-children-marriage-benefits/ www.oecd.org/social/family/SF_3_1_Marriage_and_divorce_rates.pdf The Fifty Percent Divorce Rate: Deconstructing a Myth scholarworks.wmich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2087&context=jssw Anyway, that was enough of my time.

Exactly. Boomers made not only pot but also some truly dangerous drugs mainstream. Many popular songs from the 60s literally encourage people to get high.
Wicker O'Seer Also isn’t it kinda funny that they make fun of minimum wage jobs (even though with out the people working these jobs society would collapse) despite always trying to in force this “work hard” and “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” policy? What happened to that? By work hard did they mean “but only at higher wage jobs that I find humanely respectable”. How do they expect people to get to that point? You gotta start from somewhere.
Flashlight Boi The difference is the guy writing the article makes it sound like you’re suppose to already have a career and not just any job when most of us are still in school

@@kaileegarcia612 but thats the thing. There's not only the disincentive of being arrested, but there's more of a promotion of talking with your partner and healthy relationships, and not settling down with the first person you meet when you're 18
As a 50+ aged person, the boomer in the article is out of touch with reality. The kids today, and by kids remember my kids are D'Angelo's age, have it a lot harder than when I was the same age. Times have changed but not for the better for a lot of people.
Honestly this generation has done a lot of good. For some reason, some people liked the older generations more. Y'know ... The generation where different people weren't given basic human rights, and you could get harassed for being gay, black etc. Not saying that black people still don't get harassed, but it's not as horrible as it used to be. You sir, are a good man.
Every generation has done good things. A generation brings a foundation in one way or another. An example, past generations made the internet commercially used, improved jobs, improved education (kinda), etc. and they have helped the current generation. It's like a staircase. A generation is a step upward, and we all have sad parts of each generation.
It's mostly millennials I think. It came out when we were in college, so we were the first to hop on. You had to have a university email to sign up. But then our parents were allowed and have taken over! But there's still mostly millennials I think.
@@lakapatejana That's what I thought. I'm in my mid 20's, but I remember Facebook becoming a thing while I was in late middle school. People on the news were writing articles about how teenagers were ruining the platform for its original college age audience, lol I think other platforms serve certain functions better, so a lot of millenials have accounts spanning multiple services at the same time. I don't have Facebook on my phone, but I do use messenger every day, which requires a fb account.
the bastardization of “trigger words” in this article... trigger words are specifically referring to people with trauma, who when you say certain words to them, it launches them into a flashback/panic attack. it’s not some liberal snowflake. it’s a thing for people with trauma/ptsd. just as Veterans might be triggered by loud sounds, Rape victims might be triggered by the words their rapist said to them. The way that older people, specifically conservatives, treat trigger words/triggers just shows their lack of empathy and how out of touch they are.
It's when people trigger warning for things like "canceled" people that drag down the reputation of tws. Real trigger warnings for things like WWII events and things like that is serious, but when people trigger warning "Pewdiepie" like that name will send them into a panic attack is just ridiculous.
@@flametoooth i mean, i guess. you don't really know the situation of the person putting tw on names and stuff. it literally doesn't hurt anyone to put a warning. but making fun of warnings will stop people from putting them where they're genuinely needed.
"Millennials don't fall in love or have strong marriages or relationships" When I was a sex worker a majority of my clients were boomers. (Mainly married)
Mostly male, right? I wonder if a lot of that stems from the mentality that men of that age are not 'allowed' to express their emotions and so they tend to feel empty and hollow inside with burdens and responsibilities weighing down upon their shoulders and the wives in their lives feel physically and emotionally unfulfilled so they slowly grow apart from each other. As an armchair psychologist, I could be way off the mark, though.
former sex worker reporting in: Yes, because they have an enforced conservative idea of marriage and many, many people aren't happy with it and need some fun and freedom. Deadass had the exact same demographic whilst on the beat
"You have McJobs we have careers" How do you have a full fleshed out career at the age of 12-20. And even 30 is a bit of a stretch as many people AS HUMAN BEINGS are still finding what they want to do for their lives.
As a 32 year old lady, I can confirm this. I didn’t even find anything close to a career until I was 27, and many of my friends (who are my age or older) still don’t have it figured out.
@Griffin Stewart WOW generalize much? I think it's funny myself because I have heard all the same criticisms - each generation tends to shit on the next generation...just saying. By the way, I am an LGBTQ+ native person who has worked all my life for change. Yeah that boomer is an idiot . Just keep on doing what you are doing and ignore those people who shit on you. Too much to do - to much life to live!
"You have hooking up. We have relationships." Ummmm... weren't many people in the Boomer Generation teenagers and twenty-somethings in the 60s and 70s? I know what happened in the 60s and 70s. You can't fool me, boomer. I've seen the movies.
right?? and there are plenty of older people on tinder these days lol. also, better to hook up and go on a bunch of dates than to get married to someone really early because of social pressure and be unhappy (divorce rates have been going down dramatically, so.....)
We have hookups. Boomers have "I got married so I could have sex because i bought into these wack religious ideas that sex was bad unless we were a. Married and b. Doing it to produce kids and then i realized i am not compatible with my wife/husband so we divorced"
“Any idea you don’t agree with sends you running for crayons and teddy bears”... does he not realize that he just wrote an entire article complaining about a whole generation just because some kid called him a boomer
"You have hookups, we have relationships." He says like that makes them better than us. Even though every comic made by a boomer is about how they hate their relationship, and despise their partner.
Yea but let's be real- hookups aren't good either. Rather a relationship than screwing some random people you'll never see. But yes in the boomer context it's quite ironic how much they mock "women" and relationships, yet get mad when modern generation does not stay in touch with them more.
20:14 “we didn’t get where we are by hanging around coffee shops” i feel bad for commenting so much but i have something to say on this too. albert and mileva einstein and their inner circle of friends would hang out at the coffee and desserts shop by their college almost daily to have theoretical and scientific discussions and that’s where a lot of ideas came from. coffee shop conversations can be really productive also a lot of people nowadays hang out at coffee shops because there’s food and free wifi and all our homework is on our computers. i wouldn’t actively choose canvas as a platform if i had a choice nothing against it i just don’t like it
additionally - in silicon valley, yc, etc. - most people get their investors via conversations where they pitch and ideate at cafes. that's how we got most modern moonshot startups.
I hate the “you expect participation trophies” argument. Like the only reason they exist in the first place is because boomers didn’t want their superstar kid to feel sad about coming in 40th place
I did sports and other competitions all through middle school and I never once got a participation trophy. Hell, I barely ever got a trophy. I was lucky if I got a medal. But of course it’s the millennials’ fault that everyone gets a medal, right boomers? (I’m Gen Z btw)
I honestly don't mind it. It may not be funny, but their reactions to it are. Even more so considering all the shit they talk about us always being triggered by little things. So it's kinda like a bait for them to confirm their hypocrisy. Even though it's dead, it's still pretty agreeable, isn't it?
in the 70's, there was no blaming the gen Z'ers for all the world's problem and being lazy no-job dreamers who were destroying society. That role was filled by HIPPIES.
"we had the beatles and aerosmith" Oh yes, the band the older generations hated back then and called you a lazy drug using rocker. this grey information center didn't learned much eh. i'd give him a participation trophy for "trying not to be a hypocrite".
Plus, I'm just guessing but I bet there were a lot of 70s and 60s music groups that weren't listed because we HAVEN'T heard of them because they were BAD, it's just that people remember and know of those bands because they were actually good...like maybe the quality of music isn't determined by the era it was made in
@@zaynab-to-a there were...and there's also many great new bands and artists nowadays. the thing is, who is not acknowledging their existance because they won't bother doing a google search, and who is usually listening to them?
@@raulperez2308 it makes sense that people now wouldn't be listening to bad music from way back when, but every era had good and bad music happening at the same time, it's just that today's bad music is more noticeable because it's being played on radios and you just hear it more often.

