It stopped at millenials though. God damn 5g or wifi or something made gen z and alpha age like milk.

    Aged people from those generations don’t exist. You know, because of how age works… it’s the difference between the birth year and the current year. No gen z is over 30. No gen alpha is an adult. I am disturbed this needs to be pointed out.

    Ok, I googled that, and I lost a few precious minutes of my life, and I found out that this is something that there are some trash articles written about, all just echoing that people online say this or search for this, but it doesn’t really mean anything or has any basis in reality. Thanks.

    Some say they fear their generation is aging more quickly than others. But as Gen Z-ers enter their late 20s, it’s more likely that they are simply getting older.

    Wow!

    Brother, I was hoping people could see it was a joke comment if I started it off with 5g and wifi giving people health issues

    Nah, Gen Z's thing is mostly fashion sense because they're essentially cultural archeologists in a lot of respects. Gen Z does make new stuff, but a lot of what they do is also remixing old stuff and dusting it off and trying it out again too. And some of that shows in their fashion sense where they're often mixing stuff that makes them look like my Dad with stuff that makes them look like my Grandpa.

    It's sort of like how names like Gertrude and Agatha and stuff are starting to make a come back. A lot of the younger crowds never met those old people and got the associated "that's an old person name" cultural alignment. To them, it's just a nice sounding string of syllables.

    Seemed like when I was a kid people just gave up on being attractive and settled into old age around 40. Now that I'm 55 I'm often surprised how many people there are like me who didn't just let themselves go.
