Millenials just though they would be the ones to break the pattern, due to their 'superior empathy'.

Dunno why.

But going by TC's example, that would just mean the millennials are being hated alongside Zoomers, not that millennials are doing the hating.

No I think it's stupid. Gen Z and Alpha has worse material prospects than we do. It's a waste of time hating on the generations that came after us.

Remember, Millennials interact with Gen Zers far more often than any previous generation has interacted with the next because we're both very internet focused generations.

Vietnam vets were (in)famously unappreciated back then because of anti-war sentiment I think. Are you familiar with this song?

Doesn't surprise me. Probably also claims to be a Christian while doing the opposite of the golden rule.

Older generations show hate to Zoomers too (maybe mostly) but Millennials definitely take part in it. Just look at this board

Every generation thinks every generation before and after is worse, so nothing has really changed.

Gen Z is kinda drastically different than the last two though so it's just getting more attention.

a number of older zoomers cut their teeth in the same wild west internet cultures as their millennial peers, albeit in the 2000s

I've seen people poking fun at their slang, I haven't seen people do what the older generations do and call them lazy, entitled, say they deserve every misery that comes to them, that they could have their own place if they just pulled themselves up by the bootstraps, that they're pampered snowflakes (this is projection from the boomers, btw) and so forth.

That definitely still happens. Still see a bunch of people calling them lazy, spend all day on the phone, don't contribute to society, useless, so on.

Basically this.

Eventually the GenZ's children will blame the Millennials for all their problems.

Only difference is, where Millennials blamed Boomers for creating the problems, GenZ Jr. will blame Millennials for not doing enough to fix the mess that the generations before them created.

Kinda like what GenZ is doing with GenX. Boomers are dying off, so there's not enough of them to blame, so the shift now is to blaming the 45-55 year old GenXers for being complacent when Boomers were creating all the problems.

Gen X are just observers. Any attempt to blame them or Millennials will backfire. Boomers are far from dying and the Joneser sub-groups are only just retiring now. Boomers are going out of their way to deny agency to the younger generations.

Not at all. I actively strive against this societal and generational abuse/tradition of shitting on the younger generations for seemingly no other reason than being young and new or bitter because it was done to them when they were the young and new generation.

Boomers are 1946-1964, making the oldest Boomers 77 and the youngest around 60.

We're about a decade away from them all being dead or retired. By then, any wealth and property they have will be passed on to their GenX and Millennial children.

And, naturally, the "haves" always get all the blame from the "have nots".

Boomers ruined it while Gen Xers by your own admission allowed it to happen. Millennials actually picked up the slack a little but Gen Z is being the most proactive in fixing the shit boomers fucked if we're being honest

Exactly, which is why I said as the Boomers die off, GenX will be next in line to blame for everyone's shortcomings.

And then in 30 years when GenZ's kids are still struggling, they'll blame the GenXers that are dying off along with Millennials that "didn't do enough" to fix the problem.

And the cycle will just keep going.

Gen X is the smallest generation of them all. Exactly how were they supposed to overpower the Boomers during the Boomer's own heyday?
