Current Events > What will the GenX vs GenZ generational war be about?

(+) Yeah! (+)

As it seems the Boomer vs Millennial war has only about a decade left in it before the Boomers die off, GenX becomes the new "Old Man Yells at Clouds" generation, and GenZ slowly move into adulthood, it seems the natural progression of the generation wars will shift to GenX vs GenZ.

My assumption will be GenX will brag about being the last generation that "grew up outside getting dirty and not stuck to a screen", will call GenZ soft for having no real experiences outside of their social media bubble, and being the "Participation Trophy Generation". GenZ will counter how they're the generation to finally embrace the differences in people all over the world, thanks to social media, and will blame GenX for making them soft "we didn't buy those trophies, YOU gave them to us to make yourselves feel better!"

The 2030's should be a wild decade.

Who cares

GenX stopped caring a long time ago. And we got some kids now, and they are doing well.

If anything we will just be amazed at that brief period of time we get without the Boomer cloud hanging above us.

Digital vs physical games.
Horizontal vs vertical video.

The fight for clean drinking water.

It leaked into GenZ

My kids are 17 and 14, and definitely got those participation trophies as younger kids.

I thought participation trophies was a millennial thing made by boomers
