Not understanding and not approving of it are two different things. Millennials love our quirky/scary younger siblings, and I won’t hear otherwise.

Yeah Zoomers are great and I can even get down with some of Gen X.

The hate is for boomers only.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We Gen X is just the lost ones in the transition, or so I feel.

To me it's more that about half bought into the system and became the same as the boomers.

Totally. I know a lot of people my age that have forgotten why they voted for Clinton, Gore, and Obama, and are now all in on Trump and actively making the world a shittier place.

Meanwhile, I started out as a libertarian-leaning Republican in the early 90s, and I'm now an anarchist.

Being a boomer is a choice, not an age.

Can confirm, as a millennial I love zoomers and their humor. On god fr fr no cap.

[–] ngwoo@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I will never shit on zoomer humour because I used to watch YouTube poops

Damn right! I was jealous of these kids who had the courage to express themselves how they wanted and explore their identities outside of what was deemed "socially acceptable" back then, and I will fight tooth and nail for kids to be able to do the same today, even if I don't exactly understand what's "it" nowadays.

I'm almost 40 and sometimes I feel like the only thing I can identify as is a dick. So I try to put that to use for the benefit of others, be a dick to an asshole, save a pussy.

Bro.

Was that gay? Or, are you wearing socks.

[–] Cabrio@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You should slap your father for not having the common decency to wipe you on the curtains.

Can they do it without all having the broccoli hair perm though?

[–] Khotetsu@lib.lgbt 1 points 1 year ago

Be the change you want to see in the world!

I decided one day that I was gonna try growing my hair out, as I had it basically buzzed my entire life. I went from that to now having a ponytail so long that it reaches the small of my back (when it's not in a ponytail I have to be careful that it doesn't get caught when I put on pants or sit down), and along the way I inspired boys I worked with to try growing their hair out on multiple occasions. One didn't like how his hair basically turned into an afro and cut it, one has been rocking a shoulder-length viking-esque look for about 8 years now, and the last looks so much like white Jesus that Catholics do a double-take just to make sure the Rapture hasn't happened.

Pot Noodle perm, skinny tracksuit, pedo-stache and man-bag