@@useroffline9999 I 've only had one job as well when I was 18-19 (I'm 20 now) and have yet to have another one because of fear that I'm not good enough, that I'll fuck up everything, and that my boss will always be breathing down my back due to the way I was treated at my last job by a BOOMER. Fast food restaurant, I was actually one of their best dining team members in the last 2 years and all my coworkers acknowledged it. I micromanaged my tasks EXTREMELY well even during rush hour (which was extremely intense, full house every Tuesday and Thursday because we have car shows) and they never had to keep tabs on me or remind me to do anything. I was friendly to customers and they always liked to see me as my grandpa also hosted the car shows and they liked to see his granddaughter. I mostly kept to myself, but I would engage in conversation occasionally and I was always ready to help if needed. I would find working the register a lot more engaging because I'd be able to do a lot more than small talk (but was never allowed, as you'll read below...). My manager was insecure as fuck that I was making friends with my coworkers, but more importantly to her, her BF, and so she talked shit behind my back to my boss (he said some stuff about drama). She also confronted me "anonymously" through text, asking me if I liked her BF, and not responding to my questions at all, but literally the next day I compared the phone number on our team member sheet and it was hers. I told the stock manager (second in command) about this and he said he'd keep it in mind, but I'm not sure if anything actually happened or if he told our boss. I knew I had to stay professional and so I continued to work with her normally, and I honestly even grew to like her a bit, although maybe out of fear. I rarely made eye contact with her. My stupid boomer boss would never let me work the register even though I was the ONLY one out of all of them who had a CUSTOMER SERVICE CERTIFICATION and I have scoliosis so bending over cleaning tables for hours was painful as shit. He also wouldn't let me work mornings (for essentially no reason--there were spots open each week) despite having a few time constraints in the evening (I was a FULL-TIME university student...). He then fired me because I "wasn't a good fit for their company" really? At least I was considering quitting at that point. This experience was actually very traumatizing as my BPD was fully developed and I was in an abusive relationship that, through emotional dysregulation, caused me to stop going to one of my classes. Having my boss mistreat me and tell me that I'm not good enough despite giving my all and being recognized by my coworkers only kicked me while I was down.
Of course. I’m jobless, not like I’m just a 13 year old trying to make it through school and life while the world crumbles around me. Just dealing with anxiety and depression, self harm and trauma.

There is literally a joke about them going to the store for milk and not coming back. There are novels about grandmothers who see their husbands faces in several neighbourhood children but they stay quiet. The older sitcoms thrived on jokes that were basically "Teehee I hate mah wife.

@@ro-vb2co as a Millennial, same. I have more faith in Gen z than any of the other generations tbh. I don't want to generalise too much but it seems like a good majority of y'all are heading in a good direction and want to do right by each other and the planet. I think it's hard for older generations to see the value in Gen z because they don't interact with enough people from that generation without their bias already in place. They think they know what Gen z is like by judging mainstream UA-cam and TikTok videos that shows people at their most ridiculous, behaving purely for comedic effect to gain followers. Too many of them can't separate what people are like in real life and what they do on the internet for fun to entertain an audience or their friends in real life.
Ok but in reality we all know that Deangelo wrote the article himself just so he could wear a backwards baseball cap and be a backwards baseball cap boy.
I'm a millenial and I remember getting those in elementary school. It was definitely the adults who invented them for us cause they thought they would make us feel better. But every kid who got them was always just like 'oh, a participation ribbon. I failed.' So participation ribbons were created by boomers. I hope they aren't still around?
Skuak I always wondered if those boomers thought “best attitude” or “most improved” awards were not earned. but I guess those are not the only non-awards?
Christine Vivier Exactly! I remember us not even caring about them. If you didn’t get the number one trophy/ribbon you were a loser anyway LOL. It’s funny because the boomers invented those ribbons! Do they really think that eight-year-olds were on the planning committee?

