Not understanding and not approving of it are two different things. Millennials love our quirky/scary younger siblings, and I won’t hear otherwise.

    Yeah Zoomers are great and I can even get down with some of Gen X.

    The hate is for boomers only.

    We Gen X is just the lost ones in the transition, or so I feel.

    To me it's more that about half bought into the system and became the same as the boomers.

    Totally. I know a lot of people my age that have forgotten why they voted for Clinton, Gore, and Obama, and are now all in on Trump and actively making the world a shittier place.

    Meanwhile, I started out as a libertarian-leaning Republican in the early 90s, and I'm now an anarchist.

    Damn right! I was jealous of these kids who had the courage to express themselves how they wanted and explore their identities outside of what was deemed "socially acceptable" back then, and I will fight tooth and nail for kids to be able to do the same today, even if I don't exactly understand what's "it" nowadays.

    I'm almost 40 and sometimes I feel like the only thing I can identify as is a dick. So I try to put that to use for the benefit of others, be a dick to an asshole, save a pussy.

    Be the change you want to see in the world!

    I decided one day that I was gonna try growing my hair out, as I had it basically buzzed my entire life. I went from that to now having a ponytail so long that it reaches the small of my back (when it's not in a ponytail I have to be careful that it doesn't get caught when I put on pants or sit down), and along the way I inspired boys I worked with to try growing their hair out on multiple occasions. One didn't like how his hair basically turned into an afro and cut it, one has been rocking a shoulder-length viking-esque look for about 8 years now, and the last looks so much like white Jesus that Catholics do a double-take just to make sure the Rapture hasn't happened.
