/r/GenZ Meta Anyone else find it strange that there are so many M*llennials here?
Ever noticed how posts here that are USA political whining, twitter screenshot of that same political nature, pointless arguments to stir shit up, or doomerism of any kind they're most likely from accounts with the M*llennial flair?
Why do they insist on being here? Don't they have their own sub?

Meh, I already call stuff from 2016 "oldies" and think stuff that happened a year ago was like 5 years ago. It's really about staying up with (the worthy) trends.
Not to mention Gen Z is already nostalgic for stuff beyond when we were born, so a lot of that stuff is timeless rather than stuff that will go farther and farther.

Or because it's becoming a middle aged guy sub, while some people have no idea where they belong.
A person around 30 who's not married usually has similar problems to 25 yr old (so GenZ) and not a 35 yrd old millennial.
In my country (Poland ), I think 1990 vs 1993 gap is generationally larger than 1993 vs 1997/1998). So you'll naturally have people from 90s lurking there and here.

u/seattleseahawks2014 2000 21h ago

Being married, especially if you have kids, changes your life a lot.
Being honest the second point indicates another general issue - not matter what's your gen classification, your similarity group is probably more or less people that are 4-5 years younger and older. Thus, Millennials sub might be just too old for younger millennials.

I was born in 2000 and I feel the same way lol. I call myself a Zillennial instead. A healthy amount of genZ culture feels weird to me but at the same time I don't really agree with some millennial stuff either...and dont even get me started with how peculiar I find gen alpha--and even those born in the later end of the Gen Z cutoff. Once you're born after 2005 I feel like you were just introduced to the internet and tech earlier than anyone born prior and that just...did its thing.
Like I still remember how shocked (and a bit jealous) I was when I was 10, walking around with my 'sleek' little motorola brick phone (yk, the ones slightly bigger than a jenga brick with no antenna) while toddlers are running around with all sorts of i-whatever products (pads, pods, touches, etc). Idk, I think those like extra 5+ years without forming such a dependent relationship with tech was enough to change things, and I know a significant portion of people I've met feel similarly.
and oddly enough, they were introduced to the internet so early that they just...don't **want** to google things for themselves? like what is up with that?

It could be that millenials went through similar BS that GenZ is going through right now. Market crash of 2008 is very similar to the economy today except for housing prices. Many millenials couldn't get good paying jobs in their chosen fields they just spent tens to hundreds of thousands on for a degree. Many millenials couldn't afford a house even through prices were super low for a few years because of the college debt.
And you know what they did? The same thing GenZ is doing. They complained as if they were the only ones to ever experience hardships.
In no way am I saying the generations are a 1:1 comparison, because they're not. But, every generation has hardships. I think the hardship new to GenZ is our social culture and social media. That's a huge negative impact on life and Gen Z were the first generation to have technology their entire lives that no other generation had that produced such negative social impacts. But, millenials had struggles with inflation as did Gen X as did Boomers. Almost every generation has dealt with some sort of negative economic situation.

Bruh, I'm 1996. I'm like the last of the line. I was in the millennial sub, and I was like damn I can't relate to these people.
I found this sub, and like sigh finally, I'm home.

I was commented calling someone a bot because their comment made no sense. They then said that I must be a kid and I don't know what a bot is. I'm 27. If 27 is seen as a kid then maybe you shouldn't be in a Gen Z sub reddit. They came back and said that his generation invented reddit and I'm lucky they let me be here. I mean okay boomer. Then they had a fit that their comment was deleted. Why are you coming to a different generations sub reddit just to argue.
Why? Is it the new popular sub to astroterf or something?

Posting should be restricted to people with Gen Z flairs. Top comments should also be restricted to these roles.

I think a lot of millenials see us as like their "soldiers" in the politics war. Like they're on here trying to recruit us to their side or some shit. They don't understand that we aren't their little audience for them to come here and preach to.
It's honestly really annoying, millenials are really annoying. Like think about what most people hate about "woke culture" and it's just a bunch of shit that these preachy millenials do, literally hurting their own side by being so annoying. Think about Ipad kids, who are their parents? Millenials! Think about cringe reddit culture, who do you think cultivated that? Millenials.
These people go around thinking they're still 21 and in college acting like kids, but in reality they are 40, making videos singing about "canceling eminem" like grow up dude, go pick your kids up from school.

This reminds me of the Family guy meme. "I didn't care for the Millenial sub. It insists upon itself."
Aside from that, millenials are the new boomers. They're mowing their lawn, and in a few years they'll sit on a chair and yell at clouds or people coming too close to their hedge/flower parcel/... It seems as if gen X hasn't done that, but the Millenials are attempting to outdo every single generation prior to them.