@@useroffline9999 you didn't say what your gender was so I'm not sure if your manager who went out of their way to call you a girl was making the effort and being respectful or being awful and also misgendering you. We're they actually being decent and supportive or...
how dare he say that we don’t have empathy. older generations STILL discriminate against people for their genders and sexualities (and even sometimes race). so far, gen z is the most tolerant and accepting generation yet. it takes empathy to accept people for who they are. how dare he.
"Sometimes race" bro all the time race. I've actually met boomers (and a lot of young conservatives) who tried to convince me that they were superior to African Americans and Hispanics.
That's ironic. It's the old people that lack empathy, they just confuse with sympathy (which they also oftentimes lack). Empathy is a learned skill because you need to learn how put your prejudices aside and put yourself in other people's shoes.
"We *earned* our marriages and 401(k)s" is literally just "Stop being poor uwu" but phrased nicer. No one tell him that there are poor boomers too, or bring up race or gender wealth inequity, you might break him :P
What does he mean by "earned our marriages" anyway? Does he think we just get handed a partner to marry instantly? Does he think it's not difficult to get into a good relationship that leads to marriage?
12:04 "You live for likes. We live for love" Yeah, I'm sure you were living for love when you were telling gay couples they were going to hell for wanting equal rights.
also, let's not ignore the divorce rates, which have been going down considerably with time (at least in the US), especially in the past two decades or so. mayhaps dating around a bit and hooking up are not bad things because they lead you to get into relationships you'll be happy with rather than ones you were kinda forced into due to societal pressure and little past experience with that kind of stuff? but no, the old cis straight white men are clearly the ones who knew real love when they got super mad at any lgbt people and interracial marriages, of course
it always amuses me when older people say "the music we had was better" as if that music disappeared from the face of the earth in 1999 and doesn't exist on digital stores and streaming platforms for someone of any age to listen to
LMAO That dude claimed they earned their marriages? They were allowed to beat their wives, and women weren't ALLOWED to leave them. How the hell is that earning your relationship?
So true. Here’s a list of people who ACTUALLY earned their marriages: - LGBT people - People in interracial relationships - People (especially women, like you said) who left their abusive partners, healed themselves, and found love again - Disabled people CURRENTLY fighting for the right to keep their disability benefits after marriage, because disabilities don’t magically disappear once you tie the knot - People who overcame past traumas and learned how to trust All of which has nothing to do with age.
@@piknos3381 yea these younger generations dont appreciate the struggle, the effort it took to beat our wives so they would stay in their proper place.

So, I'm an X'er, born in the late 70s. The boomers BEAT us, literally into submission and if we dared to talk back to them we had to deal with the fallout, which was exhausting. We finally just gave up and left our toxic families and moved on. Much younger people finally had enough of boomer's shit and clapped back. Boomers are just mad someone dared call them out on their shit. As far as I'm concerned they can die mad. All you young folks, keep on doing what you are doing, you're making the world a better place.
My parents are gen x and I had the same experience. My mom has grown and apologized and behaves better and is more self-aware (which is weird bc I had already grieved for her/thought of her as dead as I was expecting her to die soon since she was an alcoholic). My dad is the same piece of shit he's always been. My sister is 16 now, but once she and I are out of here we're changing our names and numbers. We already picked names.
Folks love to point out that gen z "loves participation trophies"... I have NEVER asked for an award like that, and when I WAS given participation ribbons, I felt insulted and patronized. None of us wanted those, they were normalized by our parents who wanted us to feel "special".
I'm one of those older millennials and we used to get place ribbons based on our performance, so if someone came in 14th place, they got a 14th place ribbon. I don't know if that's supposed to mean 'participation trophy' or not. I just knew it felt bad to get 14th place so I would try harder to place better next time.
I remember going to different sport camps and ballet practice when we were younger. I HATED how everyone got a ribbon, even when they were just on the sidelines doing nothing. The kinds out in the middle doing well didn't get anything different from the kids doing absolutely nothing
@@gachaboots1172 you're wrong. Boomers contributed to mass production in the technical, oil and other fields, causing it to have a harmful effect on the planet. No, they didn't start it. Yes, they stood there, watched it happen and made it worse. (I wasn't trying to offend anyone with this comment. Not ALL boomers are bad, never said that)
"Ugh you gen z kids only work at fastfood shops" yeah cus the older generation ruined the job market so now the standards for experience are way too high
@@NAME-yg8sl yes we are. I took a college and career life planning class and that highlighted how hard getting jobs are now even compared to the time of my professor who was a gen x-er.
As a millennial: 1. Gen Z are definitely the most empathetic, that's kinda obvious 2. I hope we don't turn out like our parents generation where we always have to tear down the younger generation, we can both be good in different ways. 3. If you think millennials are lazy I hate to break it to you, but I like many millennials actually work full time or more but you wouldn't know it because with out of control rents and real estate prices (especially in CA) we really don't have much to show for our efforts, and boomers have absolutely profited from this situation.
Millennials aren’t lazy, they’re traumatized by two recessions and as a result don’t feel like blindly putting their heart and soul into a company or job that might kick them to the curb at a moment’s notice.
@@talynhastime9343 I would agree, I just recently found a job at 30 where I don't feel like I'm completely expendable, has decent benefits, doesn't expect me to work 60+ hours a week with no additional pay and I don't hate every second of it. It's really been eye opening, like I don't have to wake up every day feeling dread that I will have to work a crazy long stressful day. Of course it pays enough to support my family and pay my bills, but after the absolutely astronomical costs of childcare, health care, and rent there's really basically nothing left over for saving up to buy a home or save for retirement,, and I am one of the lucky ones who was able to get a college education. Shit has been rough to say the least, we definitely didn't have it as hard as say, the greatest generation but the boomers had it way fucking easier and they just can't admit it.
@@talynhastime9343 i agree, i feel fortunate that i decided to go to a technical highschool in 2008 and in an effort to become 'recession proof' i opted for plumbing. Im 25 now and Industrial pipefitting has been a ladder for me and my family since graduating. im especially thankful now having not been laid off given recent events, going forward i do think more social positivity towards skilled trades will be invaluable. Ive picked up a full time mechanical drafting role in the last year given my field experience and its one of the many reasons i say having a skilled (certified) trade makes you a more valued commodity than ever before and allot of young intelligent people dont see it. Amazing job security, the average pay is steadily increasing, and with boomers are aging out advancement opportunities are widespread.
Truth. I find most millennials are house poor. Also, many of us suffer from severe mental illness do to the irresponsibility of our parents. Thanks to that we are left to try and help ourselves because they want to put the blame only on us. I have PTSD which had a different name in their day and age, shell shock.

