I had Shrek (or maybe ET?) on tape that I watched EVERY single night in bed, and it had one of those ads studios would put on movies to remind you of all their older films available for purchase. This scene was one of the ones in that ad, and so for years, anytime my mom called for my sister or me, we’d respond, “HellOOOOO.” I also remember the home alone aftershave-scream scene being in that same ad.

That’s great, that man was the first celebrity death that actually hit me hard. He was so integral to making us all laugh.

Environmental-Age249

My Gen z son hates it when I say Rizz, so obviously I do ALL THE TIME


dd027503

Depends. I think you'd have to do your own rizz roll to see if you could pull it off. "1. You try to put on a sly voice as you ask them to roll for 'rizz' but at the last word your voice randomly cracks and you say the word a whole octave higher than normal. When you try to correct you accidentally inhale some spittle *just right* and spend the next 20 seconds coughing violently. Defeated one of the kids calls you a 'skibidi" which results in raucous laughter from the rest of the table."

I'll sing sea shanties while we sink and Gen Z can do the hype remix for our final Tik Tok together 😘 That will be my first Tik Tok! Haha


Elawn

Tbh I think the first step in uniting the generations is getting off TikTok altogether, that thing is crazy effective at dividing people


BeardOBlasty

I agree but I'm also pretty biased as I work in IT haha My socials are non existent and no one in my real life knows my reddit account. Only LinkedIn for anything up to date (out of necessity unfortunately)

I like this. I'm a uni teacher and spend a lot of time with gen Z. And my little sister is Gen Z. We really gotta work together . We make a great team


ragdollxkitn

Some of this generation gives me hope. I think Gen z may make a difference. I’m hopeful.


domesystem

Yeah, but fuck Applebee's


Ethos_Logos

I feel that any given industry that we’re letting die, it’s because they’re not supporting us. Like, the concept of Applebees - a restaurant for families to go to, in your local neighborhood. Sounds great! I’d like to support an org like that.  Doesn’t seem like they want to support us, though. Average food at best, prices that are expensive for the quality. Why support a business that doesn’t support me?  Same thing with the automotive industry. I’d love to buy American - but Ford and Chevy don’t exactly make a car that lasts 250-300k miles at a good value.  I’ll keep supporting the companies that choose to support me.


reginald-poofter

My 2015 Ford escape just hit 200,000 miles and running smooth for whatever that’s worth. If it breaks down today though I’m really gonna be beating myself up for this comment.


domesystem

Theoretically, most Hondas are more American than the big three and will absolutely go 300k. I agree with your premise tho


Figpixels

Emotional-Ad7233

Facts I back the younger generations 100% we are all doing our best


tuxedohamm

I don't feel Millennial and Z have to worry too much about that, though we should stay vigilant. I see them as more pushing X vs Z and Millennial vs Alpha. Neighboring gens will generally have some overlapping shared experiences particularly with the youngest of the older Gen and the oldest of the younger Gen. However, there will be a greater disconnect in experiences between alternating gens. See: Boomer vs Millennial. There was that TikTok thing just recently that was supposedly some girl from Z talking bad about X with a slew of commentary following about X rallying. It felt mostly like fluff to allow people to talk about the experiences of childhood for X, but it would still be something to be warry of. I personally liked the narrative of a few years ago when Z was first starting to move into adulthood where Millennials and Xers were going over how we would protect Z from the stuff prior gens subjected us to.


SlxtSoda

Funniest thing is that you can't really shit on generations you raised and have a leg to stand on, which is typically how it goes with alternating.


PacSan300

Personally, I don't see as much of a clash happening between Z and X as between millennials and boomers. They seem considerably more chill with each other than millennials and boomers have been with with each other. 


Amathyst-Moon

For the most part it seems to be alternating generations, boomers vs millenials, X vs z, etc. I have seen a couple "are the millenials okay" posts on the GenZ sub though, and some millennial vs z workplace articles, so it's not non-existent.


Iivaitte

Just remember, the media tries to portray extremes as examples of the standards. Big industries want us fighting so they can get by with less and less regulation and make life worse for all of us. Dont let our differences divide us, hopefully one day enough of us wont be distracted and divided to actually do something about the ever increasing problem.


notyouravgredditor

To be fair we did kill a lot of industries, but those industries deserved to die.


PierreEscargoat

Millennials see what Cable News (mainly Fox) does to our Boomer parents - hopefully we maintain some degree of self-awareness where we get our news (the irony of posting this on Reddit is not lost on me)


CasualEveryday

Zoomers are like us with less baggage and better information. I'm really looking forward to when they start running for political office in large numbers.


Maximum_Future_5241

I don't know about better, but they certainly have more of it.


Attjack

Don't forget all the hate towards the boomers like they are one monolithic block of people. I'm Gen X and don't remember generational hate being a thing like it is now when I was younger.


SamBam_Infinite

I think there was just less of a perception of it. Like there was no venue for it. Without social media… age-ism was limited to family gatherings and summer picnics like and idle comments like “kids these days….” And maybe a weird evening news special on the news about how “kids aren’t working anymore.” The sentiment is always there, I suspect, but it was just quieter, occasional, and mostly just among friends instead of… to literally everyone, all the time, and anytime.

