I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume this graph was created by a GenZ'er as they are the only people in the world who don't consider GenZ'ers cringe.

[–] Gemini24601@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

As a zoomer myself, I’m afraid that this graph is inaccurate

fuck the generational entelechy. No war but class war.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Now THIS is truely based

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Guys I think we should take this shit post seriously and get into fights with strangers on the internet about generations in the comments.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Being an ass on the internet is the most based thing a person can do. You're cringe if you disagree. smh my head.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Pff, your generation...

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Excuse me sir, is this the right room for an argument?

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

It is!

Fuck you.

Cringe is teenagers and 20 somethings hero worshipping Joe Rogan and supporting right wing christian nationalists. Lamest fucking generation around. Even boomers had a hippie phase before becoming old and bitter. Gen Z just skipped that and went straight to the conformist bootlicker phase.

[–] afronaut@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 month ago

Yea, millennials are the most progressive/leftist generation of them all.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

"But iswearimnotaracistjustracerealist1488 told me I will eventually become a conservative, so I decided to skip liberalism altogether!"

[–] WR5@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

What about the majority that are not doing that?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Generational warfare is pretty cringe. The chart isn’t even right, too. X was the highest percentage voting for trump generationally. I’m ashamed of my brethren.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Gen Z is the most cringe since the boomers. Your shit is breaking down into farts.

[–] Legom7@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Greatest Generation, the one that killed Nazis, was cringe?

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, the generation that killed Nazis is the silent generation. Boomers are their children.

[–] Legom7@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

My mom's dad was 10 in the 40s and was too young to serve, he was the silent generation. My dad's dad was 20 in the 40s and served in the army, he was the greatest generation.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

Gen X is actually cringe and millennials are based.

No, this has nothing to do with me being a millennial. It's cringe to even suggest that.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This meme brought to you by a gen zer.

Everyone is cringe. This is just life.

[–] StitchIsABitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup as soon as I saw gen Z based I knew. 5-10 years ago this would have been the opposite, it's always the generation of new adults that thinks they're hip and cool while looking down on the "kids". When I was younger we (millennials) all thought we were the coolest and made fun of gen Z for being cringe. Now gen Z thinks they're cool but soon enough they'll be old and lame too and gen Alpha will have the spotlight.

Just wait till a kid hits you with "sir" for the first time and then looks at you weird when you insist you're not that old.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Do people still say "sir"? I have only heard it in movies and stuff.

my parents are gen x and they are not based at all

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

GenX is not only cringe, they are the cringiest in history.

Fun Fact: This is the actual reason Kurt Kobain killed himself.

ITT: people taking a shitpost WAY too seriously

[–] LastStand@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gen Y just straight up deleted.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] LastStand@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Used to be 2 separate labels. Gen Y would shit on Millennials, then people kept changing the definition, and for a while everything after boomers were millennials.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 1 month ago

gen y just seems like it was an ad agency invention.

[–] shaserlark@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

Super cringe to say cringe unironically in 2025. Clearly, OP must be either silent generation or gen X because they called them based. Gen Z know not to say cringe anymore. I would like to say shut the fuck but that is a waste of energy as OP is probably one of the silent generation, which I conclude based on the fact that OP refuses to elaborate on this post, which is a clear indicator that OP is silent.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

why does the gen alpha kid have four hands

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Microplastics

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Silent Gen raised Gen X which raised Gen Z. Seems simple enough to me.

Also, millennials are just Boomers replayed. Hippies are almost a mirror image of millennials. I totally can't wait (sarcastic) for them to turn into yuppies (they already have) and become overtly materialistic to the point of robbing their own childrens' futures to keep up with the rising cost of avocados.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Toad, I would love to have all the advantages boomers had and I would gladly agree with you and chuckle and call myself a hypocrite BUT I CAN'T EVEN BUY A FUCKING HOUSE IN THIS ECONOMY.

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can't argue with that. But as a late Gen X, I graduated highschool at the time when my age was the wealthiest generation in human history. The politics that led us here is not just Boomers fault. Millennials, Gen X, and even the Silent Gen have blame here too. We were all too happy to see Clinton continue Reagan's pandering and then felt shoehorned into most of this by the 911 attacks. The economy collapsed and then Bush's policies totally saved us... for a few years. Then the recession hit and the Bush era legal changed wrecked our ability to regulate our government officials leaving us vulnerable to corporate slavery.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not a single millennial was old enough to vote for Clinton. Barely any were old enough to vote for Bush, even during his second term.

Do not lump millennials in with that mess. We didn't make it, we were just forced to grow up with it.

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I think that went right over your head. No one is blaming millennials here. That's just the string of events that led us here. I didn't say anywhere that millennials did any of that. Seriously you guys are just as easy to trigger as boomers.

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Late Gen X. I'm an outside watching boomers and millennials duke it out like a drunken bar fight.

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're confusing gen-x and millinials

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I got a silent Gen dad, and a boomer mom, and I am a younger Gen x. No, I'm definitely not. Most of Gen X had silent Gen parents. Most millennials had boomer parents. Obviously there is some bleed over.