For the hookup one, the only reason he's mad about it is because now women are socially allowed to initiate hookups. Before, it was only men, but women have agency over their own bodies now, so relationships are out the window.
“Whose greatest desire is to spend the rest of their lives smoking medical marijuana in the parents’ basements.” Isn’t that what you guys did in the 60s and 70s?
I am a 45 y. o. Mom from the philippines and this young man is making his mama proud. A very good head on his shoulders... hope more of ypur generation think like you.
So...gen z’ers are not supposed to work at places like McDonald’s, we’re supposed to have careers, but if we get those careers at a young ago through entrepreneurship they were just handed to us and that makes us entitled? He does realize that the oldest gen z kids are like 22 right?
Surprisingly, I'm fairly certain this isn't a snipe at Gen Z working McDonald's -- you're likely to see much older staying there for longer -- but at the tendency for them to not have job loyalty, choosing to enter and leave positions often. Of course, I could be overestimating, but it is a phenomenon that has been talked about a number of times.
ChaosoneX probably because over time you are supposed to be offered raises and benefits from company loyalty, but companies don’t give a shit about their workers and the feeling is mutual. If you aren’t getting the success you want where you are, you’ll go somewhere else to get it.
@@ChaosoneX Which, he clearly doesn't understand, is the way the workforce functions now, since the best way to get a raise these days is to negotiate one by switching to another company.
I find it really funny how he calls newer generations spoiled when the boomer generation was known by the silent generation to be extremely spoiled and ignorant since they were given a world where the worlds biggest problems were already being solved and fixed while their generation were doing drugs and partying lol, the irony
okay, i am legitimately annoyed about the "trigger words" thing. NEWSFLASH: mental health is a thing??? way to discredit everyone struggling with real mental health issue because being "triggered" by something is not at _all_ the result of literal trauma, but just a result of people being weak thin-skinned crybabies
also, imo, trigger warnings can actually potentially give space for more and better discussions. because instead of having people who don't know the discussion they're about to have will have negative effects on them, meaning they can't get into the topic so well, they can now know "ok i'll sit this one out and let people who have interest in having this discussion and aren't bothered by it talk about it". meaning people have to worry less about something being a sensitive topic for anyone involved in the conversation bc there was a previous warning already. also like... movies have had ratings that say stuff like "violence" and "mature language" or whatever for ages, those are essentially vague trigger warnings for movies anyway to let you know "hey, this might not be good for you". would he complain that food wrapping saying "contains peanuts" means that people with peanut allergies are whiny and self-centered and are trying to stop anyone from eating that specific food that contains peanuts??
@@Jukajobs Trigger warnings have also personally helped me (and I’m sure others) in the sense that I can pause, gather everything I need to treat my symptoms depending on the type of trigger, and work through my issues one conversation at a time that I don’t even need to add to, so I can concentrate on the information and how it’s effecting me. Long story short, I can work through trauma with my own version of therapy (forget the word, but if your afraid of spiders you look at pictures of spiders)
@@gingermaniac5484 exactly!! and same, warnings can help a lot! some days are harder than others, and on those days, seeing something that might give me self-destructive urges out of the blue, no warning, would be very bad to me and i wouldn't be able to stop having those impulses for a while. so i appreciate warnings a lot
“Why don’t you ask us for advice? We can tell you how to get things done!” Because when I told my grandma that I was struggling to save for a house, her response was “Why don’t you just use the money from your employer-sponsored savings plan?” ... 1) I’m a contractor. 2) My husband is a contractor. 3) WTF is an EMPLOYER SPONSORED SAVINGS PLAN!? Apparently that USED to be a thing. But Boomer bosses eliminated them. Soooo that would be why I’m not going that route, Grandma. Because your advice is straight up irrelevant.
Certain advices like life lessons and career paths should be taken by older people. They lived longer so they obviously had more experience living in this crappy world.
Just gotta pull yourself up by the bootstraps! Go door to door with some paper resumes. When you get a job you can just get 10 mortgages for free sending the entire economy into one of the worst crashes in history Wait a second

