What are some dumb millennial traits that gen z's avoid?

[HyperboreanRightsActivist]

Gen z's tend to give less of a shit about environmentalism and tobacco teetotalism

 

[Shig O'nella]

They seem to avoid basic literacy.

I feel like Zoomers are a bit less fragile than Millennials were. I also don't think that Zoomers are as prone to go all in on or place a high value on various "causes" than Millennials. They also seem a bit more skeptical and less optimistic in general.

Millenials are the new Boomers, Zoomers are the new Gen X. Zoomers seem to have a jaded resignation about them.

My nephews seem more so immune to propaganda than my fellow millennials. May just be their upbringing but I've noticed they're more resistant to the black & white way of thinking. We don't agree on everything but from what we've talked about they're always countering public narratives even if to their detriment sometimes.

Not like I can blame them, when the institutions fail you so much it's hard not to believe in literally anything else. Even things like the moon landing being faked holds potential when literally everything the establishment says or does seems to have a secondary motive or vague broad disparities. Also they seem to have literally 0 interest in television or MSM in general which is admirable at least considering they're far from uninformed about things. Better to have a good wide berth of news feeds than just FOX or CNN.

Zoomers are exactly the same as millennials if not worse

 

[Karen of Human Resources]

They certainly avoid millennial features such as a stable job and a personality.

As much as I might hate their personalities.

Millenials are the new Boomers, Zoomers are the new Gen X. Zoomers seem to have a jaded resignation about them.

Case in point: Ask them about January 6th.

Boomers, millennials: "I was shocked and appalled watching treasonous insurrectionists violate the hallowed halls of our sacred democracy. They are a threat to our Republic and its treasured institutions and must be punished."

Gen X, Gen Z: "Don't give a shit but the guy running around dressed as a shaman was funny as fuck"

Don't agree at all with this assessment. Even at the same age, they came with their own unique traits and challenges from a workforce perspective.

In particular, the attention spans of Zoomers is atrocious. They require a great deal of handholding, and are unable to engage in any level of critical thought. They also need to be "won over" to a certain extent. Much more individualistic. When they face adversity, they don't seem to have much regard for the problem at hand and don't seem to care. Less willing to ask questions, more willing to "fake it till they make it."

Millennials, conversely, seemed a bit more grateful for opportunities. They were more so "true believers" that had more base respect for authority. They approach things more from a collectivist perspective. When they face adversity, they care way too much and got overwhelmed. More willing to ask questions.

Gen X, Gen Z: "Don't give a shit but the guy running around dressed as a shaman was funny as fuck"

I'm a millenial, and I agree with this.

"Boo hoo hoo, evil people whose decisions have caused suffering the world over got their feefees hurt and their delusions of immortality shattered. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it."

 

[Poop Shoot]

They see how exhausted their mothers are taking care of them, holding down a full time job, while also being expecting to provide elder care - and they’re saying “lol fuck that.”

Good for them.

Hearing clueless old women go on about how January 6th was the "scariest day of their life" makes me want to uppercut them into the sun. When I correct them on what actually transpired that day, they're like: "yeah, that's what my son said. I guess it wasn't that terrible."

 

[Pixy]

They record videos differently. There's that whole 'millenial pause' thing that's been abhorred by Gen-Z vloggers.

 

[Smokeski]

I see a lot of zoomers circle jerking about how enlightened they are but on large use tik tok more than millenials

 

[Punished Derich]

Have you seen the Galaxy Gas videos? 90% of the time when people talk about this cohort they're giving it more thought than we do ourselves, so much stuff is projected onto Gen Z it's honestly weird.

I feel like Zoomers are a bit less fragile than Millennials were.

Nigga what? Z kills themselves more than Millenials.

Zoomers are more apathetic, which can be good or bad. It means that many of them avoid the horrible fervor that a lot of Millennials feel towards Causes (TM). It also means that they are generally more boring to talk to than any other generation. They have this uncanny 'deer in the headlights' feel, like they're intellectually and emotionally paralyzed by the fear of taking the chance to believe in something, retreating into a strange soulless apathy that's dull as dishwater. It's very different than that sort of hard stoicism that you often got in old men from the silent generation or greatest generation - that's a hard, tangible thing, those men believed very rigidly in something - this is more soft, insubstantial and a little bit pathetic. But it's still preferable to Millennials who think that they are the second coming of Christ sent to save the world from all other generations, who are all dumb, wrong, and bad.

I feel like this really hurts them in the workplace. Zoomers need to be painstakingly drawn out of this defeatist shell, and it's hard to mentor them or get them to put in effort towards advancement because caring about work is also seen as 'lame' somehow. But at the same time the individualism is admirable on a macro scale because they often will put in the effort if it's their own business/side hustle. I just wish they realized that you can learn skills from an employer, advance, get experience, and then go off and do your own thing once you've worked to open those doors for yourself and have built up a network. Many times you can even take advantage of training programs to get your employer to pay for credentials and stuff like that.

I like that they're less uptight about nicotine, but I loathe that they're more uptight about alcohol. As far as mild vices go they're kind of a wash. Overall I hate how they interact with technology - it rules them to an unsettling degree, but they also don't understand the nuts and bolts of how it works. It's kind of uncanny to see how it governs how they think and their behavior - the avoidance of alcohol, for instance, because everything is recorded and alcohol decreases inhibitions. The way that everything becomes a performance or a branding exercise for a faceless social media crowd. It's probably what most alienates me from their generation - I feel like it all adds up to an intense lack of authenticity masked with ennui.

Using a keyboard to input large amounts of data instead of randomly mashing a touchscreen until the system figures out what you want.

You're bound to hear phrases like, "it is what it is" A LOT.

I'm a millenial, and I agree with this.

"Boo hoo hoo, evil people whose decisions have caused suffering the world over got their feefees hurt and their delusions of immortality shattered. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it."

"Oh no! Taxpayers walked around the Capitol after the Capitol Police let them in! And politicians who sent thousands to get killed and let millions suffer cowered under their desks! Oh the humanity! Won't someone think of the politicians!"

 

[Punished Derich]

You're bound to hear phrases like, "it is what it is" A LOT.

I genuinely believe the overuse of this phrase in particular stems from social contagion from the virality of this sexy goth wizard's videos, eventually we'll start hearing "I've spent several years… Being patriotic…" after political failure.

Nigga what? Z kills themselves more than Millenials.

At least they're more proactive about being suicidal.
