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.
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.
We did the work so you don't have to. 😝
I'm a really young zoomer and most millenials I interacted with were also really nice.
But there were also a few jerks
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.
I'm a millennial and I don't understand why anyone from my generation would have a problem with zoomers. Y'all are good people.
What millennials pick on zoomers, where?
I don't have a problem with zoomers, but I will make fun of them for using TikTok. It's an unhealthy social environment. I know a zoomer who struggles with tiktok addiction and always does more poorly after using that app. They've been braver and kinder since they quit it.

I'm not a fan of the tiktok Insta influencer culture and communicating in 90% emojis but other than that it's all good.

Gen-x erasure as usual.
Gen-what?
Eh who cares.
Somebody called Skibidi toilet "the Generation Alpha's first cultural contribution".
Gen alpha is using source film maker? I'm not down with latest machinina tech but that seems to me like millennials using vinyl. Rad.
SFM has been the patron saint of shitpost videos for decades. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that's not easily replicated, you can always tell when something has been made in SFM and I think it's become a part of the DNA of that subset of memes.
Was that J.J. McCullough?
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)

Isn't that what this meme is about?
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
Ugh the generations... I don't even know which is my own. Every time the topic crops up people give me a different timeframe for each gen.
Anyways, interesting to see the zoomer holding a mate and termo. I wonder what the original cartoon was about
There's no official time frame, so you'll get different answers. Also, generations are somewhat arbitrary delineations that are defined by things other than age, particularly major events and themes that occurred in early life.
For example, it seems that "millennial" is congealing around 1981-1996, at least according to Wikipedia, but there's still variance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenial#Date_and_age_range_definitions
Yeah, basically you're a millennial if you're currently in your 30's. If you're within a few years of that age, you may technically be a millennial, or even if not, you may still consider yourself a millennial, and that is fine. Generations are gradients, there is no firm start, or end, and as stated, is more about generalized experiences of your age group.
If you are 25 and want to call yourself a millennial, that's fine, if you want to call yourself a gen z/zoomer, that's fine too.
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.
Zoomers are great and all, but their brains don't seem to stay on for more than 20 consecutive seconds at times.

The concept of generations is just a social construct. These kinds of things are mostly just selection bias. If what's seen as someone from an older generation criticizes something done by a younger generation, then "generational trauma" confirmed. If an older person agrees with a younger person, it's ignored. If someone of the same age group criticizes, it's also ignored.
It's especially ridiculous when considering opinions on something as subjective and inconsequential as a meme.
While I do broadly agree, I feel it's important to note generational trauma is a real and separate concept. It just refers to the idea that trauma can be passed down from parents to children by repeating the same behavior or perpetuating the same ideas that traumatized them. This can be especially apparent in children of immigrants, religious extremists, or survivors of abuse, all for completely different reasons. It's very common and worth talking about.
Nice meme
This is now considered generational trauma. WTF?
I’m part of the Oregon Trail generation, essentially the border between X and millennial.
I definitely try to do what the meme shows, but I had to post because I’m in my 40s and I recognize the meme because I have a 6 year old.
I'm going to start using that identifier 😂
Sharing skibidi toilet with everyone across the Fediverse - I've been doing my part! :-P (few have ever heard of it, even fewer like it, none understand it -> it's perfect art!:-D)
Good luck with that, Zoomers will never be able to afford to have kids.
I use TikTok (I know...). There, when there's rivalry, it is frequently 'gen Z' the one bullying 'millennials'. They criticize the way they use technology, their fashion sense, their attitudes, their musical tastes, etc. Studies are noticing that 'gen Z' tend more to the right-wing, so I guess there's a part of them also criticizing previous generations for being too leftists or whatever.
I use the quotation marks because this whole generational thing seems to me arbitrary and U.S.-centric. I'm in the years that are considered the transition between these two generations and I share characteristics with both. It's silly how serious we've taken this thing.

Dear gen alpha... Skibidi toilet is s-tier shitposting, I appreciate your eye for fine art.
Skibidi toilet? Maybe mom and dad were right
It was supposed to be up to us 😭 My fellow millennials aren't aging as gracefully as I had hoped.
So zoomer is born in the 90's?
I mean skibidi toilet is more cultural critique than just a meme.