“We have relationships”
No, you have the highest divorce rates that led to our commitment issues
Yeah it's like 50%of married people get divorced. So in a highschool class if 30, 15 of them have two Christmases. Not to mention all the kids who dont have two parents because their parents split before ever getting married. Yes we have commitment issues, daddy issues, mommy issues, ect.
Damn that burn.
@@amber2511 50% of married people don't get divorced. I mean, I'm probably never going to choose to get married (I don't need the paperwork to prove I love someone), but that's a myth based upon a faulty statistic that used incomplete data. Really, a stat like that is more difficult to measure (also will vary depending on which country you are in. Hello we don't all live in America). It absolutely does not guarantee that 15 of those 30 students have two Christmasses. Just like you can't look at a group of 6 people and say "Well 1 in 6 people have genital herpes so one of you MUST have it." That's not how it works.
@@thisisaname4661 Where did they say that we all live in America, like literally where? What is your proof that the statistics are faulty? Did they say that the 15/30 kids thing was always going to be true? Obviously not, it's just a representation of the data. I am actually very confused as to why you would try to refute that like um what? What are you, a data scientist? Like seriously, where did you get that the data is incorrect??? And don't send me some obscure or fishy articles written by someone without a degree in data science. If you look it up, the top results say that 40-50% of marriages end in divorce. Most people just round to 50 because it's more satisfying to have 50% than 40% if you ask me. If someone doesn't live in America and the rates are different there, well guess what they can share what their own country's rates are. Not everyone is gonna cater to every single country on planet Earth, they're probably just going to talk about their own. It's like you're mad because people get divorced and you're in denial or something...
(Btw the end part is referring to you talking about America and the 15/30 thing, I actually do want to see your resources because everything I have seen with what you are saying have been crappy articles with no real facts, no real statistics, no real data, not written by someone in the field, or really shady)
@@AddyOkay
If you need to throw out ad hominem attacks and straw man arguments go ahead. I literally don't care if people get divorced. How does it affect me? Answer... It doesn't. My personal opinions on the matter, which you have no idea about, are irreverent. So are Amber's. What I was disagreeing with was her blanket statement and the figure she used, not her viewpoint. I couldn't care less about that (or about yours). But I've seen the statement “50% of marriages end in divorce” stated plenty of times in the past and I have looked into it. Plus statistics and such are kind of interesting to me (odd I know...) I know that saying is directly from a figure that comes from old US data (that included all marriages. First, second, third, etc). But it's really not that hard to figure that out. All I was saying is that it's not exactly correct. Ok, sure, maybe she didn't mean it quite so literally, maybe she was talking about her own country (without specifying or anything but ok), maybe she was “rounding up”... It seemed kind of black and white to me but I guess those are possibilities. Sure. Didn't realize you spoke for her.
I stand by the sentiment of “That's not how it works.” If you look up stats (using sources other than the first result off of Google... And no, not from "fishy articles"...) you will get a lot of varied data. A simple 40-50% figure doesn't take into account different subgroups. You also have to look at how they collected the data. There are many different factors that go into building statistics. There is no sure way to predict how many couples will divorce. Or if any individual couple will. You are dealing with averages. Nobody can give a concrete number. Even if someone told me “The divorce rate in my country is only like 1%”, providing they are legally able to divorce there, they cannot use that as a guaranteed way to predict if a married couple (in their country) will stay together. You can get estimates of the data and make guesses using past figures and watching current trends, but no one can say 100%. I mean you are dealing with something so unpredictable... Human relationships. That's the flaw in statements such as Amber's. It's what we call a hasty generalization.

the bastardization of “trigger words” in this article...
trigger words are specifically referring to people with trauma, who when you say certain words to them, it launches them into a flashback/panic attack. it’s not some liberal snowflake. it’s a thing for people with trauma/ptsd. just as Veterans might be triggered by loud sounds, Rape victims might be triggered by the words their rapist said to them. The way that older people, specifically conservatives, treat trigger words/triggers just shows their lack of empathy and how out of touch they are.

"Millennials don't fall in love or have strong marriages or relationships"
When I was a sex worker a majority of my clients were boomers. (Mainly married)
Mostly male, right? I wonder if a lot of that stems from the mentality that men of that age are not 'allowed' to express their emotions and so they tend to feel empty and hollow inside with burdens and responsibilities weighing down upon their shoulders and the wives in their lives feel physically and emotionally unfulfilled so they slowly grow apart from each other. As an armchair psychologist, I could be way off the mark, though.
Yes!!!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
former sex worker reporting in: Yes, because they have an enforced conservative idea of marriage and many, many people aren't happy with it and need some fun and freedom. Deadass had the exact same demographic whilst on the beat

"You have McJobs we have careers"
How do you have a full fleshed out career at the age of 12-20. And even 30 is a bit of a stretch as many people AS HUMAN BEINGS are still finding what they want to do for their lives.
As a 32 year old lady, I can confirm this. I didn’t even find anything close to a career until I was 27, and many of my friends (who are my age or older) still don’t have it figured out.
@@virgofairy88 This makes me feel better as a baby millennial. I literally just graduated university last year like calm down dude.
This man doesn’t even know the definition between a job and career so I don’t expect him to know that kids can’t have jobs... 🤦🏾♀️😂
Also how is it the fault of young people that the economy is terrible and most people can only get low paying low skill jobs?
Well I'm 12 and I'm a professional chef at a huge restaurant, I pay bills and have 4 houses.
Boomer: “We live for love”
Yeah, you live for love except for LGBTQ+ and mixed race couples.
And I'm in both. My girlfriend is of a different race than me, and a girlfriend so.....they would hate me
and basically anyone who's not straight and white and doesn't break boundaries
They hate everyone, except for themselves
Most old folks.
@Griffin Stewart WOW generalize much? I think it's funny myself because I have heard all the same criticisms - each generation tends to shit on the next generation...just saying. By the way, I am an LGBTQ+ native person who has worked all my life for change. Yeah that boomer is an idiot . Just keep on doing what you are doing and ignore those people who shit on you. Too much to do - to much life to live!
"You have hooking up. We have relationships."
Ummmm... weren't many people in the Boomer Generation teenagers and twenty-somethings in the 60s and 70s? I know what happened in the 60s and 70s. You can't fool me, boomer. I've seen the movies.
right?? and there are plenty of older people on tinder these days lol.
also, better to hook up and go on a bunch of dates than to get married to someone really early because of social pressure and be unhappy (divorce rates have been going down dramatically, so.....)
He talks about all those great musicians... how's their relationship history look?
We have hookups. Boomers have "I got married so I could have sex because i bought into these wack religious ideas that sex was bad unless we were a. Married and b. Doing it to produce kids and then i realized i am not compatible with my wife/husband so we divorced"
"You have hookups, we have getting married straight out of high school and then being surprised when we go through three divorces"

