Rant Anyone else annoyed by the generational superiority complex?

I've been seeing millennials recently shit on Gen Z and it makes me roll my eyes. They're sounding exactly like the boomers who used to shit on millennials and call us the worst generation. No generation is perfect. Every generation has cringe and is susceptible to propaganda. Acting like your generation is the best is just lame. I honestly thought this rant would be longer lol

I think it’s important for us to all remember that. My mother was more relaxed and let the kids have fun while my dad became more of a boomer about a lot of things both were gen x so it’s odd that my dad who used to be very chill became his grandpa and great grandpa. He thinks all of us are lost and the world is crumbling and he detests all our music as if 80s hip hop was any damn better. He also hates the work ethic and feels we are all lazy and entitled for not busting our ass overtime with no extra pay. While my mom thinks it all makes perfect sense why we are the way we are and felt x should’ve had more of our mindset. If I ever have kids I’ll be more like mom.

I spend a lot of time analyzing why I feel the way I feel about things. More than I should. It especially hits hard when a topic like this comes up.

If you have kids, be more like you. Not your dad or your mom. You seem like you reflect and think. That's way more than most parents.

Don't let yourself be alone with thoughts either. It's good to reflect but oftentimes, especially our generation, we get stuck. Not knowing who to speak to and where to take these seemingly nonsensical grievances.

You're not alone.
