I am a zoomer school teacher in a room of alphas this resonates for me.
it me fr
Of course I can only speak for my zoomer friend group, and things can always change as we age, but I feel like the prevailing opinion of ours for the kids is pity. Like the contradictions and crisis that have made our last decade shit are only going to get worse for them. Here's hoping we don't continue the war.
Generations are a fuck but also you've gotta be in your twenties at the oldest, you don't get to be almost Kids These Days. You are kids these days.
The oldest zoomers are like 28, ten years after legal adulthood definitely qualifies them for a Kids These Days license
The oldest millennial is 50 or so and I'm in my early 30s, generations are nonsense and it's generally bad to generalize based around the oldest of a made uo demographic regardless.
50 is still gen x territory I think, oldest millenials are ~40
To me there mark of the millennial is spending all/almost all of their entire working life in the wake of the financial crisis. These are the folks for whom the American dream was dead on arrival. A 50 year old would have been born in 74 and so 34 in '08 and started their career in the 90s, they probably felt a glimmer of hope at some point
They got fucked hard actually since they're the ones who saw their home equity collapse, got laid off mid career etc
50 is definitely gen x
I fart on all generations
I thought GenX owned detached cynicism.
Is this shit just in a cycle?
X-ers are cynical chauvinists. Zoomers are cynical nihilists.
We call it absurdism thank you
Ok boomer
At least in my friend group, we actively talk about killing cynicism in ourselves
Gen alpha will not make it to adulthood
Isn’t Gen alpha the same as the zoomers
No the zoomers are adults now, alphas boutta hatch
No, it's the next one, gen Z then starting again with a...
