    My millennial (or maybe gen x) roommate spends a lot of time on tiltok, so she’s always teaching me (a gen z) new ‘gen z’ slang.

    It’s fun, but on the other hand she has a pretty skewed perception of young people. She’s always watching engagement-bait content online, and she seems to think most people my age are complete idiots.

    I mean don’t get me wrong, we are idiots, but we’re not a different species or anything lol.

        People who complain about younger people are the biggest idiots who forgot that other idiots said the same about them a long time ago. Same with those who complain about older people a little too much.

        Yup. I went to school and college with some monumental idiots back in the day. I had my moments too, of course. Idiocy transcends generations.

      No. Gen Z is the future. The rest of us are dinosaurs.
