Whoever made this comic has never actually seen millennials and zoomers interact. We all cool.
As a millennial I can say that Gen Z is bussin fr fr no cap
As a genx I can say like, whatever man.
Yeah word.
We are the only generation to acknowledge just how fucked the next generation is regardless of whether they “get a job” or not. We’ve also experienced enough bald-faced ignorance from previous generations that we have the humility to acknowledge that there might be things as we grow that we just won’t understand, and we can tolerate it either way. Or at least that’s been my experience among my age group. In fact I’ve never been more supportive and proud of the younger millennials and zoomers. Our racist octogenary and parent is handcuffed to the wheel and dead set on speeding the car up as fast as possible toward a firework factory and we all in the car calm and holding each other like, “well, we’re fucked but they’re dying soon and we might have time to hit the brakes”.
No kidding I think half my friends are zoomers with a sprinkle of gen x.
Fr, I am born in 90 and some very good friends of Mine are born in the early 2000s. They are just as chill as my same age friends.
The circle has already been broken, as ~zoomer, the vast majority of millennials I interacted with were really nice people.
As a millennial, the vast majority of zoomers I’ve interacted with have been cool.
Yeah that’s been my experience as well and I work for a bar. Most of my coworkers in that generation have been easier to get along with, easier to communicate with and don’t visibly panic at a “dead inside” joke. Direct contrast to my last workplace with more millennials/boomers. Ive yet to cop inter-generational shit talking from zoomers so they sure won’t get it from me. Plus look what they did with memes.
Same, I’m not sure who this meme is really intended for
I’m a millennial and I love you guys, my aim is to be kinder and more helpful to y’all than our predecessors were to us
Gen Xers have always been pretty cool, as long as you don’t expect them to care about much. I get the feeling that the close proximity to the Boomers really took it out of them.
I have a lot of sympathy for them in general and plenty of them are pretty cool, but the product of not caring is that there a lot of selfish asshole xers, I don’t hold it as a rule, but they certainly didn’t try to support or guide us much in my experience
Edit: to be clear when I say predecessors I mean boomers because they are the age group with the most representation in power since I was born
I think boomers to millennials would make more sense. Boomers are so hateful and desperate to keep what was promised to them that they will hold on to it even if it costs 3 generations of people almost everything.
They were hating on us Gen Xers while we were still in grade school. Giving us shit for the participation ribbons, they imagined, designed, bought, and handed out to us
Is the inheritance of generational hatred depicted here even real? Some of the nicest people I’ve interacted with in my entire life were Baby Boomers. I’ve met shittier Gen Xers and Millennials than Baby Boomers.
It’s all bullshit, just generated for people to hate someone other then the ones they should be.
As a millennial, the only humans I hate are the rich. The rest of you are cool, even if some of you are dumb as rocks.
Yeah but a lot of non rich people supported policies and individuals who were just fine with a system that allowed for the Uber rich goofs to exist.
That’s what I meant by some being dumb as rocks. They face a lot of propaganda and algorithms on the daily and it’s probably real hard for them to see through.
And pretty much an equal amount actively fought against those policies, but were not politically effective in doing so as a result of complex historical and political factors. The Baby Boomers were and are complicated, just as everyone is, and it’s kind of incorrect to treat them monolithically because as a generational cohort, the Boomers were ludicrously massive. So much so that there can actually be considered two dominant sub-cohorts within that generation. Early boomers protested Vietnam and made huge contributions to American racial, gender, reproductive, and sexual rights. Late generation Baby Boomers, sometimes referred to as “Generation Jones” grew up in an era of political malaise, and lived through the economic recession of the 1970s, Watergate, the Iranian hostage crisis, and a bunch of other things that helped to shape their more generally conservative political identities.
I think these go into OP’s “dumb as rocks” category.
That’s a good way to be. I try to do this, but it’s hard not to hold people’s stupidity against them when they plaster it all over the back of their car.
Yes. I totally agree, I just try to remember that they’re constantly being bombarded with propaganda and that it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to keep supporting their daddy’s favorite
football teampolitical party.
Gen X: “Forgotten again. Whatever.”
We like it that way. If anyone needs us? Don’t.
Yes, but …
Setting aside the polarized nature of named generations, as a class; for these are entirely arbitrary and designed to create polarization …
There’s fun theory on the “Gen X are forgotten” meme. Yes yes, you Gen Xers got shafted, here’s a cookie 🍪 Please hear me out.
Most people fall on the cusps of their “generation” and Gen X is no different - in this case, you’re either old enough to identify with boomers, and are shouting “snowflake millennial” with them; or you’re young enough to identify with millennials, but still too old to identify with Gen Z, so you’re shouting “cringe zoomer” with the millennials, they who are cuspers themselves and too old to identify with Gen Z. The quintessential Gen Xer is uncommon, but exceptionally kind. You always know when one is around though, because they are quick with a self deprecation point out that Gen X was “forgotten again.” 😉
The sad thing is that many of the so-called boomers are being replaced by Gen Xers. And the millennials shouting the same inter-generational slurs will eventually take the throne of generational bully.
