I just. I donât like this view of âmillennials vs Gen Zâ. This is NOT supposed to be a competition of who got fucked over the most and whoâs âactually fighting backâ.
Millennials are fighting back just by surviving in a job market where the minimum wage doesnât cover the living cost. Millennials are awesome at âkillingâ the diamond, golfing and napkins industries. Millennials are using the internet to make sure things that corporations want to keep in the dark are exposed. Theyâre open LGBTQIA-friendly business, theyâre supporting each other with online donations so everyone can survive this shitty economy.
And the Gen Z kids? The Gen Z kids are rad. I remember a post about something like the millennials making a collective promise to never become a disenchanted generation that only criticizes the next one and I want to point out that this âmillennials vs gen zâ trend is trying to do exactly that: split us apart. Prevent millennials from being the older siblings that teach the younger siblings to throw a good punch and turn them into the annoyed adult complaining about âthose kidsâ on their lawn. We are the two groups that grew in a connected world of information. We are two very unique generations.
I think that itâs our duty for us millennials, as a disrespected, underpaid, very angry generation to stand up by our younger siblings, and fight together the oppressive systems that brought us all to this point.
Theyâre trying very hard to pit Millennials and Gen Z against each other because I honestly think theyâre terrified of what the two will accomplish together.
