        The boomer’s had everything better. That fashion works for me.

        But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.

        The only thing that’s really improved is people’s teeth.

          Because they inherited an economy with actual food and replaced it with “food” filled with industrial inventions like corn syrup

    It’s sad they got so much hate back the days. Their style was so awesome and different. I always admired that, but didn’t have the courage to go full emo and draw everybodys hate on me.

      Millennial fashion was pretty bad imho. From the emo look all the way down to the lumberjack look. All quite contrived and corny, but that’s just my opinion.

    This was like, 5% of millennials. Trust me, I was one of them. We got our asses kicked for dressing this way. Most everyone else either did “gangsta” style with low-hanging pants and Timberland boots/Jordans, or “preppy” style with a boring-ass polo shirt and khakis.

    I’ll paraphrase a twitter comment: man I did not give a single fuck about gen x as a millenial, these posts are so weird. Maybe we’re just more exposed to each other now because of social media

      I’m convinced that news outlets and big tech intentionally push ageism / generational-warfare to substitute for class warfare, and divert criticism away from capitalists.

      Like who decided to mark off these year ranges and put labels on them anyway, it’s completely arbitrary and meaningless.

    The Millenials laughing at Gen Z are the same Millenials who mocked emo/scene kids back then.
