'Writer Jennifer Rosner predicts COVID-19 lockdowns will force easy-breezy millennials to grow up.'

The other thing about this generation warfare is just a much more apparent version that pretty much every generation does to the previous and next one. 'This generation has so much better than mine'.

The only difference the past four or five you can actually say that. The previous/current generation can say the previous/current generation has it better. Depending on what you talk about.

Something I don't understand, and dislike in modern society, is when we had to start putting labels on abstract concepts that makes no sense. That just further encourages division.

Like generations, and even every decade. So far as I can tell, The Roaring Twenties was the first decade. The first nickname for a decade. Come a few decades later, now we're naming people from generations. Why should I accept the Zoomer or Gen Z label for me? I'd rather take the label of Gen X or Millennial since it sounds more like the era I would have loved to grow up in.

Why not. If gender is so fluid, someone can identify a certain way, why can't I identify that way? Why can't someone identify as a potato chip?

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Okay, so you've dragged the discourse level down to "I identify as an attack helicopter". And this supposedly has some connection to a wanker calling Millenials lazy and spoiled.

You are the generation you are born to. It really is a abstract way of determining of what... Really what generation you belong to. It's a label. Nothing more though ultimately.

See now with identity politics it becomes something more complicated. And you made it so.

Good job. Want a cookie?

Put another way, CC, why don't I give you a pizza cutter, since you want to be all edge and no point?

Oh... I'm stealing that one.

Eh, it's been said my generation is edgy, and there's certain valid criticism there. Let's just admit while generational labels are BS, that at the end of the day, like with all stereotypes, they come from somewhere, so there's a certain element of truth there.

We grew up in the age of the recession, the housing bubble, the decline of our institutions, and the rise of Mr. Obama as a history-shattering president, so there's bound to be edginess to us. While Millennials, from my understanding, grew up quite pampered in the eighties and nineties, so I could see where that viewpoint comes from as well. Not saying the world was perfect back then or a bleak pit of despair in the aughts. Just that I get where the perception arises.

Though IMO, it's no wonder that Millennials and Boomers are going at it, since they are often derided as the "ME ME ME ME" generation, just which is MOAR "ME ME ME ME ME ME!" And being edgelords, OFC we Zoomers are gonna go into it.

I feel like you only talk about in generalized manner on purpose just to dismiss the entire issue as a generalization.

Well, I hate generalizations, and so try to avoid those. I think ironically, it becomes generalizations.

Yeah I've never heard of people complaining about behavior they exhibit themselves.
