I use TikTok (I know…). There, when there’s rivalry, it is frequently ‘gen Z’ the one bullying ‘millennials’. They criticize the way they use technology, their fashion sense, their attitudes, their musical tastes, etc. Studies are noticing that ‘gen Z’ tend more to the right-wing, so I guess there’s a part of them also criticizing previous generations for being too leftists or whatever.
I use the quotation marks because this whole generational thing seems to me arbitrary and U.S.-centric. I’m in the years that are considered the transition between these two generations and I share characteristics with both. It’s silly how serious we’ve taken this thing.
I’ve noticed the same thing between many generations regardless of chronology. I’ve also noticed it outside of the us. I think the root issue is that groups of people want other groups of people to be angry at.
No war between the gens, no peace between the classes!
I’m part of the Oregon Trail generation, essentially the border between X and millennial.
I definitely try to do what the meme shows, but I had to post because I’m in my 40s and I recognize the meme because I have a 6 year old.
I’m going to start using that identifier 😂
Somebody called Skibidi toilet “the Generation Alpha’s first cultural contribution”.
Was that J.J. McCullough?
Gen alpha is using source film maker? I’m not down with latest machinina tech but that seems to me like millennials using vinyl. Rad.
SFM has been the patron saint of shitpost videos for decades. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that’s not easily replicated, you can always tell when something has been made in SFM and I think it’s become a part of the DNA of that subset of memes.
The zoomers are calling us cringe
It’s true, we’re so lame
It was supposed to be up to us 😭 My fellow millennials aren’t aging as gracefully as I had hoped.
Sharing skibidi toilet with everyone across the Fediverse - I’ve been doing my part! :-P (few have ever heard of it, even fewer like it, none understand it -> it’s perfect art!:-D)
Ugh the generations… I don’t even know which is my own. Every time the topic crops up people give me a different timeframe for each gen.
Anyways, interesting to see the zoomer holding a mate and termo. I wonder what the original cartoon was about
There’s no official time frame, so you’ll get different answers. Also, generations are somewhat arbitrary delineations that are defined by things other than age, particularly major events and themes that occurred in early life.
For example, it seems that “millennial” is congealing around 1981-1996, at least according to Wikipedia, but there’s still variance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenial#Date_and_age_range_definitions
Yeah, basically you’re a millennial if you’re currently in your 30’s. If you’re within a few years of that age, you may technically be a millennial, or even if not, you may still consider yourself a millennial, and that is fine. Generations are gradients, there is no firm start, or end, and as stated, is more about generalized experiences of your age group.
If you are 25 and want to call yourself a millennial, that’s fine, if you want to call yourself a gen z/zoomer, that’s fine too.
Nice meme
i disown and disavow all millennials who give zoomers a hard time
zoomers are fucking priceless
gen-α needs the strongest possible start and the best support we can offer
let’s NOT act like those FUCKING BOOMERS.
Zoomers are great and all, but their brains don’t seem to stay on for more than 20 consecutive seconds at times.
Isn’t this skibidi toilet stuff for Generation Alpha? The one after the zoomers?
Dear gen alpha… Skibidi toilet is s-tier shitposting, I appreciate your eye for fine art.
Baby Boomers as a generational cohort are well on their way to completely dying off and generational antagonism is a tool of the capitalist class to turn the workers of different ages against one another. Be better than that. Make better memes.
generational antagonism is a tool of the capitalist class to turn workers against each other
Isn’t that what this meme is about?
Generational antagonism predates capitalism by about 2 thousand years (of our recorded history)
This is now considered generational trauma. WTF?
What millennials pick on zoomers, where?
Picking on younger generations is healthy and natural: They’re still figuring stuff out and it’s a good way to give some teachings while everyone has a chuckle. What’s not healthy and natural is leaving them with neuroses where silent expectations, judgements, unwillingness to see their side etc. are the usual weapons: Don’t carry a dagger behind your back, doubly so don’t be unconscious of it, instead, open-carry a super soaker.
Said the dumbass craven bully who needs to pick on people weaker than themselves to feel better
So you wouldn’t pick a snowball fight with a whole primary school because you’re oh so moral, not because you’re scared. Makes sense.
Unlike you I do not, in fact, fear five-year-olds. And it’s not because of fear or principle. It is because I am not a craven, sadistic lunatic.
I shall look forward towards your experience report picking that snowball fight with a whole primary school, then. Also primary school is like 6-10, at least over here. They can throw.
I don’t have a problem with zoomers, but I will make fun of them for using TikTok. It’s an unhealthy social environment. I know a zoomer who struggles with tiktok addiction and always does more poorly after using that app. They’ve been braver and kinder since they quit it.
So instead of building a better platform for them, you denigrate them for conforming to the world you left behind for them.
You are exactly the boomer you claim to hate
So if they’re not going to save the world, nothing they ever do amounts to anything. Worse, the whole thing worked (the Zoomer quit Tiktok and they feel better now) so that was obviously bad.
And now, and please do mind that has nothing to do with age: Your argument is dumb and you should feel bad. In fact the first thing is Boomer talk, the shit they tried to get us with. Fuck that.
Feel free to waste your time beating up that strawman all you like; the rest of us have actual important shit to do.
At some point further down in your life you’re going to look back, in regret, thinking “Why did I become the me version of Ben Shapiro”.
They don’t know how to use the shift key to make capital letters. They are lost.
Jesus Christ, and when boomers say the same about you, you have the nerve to act like a victim
I’m not a fan of the tiktok Insta influencer culture and communicating in 90% emojis but other than that it’s all good.
I mean skibidi toilet is more cultural critique than just a meme.