"You have hookups, we have relationships."
He says like that makes them better than us. Even though every comic made by a boomer is about how they hate their relationship, and despise their partner.
Yea but let's be real- hookups aren't good either. Rather a relationship than screwing some random people you'll never see. But yes in the boomer context it's quite ironic how much they mock "women" and relationships, yet get mad when modern generation does not stay in touch with them more.

20:14 “we didn’t get where we are by hanging around coffee shops” i feel bad for commenting so much but i have something to say on this too. albert and mileva einstein and their inner circle of friends would hang out at the coffee and desserts shop by their college almost daily to have theoretical and scientific discussions and that’s where a lot of ideas came from. coffee shop conversations can be really productive also a lot of people nowadays hang out at coffee shops because there’s food and free wifi and all our homework is on our computers. i wouldn’t actively choose canvas as a platform if i had a choice nothing against it i just don’t like it

I hate the “you expect participation trophies” argument. Like the only reason they exist in the first place is because boomers didn’t want their superstar kid to feel sad about coming in 40th place

Yeah, you're right lol. It's always the parents throwing a fit because their "perfect human" absolutely deserves everything!
I've literally never gotten a participation trophy in my life.
this is unreasonably true, but they will never hear that and accept that it means they fucked that up for us.
I did sports and other competitions all through middle school and I never once got a participation trophy. Hell, I barely ever got a trophy. I was lucky if I got a medal. But of course it’s the millennials’ fault that everyone gets a medal, right boomers? (I’m Gen Z btw)

@@useroffline9999 I 've only had one job as well when I was 18-19 (I'm 20 now) and have yet to have another one because of fear that I'm not good enough, that I'll fuck up everything, and that my boss will always be breathing down my back due to the way I was treated at my last job by a BOOMER. Fast food restaurant, I was actually one of their best dining team members in the last 2 years and all my coworkers acknowledged it. I micromanaged my tasks EXTREMELY well even during rush hour (which was extremely intense, full house every Tuesday and Thursday because we have car shows) and they never had to keep tabs on me or remind me to do anything. I was friendly to customers and they always liked to see me as my grandpa also hosted the car shows and they liked to see his granddaughter. I mostly kept to myself, but I would engage in conversation occasionally and I was always ready to help if needed. I would find working the register a lot more engaging because I'd be able to do a lot more than small talk (but was never allowed, as you'll read below...).
My manager was insecure as fuck that I was making friends with my coworkers, but more importantly to her, her BF, and so she talked shit behind my back to my boss (he said some stuff about drama). She also confronted me "anonymously" through text, asking me if I liked her BF, and not responding to my questions at all, but literally the next day I compared the phone number on our team member sheet and it was hers. I told the stock manager (second in command) about this and he said he'd keep it in mind, but I'm not sure if anything actually happened or if he told our boss. I knew I had to stay professional and so I continued to work with her normally, and I honestly even grew to like her a bit, although maybe out of fear. I rarely made eye contact with her.
My stupid boomer boss would never let me work the register even though I was the ONLY one out of all of them who had a CUSTOMER SERVICE CERTIFICATION and I have scoliosis so bending over cleaning tables for hours was painful as shit. He also wouldn't let me work mornings (for essentially no reason--there were spots open each week) despite having a few time constraints in the evening (I was a FULL-TIME university student...). He then fired me because I "wasn't a good fit for their company" really? At least I was considering quitting at that point.
This experience was actually very traumatizing as my BPD was fully developed and I was in an abusive relationship that, through emotional dysregulation, caused me to stop going to one of my classes. Having my boss mistreat me and tell me that I'm not good enough despite giving my all and being recognized by my coworkers only kicked me while I was down.
Of course. I’m jobless, not like I’m just a 13 year old trying to make it through school and life while the world crumbles around me.
Just dealing with anxiety and depression, self harm and trauma. Just ya know, bein all selfish. Just not being able to get good counsling because I’m at home because of a pandemic that the 🍊 made way worse. Refreshing my timeline. Wearing my hat backwards. Ya know, the usual.

I'm a millenial and I remember getting those in elementary school. It was definitely the adults who invented them for us cause they thought they would make us feel better. But every kid who got them was always just like 'oh, a participation ribbon. I failed.'
So participation ribbons were created by boomers.
I hope they aren't still around?

also, let's not ignore the divorce rates, which have been going down considerably with time (at least in the US), especially in the past two decades or so. mayhaps dating around a bit and hooking up are not bad things because they lead you to get into relationships you'll be happy with rather than ones you were kinda forced into due to societal pressure and little past experience with that kind of stuff?

So true. Here’s a list of people who ACTUALLY earned their marriages:
- LGBT people
- People in interracial relationships
- People (especially women, like you said) who left their abusive partners, healed themselves, and found love again
- Disabled people CURRENTLY fighting for the right to keep their disability benefits after marriage, because disabilities don’t magically disappear once you tie the knot
- People who overcame past traumas and learned how to trust
All of which has nothing to do with age.

