You couldn't of been more accurate and true if you tried. Well done, I tip my hat to you.

@Southforthewinter Friendster was more of a Gen X thing. MySpace was and will probably always be the first social media platform that Millennials discovered and took full advantage of. If you remember Tom as your friend, then you are a Millennial.

@kimberleysmith4219 I stopped using Twitter. Never bothered with TikTok. Trust me, your life will be a lot better and fulfilling if you remove Twitter and TikTok permanently.

@90skidcultist As someone who was born in the mid 1980s, I can tell you right now you are NOT a Millennial. You may act like one, you may like what Millennials did, but you are a Zoomer. That's like me trying to say I'm a Gen X dude even though I'm far off the mark. I will agree there is more of a distinction between Gen X and Millennials than there is with Millennials and Zoomers.

@mindoablues I miss early 00s internet as well. Was awesome while it lasted.

@Living_Dead_Girrl Gen X was the MTV generation. They helped pioneer the style of humor and juvenile comedy Beavis & Butthead made popular. I've spoken with many Gen X individuals and they say they aren't affected by jokes being slightly offensive. They came up with it was okay to be politically incorrect. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Tupac Shakur, two members of Gen X, couldn't give a fuck less what other people thought of them. And that is the main reason why I still respect them, even decades after their deaths. Most of my idols are from Gen X, including the grunge bands of the 1990s and the alternate bands that made up most of the 90s and early 2000s. Napster was more of a Gen X thing. That was the first time in history where the idea of torrents first came to fruition. YouTube was the first platform where Millennials were able to take advantage of torrented and pirated content, completely free. That's why I think every movie and TV series on here that you have to pay money to watch is practically useless. It's never been more easy to find torrents of your favorite shows and movies, all free of charge and without spending money. What Gen Z is getting is honestly not that much different than what Millennials went thru back in the mid - late 2000s and early 2010s. Only they're more brainwashed and diluted. Gen Alpha will likely be the first generation to utilize robots with advanced computer AI. If Millennials are the pioneers in digital technology, Gen Z and Gen Alpha will be utilizing robotic technology that we helped propel forward. You think a reality like Detroit: Become Human won't happen? Think again, because that is the direction we are heading.

@GenerationX1984 Reagan also got rid of mental homes, and raised taxes numerous times. NAFTA, the agreement that convinced many corporations to ship work labor overseas for cheap, got its start in the Reagan era. The Yuppie Boomers of that time did irreparable damage to the US economy. Yet here we are as Millennials just trying to scrape by, hoping that at some point we can leave behind a legacy.

@GenerationX1984 We can’t even afford garbage campers. I see Boomers in their late 60s and 70s driving on the freeway with new campers. Most Millennials who love the outdoors would do much to get one of those.

@TomikaKelly Most people are lucky to settle for jobs that enable them to get off Friday and start work Monday. The 40 hour work week doesn’t exactly cut it anymore. We are beginning to regress back to those horrible work weeks that our grandparents were forced to put up with all those decades ago. It is good that you are making six figures, but know that a lot of people aren’t getting anywhere near this amount. From what I hear you really had to work hard to earn that much, because frankly anyone making that much has to put in the time and effort. I gave up computing. I do some software stuff on the side, but that’s not my actual job. Did video games for a while and gave that up as well. Getting into a trade and getting the proper training is probably the best path for young men today.

@Southforthewinter We can't just say white girls dude. A lot of white guys I know personally as well as white guys I associate with on social media have severe anxiety and depression. A sign of insecurity.
3
@Benjumanjo People forget that Millennials were constantly shit on 10 - 15 years ago for many of the same things the Zoomers are being criticized for. Gen X looked down on Millennials. I've been a member on YouTube since early 2007 so I can safely say I was around back then to see that happening.
3
You're acting like there is nothing wrong with Gen Z. It's our job to properly raise Gen Z, because whether people believe it or not, much of their generation was influenced by us. Forget about the Boomers, their time is done. I would say a few things about Gen X, but they are the guys that everyone has forgotten about and they're too old at this point to make any impact at all in regards to fashion or trends. We all overindulge and are obsessed with social media. My lesson to the Zoomers is don't believe everything you hear. Don't believe everything you're seeing. Don't trust anybody. These are life lessons that my parents instilled in me, and it's only right that the Zoomer kids that a portion of my generation is helping raise learn these lessons. Most of Gen Z is still kids. What we need to do is not repeat what the Boomers did to Millennials. Rather, we need to show them there is a bright future ahead of them if they put in the work and have the courage to overcome obstacles and barriers. Everybody looks at the stupid trends on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram and automatically blames Zoomers for all of it. That is not what we should be doing. If more Zoomers want to see a brighter future and a good life ahead of them, they need to learn to work for it and accept that not everything revolves around them. Many of my peers and those of us who are pushing 40 years of age are not doing our jobs properly. We got saddled by the Boomers and as a result of their selfishness and greed we're starting to exhibit the same kind of behaviors on our children. Those children being the Zoomers and for some of us, Generation Alpha. If the Greatest Generation was able to turn America around from the Great Depression into a superpower that people looked up to, then so can the younger generations. But until we already prove that we're willing to take action and have our children put in the hard work and dedication, then things are going to continue to decline. That isn't just one generation. Everybody is to blame, everyone is held accountable in these trying times we're living in.

