Calling generation z post-millennial’s is like calling a tree a post-seed

[docheyy]

I imagine media companies just spin a wheel where it says : millenials are killing

[helpmefortheloveofshrek]

This goes out to all the parents:
If you have problems with your children, remember who raised them...

“post-millennials” sounds like a hate term from older generations. why not just call us gen z.

You can’t call yourself a “Millennial” if you haven’t lived for a thousand years

I think my favorite example of this is a Chinese scholar from ~2500 years ago lamenting that newfangled “corpuses” (books) were going to create a generation of lazy, ignorant people. Why? Because the tediousness of sifting throughly strung-together tablets “built character.” We will never learn.

"Damn gen4 clones, they're too lazy, back in my day we wore uncomfortably tight heavy armor and used heavy weapons, those gen fours can't even kill one b2 super battle droid"

I feel the suicide rate comes from anxiety that everyone is pressuring you to live up to a standard that today is a lot harder to achieve than back then. The world changes very quickly.

you can't call yourself a "baby-boomer" if you never detonated an infant

When I'm older I'll be telling my kids to get off the stratosphere and play some video games like I did back in the day.

“More depressed than any generation” *Gen Z has entered the chat*

[riftis]

Back in my day we lived in our virtual reality pods, and everyone actually interacted with each other within the virtual world as independent beings. Kids these days uploading themselves to the
collective hivemind every day will never learn what it means to be an individual.

Baby boomers: ugh these Millennials and their phones
Millennials: ugh these gen z kids so cringy with their fortnite
Gen z: ugh me

[dominuspraefectus]

calling gen Z post-millenial is like calling a kid "post-toddler"

[laurenlewis]

Me: My feet hurt
My mom: Its that damn phone

[ArryLad]

Gen Z to Millennial: You merely adopted technology...I was born in it, moulded by it...

[anastronautzimmerman]

What i've seen lately is that older people are blaming millennials for always being addicted to smartphones, music, videogames, etc. But if all those things were invented 70 years before we were born, don't tell us that you wouldn't have been as addicted to them as we are to them today, and plus, were just adapting to the environment around us, if the tech that we grew up with today was never invented and we were stuck with having to tame horses and work on a farm, we probably would have adapted to that environment just as well as we adapted to the environment today. We probably would've been addicted to books, and 70's country music for all I know.

2018 parents: we didn’t have Xbox in our day, go in the garden or watch some TV!

1978 (our grandparents) parents: that TV will make your eyes square! Read a book or go outside!

1958 (G. Grandparents to grandparents): LISTENING TO THAT RADIO MAKE YOU DEAF!

(Credit to Nick C) 2000BC (ancient Chinese ancestors): OI, THOSE BOOKS ARE LAZY AND HURT YOUR EYES - TORTURE SOME PEOPLE OR SOMETHING!

It never changes.
