No, Gen Z are even more idiotic in all the Millennial ways.

People don’t hate generations. They hate individual people. The whole thing is a goofy media game.

My response to “OK, Boomer” is always “OK, Doomer.”

Well, buying pre-ripped denim IS stupid, and phony too. It’s one thing to get rips in your jeans from actual use, like work, and quite another to spend extra money to buy them already torn up.

I remember in the 1960s kids wore blue jeans covered in all sorts of patches, but they still had no notion of wearing pants full of rips and tears. If blue jeans got too bad they’d just make the pants into cutoff shorts.

Ripped denim? That’s been a thing every decade since the 60s. There is a picture of me in my HS yearbook circa 1976 with the most ripped denim you’ve ever seen. I’ve seen ripped denim at different times in stores ever since.

Poor Millennials, the first generation in the history of the human race to have problems. I do feel for them. Maybe there’s an app for that.

I suppose there are differences and there will be divisions, but if you're not a millennial or a post-millennial it's hard to see the differences. Generations, like decades, don't seem to be as sharply divided or separated in this century as they were in the last.

If you don't have different points of reference for each generation - if there aren't sharp differences in music, fashion, politics, etc. - "us" and "them" can be harder to sort out. Or maybe the big political divide in the country makes generational divisions less significant.

I have had the "OK Boomer" line dropped on me online and I am solidly in the middle of the Gen X group. We were talking about climate change and most of these kids are brainwashed into complete adherence to the climate alarmism and couldn't deal with facts and criticism of the ideology from someone with a science and technology background.

"When it comes to race, younger generations are more likely to say that people of color are treated less fairly than whites in the United States today, and believe an increase in racial and ethnic diversity in the U.S. is a good thing for society, while older generations are less convinced."

Maybe because we have "been there and done that". We've been doing affirmative action since before I was born and it hasn't satisfied the perpetually aggrieved. I have seen lots of diversity with plenty of Indians, Chinese, and other Asian imports in management. The problem is that culturally American minorities too often take the aggrieved perspective that somehow they are owed and don't work for it. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the color/sex/creed of the person is doing the work it matters that the work is done and done well.

Any chance that both groups will grow-up and start acting and thinking responsibly?
