Personally, I think it would be great if millennials broke the cycle of hating the generation that came after them, but that probably won't happen.

Well the problem is that this time the next generation started it. Plently of zoomers despise millennials. Might be down to the theory of identity detachment someone posted earlier, but it is what it is. Millennials are already used to being hated by boomers for no reason, so getting antagonized by their bratty kid brother too isn't going to be easily tolerated.

The second a zoomer shits on me for being a millennial I'm spamming the smartphone generation/etc. stuff at them. I really wish it could be avoided though.

This could've been avoided if our generation didn't suddenly decide that hazing was "too mean "

Generations always hate the ones that came before and come after. It's no big deal.

Debatable.

Intentionaly trying to look out of touch probably won't do you any favors. They'd probably just make fun of you more.

consider this instead: generational divides are mostly made-up and we gain nothing by demonizing any entire group of people based on immutable characteristics

Idk I think social media & no memory of the world pre-9/11 has made gen Z pretty uniquely awful. Millennials have such a hang-up about being the bad guy because boomers scapegoated us for so long but I think it's better for everyone to realize that boomers' criticisms weren't really wrong - they just didn't really take any accountability for the rot being on their part.

I'm a late millennial and honestly the biggest difference I see between me and zoomers is that zoomers got into smartphones and apps while they were still in elementary or middle school while we only got them in (late) high school or college. And increasingly computers are getting changed out for tablets in schools to teach with - all I know is that tablet and smartphone literacy is basically useless in the conventional workplace.

Otherwise, zoomers have pretty much just been exposed to the culture that late millennials were getting in their 20's in their teens. Which I wouldn't really wish on them, since most of that culture has been largely negative and definitely not very constructive.

They're spoiled brats tho. I don't need to be out of touch with something to point out an obsession with it. It's not like how boomers just don't understand certain things.

Hmm. I guess it's true that millennials didn't assert any authority on zoomers. Oh well.

I don't remember millennials hating on 20something gen Xers when we were teenagers. This is a weird new thing.

Trump was a perfect microcosm of Boomer mentality.

Overconfident, inept, in a position of authority he neither deserved nor has the skills to perform competently, and willing to do anything to keep it. Blames everyone but himself for his own failures. Yells a lot for no reason.

As a Cusper between the two, both have obvious flaws but millennials are more annoying

I'm not taking any shit from zoomers. Especially when they ate tide pods and have now introduced the stupid shit that is the Aldagan challenge (don't google that).

Ah, self hating millennials. Self hatred is even dumber than generational hatred.

Nah, too many millennials complaining about the things zoomers like and then grouping them all together (such as tide pods) and the like. I'm a millennial and I've seen the whole "90s kids" bit and then complaining "JUST BECAUSE YOU SAW IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A 90S KID!" bs that keeps happening.

Its one of those weird ways people are gloating just because you were born at whatever time. If anything, we instigated their annoyance over us.

This self hate is pathetic. Hope the zoomers see it.