So, I'm an X'er, born in the late 70s. The boomers BEAT us, literally into submission and if we dared to talk back to them we had to deal with the fallout, which was exhausting. We finally just gave up and left our toxic families and moved on. Much younger people finally had enough of boomer's shit and clapped back. Boomers are just mad someone dared call them out on their shit. As far as I'm concerned they can die mad. All you young folks, keep on doing what you are doing, you're making the world a better place.
I'm just prepared for boomer and the Silent Generation to die in their retirement homes so they can leave us the fuck alone.
Juratory for real. I’m just waiting for the day they all die out.
My parents are gen x and I had the same experience. My mom has grown and apologized and behaves better and is more self-aware (which is weird bc I had already grieved for her/thought of her as dead as I was expecting her to die soon since she was an alcoholic). My dad is the same piece of shit he's always been.
My sister is 16 now, but once she and I are out of here we're changing our names and numbers. We already picked names.

“You expect participation trophies”
But...I didn’t...ask...for a trophy...?
Folks love to point out that gen z "loves participation trophies"... I have NEVER asked for an award like that, and when I WAS given participation ribbons, I felt insulted and patronized. None of us wanted those, they were normalized by our parents who wanted us to feel "special".
I'm one of those older millennials and we used to get place ribbons based on our performance, so if someone came in 14th place, they got a 14th place ribbon. I don't know if that's supposed to mean 'participation trophy' or not. I just knew it felt bad to get 14th place so I would try harder to place better next time.
I remember going to different sport camps and ballet practice when we were younger. I HATED how everyone got a ribbon, even when they were just on the sidelines doing nothing. The kinds out in the middle doing well didn't get anything different from the kids doing absolutely nothing
this.
Aspiring Ghost AND THATS ON PERIODT
Boomer: “you don’t even know how much you spend at Starbucks”
I’m sorry I didn’t know *gen z* was responsible for the astronomical inflation rates
My discord name is True_Kkiwi lol
oH the tea is HOT!
When I worked at Starbucks 4 to 2 years ago the main customer base was American expats in their 40s to60s. (Switzerland). So like.. not millenials
Lmao as I read this I got a Starbucks ad

"Gen Z ruined everything!"
Dude I'm just in highschool trying to survive ;-;
@@nikhita280 I mean the boomers didn't either
He’s really fuccing stupid, it annoys the hell out of me. 🤦🏾♀️
Gacha BOOTS ehhh technically they did, especially when you consider that they’ve been able to vote for significantly longer than we have lol
Do they no that everything we use was made by them and millennials
@@gachaboots1172 you're wrong. Boomers contributed to mass production in the technical, oil and other fields, causing it to have a harmful effect on the planet. No, they didn't start it. Yes, they stood there, watched it happen and made it worse.
(I wasn't trying to offend anyone with this comment. Not ALL boomers are bad, never said that)
"Ugh you gen z kids only work at fastfood shops" yeah cus the older generation ruined the job market so now the standards for experience are way too high
Also aren't the oldest Zoomers in college?
@@NAME-yg8sl yes we are. I took a college and career life planning class and that highlighted how hard getting jobs are now even compared to the time of my professor who was a gen x-er.
As a millennial:
1. Gen Z are definitely the most empathetic, that's kinda obvious
2. I hope we don't turn out like our parents generation where we always have to tear down the younger generation, we can both be good in different ways.
3. If you think millennials are lazy I hate to break it to you, but I like many millennials actually work full time or more but you wouldn't know it because with out of control rents and real estate prices (especially in CA) we really don't have much to show for our efforts, and boomers have absolutely profited from this situation.
Millennials aren’t lazy, they’re traumatized by two recessions and as a result don’t feel like blindly putting their heart and soul into a company or job that might kick them to the curb at a moment’s notice.
@@talynhastime9343 I would agree, I just recently found a job at 30 where I don't feel like I'm completely expendable, has decent benefits, doesn't expect me to work 60+ hours a week with no additional pay and I don't hate every second of it. It's really been eye opening, like I don't have to wake up every day feeling dread that I will have to work a crazy long stressful day. Of course it pays enough to support my family and pay my bills, but after the absolutely astronomical costs of childcare, health care, and rent there's really basically nothing left over for saving up to buy a home or save for retirement,, and I am one of the lucky ones who was able to get a college education. Shit has been rough to say the least, we definitely didn't have it as hard as say, the greatest generation but the boomers had it way fucking easier and they just can't admit it.
@@talynhastime9343 i agree, i feel fortunate that i decided to go to a technical highschool in 2008 and in an effort to become 'recession proof' i opted for plumbing. Im 25 now and Industrial pipefitting has been a ladder for me and my family since graduating. im especially thankful now having not been laid off given recent events, going forward i do think more social positivity towards skilled trades will be invaluable. Ive picked up a full time mechanical drafting role in the last year given my field experience and its one of the many reasons i say having a skilled (certified) trade makes you a more valued commodity than ever before and allot of young intelligent people dont see it. Amazing job security, the average pay is steadily increasing, and with boomers are aging out advancement opportunities are widespread.
Truth. I find most millennials are house poor. Also, many of us suffer from severe mental illness do to the irresponsibility of our parents. Thanks to that we are left to try and help ourselves because they want to put the blame only on us. I have PTSD which had a different name in their day and age, shell shock.
Pretty sure when we become grandparents we'll call out grandbabies things like "simps" or "karens" or spew some no no words like n*gga, out of habit, or show them a song that isn't the best example to a child
gen z and millenials : *try to be outspoken about their beliefs*
boomers : *dismisses them* ahah okay sure kid
also boomers : *complain about gen z and millenials being a far more woke generation*
gen z and millenials : ok boomer
boomers : WHAT?! 1?1/ TREASON!!! UNACCPECTLAVELE WE WILL RIOT AT SUNRISE GET YA WALKIN STICKS >:(((((
WALKING STICKS I CANT HAHAHLKKDHSDDJLKDLHJ
Why do boomers complain about us using our phones and the internet when they invented both for us to use...😶
And boomers want us to not have our phones out and us not to have them while they are aways on Facebook
Yeah it's like them telling people not to curse while whilst curing them out
whenever ppl use this argument on me i'm like "my grandfather has an iphone 11 and knows how to do use it better than my iphone 7 owning ass ever will." (honestly tho, a phone with no home button?? like, how does that even work?? HOW DO YOU UNLOCK IT?!?!)
id like to say that gen x created the internet, and not boomers, making boomers even more useless
@@olive545 period.
For the hookup one, the only reason he's mad about it is because now women are socially allowed to initiate hookups. Before, it was only men, but women have agency over their own bodies now, so relationships are out the window.
“Whose greatest desire is to spend the rest of their lives smoking medical marijuana in the parents’ basements.” Isn’t that what you guys did in the 60s and 70s?