@ORIGINALCRESTED The Boomers and Gen X were told to grow up faster and live on their own when they were only 18 - 20 years of age. Mike Tyson practically lived on his own for most his entire life, and his early days of a boxer seemed to portray that he was older than he actually was. A lot of Millennials and Generation Z more often than not come off as overgrown manchildren. Look at PewDiePie, despite the fact he is in his 30s he comes off like a typical college aged kid.
3
@Gaia Barone I'm the same. All of my idols were Baby Boomers and Gen X. Jackie Chan, Robin Williams, Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, Kurt Cobain, Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, the list goes on. Sadly, I don't think I can name anybody from the younger bracket of Millennials and virtually all of Generation Z that I would say would be a proper role model for me.

@fchow7132 It is not. You typically aren't considered middle age until you are at least 40 - 45 years old or older.

@alexman378 It's been said time and time again America is not taking care of their own. I'm sure a number of people who watched this video are outside of the United States and might not have learned English as their first language, though the video itself may resonate with them. Since people started going after teachers for disciplining the kids, we've seen the kids take a more cautious approach to anything they're not familiar with. That has only hurt them. I knew two kids in my life who went to their job interviews with their parents alongside them. That isn't preparing them for a future, that's the parent shielding them from harm, including the hiring manager who basically tossed them out once they saw what happened. That isn't progress, but rather regression. I've seen it in a lot of kids who suffer from low self esteem. They weren't given the tools to overcome a challenge or an obstacle. Instead of giving the kid to explore on their own, we're having parents track them on their smartphones and punishing them if they so much as walk a block away from their home. As an older Millennial, this attitude was far less commonplace back in the 1990s. Even in the early 2000s, I seem to remember sleeping in at a friends house, then spending the day outside exploring and doing things the usual teenager would do. The older Millennials are now the parents, and we haven't exactly been doing a great job.

@thesilentsiren Generation X was cooler than either Millennials or Gen Z.
2
@thesilentsiren That's not to say we weren't stupid back then either, but we were able to sign off our computers and spend the rest of the day playing with friends, or doing sleepovers. Zoomers are too busy consuming on their smartphones.
2
@trestonmalone5072 For the average 14 - 16 year old kid, 30 years of age is old for them. I wouldn't waste my time on those kids, since they generally don't know what they're talking about most of the time anyway.
2
@trestonmalone5072 I admire a lot of Gen X. I really do. Growing up I was exposed to a lot of their music, their movies and their styles. They were the cool guys who smoked dope and were able to say "I didn't give a fuck". Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and Pearl Jam are my favorite bands of all time. 2Pac is one of the greatest rappers who ever lived. Most of the music on my smartphone is music Gen X made. I cannot stand a lot of the younger Millennials. I cannot stand a lot of Zoomers either. Their priorities aren't straight either. You have Greta, who is a young woman concerned for the future of her generation. Then you have Kylie Jenner, a completely worthless socialite who is a poster girl for everything wrong with the Zoomers. Yet she has hundreds of millions of subscribers more on social media than Greta does. Greta is one of a select few who I actually admire, even if she gets all her ideas from older people in her life. Kylie Jenner hasn't done shit in her life. Her father, Bruce Jenner who is now a woman is just as bad, whom Kylie Jenner simply took from to get famous. The music the Zoomers are making nowadays makes the music Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears made seem like all time Grammy performances in comparison. That is not an exaggeration.

