Boomer/GenX cusp here: nope. Wishful thinking. What’s more plausible: a Boomer who’s savvy enough to understand and manipulate TikTok, or someone from a younger generation trolling for the lolz? Probably the GenXers- it’s always the quiet ones. Most Boomers only heard about the “okay Boomer” meme from newspapers and TV. If you’re a Boomer who can grok TikTok, you didn’t take “okay Boomer” seriously. The precursor to this, “the 30-year-old boomer” meme threw me for a loop for a while, however 😂💀:’D

I’m gen X and raised by “silent gen” (yes that’s what they call the gen before boomers) parent, they had me late in life and I’m a parent of a millennial. My life was interesting because my mom was ahead of her time, she chose not to have bunch of kids, she chose not to depend on a man, she chose to raise me to be independent and self sufficient. Our boomer family members would criticize my mother for her “life style” and she didn’t give 2 fcks, when my daughter came out as lesbian she was very supportive, she was an awesome mom, I lost her in August. But I’m so thankful to had been raised by a woman like her

@@roxypicasso66 luckily for them it's probably worn off by now 🤣. Finger tattoos are notoriously hard to maintain because the skin is close to bones in an area that's used a lot more than other parts of our bodies, so the friction from that, and the fingers rubbing together makes them fade fast - there's also the fact that handwashing produces a lot of friction on the hands and fingers... all of this means the skin on our fingers regenerates up to 10x faster than the rest of our bodies! Especially the bottom half of the fingers - if you look carefully you can see a sort of "line" in the middle of the side of your fingers where the type of skin changes between the top and bottom, and that underside skin wears away and regenerates the fastest 🤓

They weren't letting cars in and my dad wasn't able to just leave his car that he used to drive up to the Queens Borough Bridge. We had to run back to the bridge and across it, took an hour to locate my dad, and it was unsually warm that day that I ended up with an awful migraine. I watched the news while lying in bed where they showed the horror of the people stuck and even jumping from those buildings. I threw up later that day and was scared to sleep alone and too ashamed to sleep with my parents at that age, so I went to sleep with my sister, who had just signed up for the Marine Corp (adding to my fears). We actually got a Husky puppy the very next day completely on a whim. Very surprising for my parents. I was traumatized about it for a while too and appreciate that some of my teachers were there to talk about it with us as a whole class in an honest and open way. I'll never forgive my math teacher who acted like nothing was wrong, trying to teach class even though we couldn't hear a thing over the unbelievable amount of sirens from fire trucks and ambulances going by, creating unease with no explanation till my next teacher told us what was going on.

The memory of my teacher wiping at the running mascara down her face while we were huddled in a dark classroom will forever be burned into my mind.

I grew up with the same things that my sister (born in ‘92) grew up with. Like I remember not being able to talk on the phone and be on the internet at the same time. I remember TVs being rolled in on those carts and having to use those projectors where you had to place a sheet on a lit up box for it to be project through a type of reflecting lenses. I remember using aol and msn. I had those big bulky box TVs that needed rabbit ears and blockbusters. Early gen z isn’t really much different. Took the quiz and ended up checking 33 out of 40

Born and raised in NYC. On 9/11, I was in first grade. I remember a lot of the teachers panicked and turned all the lights off and shut all the windows (to keep the smoke and ask from coming in). My parents were at work but my neighbor, who had two kids in the same school as me, picked me up early then we went to get my brother. She had to threaten the VP to let her take him because his school was locked down since it was closer to the water (you could see Manhattan from some of the classrooms). When we got to my block, I remember thinking it was snowing a little bit. Later I realized it was soot and ash. It took my father three days to get home. I don’t think I went to school for almost two weeks afterwards.

I was a sophomore in a mid-town Manhattan high school but lived in Queens. My dad got as far as the 59st bridge in his car and my older sister went across the bridge and to my school to get me. My dad had to yell and argue over the phone about how they needed to let me go with her because he can't get there himself. They then gave her the wrong information about my class period and classroom so she had to run round the whole building thinking I was cutting class. She was pissed when she found me and we then had to make our way back. That day was a mess and I was so scared about having to cross the bridge because there was knowledge of other planes attacking and that bridge full of people could have been an excellent target for more attacks.