This is literally the sweetest comment I have ever seen
😻
Very good comment, ten/ten
Right? I’m a fellow “oldie” (43, Australian) and I’m also left with so much hope when I watch his videos - the world might be OK, after all.
I found this comment so insanely wholesome I love it
So...gen z’ers are not supposed to work at places like McDonald’s, we’re supposed to have careers, but if we get those careers at a young ago through entrepreneurship they were just handed to us and that makes us entitled? He does realize that the oldest gen z kids are like 22 right?
Surprisingly, I'm fairly certain this isn't a snipe at Gen Z working McDonald's -- you're likely to see much older staying there for longer -- but at the tendency for them to not have job loyalty, choosing to enter and leave positions often. Of course, I could be overestimating, but it is a phenomenon that has been talked about a number of times.
ChaosoneX probably because over time you are supposed to be offered raises and benefits from company loyalty, but companies don’t give a shit about their workers and the feeling is mutual. If you aren’t getting the success you want where you are, you’ll go somewhere else to get it.
@@ChaosoneX Which, he clearly doesn't understand, is the way the workforce functions now, since the best way to get a raise these days is to negotiate one by switching to another company.
24 already, we start at 1996...
I find it really funny how he calls newer generations spoiled when the boomer generation was known by the silent generation to be extremely spoiled and ignorant since they were given a world where the worlds biggest problems were already being solved and fixed while their generation were doing drugs and partying lol, the irony
As a Gen Xer I find "Ok boomer" hilarious and well deserved most times.
Underrated comment tbh.
thank you.
I mean even my Grandma finds it funny. I don't find it funny at all but. Eh
my dad's gen X and he laughs at Karen jokes
@@jrawing how old are you?
okay, i am legitimately annoyed about the "trigger words" thing. NEWSFLASH: mental health is a thing??? way to discredit everyone struggling with real mental health issue because being "triggered" by something is not at _all_ the result of literal trauma, but just a result of people being weak thin-skinned crybabies
also, imo, trigger warnings can actually potentially give space for more and better discussions. because instead of having people who don't know the discussion they're about to have will have negative effects on them, meaning they can't get into the topic so well, they can now know "ok i'll sit this one out and let people who have interest in having this discussion and aren't bothered by it talk about it". meaning people have to worry less about something being a sensitive topic for anyone involved in the conversation bc there was a previous warning already. also like... movies have had ratings that say stuff like "violence" and "mature language" or whatever for ages, those are essentially vague trigger warnings for movies anyway to let you know "hey, this might not be good for you".
would he complain that food wrapping saying "contains peanuts" means that people with peanut allergies are whiny and self-centered and are trying to stop anyone from eating that specific food that contains peanuts??
@@Jukajobs ^^^
@@Jukajobs
Trigger warnings have also personally helped me (and I’m sure others) in the sense that I can pause, gather everything I need to treat my symptoms depending on the type of trigger, and work through my issues one conversation at a time that I don’t even need to add to, so I can concentrate on the information and how it’s effecting me. Long story short, I can work through trauma with my own version of therapy (forget the word, but if your afraid of spiders you look at pictures of spiders)
@@gingermaniac5484 exactly!! and same, warnings can help a lot! some days are harder than others, and on those days, seeing something that might give me self-destructive urges out of the blue, no warning, would be very bad to me and i wouldn't be able to stop having those impulses for a while. so i appreciate warnings a lot
depends, some people have legitimate trauma, and others pretend to for social clout
that's why triggered became a joke
“Why don’t you ask us for advice? We can tell you how to get things done!”
Because when I told my grandma that I was struggling to save for a house, her response was “Why don’t you just use the money from your employer-sponsored savings plan?”
...
1) I’m a contractor.
2) My husband is a contractor.
3) WTF is an EMPLOYER SPONSORED SAVINGS PLAN!? Apparently that USED to be a thing. But Boomer bosses eliminated them.
Soooo that would be why I’m not going that route, Grandma. Because your advice is straight up irrelevant.
Certain advices like life lessons and career paths should be taken by older people. They lived longer so they obviously had more experience living in this crappy world.
Just gotta pull yourself up by the bootstraps! Go door to door with some paper resumes. When you get a job you can just get 10 mortgages for free sending the entire economy into one of the worst crashes in history
Wait a second
"Grandma, those haven't existed since at least the 80s. Also, I technically don't have an employer due to loopholes in labor laws, despite the fact that I go into work every day to fulfill the duties of an employee for a superior."