@whyisthomyorke Social media back in 2006 largely catered to Millennials. Most everybody else didn't use it as much as we did. It was the norm that forum websites maintained an anonymity, we were encouraged to remain anonymous when we were young. Nowadays these kids are basically showcasing not only themselves on TikTok and Twitter, but also showcasing their entire homes, backyards, swimming pools and other members of their families. It's gotten out of control and it's one main reason why I miss the old days of the internet.
2
@franskoster9572 The 2000 US Presidential Elections right? The state of Florida caused an entire ruckus that determined the outcome of the voting.
2
@angelnumber0723 Most of us have moved on. But those events are still strong in our memory books because we were teens and kids in middle school when this happened.
2
@aswaney7449 I was influenced by a lot of Gen Xers growing up. It seems like you guys had a better sense of right and wrong. I also identify with the older millennials born in the early - mid 1980s. Those born at the tail end of the Millennial bracket I feel are too similar to Gen Z, evidenced in their tastes and their general attitude on Twitter. As someone born in the mid 1980s, I was just lucky enough to be one of the last kids to do things like build treehouses, spend entire afternoons outside, and do sleepovers and camp. All before helicopter parents became the norm. I consider those born in the late 1970s and earlier to be lucky. Sadly, most of the Millennial generation and virtually all of Gen Z is going to have to put up with extreme political correctness, dire climate change, and an increasing intolerance to most anybody who shares a different opinion. Hence, the cancel culture.

@Living_Dead_Girrl Cable TV died over a decade ago. Baby Boomers are the only thing keeping it on life support. Gen X, Millennials and Zoomers all watch content either here on YouTube, or on Netflix/Amazon Prime. My sister aged 41 years old has everything on Amazon Prime. TVs are basically streaming platforms now and have been for quite some time. The only reason a family would bother to have any Cable TV or Traditional TV (which is even worse off) is if you live in some backwoods hick country somewhere where you cannot get decent internet. People living in the countryside are suffering, because they have fallen behind. Baby Boomers raised a lot of Millennials. That is a proven fact that can't be disputed. Gen X in contrast raised many of the Zoomers, so there's a notable difference. I cannot however, defend a lot of Zoomers as many aren't even in their early 20s. For the average person, your brain does not fully develop until you reach your early - mid 20s. I find a lot of Zoomer kids insufferable, all living off the college life where they throw parties and try to follow the latest fad on social media. Twitter is more catered to Millennials. TikTok is disgusting, and mostly caters to Zoomers who well.... don't know any better. I see some glimmer of hope in Greta Thunberg, who I feel at least is trying to fight global warming to preserve future generations. But she is still very young, and she hasn't exactly spread her wings to her full potential because she has several older figures in her life who are probably telling her what to do. Real greatness comes from taking action completely on your own. It's not living with your parents, having someone from an older generation guide your hand, or any of that. It's being completely on your own in the world, and making decisions that will influence and impact future generations. For example, old comedians like Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Robin Williams were all huge influences on the comedians that followed. Richard Pryor had a direct influence on Eddie Murphy. That's just what happens when you pass the torch. I'm going to skip most of your comment for later on, but here's the thing with Hollywood. Hollywood is one of the best tools for brainwashing western society. Doesn't matter what generation you pick from because it's always been like this. I've been to Southern California countless times in my life so I know how the culture is down there. In fact, I come from the state of California. The weather is nice, but the culture that comes out of Hollywood is just disgusting now. Plus, I got tired of the smog there. I don't like the woke movement, if that offends you then I'm sorry, I just have to come out with it. I don't like how they've infiltrated the comic book industry. I used to be a huge comic book guy, I've read hundreds of old Marvel and DC Universe comic books. But I absolutely cannot stand modern comic books because they instill this woke narrative that makes them intolerable to read. This same woke movement has not infiltrated video games. Anime at least still has some credibility and merit, I find it far more interesting than either western cartoons or western comic books, such as the aforementioned Marvel. You can call me a "weeb", I don't care. If the world situation was better and I had the means and money, I'd move to Japan. Japanese culture always fascinated me. I'll respond to the rest of your comment for a later time, since I'm currently at work.

@imperfectxennial3008 Ronald Reagan was born in 1911, long before the Silent Generation came of age.

Generation X did the torn blue jeans better.

@Amit P. Bharath I wouldn't pay attention to him. He's just a butthurt Zoomer who hates Millennials for basically whatever. The tide pod challenge just sealed the deal for me.

@ShermanWilliamsVideo The 2008 Financial Crash was the "first" financial crisis. COVID-19 is the "second" financial crisis.

