Seems like bottom right should be genx rather than millennials but I guess we had emos so maybe that tracks

    Gen Y had suicide jokes for a while now with similar looks from boomers. Meme feels more like passing the torch to Gen Z as they're starting to do it too.

    IIRC, Gen-X was the first generation in the US with a suicide epidemic.

    EDIT: Nope. It's officially Gen-Z's title. Congrats?

    I think millennials in the military had it first. The military couldn't figure out why fighting pointless wars was causing more of their members to commit suicide.

    In the eighties, there were a lot of news reports about the high and climbing rates of suicide in teens, whixh led to my original comment. After a little research, it turns out that Gen-X is having a suicide problem now.

    So if both Gen-X and their kids (Gen-Z) are committing suicide now, is it really a generational thing, or is it just that today sucks really hard?
