#the Gen Z scare me

[mushroompapitheoriginal]

Am I the only one who's roasted marshmallows on a bunsen burner when I was learning to use one, but people kept putting the matches, lit or not, in the trash can; causing a fire to spark with the teacher throwing in the final match to set it a blaze. Laughing evilly as in was done and group of students were singing 'This Girl is On Fire' while warning themselves when it was 80°F.

*Insert 'Welcome to Physics' vine here'

Just me?

Guys I have a confession to make…

I’m actually Gen Z

#APPARENTLY SOME OF YALL THINK IM A MILLENNIAL #I WAS BORN AFTER 1996 THANK YOU VERY MUCH #YOU SCARE ME #IM NOT THAT OLD #FROM 1996-2012 IS GEN Z

Me, fighting tooth and nail against my irl friends who are sw*fties: yeah well, maybe I want my sad girl music to have a 3 minute guitar solo and distorted audio after the second verse of vaguely gay lyrics have you considered that ?!

#admit it if pete wentz's lyrics were sung by some white woman to plain ass slow piano music with max 3 cords yall would eat that shit up #but heaven forbid it be layered and/or vocally/musically compelling with a decibel count over 65.2 #or not sung by a climate criminal trying to sound emotional or weepy but actually sounds constipated 💀 #icarus' random screaming #icarus' burning life stories #anti taylor swift #im probably slicing my palm open for a demonic ritual in shark infested waters by doing this but oh well #pete wentz #fall out boy #icarus falls out #not even just fall out boy. I'll put on the tamest led zepplin or rage against song i can find and they look at me like 😶😣😖😨😰😱😵 #i put on eat your young they ASK then i try explain the critique of war profiteering/capitalism and theyre like silly ***** readin too deep #LIKE YOU ASKED. I KEPT IT SO SIMPLE. YOUR FELLOW SWIFTIES LOVE THIS SHIT WTF #im scared to try and bring up mitski (esp. working for the knife/best american girl) lest i kill my own friends #like they're not insane conspiracy swifities and i love them dearly but they're fundamentally tiktok youth gen z and im... not :/ #and im fine with it we joke and laugh about it and poke fun at each other for it but sometimes i feel so alienated #not on purpose. not by them. but i look at em and they look like test tube babies (not mean). #they look to me like what ginny & georgia looks like to them. too polished too stylised too... Just So #sometimes they look like the same lifeless tiktok copy and pasted and it scares me #im trying to remember that post about how tiktok thirst traps and general posts are so set up and stilted they look sexless #and robotic #anyway #the generational gap between me and my fellow teens/young adults 💀💀💀

if this gets one (1) note i'm gonna make a good omens amv set to olivia rodrigo's get him back

#PLS #get him back? lacey? happier??? #i could go into the metaphorical implications of how the prev seasons' has stuck largely to older songs and the jarring shift to gen z pop #mimics how the two of them have stayed in the past. have been too scared to take the next step. and now they have to deal with the future #(for the future.) #something something queen peaking sometime around 'you go too fast for me crowley'????? #but also the vibes are just peak im sorry #good omens #good omens 2 #ineffable divorce #anthony j crowley

[cowboykeery]

so sick and tired of “stop posing like a millennial/stop the millennial pause” like why do we continue to make fun of people for the dumbest fucking reasons

#it hurts nobody and gives ppl like me even more anxiety than i already have #cuz now i gotta make sure im not acting a certain way in fear of being judged #on one hand i DO NOT care what some randos think is cool or not #but on bad and dark mental days it’ll get to me #like the world is going to die we’re all on a societal collapse just leave ppl alone i beg of you #like i never share opinions anymore and am so fucking scared of making friends/interacting with ppl because of how- #uncool/stupid/cringe/opinionated i am #throw others making you feel bad about just existing and trying to be silly or act how you normally do and turn that into- #’oh look your millennial/gen z/cringe is showing do it this way instead’ #like shut up?????????? #sorry for the rant i literally cannot stand twitter and tiktok anymore

I'll be honest, I heard "Steve Rogers lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour" and my gay fanfic writer brain went "Steve Rogers lost his virginity to Bucky Barnes in a USO girl's costume in 1943"

#and now i have to write it #might post it to a different account tho #i'm starting to worry about irl people finding my main #gen z kids and their doxxing abilities scare me #bucky barnes #steve rogers #stucky #marvel #mcu #she-hulk #she-hulk spoilers

The teenage urge to upset your parents cause you're hurt and you want their attention but you don't know how to get it but doing crazy shit, tho you're actually scared to spoil the relationship, so you just sit and do nothing about it

#teenagers scare the living shit out of me #darken your clothes or strike a violent pose #ok boomer #gen z thoughts

Barney the Dinosaur looked so terrifying in the 80s. 