@magdalenasanecka2396 It's just stupid kids on social media. Once they grow up and reach their 30s and 40s, they will hopefully have matured enough to not play stupid culture wars.
2
@tinaUNDAcova Most of their generation is 14 - 20 year old kids who aren't mature enough to understand a lot of things. They're inexperienced. We forget that many of us were the same way. Teenagers in general tend to be annoying to a lot of older people. It's a cycle of life. The Zoomers are just using technology that the older generations laid down for them.
2
We didn't have near the braindead behavior and absolute narcissism back in the 90s and early 2000s when we were growing up as kids. Honestly I just miss the old days of MySpace, YouTube and Facebook. You can argue we were stupid in much the same manner as many Zoomer kids are today back in the day, but I tend to think we weren't so triggered with petty bullshit. The events of the past 4 - 5 years, since the 2016 US Presidential Elections, has really put a number on this generation. I'm glad I grew up when the internet social media landscape largely catered to Millennials before everybody and their dick grandfather jumped on the bandwagon. Everybody says Facebook is shit, but I recall a time when it was "cool" and "great" because it initially appealed to college kids. I was one of the early goers of Twitter, we poked around and had fun long before politics infested the website. I miss the old internet. I was a socially awkward kid with Autism, and the internet in the old days was my safe retreat considering that I was called "different". Now the internet is filled with so much of that bullshit I once sought to escape from, filled with all that garbage the normies post on an everyday basis.
2
A lot of my peers got fired for posting angry comments regarding their superiors at their jobs when I worked at McDonalds and Walmart circa 2008 - 2011. Definitely was a hard learning lesson for them. The old days of Facebook and MySpace was full of idiocy, but we were better tuned to not take bullshit so seriously and we could sign off. Back then most of us had flip phones that were incapable of accessing the internet in a timely manner so we had to use a laptop or desktop to access the internet. Many computers were hooked wired to the internet, since WI-FI was pretty bad with weak reception in those days. As far as I'm concerned, the era that was 2003 - 2006 was the last of the "Golden Era" of the internet. It was great while it lasted. We used Newgrounds, shared music on MySpace, hanged out on Facebook back when it was targeted to college students, whom Mark Zuckerberg was at the time he made the website. The big difference is we came up when the internet was still innovating and expanding. The Zoomers are coming up when it has long been established, and are more prone to being swayed by "influencers". Our generation had to work harder to find information. Wikipedia in its early days was far less vast and much smaller than it is today. I miss the early - mid 2000s.
2
@timothyrday1390 I miss those days. Believe me. I get tired of these Zoomer kids acting like they're King Shit and think anybody older than them is wrong. When you grow up kids, you'll hopefully learn there is more to life than living off of Twitter and disagreeing with anybody who offers a different opinion. Then again, they dwell inside their homes all the time and rarely venture outside. They haven't "touched grass", which has now become a popular term for a lot of Zoomers nowadays.
2
The average lifespan is around 80 years old, or just under it. So that means reaching the age of 40 - 45 years old makes you middle aged. My sister is 40 years old, I'm a few years younger and I'm just shy of my late 30s. The older Millennials are certainly approaching that.
2
@Living_Dead_Girrl The older Millennials got lucky. You along with your peers were the first of your generation to get the short end of the stick. You guys fought a war in Iraq under false pretenses. George W Bush preached the so called "War on Terror", Obama only continued where he left off. America is fucked though. I already knew some people born around the same year you were (1987) who died either due to cancer, to drugs, to accidents (mostly likely under the influence), or by committing suicide. The Zoomers are braindead. Can't stand most of them, and their role models are nearly non-existent.

@ORIGINALCRESTED California doesn’t have a good K thru 12 education system. I lived in California for a time so I know this first hand. Universities are fairly good, but you need to pay a lot for education, for any university really. I’m 34 soon to be 35 years old so I pretty much see where you’re coming from. I wouldn’t classify you as part of the oldest Millennials, you are in the middle. Younger Millennials identity with Zoomers much more easily than they do with older Millennials. The older bracket are more similar to Gen X, who on the outside seemed to be the rebel, do it my own way generation. I was no doubt influenced by Gen X, I was brought up by them so I have more of a rebellious attitude than others might. Zoomers have promise, but unfortunately I don’t see things improving for a while. I have respect for Greta Thunberg, she is a young woman concerned for climate change and I’m completely on board for her. You need role models and people in your inner life who can motivate you. You also need a bit of a father figure to better understand what it means to be a responsible man. My generation has too many ‘beta males’, ‘soy men’ and men who don’t want to take leadership positions. I’ve seen a lot of my peers who fit these traits, despite the fact they’re well in their 30s. Sometimes I have to wonder if they ever left college.
2
@sandpiperr You're right. They don't care about anybody but their own. I hate both the Boomers and the Zoomers. One ruined America. The other is too young, stupid and clueless to do anything about repairing the damage that's been done to America.
2
@ORIGINALCRESTED You're relating to people who are over a decade younger than you. I'm in the same age group as you, born in the mid 1980s, and the peers who are one to two years older and the ones who are one to two years younger are the people I can relate to the most. We grew up with similar things, we grew up in the same time period, we both shared many of the same interests as we entered high school and paid for college tuition when we entered college. We were also subject to the tech boom, which a lot of people here have forgotten. The Zoomer kids were literally just infants when the tech crash happened shortly before 9/11. I cannot relate to a lot of Zoomer kids because they all love the bullshit that I cannot stand. TikTok. Internet challenges like that stupid Tide Pod challenge. Thinks popularity is more important than individuality. The list goes on. There are some Zoomer kids that I've been friends and are quite nice people, who had good parents raise them. But this culture wars bullshit fiasco is what separates us. The obnoxious Zoomer kids are the ones writing in the YouTube comments section. But I think it stands that I feel many will agree with me when those of us born in the mid 1980s and before cannot relate to Zoomer kids born in 1998 - 2003. There is too much of a generation gap there, plus all the technological changes that they were subject to witnessing growing up were vastly different than what we experienced growing up. Generation X was the last generation to truly see an analog world before there was an internet. Millennials were the first to witness the internet age, which is why so many of us have clung to digital technology, and people like Aaron Swartz are regarded as pioneers. Zoomers are coming of age when the Golden Era of the internet is long gone. Everything was already laid out for them when they started the culture wars crap.

