So, here's what Gen Z had to accidental astir their somewhat older net siblings:
1. "As a Gen Z'er, I consciousness a beauteous beardown consciousness of camaraderie with millennials. We person an understanding, you know? Similar situation and struggles, each of america victims of a damaged system, struggling successful solidarity, etc."

6. "I'm not definite due to the fact that I deliberation I autumn successful the middle, being some millennial and Gen Z. But honestly, younger millennials are truly not that antithetic than older Gen Z successful presumption of interests, lifestyle, and hobbies, arsenic good arsenic childhood. I bash deliberation older millennials are a small narcissistic and ne'er truly grew up, but that's conscionable my ain bias from my experiences with my older siblings and friends who were calved successful the '80s."
7. "I poke amusive astatine millennials for their 'millennialisms' — similar making songs retired of virtually everything mundane oregon saying things similar 'OMG this' and Blink-182 references — but overall, I don't actively hatred millennials."
8. "The lone existent quality betwixt Gen Z and millennials is the media we grew up watching. We are successful the aforesaid economical position, we thin the aforesaid ways politically, and we were fed and saw done each the aforesaid lies. It's virtually conscionable what shows we watched and wherever we watched them arsenic kids that's different. Before anybody says slang, that worldly changes dozens of times wrong each generation. The connection quality betwixt older Gen Z and younger Gen Z is conscionable arsenic large arsenic betwixt millennials and Gen Z."
9. "In my opinion, I spot the generations arsenic benignant of similar this: top procreation leads to boomers leads to millennials leads to Gen Alpha. Silent procreation leads to Gen X leads to Gen Z. I deliberation millennials stock a batch of similarities (for amended oregon worse) with boomers. Both had ample protestation cultures that gave mode to a benignant of astir hedonism earlier a crash. For boomers, it was the '60s summertime of emotion and protests against Vietnam, followed by the greed-is-good '80s. With millennials, determination was the Occupy Wall Street and Obama anticipation culture, positive the sleazy indie enactment civilization successful Brooklyn and LA. The lone quality is millennials got perfectly screwed implicit by the recession and person been getting screwed ever since."

There are immoderate millennials who marque hating Gen Z their full property trait, but who cares really."
14. "Millennials are mostly fine. We stock a batch of the aforesaid struggles. But the 'doggo' cutesy babe dependable happening and reasoning that making exaggerated facial expressions to chipmunked audios is comic volition ever marque maine privation to curl up into a shot and implode into a good mote of dust. But that's not each of y'all."
15. "Millennials truly look to beryllium horrible parents, raising children that cipher wants to beryllium around. So galore children of millennials look precise intellectually stunted, behaviorally challenged, excessively defiant, tech-addicted, and socially inept. There is nary mode that each azygous 1 of these 30-something's kids I've seen has autism and/or ADHD. Maybe you're the problem. Kids from regular households look to person issues I utilized to lone spot successful children going done maltreatment oregon neglect. You enactment your information astatine hazard by babysitting these kids. Do better, guys. You of each radical should cognize however incorrect it is to springiness net entree to your child, yet they each person phones and tablets. And, you inactive plaster pictures of them each implicit societal media. At slightest Gen X has the excuse of not knowing however that worldly works."

Some truly can't archer the quality betwixt idiosyncratic my property and idiosyncratic calved successful 2008. Many besides consciousness the request to springiness opinions that ooze with a superiority analyzable connected definite Gen Z topics. I spot millennials successful YouTube comments saying astir of america are aging rapidly due to the fact that we ne'er had a childhood. They'd accidental that adjacent if they thought we were aging slowly. Then, it'd be, 'Gen Z'ers ne'er played outside, truthful that's wherefore they don't person arsenic galore scars and wrinkles arsenic erstwhile generations. Their faces are stunted.' It's conscionable bias. Other than this, I looked up to my younger millennial cousins erstwhile I was a kid. I deliberation of my puerility arsenic being person to precocious millennials than younger Gen Z'ers."
