The tendrils of capitalism are tightening on literally everything to the point that the next generations adult lives will be radically different (for the worse) and somehow it’s their fault.
i love how this meme is completely legible in english despite not being written in english
because english is a fake language full of loanwords
loanword is a calque and calque is a loanword
The author literally cites just like 4 TikTok accounts and that’s all her evidence. One person on TikTok said “Gen Alpha is just so weird” and takes that as some truism (which, by the way, we had plenty of skibidi toilet type weird shit that grown ups didn’t understand when I was a kid). It’s like those articles that say “People are getting mad about XYZ”, and the article just says “It appears that a lot of people are upset about XYZ” and then it just gives 5 screen shots from random twitter users with 200 followers as “evidence”.
Lazy journalism at its finest. Didn’t know getting a job with the paper in the second largest market in the US was that easy.

Hokay. So. Here is teh earff, chillin’ (damn, that is a sweet earff you might say) ROOOOUN!
The only weird thing about Skibidee Toilet is that it just seems like something that would be popular 15 years ago.
The truly weird stuff are the nonsense videos that play the algorithm for kids.

Probably made by someone who grew up 15 years ago lol
i mean millenials (esp in the age 28-34 range) are basically creating media and defining culture for zoomers/older alphas
meanwhile older zoomers are syntheisizing elder millenial subcultures and sort of selling them back to us (esp in the various revivals in the music world)
it’s an interesting little capitalistic ecosystem at least in the world of treats and obviously unsustainable. kind of a global expansion of the old “do what the cool older kids are doing” combined with deteriorating material conditions “elder millennials have money, let’s sell stuff back to them that we grew up on (that their generation help create originally)”
It’s basically just SFM videos styled after Gmod content from 10-15 years ago by dudes like kitty0706, dasboschitt, and djy1991
Those are names I haven’t heard for 10-15 years
The Idiot Box was the shit when I was 8

Journalists would faint in horror of all the weird newgrounds shit I, and many other late millennials/early zoomers grew up on.
They’re doomed because millennials waste all their money on avocado toast and Tide pods (which they eat).
2008? What happened then?
edit: I looked at the article, and it seriously demonizes literal small children and blames it on millennials.
Demonizing people with less power then them is what old rich white fucks do best
millennials waste all their money on avocado toast and Tide pods (which they eat)
brb going to start a bodega that sells tide pod toast. why hasn’t anyone thought of this yet?
How are you going to franchise it, though? You can only build them in New York.
we’re partnering with au bon pain to deliver an authentic new york bodega-style tide pod toast experience to millenials of sophisticated taste up and down the atlantic seaboard and across the midwest!
Yes, yes Gen Alpha is already doomed, we know.
Today’s average L.A. Unified fourth-grader spent half of kindergarten and the entirety of first grade at home, learning the foundations of reading on a Chromebook. By the time that same student returned to the classroom as a second-grader in August of 2021, they had effectively reached the end of formal phonics instruction.
that sounds like a major legitimate problem. should we organize any kind of societal response to remediate this problem?
no, we should quote anonymous complaints from reddit and move on.
The last six months have seen the rise of the newest Gen Alpha stereotype: the Sephora tween. These serum-obsessed 12-year-olds have been filmed plundering beauty stores — spoiling samples, terrorizing grown-up shoppers and hoarding expensive products formulated for mature skin. [emphasis mine]
okay here it is. they always bury the lede. danged kids are buying up my danged face cream!
Kids have always been an absolute menace in public. Ask anyone that worked in a mall from the 70’s-2010.
I got no hate for the new generation and new slang will always sound odd to the older generation. That being said, my nephew used ‘skibidi’ as a verb recently and it did cause some psychic damage.
My sister told me my nephew was explaining what yeet meant to his step-dad a few weeks ago. They’ve been trying to keep him off the internet for as long as possible so he’s probably oblivious to skibidi.
Skibidi doo da
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Millennials are eternally doomed to be the “kids these days” of every conversation.
Millennials…
Here’s a photo of me now.Yeah, boomers in 1988 would have been about the same age as millennials are now, and this kind of nonsense was not still being regularly written about them back then. Nor was it for gen Xers in 2007 when they were the same age.
Boomers in 1988 were the only coherently identified generation outside of WW2 veterans. They were also called the “Me generation” too.
I’d also point to the “yuppie” phenomenon. Newspapers back then could not stop writing about yuppies coming to destroy property values and how suburbs would all die. It was actually pretty similar to the accusations that millennials kill various industries.
The yuppies in the late ‘80s in their mid-late 20s would have been largely gen Xers.
WTF (what the fortnite?) Based boomers?!?!?!
With Xers, they mostly called us disaffected. We were the “Whatever” generation. They said we lacked ambition.
You’d think that but I’ve already seen many articles of millennials whining about how “Gen Z ruined x thing”
Really sticking out their gyatt for the rizzler on this one.
I will karate chop anyone I see putting down younger people knowing damn well how we were treated as “Millennials.” First of all this shit is all made up second of all if younger people are struggling isn’t that just a call to action rather than something to ridicule them for? SHUT THE FUCK UP
yeah i am constantly running interference. just got off the phone with my mom who constantly plugs the “gen z no work ethic” and i have to yet again explain that they are just the first generation standing up to the exploitation and have loyalty to good bosses/supportive crew not corporations/organizations.
i’ll probably have to have this conversation again with my liberal boomer mom in a few weeks lol.
and again. and again. etc
Like holy shit how dare you blame millennials for the mess boomers and gen X (and most importantly, capitalism) left us all with.
I can’t even afford kids. No excuse for the terror.
And who raised the millenials?
lmao they still fucking hate Millenials so much. I wonder if it’s some kind of unconscious guilt thing. I mean Millenials have been basically the most inoffensive generation ever, all they’ve tried to do is advocate for milquetoast socialism and the idea that things should just be a bit nicer for everyone and they have got unrelenting hate for it from day one
We are just so fucking tired can someone pls like us for once
They hated millenials even before socialism really started picking up. “Millenials are killing x industry!!” went back into the aughties even.
joke’s on the boomers, they called us dirty commies enough that we decided to just be what they were afraid of (well, some of us became liberals, but let’s not talk about those losers)
Like, what. They consign me to eternal shitheaddom and get surprised when I decide to own it? This whole place can go to hell.
I noticed that a lot of reactionary boomers are recruiting Zoomers to trash Millennials and literal babies. Age discourse has gotten so ridiculous.
They have a foothold among genz males via manosphere mra andrew tate shit. They’re trying to convert that misogyny foothold in the group into full conservatism.
Agreed. I’m early gen Z and I’m spending most of my mid-twenties in the education industry (although I’m looking to change careers), and I have made it a personal rule to never dunk on gen alpha. My dad and I were discussing the generational divide (thankfully we’re on good terms), and he pointed out that baby boomers need to be reminded they raised millennials so the joke’s on his generation.
Does anyone know if this generational war is just an American/anglosphere thing? I swear, baby boomers have bought in with “keeping up with the Joneses” too much that they now see their own children and grandchildren as “The Jonses” they need to beat. It’s why they vote to sabotage them, they want to be the one who wins and “show those asshole millennials what for”.
I hate being a sitcom villain in the baby boomer’s story. I’ll make sure that I never try to compete with gen alpha.
Ok, Boomer.Boomer