(Barney and the Backyard Gang, 1988-1991)

#gen z moment #girl help #barney the dinosaur #I grew up with Barney & Friends Barney so this scares the shit outta me

Can I say smth controversial. I think I’ve said it before. But I wish MCR had just stayed in the past. The fanbase that has come from the reunion is .. so… AGH

#also like ofc I love emo and nostalgia these are things everyone knows abt me #but when u make ur whole personality that you USED to be emo?? that’s embarrassing #and like. still make fun of new emo / gen alpha / z. the same way the older people in ur life made fun of u #and then also do the whole ‘what the new kids are listening to isn’t real emo u have to listen to these bands that I like or ur a poser’ #like ok go off it’s embarrassing how scared u are of new music and of change and of things evolving and esp #of kids having fun and engaging in subcultures to find themselves RHE SAME WAY U DI #DID #AND U GOT RIDUCULED FOR IT SO UR GONNA TURN AROUND AND DO THE SAME #I’m ngl I’ve been guilty of this in the past I think we all have a gatekeeper devil on our shoulder but U HAVE TO SHUT HIM UP #u will be happier for it and u will see the world in such. a beautiful way when u stop #acting like changes in subcultures u like are a personal attack on ur #nostalgia #ESP WHEN U ARENT EVEN PARTICIPATING ANYMORE U JUST GO ONLINE #AND TALK ABT MCR #Jesus

today, i'm here to defend gen alpha (mostly)

1) skibidi toilet lore kinda slaps and if some of you haven't seen it and feel compelled to vilify gen alpha based on the fact that those are 30-seconds-long videos of heads in a toilet, i'll take that as a very orange red-flavoured flag, on the other hand i must point out that it is indeed a hidden propaganda (not sure what side it is favorable towards yet but it is) and i feel like we should make sure the little guys know that

2) you can make fun of them for being illiterate, but trust me, don't be surprised if they bite you back, they might not read much, but they love to read if they want to, in case they don't read though, they are the perfect viewers, it does not matter if they are bad at grammar if they can defeat you in a debate with relevant facts

3) i love that they take no shit and are genuinely not afraid to talk about stuff they don't like, but most of them i think still does not realize that people on the other side might have their own boundaries too (i'm still crying about being told that one flew over the cockoo's nest and newton's cradle are boring, for the record i was asked to explain them by almost a 7yo)

4) and this is not much of a praise but, if someone from older gen alpha reads this, you don't need pricey stuff on your skin, especially stuff that sound like your grandma has them in her bathroom, i have had the most problematic skin since i was like 13, and i tried so many stuff (including the ones certified to work) and by last year i was about to give up, but then i found out that all i ever needed was gentle cleanser and a light moisturizer both for like 10 euros, so please stop spending so much on pricey skincare and rather try over the years what works for you as your skin develops, because if your skin looks like trash after using drunk elephant, nobody's gonna think "omg, look they are using drunk elephant and their skin looks bad after using it", they will most likely think you are either lying about using it or that you are just a "faulty piece", find something that works and keeps your skin healthy so you can shine brighter than the trend,

and

5) (because i have a thing with odd numbers) i cannot wait for the trends they'll set up when the majority is older than 13 (i noticed that's where gen z started to peak so, i'm coming from here), the memes they create, isn't anyone excited, dammit???

#idk i was just thinking about my cousin's 7yo and how unfair the slander is lately #but basically if gen alpha learns media literacy they can be better than us you're just judging them waaay to early #we as gen z were little as well and you would think most of us would be lost cases as well if you saw us by adult eyes #i said what i said #but by this i am not uncritical to millenials (and some gen z in my surroundings) raising them i've seen it and sometimes i am scared #bonus negative points to the one lady on a tram today who rejected every question her son asked her in such an annoying way that it left #even me as a listener frustrated #ok i think that's it ^^ #gen alpha #chaoticgoodcaptain rants