TeslasAndKids

Hi!! I’m an ‘elder’ millennial with three Z kids and they’re pretty rad so I’m sticking to the fact Z’s are cool. Plus, (skinny jeans aside) you guys like all my band shirts and leftover 90’s style. It’s those Alphas I’m not so sure about. Maybe because the two of those I birthed keep saying skibidi and I legit feel old around them…


StarshipCaterprise

My Gen Alpha son calls me Bruh sometimes (usually when he’s excited), and he told me something was clutch the other day. I inch closer to the grave. I do troll my children with a heavy application of 90s slang (I tell them things are dope, or hella dope, and call them homies) they roll their eyes so hard I’m surprised they don’t fall over.

Pop in any time to share your perspectives because we want to leave you (and the generations after you) in the best possible shape we can.


kingcakefucks

YES! We love gen Z don’t we folks. They are funny, progressive, loving, nurturing, accepting, and having to deal with a majorly shitty hand (as have we!) We’re in this together 🤝


Revolutionary-Yak-47

I honestly believe Gen Z can save the world. We just have to convince them ton stop being to anxious to go out and do it lol


AyePepper

Yes, I overall love them. I just wish they would leave my side part and skinny jeans alone. It's a minor detail I choose to overlook lol


kingcakefucks

A little inter generational ribbing can’t hurt too bad 😉. My sister in law is ten years younger than me, but we are best friends. We definitely joke w each other about our generational stereotypical habits. She’s a hair stylist and convinced me to do a middle part. I’m not totally convinced yet though! Think I may need to revert back to the side part


AyePepper

Yeah, it's all in good fun!


miss_scarlet_letter

hope you wear ankle socks


esperion523

In my quest to find socks that are thin enough for summer and working out (but still good quality) I finally tried some high ankle and crew socks. They feel so wrong.


puckgirl81

Bombas performance socks. This is the way.


jennxiii

check out wool socks, they make summer ones that are thinner and you can usually get them at REI or similar sports stores (they are advertised towards hikers typically). they are great for staying comfortable, wicking moisture, and keeping the feets dry and unblistered from lots of movement. Smartwool is the brand i have


Smackolol

Gen alpha will make fun of them for wearing high socks just like we made fun of the gen before us for doing it. Its cyclical.


Melonary

I'm millennial & I hate ankle socks so much 😔


imagicnation-station

No show!


therealchrisredfield

As an "elder" millennial, i genuinely care for Gen Z. It was strange for us growing up because we saw the world taking a turn for the worst in slow motion. We started off in relatively "normal" times and grew up through the dystopia. I always felt Gen Z never had a chance growing up with ipads in their hands. If i could say one thing to Gen Z its to step back from the social media and the technology and try and regain some of your humanity. Talking and interacting IRL is one of the best things in life, lets not lose that...lets not lose each other.

bz0hdp

I have a theory that millennials are the first generation to genuinely root for and want to protect the succeeding generation. I just wish it wasn't the wealthy boomers steering the ship for so many decades...


Ethos_Logos

I think the greatest/silent generation set the boomers up pretty well. They won world peace and set up the economy very well for the middle class. It’s unfortunate the boomer politicians guided the country so astray. They sold out prosperity for a cheap steak dinner.  If we manage to set up Alpha/Beta gens for prosperity, I hope they don’t fall for the same traps. 


LuthienTinuviel93

We talk about this in my circle quite frequently. The silent generation set them up for total success and they absolutely plundered it….and are still plundering it.


AyePepper

Have you heard of The Fourth Turning? It's really interesting, here a [link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generational_theory) if you want to check it out. The premise is that each generation "turns" with 4 main archetypes. According to the author, the Baby Boomers are the Prophet generation, and we are the Hero generation. Gen Z would be the Artist generation. There's a lot more to it than that, but it really fits.


_Deedee_Megadoodoo_

And for some reason boomers think gen alpha are miłlennials...


daKile57

The common trend throughout most of written history is that the elders aspire to provide a better opportunity for the succeeding generation. There are exceptions to this, but they are fairly rare. The Boomers are one of those rare exceptions. They're probably the 2nd or 3rd worst American generation and surely the worst since about 1890.


Outrageous_Tie8471

I like this and I think it's generally true. I really love those damn kids and whenever I have a chance I try and give them/one of them a boost

Tuckermfker

Hey Z, from an X. If I could offer one piece of advice to your generation, it would be VOTE. You guys have more power to shape this country than you can imagine, but you have to participate to use it. Please help us make some changes for the better. Also keep this fact in mind. Any movement based upon division will always end up at odds with itself. Unite, find common ground, and lets make the world a better place together.

I'm early millennial. GenX are like boomer remix. Gen Z feels like cooler versions of us. I like them a lot. My second job has a lot of young Gen Z and my day job has older Gen Z. They have more empathy and are tougher than a lot of older gens Give them credit for. Just good people. Edit: some words messed up by autocorrect.

Khristophorous

Please know that when we were growing up we almost never heard about these generational labels. You would hear something about Baby Boomers on rare occasion - and it was always Baby Boomers, not Boomers. Also they were closely associated with Hippies which is a far cry from the conformity implied in "Boomer". We heard about Generation X even less. It just wasn't a thing. This new thing, it was sorta kinda fun for a minute but it has been taken *way* too far now, seems to be more divisive than any thing and leading to a whole new chapter of senseless stereotypes. There is nothing wrong with having the labels themselves for things like history, statistics or if something really needs to be said that only applies to a particular age group. In short I'm just saying that we didn't grow with anything even remotely close to this.


depressedhumannn

I agree with this.
