Those generations don’t know what abuse is. Try having two successive generations of fathers mentally fucked up by two world wars.
Well it’s not like Vietnam was a walk in the park either. It sure as fuck didn’t do my old man any good. I blame the war for his early death due to complications from chronic alcoholism. He came home from the war, but the war never really left him. There are hundreds of thousands of others like him.
World wars aren’t the only thing that can produce multiple generations of fucked up fathers.
Are Millennials hating on Gen Z? I always thought our attitude was more like this:
Also, love how this skips Gen X. Always the forgotten generation.
The other day my dad tried to tell me he was a millennial, because he was too young to be a boomer.
Even Gen X forgets about Gen X
That’s how I like to see us too, but I’ve definitely met some Z hating millennials.
I met a fellow “old millennial” recently who said “we’re the last generation to be raised right”. I disagree, but hearing it from a guy my age really cemented me in old man status.
Then he told me he had 3 kids. Who’s responsible for raising that generation!? Lol.
It is interesting that older millennials like us will be the last ones to really remember the pre-internet world, though.
Born in 84, so technically a millennial although I feel more like a Gen X. As I like to say when X is overlooked - our apathy made us invisible. :-)
I guess you can be an honorary Xer, but I was 14 when you were born, so it’s just a fact that a lot of what I and my fellow Xers have in common time-wise is going to be significantly different. Consider; you were 7-years-old when I was 21.
