Old millennial here. Want to drink at home by yourself while I drink at home by myself?

Beware of accounts promoting division between millennials & Gen Z. They’re trying to prevent a powerful political alliance.

[–] Sightline@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you for calling that out. I've saw them do that on Reddit right after the election.

The Gen Z bit is accurate, at least for current college students. I'm amazed at how little they do, how few relationships they have, etc. I actually feel quite bad for them.

The kids aren’t alright

I also feel quite bad for us.

[–] bonuspoints@lemmynsfw.com 36 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I just generally feel bad.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

I feel bad that I don't see kids outside playing anymore, but I definitely see less young people out drinking and driving and getting into fights and shit as a plus in my book.

I don't want a fucken culture war between the generations like what happened with baby boomers. Gen X forward are all fine by me, live your life, be conscientious of other people and where they're at in life, and for shits sakes lets be open to changing our societies based on different generational challenges. The generational wars were always stoked by cynical conservative bread and circuses propaganda, fuck em, stop paying them attention.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And this is why my millennial D&D group invites zoomers to join us, no better way to bridge that gap!

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

In my experience Millenials are super inviting to Zoomers, but not the other way around. But that could just be because they are literally slightly more mature than Gen Z.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 weeks ago

I dunno if it's maturity or just...

Look I interact with a lotta kids, and they are not alright. If you told me a large number of zoomers literally did not know how to invite their friends to real life activities, I would believe you. I've spoken with a lot of Zoomers who are so socially awkward they don't seem to understand a spoken conversation. I feel like we have an obligation to invite them to stuff, just to show them that there is a world off the net that's worth living in.

The shitheads writing the culture war articles and voting for Trump and his kind in greater numbers than the boomers are Gen X.

Me too, and I'm Gen X.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 30 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I've just spent my evening nit leaving the house drinking wine and playing hell let lose with nt wife sitting behind ne playing the sims.

That's peak millennial in my opinion

I played on my Steam Deck while my SO watched some drama last night, and we ended the evening w/ my SO bawling into my shoulder about something emotional that happened, which I had no context for but still gave some emotional support for.

Seems pretty Millenial to me as well. 😀

I don’t drink because I don’t wanna, and I don’t leave the house often because everything is too expensive. Home is nice and I have everything I need here. I’m basically a mid-40s zoomer I guess.

[–] rautapekoni@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Same but also I don't have any friends to go out with anyway, to fill out the full requirement I guess.

[–] NovaOG@lemm.ee 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Key point here: Millennials still make an effort to hang out, outside of the internet. Hoo boy that birth rate is really going to plummet. Lets see how well the capitalist's infinite growth system works when the next 3 generations are smaller then each other. How does retirement work for the proles?

[–] space_iio@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you think capitalism is bad wait until you see what's coming next: neofeudalism

Extremely wealthy few who control everything. No more payment, you'll simply be a serf. No more owning, you won't own anything, all in your life will be leased.

In that world, you have kids because your told to, or else. Individual freedom? What are you a lord? A feudal master?

Gen X here. When I get bored I go out to eat by myself. Without the drinking though. I’m lonely, not gonna lie.

Skip the alcohol and go to a modern laser tag arena with friends. Insanely fun. They somehow got the Halo 2/3 announcer over a massive intercom system, and they have similar games. Feels like a match from when we were kids!

Not drinking is actually a very good life decision.

As a millennial I share these qualities with zoomers. I wish I had friends to go axe throwing with.

Suddenly realizes no one under 30 goes to the bars he goes to

Holy shit. I never thought about it, really.

I don't go anywhere exclusive or special, really. They're just not fucking there. 😯

Y'know what? There are people in every generation causing clichés and also enough people ranting about others clichés. As long as it's in good humour, that's fine.

I'm kind of on the border between Gen Z and a millennial (1994) so I enjoy brainrot content but going out to go axe throwing or going to an escape room and having some drinks sounds amazing too. I wish I had friends to do that with :(
