#gen x vs gen z

[cooki3face]

Gen x and millennials, gen z isn’t making fun of you or bullying you the way you think they are because gen z doesn’t actually care about what outward self expression means or looks like to you. Gen z is criticizing you for your lack of accountability and continuous bad behavioral patterns and choices. Gen z knows what it looks like to heal and see healing happened the same way we know what it looks to see bad choices and bad behaviors continue to ruin everything for everyone including the person exuding them.

Gen x your children dislike you and don’t want to speak to you because you choose not to see the fault in your actions, you choose not to take accountability for your short comings, you completely invalidate your children and carry with you an inflated sense of self importance and entitlement, you lack self awareness, you don’t know how to apologize, you can’t fathom the concept of making room for people where people rightfully deserve to stand. You whole heartedly believe the entire world revolves around you and if you don’t feel you’re being compensated for your hardship that everyone else deserves to receive your internalized resentment and nobody else is allowed to have issues or have opinions, lifestyles, belief systems, or morals that conflict your own. You’ve ruined your children. You’ve caused generations of continued abuse, conflict and unconventional dynamics and behavior. You’re constantly criticizing your children and antagonizing them instead of supporting them and honoring them. You victimize yourself constantly. You continuously complain about the things you had to experience growing up and the social climate you grew up in whilst you sit around and project all your trauma and anxiety and anger onto your children.

Millennials, your children can’t read and those who fall into gen z (including some of your younger siblings) are quite literally watching you become a mirrored image of your parents, are watching you complain about what it was like to grow up and not get your needs met and make the same choices that your parents made and/or have children of your own and fuck them up just like your parents fucked you up because for some reason you continue to carry with you your trauma and the consequences of what happens to someone with unmet needs on such a large scale. You won’t heal and when you’re asked to heal you become upset, defensive. You carry with you the same notion your parents squashed you with that says that because you’re younger or because you haven’t experienced life the way they have that you’re unable to make decisions, that your opinion, and your needs don’t matter and you project it onto Gen z and Gen alpha. You can’t fathom that your children deserve your time and that you can’t get rid of them or make them less of an “inconvenience” to you by giving them tablets and cell phones. You can’t fathom that you’re not a genuine parent but that you’re just merely someone’s biological mother or father. Your children have behavioral issues, they bite peoples ankles, they can’t read, and they have extremely delayed social skills because you don’t spend enough time with them, you don’t parent them or nurture them bc you just yell at them for being children or needing a parent like your parents yelled at you. When you’re told your children need help and need you to be a parent you become angry, you ignore criticisms or you go on tangents about how parenting is hard and how nobody understands or cares about you and your needs or what hurts your feelings as a fully fledged and functioning adult who is responsible for yourself. You have substance abuse issues and some of you are alcoholics. Vast majority of you are walking around with undiagnosed mental illnesses and/or anxiety disorders just like your parents and making everyone around you have a hard time.

Smut fic in the early 2000 : "You belong to me, little one".

Smut fic in the 2020s : "Can I touch you there?" and "Is this still okay?"

We've come a long way. Young women of today actually make consent and check-ins part of their fantasies, part of their perfect man's ethic in bed.

I didn't even know what consent was back then and I suspect many others like me just went along with whatever a man did to them in bed unless it was something that was an absolute no-no.

Lexy: Why not use social media?

Andy: I looked on Facebook you weren't on it

Lexy: Contact us through tiktok

Andy: What's that, like a website that sells clocks?

Around this time of year, a lot of folks will recall 1970s sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, and its classic Thanksgiving punchline, "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." But I just want to take a moment to mention that this episode also has a great message about the generation gap: "Now listen, Mr. Carlson was here at WKRP when we were just kids. And I bet you he's gonna be here long after we're all moved on. Now, Venus, if we cut him out, what's the point? Like, we're the young ones. And sometimes I think we're just a little bit too concerned about being #1. Now Mr. Carlson he just...well he's just Mr. Carlson, he just wants to be a part of things..."

I was about to send a risky DM to someone who’s clearly a preteen imploring them to not post face pics because I was also a preteen on the internet once and thar be dragons, but they don’t allow messages from people they don’t follow so hey maybe the kids are alright

I dont know how many Gen X parents this applies to (certainly mine and one other I know of but feel like it could be a lot) but why did they think it was a good idea to just have children right after escaping trauma? Because that's a pattern I've been seeing and it's so upsetting because so many of us are messed up from parents who never healed and instead passed their shit down to us. Thus we have to become cycle breakers and pick up the pieces they left behind.

Dying at how my mum's vocal messages are like: "hello _, sorry for bothering. How are you? Hope you are well" and always ends with a "have a nice day" whilst I send an audio just saying "fuck you you bitch"

Hey there! I'm a student researching the influence of anonymity, online communities, and queer spaces on the exploration and construction of queer identity. To gather data for this, I'm conducting a quick questionnaire and am looking for LGBTQIA+ Gen X respondents. It will only take a moment of your time and will really help me with my project. For more info + link to the questionnaire please click below!

Thank you so much!

one of the funniest things i experienced this month was i casually mentioned that I'll probably never achieve homeownership in a conversation with a genx real estate agent and they were shocked that i was serious

A lot of cultures teach to respect your elders, for in the long years they have gathered much wisdom.

In America, however, our elders long years gathered much hatred, intolerance, bigotry, and entitlement. We that are young have no use for this so-called 'wisdom'. There is no desire to sit at the feet of elders and learn when what pours out of their mouths is vitriol and hate.
