    The circle has already been broken, as ~zoomer, the vast majority of millennials I interacted with were really nice people.

      I’m a really young zoomer and most millenials I interacted with were also really nice.

      But there were also a few jerks

      I think boomers to millennials would make more sense. Boomers are so hateful and desperate to keep what was promised to them that they will hold on to it even if it costs 3 generations of people almost everything.

        Yeah that’s been my experience as well and I work for a bar. Most of my coworkers in that generation have been easier to get along with, easier to communicate with and don’t visibly panic at a “dead inside” joke. Direct contrast to my last workplace with more millennials/boomers. Ive yet to cop inter-generational shit talking from zoomers so they sure won’t get it from me. Plus look what they did with memes.

    I’m a millennial and I don’t understand why anyone from my generation would have a problem with zoomers. Y’all are good people.

    Never been called a snowflake or saw someone call another a cringe zoomer outside of toxic online communities.

    Whoever made this comic has never actually seen millennials and zoomers interact. We all cool.

          I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.

          Thanks for forgetting Gen X. We’ll be over in the corner playing video games. If anyone needs us? Don’t.

      Yes, but …

      Setting aside the polarized nature of named generations, as a class; for these are entirely arbitrary and designed to create polarization …

      There’s fun theory on the “Gen X are forgotten” meme. Yes yes, you Gen Xers got shafted, here’s a cookie 🍪 Please hear me out.

      Most people fall on the cusps of their “generation” and Gen X is no different - in this case, you’re either old enough to identify with boomers, and are shouting “snowflake millennial” with them; or you’re young enough to identify with millennials, but still too old to identify with Gen Z, so you’re shouting “cringe zoomer” with the millennials, they who are cuspers themselves and too old to identify with Gen Z. The quintessential Gen Xer is uncommon, but exceptionally kind. You always know when one is around though, because they are quick with a self deprecation point out that Gen X was “forgotten again.” 😉

      The sad thing is that many of the so-called boomers are being replaced by Gen Xers. And the millennials shouting the same inter-generational slurs will eventually take the throne of generational bully.

      On the other hand, there is hope inspired by this meme - all we need to do to stop inter-generational trauma is stop perpetrating it.

        The only millennials I give a shit about are the ones who made my life painful as they entered the working world and even then, away from the office as long as they are not trying to police speech we are chill.

    Baby Boomers as a generational cohort are well on their way to completely dying off and generational antagonism is a tool of the capitalist class to turn the workers of different ages against one another. Be better than that. Make better memes.

      Generational antagonism predates capitalism by about 2 thousand years (of our recorded history)
