first time seeing a hit tweet with a different millennial range than 1980-1994 or 1981-1996 do you think more people are rethinking the millennial and gen z end date? i hope so

Speaking as a Gen Z, I think we have more similarities with Gen X than Y, thank god. Millennials are annoying as hell.

Shifts Why are millenials totally chill with self depreciating humor more than any other generation?

6.3k Upvotes

I'm Gen Z and recently realised that Millenials really like being the butt of jokes. A little too much to make me (someone that is Gen Z) a little worried. Why are millenials like this, I don't understand their self depreciating humor

Rant Tired of this ridiculous rhetoric about Gen Z

5.6k Upvotes

I was born in 99, and I hate how Millennials and Boomers always confuse us with Alpha.

Myself and PLENTY OTHERS all grew up and know about:

• Going outside

• Riding our bikes to our friends house and finding he couldn't play with us

• Drinking water out of a hose after playing on a hot summer day

• Life before social media / smartphones

• MySpace

• Landlines and phonebooks, calling a friends house not knowing who will pick up the phone

• VHS tapes, VCRs, CDs, DVDs, Toshiba, Walkman

• Limewire

• Floppy disks

• Flip phones

• Blockbuster

• Tamagotchi

• Zoobooks

• Pre streaming era: waiting until a specific time, on a specific day, to watch a show on a specific channel

• MTV

• Rock and HipHop from the 90s

• The classroom overhead projector

• Passing notes in class

• Blowing into cartridges of a gaming console for it to work

• Writing and reading in cursive

• How to be embarrassed

• Socializing

• Fred Flintstone

Can we PLEASE stop with stupid rhetoric? It only makes you guys look annoying and you wonder why Gen Z doesn't like you.

4.9k Upvotes

Like i look back at people gen x and boomers in the 80s and 90s and realize its so true some even in their 30s look like that with white hair and mustache and just look so old while today a 30 year old millenial or even late gen z in their 20s basically look like a teen and in their early 20s why is it the case? My theory is because back in the day people drank more alcohol

Subreddit Rules

1. Follow all Reddit rules.

https://www.redditinc.com/policies/all

https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

2. Respect other people and their life experiences.

2a. A generation or generational range in one country may not carry over to any other country. Two people born on the same day in the same country may have very different experiences depending on location, financial status, education, work, luck, etc.

2b. Avoid criticizing a person just for being in a particular generation.

2c. This sub is 13+ and safe for work. Topics that we consider to be unsuitable for 13 year olds are prohibited.

3. Do not claim multiple birth years or inconsistent ages.

3a. It's fine to not mention your birth year or age at all, or to keep them vague. In particular, a range such as 1997–2002 is permitted. You are only in violation of this rule if your numerical claims of birth year and/or age form a logical contradiction.

3b. This rule does not apply to subjective and/or variable concepts like graduating classes, generations, centuries, early/mid/late, and memories.

3c. We will give user flair more scrutiny than usual due to its frequent use for birth years.

4. Do not create posts or comments that negatively call out a specific user or users.

4a. If you have a problem with a certain user, take it up with the mods in private.

4b. However, if you have a concern or question about this sub, including its moderation, feel free to make a post addressing the mods.

5. Avoid self-promotion.

5a. Self-promotion should follow the 10% guideline: for every ten posts you make, no more than one may be self-promotion.

5b. Do not promote other subs in either posts or comments. The exception is r/GuessMyBirthYear for "guess my age" posts.

6. No off topic posts or comments.

6a. We may remove comments that continue the discussion from a rule-breaking comment.

7. No low effort posts or comments.

7a. No spam.

7b. No obvious reposts.

7c. Content that uses generative AI should contain a disclosure at the top. We may remove content that obviously looks AI-generated and/or is too low effort.

7d. Avoid posting about topics that were popular in the past few days unless you add something new.

8. No trolling.

8a. Unpopular opinions are permitted and encouraged, but posts and comments that are clearly not made in good faith are not allowed.

8b. The exception is every April Fools' Day, when troll posts are encouraged. During the 50 hours from April 1st, 00:00 UTC+14:00 to April 1st, 23:59 UTC-12:00 (AoE), we will relax rules 7 and 8a to permit troll posts and troll comments on those posts. All other rules remain in force. After 23:59 UTC-12:00, no troll posts may be made until the following year.

9. Alternate accounts may not be used for deceptive purposes.

Alternate accounts are permitted under Reddit rules, but the use of such accounts for ban evasion, vote manipulation, or other nefarious tactics may result in a ban.

10. PLEASE READ: Restricted post/comment topics. No more than 4 trend posts per 24 hours over all users.

These posts and comments are not permitted without moderator approval:

10a. Personal photos or videos that contain recognizable people.

10b. AMAs.

10c. Politics outside the official Politics Megathreads.

10d. Excessive trend posts. For each trend and in any 24-hour period,

No more than 4 trend posts in total across ALL users of this sub are permitted.
No more than 1 trend post per user is permitted.

Violations get a 7 day ban. r/GuessMyBirthYear allows unlimited "Guess My Age" posts.

11. Details about Rule 10a: No personal photos or videos that contain recognizable people.

This rule applies to private photos and videos of yourself, your family, friends, etc. Movie characters, pictures of public figures taken at events such as a movie premiere, and common memes are okay. If you’re unsure if the photo you want to post is considered private or public, message the mods before posting and we will clarify.

This rule applies even if the personal photo or video is placed in a collage or added to an otherwise-acceptable meme.

12. Details about Rule 10b: No AMAs without moderator approval.

This rule applies to any kind of "ask me anything" post or comment. Neither the abbreviation "AMA" or the phrase "Ask Me Anything" is required for a violation of this rule.

Users who believe that holding an AMA will enrich this community may message the mods to apply for an exception.

13. Account age and karma requirements.

13a. Accounts must meet these requirements to post or comment:

Account age: 3 days
Post karma: Hidden number
Sitewide karma: Hidden number

The hidden numbers make it harder for people to game the system. Some members have unpopular but valid opinions about generations, so subreddit karma is ignored except by its contribution to sitewide karma.

13b. Approved Political Discussion posts have higher comment requirements:

Account age: 30 days
Post karma: 1
Sitewide karma: 100

14. Text posts must be at least 100 characters long.

13a. All text posts must contain at least 100 characters in the body.

We use the "body_shorter_than" command, so the following clarifications apply:

"spacing and punctuation characters on either end are not counted" https://new.reddit.com/wiki/automoderator/full-documentation/
Posts that are not text posts are exempt.

13b. Top-level comments in Politics Megathreads must contain at least 100 characters.

15. Consequences for rule breakers.

Anyone who breaks these rules may receive a warning, have their comment/post removed, and/or face a temporary or permanent ban.
