Boomers vs millennials is out, now it’s millennials vs gen z
Facebook post
For the first part of the rise of the Internet, boomers and millennials have been at it for their dissenting points of view in life, economy, environment, disconnection with technology and current events and basically everything.
But now that most millennials are way into adulthood territories, the battle has displaced the boomers as rivals and now are gen z individuals dragging millennials for similar things that millennials criticized boomers just a few years ago. Millennials are born between 1981 and 1996, like me, and Gen Z was born between 1997 and 2012.
New it social media, TikTok is where young people are taking jabs at millennials, particularly making fun for the love for wine, Buzzfeed quizzes, and inability to do basic adult tasks. Other topics are outrage for disrespecting their Harry Potter houses while living in overpriced shoeboxes, overpriced dining and food items (avocado toast) and inability to move past old times gone (the 90’s), with some calling for millennials to be cancelled for their inability to have changed things. The posts have since gone viral on other social media platforms.
The millennial generation happened during hard times in the economy, with most becoming young adults during a financial crisis. The Occupy Wall Street movement seemed like a promising bid for change, but fizzled out without much of an impact and social and environmental problems have been on the rise, so seeking comfort in childhood memories while knowing most to be ill prepared to be adults, was a natural response. But some millennials have not taken these criticisms lightly and have been accused by gen z people of turning into their boomer parents.
