Haha look at these old people laughing at old people memes

FUCK
Older millenial here.
Lately I have started to realize, we are the new boomers.
The number of my co-millenials I see complaining about Gen Z with the exact same talking points that boomers had about us is kinda ironic.
Gen X’er here…thanks for forgetting us again. We really do appreciate being left the hell alone.
“Our youth now love luxury, they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders, and they love to chatter instead of exercise. Children are now tyrants not servants of their household. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”
Socrates, about 2400 years ago.
It’s not ironic at all.
Gen Z will complain about the next generation, and blame problems on the previous generation(s).
Why is this surprising?
Ironic, maybe, but definitely not new. Literally as far back as we have written language, we have people complaining about the younger generations.
