The funny thing is most people complaining about millennials are actually complaining about gen z.

Lol never worked for anything? 9/11 happened when we were in high school. We have been through a housing crash and 2 recessions, and now, when we should be starting to really advance in our careers in our 30s there is a global pandemic, and our kids can’t even go to school. So...: yeah. That’s how it’s going for our generation.


GenX here. Uh... Where do you think I was and am?


I think you probably graduated college and got a job at the height of our country's boom job market and got in at least a few years of employment before 9/11 hit.



Generation Xer here who graduated college in 94 during a recession, and had to work crap jobs for a few years.

These generalizations are amusing to me because me and most of my friends/peers are younger Gen Xers raising Gen Alpha (or whatever comes after 2010) because we all had kids late. There are a lot of people in the gray area of these arbitrary cutoffs.

This thread is too funny. Everyone on here thinks they are the archetype of their generation. No, you are the archetype of the UMC know it alls in a 15 mile x 15 mile bubble. It’s great amusement reading this thread so thank you!

Vast difference, though neither group was great. During my second tenure teaching, I had multiple Gen X parents contacting me to discuss their kid’s progress or to ask for excuses for late assignments, grade changes, etc. If you need to communicate with professors, your kid is not ready for the university environment. The students themselves were very quick to cry during office hours. I recommend the Coddling of the American Mind for further insight.

Though I think most of this with Gen Z is related to the social media component, parenting also plays a role. I always thought of Gen X as incredibly cool and still do. I also think they are the world’s worst parents. Just look at this thread. They think everything their kids do is perfect and adorable. Boomers were far too narcissistic for this level of coddling. TBD if millennials can top Gen X on raising weaklings but I imagine they will.


Millennials can't afford all the special spelling bee camps and violin retreats the GenXers subject their children to so there is hope for your future classes.

Just like millennials using their parents credit cards well into their late 20s.