24:55 as a millennial, i think i was disillusioned on what my 20s would look like because i only had the people i know in real life as a frame of reference. but as millennials now, we are fairly open talking about our life experiences online regarding our college experience, dropping out, job search, unemployment, dating, marriage and family (in their 20s), and that has prepped the gen Z with a wealth of knowledge, whether they would want to follow what we've done or do something different.

But it forced my family to actually have a conversation about the importance of getting holiday jobs and having a plan to actually move out. Because of that, My sister at 18 has an agreement with my parents that she will live at home board/rent free or well below market until she is 24 so she can buy a house.

That's interesting, actually! Bc I was born in 2000 and I feel the same way. Like, I feel like I'm always thinking about how much happier the internet, along with most aspects of culture such as music, was when I was a kid than it is now. Like, don't get me wrong, people were always mean, but it was a different kind of mean than what's presented right now. Back then, it was funny cat videos and people making sketches bc they liked it, not to get paid (although that was a perk that was began in the early 2010s). Cringe culture is the main culprit, imo. It sorta ruined a whole generation of kids, who are now scared that they'll become the new laughingstock of the whole internet bc of their interests. I'm glad kids are taking a stand against it now, for the most part. Bring back a happy internet!

I'm 2 years before them I think one of the biggest differences is we look at boomers in blame them for the active actions they took or did not take that we're seeing dramatic serious fallout from namely climate change for one, and they like it or not blaming them for that. With Gen z i noticed a lot of them beating us for things we grew up tolerating or or taught to tolerate. Specifically things like casual racism and a whole slew of it this sexist actions and rhetoric. I why is it interesting influencer who was born in the late 90s who had never seen family matters before and when they watched it they were horrified by how blatantly sexist and creepy Steve urkel was and for most millennials these things never register as sexist even now really when we're so much more aware of them. So it's sort of like a degree we get blamed for things that we tolerated that now are absolutely on the road to being canceled or at least heavily questioned. I would argue that it's not the same as the things the boomers actually actively did, if for no other reason then most of them I've noticed especially losing power don't really want to admit their wrongdoing whereas millennials are able to acknowledge that a lot of this stuff is really effed up in hindsight although it's still difficult because a lot of it all messed up it has a strong hinge of nostalgia for us. NFL just another thing we get yelled at a lot for but frankly every generation has a nostalgic kick at some point, they will too eventually. We're at least learning and willing to acknowledge and change what we're willing to accept or tolerate in our overall cultural zeitgeist

the comment about goodwill also made me realize another difference: i felt a lot of shame buying secondhand clothes since it was not cool growing up for me as a millennial, but gen z has made thrifting a competitive sport not to mention reselling at crazy markups on depop

Idk if this will bring you any comfort. I’m 30yo and my boyfriend is 22. The way we see the internet is completely different and he applies such a different logic to discussions and somehow translates the intent of people depending on the platform, and it doesn’t seem to be something he actively learned. Truly feels like it is ingrained in him because he was raised by/with the internet. I’m saying we adapt, we don’t have much control over it and they will have much more info and experience on this matters than we ever will. Still, the world itself is a scary place, so i feel for you

eeh like yes there are possible dangers on the internet, just like everywhere but if you ingrain good morals, so they can't go down some alt-right pipeline as well as tell them the basics, you know don't give out your address there isn't that much to fear on the internet for the regular user.

On 9/11 I was in 6th grade.. in Mrs.Zumwalt’s science class.. they turned on the tv.. I had no idea what was going on.. we all got sent home early. I remember getting off the bus and walking into my living room to my mother hysterically crying and she was the one that explained everything to me. Definitely a core memory for sure. Also, my cringey teenager face was on the internet.. and still is lol, it’s called MySpace 😂

the “wanting to be a millennial” question is interesting because up until 2019, gen z didn’t have that much of a defining culture, slang or other hallmarks, besides some stereotypes of being addicted to our phones. wanting to be a millennial honestly just boils down to wanting to feel cool and included
