Millennials horrified by vicious insults from younger generation: ‘Why are they so furious at us?'
Yahoo ^ | June 15, 2020 | Kelsey Weekman

Each generation has its own stereotype. Baby Boomers are known for being technologically challenged and intolerant to change. Millennials are apparently overly sensitive and kill everything. Gen Z is known for its obsession with social media and lack of focus. According to the American Psychological Association, these stereotypes are often wrong, and can even be harmful in an age-diverse workplace. Generally, there is tension between the youngest and oldest generations in a shared space, like Gen Z and “Boomers,” but the latest battle in the generational wars is between Gen Z and millennials, Twitter user local__celeb uncovered a series of TikTok comments in which younger users roasted the generation ahead of them.

LMAO!!! The good thing about being a Xer is we are ignored so one can just sit, relax, and enjoy the intergenerational destruction.

I’m a Boomer and like most Boomers, we don’t care what anyone thinks.

Gen X is about the only generation I respect. Technically, I’m a Boomer (tail end) but I’ve always wanted to be Gen X.

Dittos on your boomer comment. I think if the Millennials would cut off the flow of funds to misguided youjnger genertions, there would be a sudden turn around.

I'm a Gen X'er too. Our biggest culpability in this mess is that we did a terrible job raising the Millennials.

The only group as a whole that are lazier and feel more entitled than Millenials are the Z’s.

I’m a Boomer and I don’t give a rat’s hind leg what anyone thinks, especially some punk kid. I’m told off some mouthy little black Muslim female I work with when she was going on about how ‘’peaceful’’ Islam is. I told “Everything I need I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11’’.

Her friend who was with her and isn’t a Muslim and is one of this younger generation damn near fainted dead away. I fully expected to lose my job. So far I’m still working.

I was born immediately after the boomer gen but don’t consider myself an X - I’ve always thought of myself as a Trough kid

I don’t give a **** what anyone says. I live civil life and bother no one on purpose. If they give me an unreasonable hard time, I’m on them double. That’s one of the things I like about President Trump.

Hell, Muslims kill other Muslims like it is the 5th pillar of Islam. Even Muslims talk about it.

“Researchers and popular media typically use birth years around 1965 to 1980 to define Generation Xers, although some sources use birth years beginning as early as 1960 and ending somewhere from 1977 to 1985.”


Total Gen X, here.

Long live the Family Ties/Saved by the Bell generation!

I wasn’t giving this kid anything. I was sitting in our break room and she just was going on and on. Finally I’d had enough and shut her up.

It’s been downhill for ethics, morals, and general intellectual value since Caesar Augustus kicked the bucket.

Anyone not functioning as a full adult by 17 or 18, including paying rent or mortgage and paying their way should *NEVER* be considered an adult or ever allowed to vote.

I was born in ‘64 near NYC and identify as an X’er even though I’m in that cusp.

My childhood, maybe because of where I grew up, was much more aligned with a typical Xer experience than Boomer.

I married a Boomer and there are times we do not get each other AT ALL . lol.