On the other hand, there is hope inspired by this meme - all we need to do to stop inter-generational trauma is stop perpetrating it.
The only millennials I give a shit about are the ones who made my life painful as they entered the working world and even then, away from the office as long as they are not trying to police speech we are chill.
What do you mean by “police speech?”
Came here to say the same thing brother.
As if we want this attention. I’m just gonna go to my empty latchkey home and play Nintendo.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.
Thanks for forgetting Gen X. We’ll be over in the corner playing video games. If anyone needs us? Don’t.
I’m a millennial. I love my zoomer comrades. Even if I don’t understand their stuff, I still respect their whole thing and the fact that they’re inheriting a different world with different experiences than what I did, which is really all my generation was ever asking for and never received. I feel more like a significantly older sibling to gen z than a do an entire generational step older. We generally agree on a lot of the same shit. They’re paying more attention to current events than I was when I was younger, and unfortunately it’s kinda more necessary for them to because we didn’t do a good enough job at that until maybe 5-10 years ago.
Sorry if I’m wrong and I’m the exception rather than the rule. Keep zoomin’, zoomers 🤙
Idk man, Zoomers got broccoli heads though.
Jk they’re cool.
I grew my broccoli head out and now I have luscious curly locks 👍
Much better imo
They may have broccoli, but at least we have Celery Man.
I don’t really get the skibidi toilet, but I can appreciate it when someone posts an ai recreation of Micheal Jackson singing it.
I feel the actual “skibidi toilet” is more of a gen alpha thing, what you see from gen z is mostly just people satirizing it
I teach Gen Alpha and most that reference it do so “ironically”, and many think it’s dumb or overdone at this point.
or profiting off of it on many different fronts
i’ve seen a couple pretty dumb (and successful!) attempts on roblox lmao
Millenials in the coments talking about how the millenials are actualy cool and already stopped generational trauma:
Yeah, I get this is kinda cringe, but let’s not do the thing where we insult the people that we want to change and help us. That’s very boomer.
I think you misunderstood me…
Gen-x erasure as usual.
Gen-x? Is that like an X-men comic book or something?
The greatest trick gen-x ever pulled was convincing the world it didn’t exist.
I love it; GenX just outside the frame, having our TV dinner, and watching it all go down. We should just change our name to the forgotten generation, or the latchkey generation. Meh. That’ll be forgotten too.
As an X’er married to a Millennial that fights her Boomer folks, this is the way.
Nah, there was that beanie baby movie. People remember us. Totally.
i disown and disavow all millennials who give zoomers a hard time
zoomers are fucking priceless
gen-α needs the strongest possible start and the best support we can offer
let’s NOT act like those FUCKING BOOMERS.
Any millennial that gives their succeeding generations any shit is a wannabe boomer.
This also applies to Gen-X.
preceding
Are you sure you didn’t mean succeeding?
Isn’t this skibidi toilet stuff for Generation Alpha? The one after the zoomers?
I give absurd humor, even if it seems low effort, a pass.
Imagine how gross/dumb Monty Python sketches were to the Lost Generation. How much did The Kids In The Hall rile up Boomers?
How terrible does early South Park and Beavis and Butthead look to me now that I have a couple decades to reflect on them.
Zoomers are potentially the most existentially detached generation we have seen in a while, and I’m excited to see what they create, if my old Xennial ass lives that long.
Zoomers are great and all, but their brains don’t seem to stay on for more than 20 consecutive seconds at times.
Never been called a snowflake or saw someone call another a cringe zoomer outside of toxic online communities.
Get out more, the real world is different
As a millennial, I do not understand Skibidy Toilet, but will embrace the weird because it is actual art in its purest form and makes people feel differently in almost every possible way when you see it; renaissance painters would have killed to see people respond to their art the way everyone in contemporary times react to this shit.
Skibidy toilet is just part of the modernist version of dada. I’ve (a millennial) always loved dadaism and absurdism as art and my zoomer kids make me so proud showing me their humor.
I honestly think it’s kind of funny. It’s just so stupid. Reminds me of early YouTube
As another millenial, this thread is the first time I’ve heard of Skibidy Toilet, and I’m wondering if I should bother to look up what it is.
Trust me, it’s like the dumb shit we watched when we discovered the weird internet, just using half-life characters and 3d animation. If you’ve ever enjoyed “All your base”, you have no right to complain!
Do or don’t, we just gotta be good to our fellow peeps as the earth keeps spinning. I still haven’t looked it up, and it’s fine 😉

Somebody called Skibidi toilet “the Generation Alpha’s first cultural contribution”.
Baby Boomers as a generational cohort are well on their way to completely dying off and generational antagonism is a tool of the capitalist class to turn the workers of different ages against one another. Be better than that. Make better memes.
Generational antagonism predates capitalism by about 2 thousand years (of our recorded history)
And it’s always been a cudgel used by the powers that be to distract from the real sources of everyone else’s problems. Funny how that works.
In these comments it’s just more generation vs generation BS. We’re attacking the wrong group. Like 10 people have 90% of the money in the world. Someone dancing on Tiktok or being on their phone more isn’t the problem.
and once again gen x don’t exist
…and likes it that way
