Sometimes I admit I indulge in this kind of vast sweeping generalization because it's fun and cathartic but it's starting to kind of piss me off The whole "Zoomers will save us, they are the first generation with the clarity and purity of purpose" thing can go fuck itselfhttps://twitter.com/WeAreMel/status/1291003559983681537 …

They said it about the Boomers too They said it about the Boomers the MOST It was THEIR THING, they pioneered this discourse (being the first generation to fully grow up with TV and mass media since infancy)

The Flower Children, the New Youth Uprising, the Peace and Love Generation, "Talkin' Bout My Generation", "Don't trust anyone over 30" They got more of that than ANYBODY ELSE The fact that everyone bought into that is probably why they're such assholes now

It's a great way to shrug off responsibility. "We're just a dusty, jaded, defeated generation. But the kids are alright!" Meanwhile the kids are definitely not alright and the ones that are are about to be handed a world that will crush them. Like, uh, it did to us.

Yeah literally like two years ago if you asked someone "Who's the leader of Gen Z" someone would've said Shane Dawson (He himself is at the young end of the Millennial Generation but Gen Z was his whole fanbase)

Yeah, now that I'm a cranky Millennial, I am annoyed by this erasure of history. Millennials were praised a lot for our activism in the early 2010s, and now it feels like everything our generation did has already been erased.

And I know the same thing happened to Boomers. (Gen X gets too many passes, so not naming them). It's harmful because we then treat every activist movement as novel and we don't learn from past movements and activists from those eras. It makes it harder to make real progress.

Hey, at least they talk about you guys. They act like us Gen-Xers don't even exist.
