Given most millennials are under 36 (if you draw the line at 1990) their kids are not really old enough to vote on average, Gen Xers are better than boomers but it’s so fucking far from a lot.
Yeah that doesn’t jive anymore in the era of smartphones and social media unfortunately.
Parents are overworked in increasing wealth inequality.
School becomes a necessary daycare. Less time with parents, sadly. More time learning bad habits from peers.
Combine with easily access internet access. And if parents are strict they’re accused also of being helicopter parents bubble-wrapping their kids from reality. Connect the dots. Most saying it’s easy aren’t actually parents themselves.
That’s karma. Feel more clever than those who came before, find new ways to make the same root mistakes, curse the kids for not being grateful, not understanding our real struggles. No wonder kids check out, decide to sell themselves, drugs, some sort of “favors” while giving a fat middle finger to the 'rents and “can’t/don’t” have time for them. I was that kid. So were my parents. And theirs. The parent still in my life is bitter, angry, narcissistic. And after some hard life lessons, I realized how blessed I am. I caught glimpses of their trauma. One day a simple blurted truth and refused to speak of it again. And I suffered the same trauma by their hands. And I understood. Forgave. Loved anyway, from afar, when necessary. And now. Now as the light dims in their eyes, I realize how most actions, beliefs were from their own trauma. I recognize the impossible choices that had to be made. And I am so fucking grateful. Because it was still hard. But just a little bit less worse because of those impossible choices.
And I see your bitterness, probably from some sort of trauma. I wish you healing. Especially if you have kids.
That’s one guy making his case for it. Nobody uses his metric. Nice try trying push your narrative by source dropping in hopes that nobody actually reads the link.
I’m sorry to break it to you but Gen Z saw the largest shift towards conservatives in the youth demographic ever recorded. 7% more women 18-29 voted for Trump in 2024 than in 2020, and 15% more men 18-29. The youth voter turnout also decreased by as much as 10%. LINK TO SOURCE
This is true, but it’s also true that the internet did it to them because nobody ever held any technology companies accountable while there was still time. Every time I hear some idiot talk about how the dumbing down of technology was necessary because normal people don’t want to have to understand technology to use it, I remind them that not understanding technology is 90% of what got us to this point.
You vote matters, and therefor how people voted and continue to vote matters. Honestly, Gen Z is on my Shitlist for voting Trump back in.
Who raised them?
Google says GenX and Boomers, mostly.
Millennial are raising alpha mostly now.
Apparently Jake Paul, shamefully.

We live what we learn. These are ancestral patterns.

Ah yes, I remember in history being taught about the Gaul invasion of Rome being promoted by Gaelic Psyops’ app ChikChok. /s

It’s because a lot of your comments need replies. Maybe consider eating your own ass?
I feel bad for your kids. If they’re fucked up, it’s probably your fault.
Sorry you don’t like replying to you on a public forum. If you don’t like that, don’t post or comment.
Theres having discussion and debate in public
and then theres stalking and trolling
I’ve always considered millenials to be 1981-1995.
1985-2004

1985?! Nah there’s no way those of us early 80s-ers are Gen-X
I don’t believe in hard cut-offs, but I reckon it starts at approx 1980, and ends at approx “remembers 9/11”
I’ve got a hell of a lot more in common with Gen X than millennials. 1980 is way too early.

If you’d actually read it, you’d see that it’s used by the entire Joint Center for Housing Studies.

Feels weird to cut it off before the millennium.
Boomers did that shit. Not us.
