      Yup as soon as I saw gen Z based I knew. 5-10 years ago this would have been the opposite, it’s always the generation of new adults that thinks they’re hip and cool while looking down on the “kids”. When I was younger we (millennials) all thought we were the coolest and made fun of gen Z for being cringe. Now gen Z thinks they’re cool but soon enough they’ll be old and lame too and gen Alpha will have the spotlight.

      Just wait till a kid hits you with “sir” for the first time and then looks at you weird when you insist you’re not that old.

        Do people still say “sir”? I have only heard it in movies and stuff.

    Generational warfare is pretty cringe. The chart isn’t even right, too. X was the highest percentage voting for trump generationally. I’m ashamed of my brethren.

    Gen Z is the most cringe since the boomers. Your shit is breaking down into farts.

        My mom’s dad was 10 in the 40s and was too young to serve, he was the silent generation. My dad’s dad was 20 in the 40s and served in the army, he was the greatest generation.

    Boomers and Gen X share the same cringe slot. Gen X’ers are always either behaviorally boomers, or completely aimless in life. Their generation never developed shared goals or values of their own.

    Silent Gen raised Gen X which raised Gen Z. Seems simple enough to me.

    Also, millennials are just Boomers replayed. Hippies are almost a mirror image of millennials. I totally can’t wait (sarcastic) for them to turn into yuppies (they already have) and become overtly materialistic to the point of robbing their own childrens’ futures to keep up with the rising cost of avocados.

      Toad, I would love to have all the advantages boomers had and I would gladly agree with you and chuckle and call myself a hypocrite BUT I CAN’T EVEN BUY A FUCKING HOUSE IN THIS ECONOMY.

        I can’t argue with that. But as a late Gen X, I graduated highschool at the time when my age was the wealthiest generation in human history. The politics that led us here is not just Boomers fault. Millennials, Gen X, and even the Silent Gen have blame here too. We were all too happy to see Clinton continue Reagan’s pandering and then felt shoehorned into most of this by the 911 attacks. The economy collapsed and then Bush’s policies totally saved us… for a few years. Then the recession hit and the Bush era legal changed wrecked our ability to regulate our government officials leaving us vulnerable to corporate slavery.

          Not a single millennial was old enough to vote for Clinton. Barely any were old enough to vote for Bush, even during his second term.

          Do not lump millennials in with that mess. We didn’t make it, we were just forced to grow up with it.

            I think that went right over your head. No one is blaming millennials here. That’s just the string of events that led us here. I didn’t say anywhere that millennials did any of that. Seriously you guys are just as easy to trigger as boomers.

        I got a silent Gen dad, and a boomer mom, and I am a younger Gen x. No, I’m definitely not. Most of Gen X had silent Gen parents. Most millennials had boomer parents. Obviously there is some bleed over.
