"Zillennials", who do you identify with more?

Can't speak for everyone but I really hate social media and minimalism. Neocities is pretty neat, although I had more fun going through archives of actual geocities sites. Something about being a "webmaster" of a page that you get to make yourself is better than yet another cog in the social media machine.

I figured with smartphones being the technology of choice people would eventually not know how to work computers but I didn't expect it so soon. People don't know how to type on a keyboard, they do the two fingers type like a fucking 80 year old.
Zoomers don't know how to use file systems on PC's.


As long as their phones work they are fine. When they stop working they are screwed.

Texas sharpshooter fallacy, Also the only evidence this guy shows is a headline to news article of which he doesn't even read fully.

I cannot relate to anyone born past 2002 and I relate more with Millennials and Gen Xers.
Tell me about it. I am a zoomer. I also act like a old fuck. I remember when they sold VHS tapes at Walmart with SpongeBob on it. I never really left that time. I still watch movies on physical media, drive a car built in 2003, and I still don't know what the fuck a JPEG is.
 
zoomers have a point when they say old internet was better
but the real trvthnvke that still escapes them is that no internet was even better and that is something that is certainly never coming back
The main issue with "old internet" zoomers is that they keep talking about how good the old internet was and keep trying to recreate it as opposed to actually making something new. They also fail to recreate it, but even if they could it is still annoying. Total nostalgia death.
 
no such thing. If you were born in the mid 90s and are unsure of which one you are, ask yourself this: do you remember 9/11 and/or do you remember the immediate impact of it? ie, watching it happen on tv, missing school for the day, seeing the aftermath on the news, adults talking about it, etc. If yes, you are a millennial. If no, you are a zoomer.
That's a very American world view. 9/11 was all over the news but it didn't impact other countries at all. Later events did but the stuff you listed isn't relevant to most the world so it's a bad way to judge an age group. Age groups are pretty meaningless because we forget each person's childhood is very different. If your Dad worked in computers in the early 80s you might have had Duke Nukem and Doom as part of your childhood. An outdoors family wouldn't get a computer until the early 2000s and use it very sparingly. Two totally different childhoods from people born in the same year.

Zoomers don't know what the old internet was like and would hate it if they had to use it. If you wanted to watch a movie you had to buy it physically or wait days for it to download on a sketchy file service. Which could have been a fake file and contain hardcore CP or be a virus. Loading pages could take minutes on dial up and a lot of pages were full of obnoxious ads you didn't have the technology to block. Downloading game updates so you could play online with your friends would use download managers in case the connection dropped. Someone wanted to use the phone? Kicked off unless your parents got a second line installed for the internet. Internet was limited because it cost per minutes, later free time periods letting you use it for a few hours in the evening. Watching videos online? Forget about that. Listening to music? Very low quality and options are limited. If you can find one you want to listen to at all. Your music collection is tiny and made up of poor quality recordings fitting on geocities and angelfire sites.

The nostalgia for the 80s and early 90's culture is hyper commercial yuppie culture. It's nothing like that generation grew up with. 2020 is selling you adverts from 1990 and telling you that's how it used to be as if owning a SNES with 5 games is anything like having a steam account with a fiber connection or having to spend a couple of weeks chore money to buy a new album is like having Spotify. You can go to Neocities and load up the pages in half a second but you will never know what it was like to click on an anime gallery page and watch it load Slayers, Gundam Wing and Dragonabll 480x640 wallpapers over 20 minutes. Zoomers would lose their mind at the amount of downtime the old internet had and the gameboy advance requires physical batteries you have to get from a store in person so you can't spend all that time playing with a gadget to keep yourself occupied.

yeah thats the point
technology being a janky toy gimmick means 99% of people who are now obsessed with easily accessible dopamine fiend activities would never have developed their habit. normal people would simply decide it isnt worth their time and ignore it. bit scary to think this stopped being the case about 2 entire decades ago

This isn't the only person saying Zoomers are shit with PC's.
I know a lot of people like this, although I don't think its a zoomer thing. Smartphones make accessing the internet convenient and thats really the only reason why some people are on the internet at all. These people I know barely know how to work their phones. Some people just have no interest in technology, but you're kinda forced to have a smartphone now.
 
I'm Gen-X and I slightly identify with the Greatest Generation because I occasionally use words like Fag and faggot, Homo, Queer, Dyke, Rug Muncher, Wop, Ginny, Dago, Jap, Chink, Spic, Kike, Jew Boy, Mick, Kraut, Retard, Dingbat, Nigger, Spade, Spear Chucker, Lawn Jockey, Porch Monkey, Jungle Bunny, Niglet, Mulignan, Sand Monkey, and I've never caught a tiger by his toe if you get my drift. But all with no hate and no judgement in a just being a funny scamp kind of way.
 
I am an "old" or older Zoomer but I'm weird in that I grew up watching cartoons and TV shows that were already considered super old at the time (like Popeye). There were also a lot of cartoons and TV shows that most other people my age watched that I did not (like Hannah Montana). I missed the boat on a few things.

But I can still vividly remember when things like Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Chowder, and Regular Show were brand new. I remember seeing the bumpers and commercials advertising their premieres. I remember when the Nick shows Victorious and iCarly were new. I think I did watch the iCarly and Regular Show premieres.
 
Zoomers are Boomers when it comes to using PC's. Where there is smoke there is fire.

Using flat earth retardation as an example is just Zoomer cope.
So by saying to you that just because more than one person believes something doesn't mean it's true, I'm coping? also would you have preferred if instead of flat earth retardation I used the percentage of millennials who believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows?
 
silent generation
They're the most naive people on this planet who believe everything the person on TV tells them. They are also unaware the reason most of them lucked out in life is because they weren't the ones fighting WW2 and were adults during the golden age of this country in the 50s and 60s. They're basically slightly less entitled boomers.