@reneerodriguez7368 This is nothing new. They were already taking out World War II history back in the early 2000s. I was there to witness it. The fact of the matter is, America has had a lot of violence and shortcomings in it's relatively short history of a country. These kids know nothing about Abraham Lincoln, or what Martin Luther King Jr did during the Civil Rights Movement. So they end up like so many other young people in their early - mid 20s, ignorant. They are not stupid, but they are ignorant of a lot of things in general. The problem points at the poor education system. Getting training for a lot of jobs costs a lot of money, so that's honestly no different than spending tens of thousands of dollars to attend a four year university. Most people in their 20s and 30s aren't even aware that Japanese Americans were put into camps during World War II because of fear they were associating with the Japanese who were fighting during the war. It was terrible, as was everything regarding the war, but it's something the kids need to know. They don't know anything about segregation laws and how the Civil Rights Movement tried to take them down in the 1960s either. Just like they don't know about the events that led to the Financial Crash of 2008. The old platitude, "Those who don't learn history are bound to repeat it", will ring true in due time.
2
@trestonmalone5072 Millennials just copied what Generation X already started. A lot of the boy bands of the 90s including people like Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears copied much of what Gen X already laid out for them.
1
@thesilentsiren Actually it was the Millennials who came up with the toxic cancel culture. The Zoomers basically made it the norm. Pop music sucks now. It's basically a rehash of what came out 10 - 15 years ago. Movies nowadays are basically superhero blockbusters that all have the same plots and themes. Not too much different from the 90s blockbusters and the superhero flicks of the early - mid 2000s.

This happens all the time on Twitter.

Millennials and Zoomers.

@whyisthomyorke Reddit is full on cancer culture. Finally deleted my account after being there for several years, and I have no intention of ever using Reddit ever again. It can die in a fire, along with TikTok and Twitter.
1
@mindoablues I feel this way with movies like Napoleon Dynamite. We had some awesome movies with good juvenile comedy back in the day. I was a huge Adam Sandler fan growing up. Watched all of his old stuff. Rob Schneider was pretty good too. Some of those jokes they did would definitely get you in trouble today. As a matter of fact, Dave Chappelle is under fire for some of his jokes. It's truly pathetic. Back in 2004 - 2005 I don't think anybody would of gave a shit about how offensive some of his jokes were. Loved Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central back in the day. I don't think you could recreate that today, which is a shame.
1
Generation X felt this way before they hit their 30s. A lot of your music artists and bands expressed this in their songs they made back in the 90s and early 2000s.
1
America was better off in those days anyway. Nowadays the parents keep their Zoomer kids on a leash while they consume all the bullshit on TikTok and Twitter. Smartphones are one of the easiest ways to spy on people.

@aswaney7449 Generation X isn't coming out bitching and crying like the Millennials and Zoomers are. I mean, it's true they're typically forgotten now, but they haven't been the target audience in a long time. I was in my mid - late teens with 9/11 happened, and it's a memory that I'll always have. The Baby Boomers screwed everybody that came after them, including Generation X. I identify with older Millennials and Generation X. I cannot identify with people born after the late 80s - early 90s. There is too much of a generation gap between me and somebody born in 1994 -1996, even though they are technically still called Millennials. We were exposed to a lot of Gen X stuff growing up, so many of my idols came from that generation. Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation don't have a better sense of right and wrong either. Just look at Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Both are incompetent and they cannot run a country.
