Privileged boomer right here
No war but class war. I will defend my Gen X brothers and sisters to the end.
for having the privilege to sit on your asses and do jack shit and then sitting on your asses and doing jack shit? bravo gen x. bravo. is that what you wanted?
I'm a millenial. I don't need your approval and never asked for it.
You're the one stuck on generational infighting.
If you want to reduce intergenerational conflict, it helps to acknowledge the pain and how society has failed the less privileged.
As a millenial, you likely had a fairly normal childhood, a privelege many GenZ did not, due to COVID.
Obviously this isn't your fault, and older generations have privelege you don't have. If we want to advance class interests we need to be intersectional, and acknowledge the unique problems that affect some groups more than others.
I agree. The unfortunate thing is that many young people online are so vitriolic toward those older than them it is hard to make that connection. Case in point the person above attacking someone for what seemed like no reason.
I was born in 1973, bitch. I'm no boomer.
You got a channel that actually had music in it :)
GenX is called boomer-lite these days
Yeah, in the generational war, it's always about shifting the blame to the other generation.
Boomer is about the old looking on the young as lazy, bad with money etc. while having the whole pie in their mouth.
If it quacks like boomer and smells like boomer...
uh, I think MTV was a generation or two after boomers?
