OK, Boomer

Generation Jones.

 

OK, Boomer.

(I keed, I keed.)

 

But we need cursive writing in schools!


Driftwood, I want to have a beer with you!

 

Any time. Any time.

 

I love Seinfeld.

 

A lengthy Twitter thread, but a good one.

"Gen Z has taken to calling Gen X — once a mere bystander in the generational wars — the "Karen generation," as in Karen, the middle-aged white mom who is always asking for the manager and wondering why kids are so obsessed with their identities.

Karens are generally "privileged from the system the boomers set up for them and [are] now acting entitled and working against Gen Z," explained Julia, a 23-year-old in Norway. "They’re usually racist, homophobic, and transphobic, don’t believe in vaccines or climate change, and are mostly also the parents of Gen Z children."

The stereotype, Julia said, is that Gen X fundamentally doesn't understand the causes that Gen Z cares about. Gen X'ers also have a tendency to "stand their ground and act like everybody else is wrong and they’re always right."

 

This Gen Xer to Gen Z: Meh.

 

As a Gen X poster boy, I can't say enough how every word of that is 180 degrees from my reality.

 

Yeah, on a closer look, this seems to be complete bullshit.

Edit: The piece, not your comment @Driftwood. I agree with you.

 

That girl probably doesn’t know what Generation X is and probably thinks it’s another term for “baby boomers.”

 

Gen Z is pretty orthodox. We’ve collectively raised them to be moral tyrants, pumping them full of hatred for our institutions to such a degree that...you’d better believe they’ll want to change them. And once they do...
