Why are millennials hated and zoomers loved?

[Anonymous]

Even when millennials were just becoming a "thing", we were hated. I feel like I only hear positive things about zoomers.

I don’t hate millennials.

I don't mean personally, but in terms of how they're represented in the media and popular culture.

Completely off the cuff theory: Gen Xers resent Millenials and are critical of them because Gen Xers are critical by nature and hate anything they deem insufficiently “cool”. Millenials are the younger siblings to Gen X and treated with older sibling disdain.

Zoomers are the kids of Gen X, so of course they think their kids poop sunshine.

Zoomers or boomers?

Boomers are seen as selfish, former hippie "I got mine (to hell with you)" types. They ruined the planet. Hypocirtes who were all for "peace", then flipped as long as they can collect their social security.

Gen X were latchkey kids, fending for themselves, while both their parents worked hard and often - as Gen X will do.

Millenials are going to change the world for the better, I have no problem with them. They are educated and speak out, for the better.

My beef is with the "Greatest" generation - who are oblivious. They are reaping all the benefits of economy flukes and timing, while not paying it forward, but feeling supremely entitled. They bought a house for nothing ($30k in the hot areas in 1963), but think Gen X is "rich" for buying a house (at today's prices), without any help. Eff that. No one gave Gen X anything, for the most part.

Rich people, with generational wealth, also do not have my sympathy.

Because Millennials are so hooked on getting attention online, good or bad, that they start threads like this when no one has talked about them for 5 minutes.

If Millenials are going to change the world, Zoomers are really going to change the world. Hard to have a beef with them, really.

Gen Z (post-millennials)

Millennials are really entitled, raised in the medal for everyone (and if you don't do well in a test then you can just take it again) culture. They have no idea about the real world, never worked for anything, just want to protest all day and be given things.

Lemme guess. You are a Boomer.

My theory is that Millennials are at the age where they think they know everything. But unlike past generations who were taught to mostly show respect to people older than them, Millennials were taught to be vocal and that they can do no wrong. As a result, I see Millennials saying things that come across as both obnoxious and ultimately oblivious.

Gen Xer here.

The Millennials whine too much. Everything -- and I mean everything -- is an overwrought crisis. Doesn't matter what it is. Just move on already.

The Millennials also contradict themselves. I am strong and independent, but could you tell me whether I should order this in blue, or red? I can't decide for myself, I need help. If you're as independent as you say, then you shouldn't need my input for such a non-problem.

The Millennials come off as weak sauce. My Gen Z teens said the same thing without us ever talking about it before, which was funny.

NP. I'm not a Boomer but could have written something similar. I'm just someone just enough older to have Millennials reporting to me. I'm constantly amazed. And not in a good way.
