The older generation has basically always resented the younger generation for:

  1. Their lives being easier,
  2. Their music and clothing being awful,
  3. Doing sex wrong.

It's like a constant of recorded history. The Romans said these things in ~300BC.

Also about the younger generation being too soft, which I believe ties with your first pint.

As a millennial I don't resent zoomers, I actually feel ashamed for not having done better by them

As for music and clothes... I mean... we had Gabbers...

As a fellow (albeit very late) millennial, what is a gabber?

I hope the Gabbers are still out there? ... That is, if they used that amphetamine sparingly.

Since when were young people's lives easier? Young people work like mules and barely keep roofs over their heads!
