"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise" - Socrates.
In other words, every single generation throughout history has thought that they were far better than the younger generation. Anyway, here are some memes and pics for people who long for the days of the '90s.
Millennials and Baby Boomers have been engaging in humorous back-and-forth banter for quite some time now, but we're beginning to think that these "OK Boomer" memes mark the start of a full-on war between the generations. We're not saying that we think bullying is okay, however, there's only so much climate-change denial and sh*t-talking about avocado toast that a person is willing to take.
And perhaps the Millennials have reached their limit.
Some say that the Millennial generation's greatest contribution to society has been memes, and honestly we can't say we disagree. That might sound silly to people who are members of older generations, but young people know the importance of memes in today's dismal world. Memes are an art form, dammit.
Damn, some major shade thrown at Baby Boomers in this video, and we're pretty okay with it tbh!
It's a tradition that the older generations have to hate on the younger generations for absolutely any reason they can think of. Doesn't matter what for, because it was just "better back in the day," in their logic.
Self-described "recovering academic" Jenny Bann pulled up some hilariously enlightening historical records of the behavioral problems exhibited by 18th century male students in Scotland.
Let's just say they're...less than wholesome and make Millennials look angelic in comparison.
The war between Millennials and Baby Boomers has never been more pronounced! Twitter user @manhattanna tweeted earlier this week about a Facebook group in which Millennials communicate solely in Baby-Boomer lingo and let us just say, we're HERE. FOR. IT. The group hits way too close to home for literally anyone who's friends with a Baby Boomer on Facebook.
So without further ado, please enjoy a plethora of Minions, death announcements, and wildly inappropriately placed emojis!
Oh look, Millennials are back at it ruining everything! A new survey conducted by Porch and tweeted out by Now This News claims that Millennials might be the worst generation at cooking ever, and that nearly 40% don't even know what a butter knife is. Additionally, only about 40% know how to carve a turkey. The horror.
Porch surveyed 750 people of all ages, asking them if they considered themselves to be "good cooks" - just over 60% of Millennials answered yes, while well over 70% of Baby Boomers said the same.
Many on Twitter have pointed out that the reasoning and methods used by the surveyors is heavily flawed - it's almost like hating on Millennials is all just a big marketing ploy to distract us from real problems! Lol nah, that can't be it...
Social media can be a powerful tool when it comes to getting your comedic fix. We love Tumblr in particular for its cleverness, its cringe, and its straight fire comedy. Even if you yourself don't have a Tumblr account, you can still appreciate the users on the site who really uphold the highest standards of wit!
Regardless of what you think of the Millennial generation, we can all probably agree that the stereotypes surrounding them are pretty damn hilarious. These tweets poke fun at Generation Y's need for safe spaces, their obsession with avocado toast, and their addiction to technology. Now if only they'd quit demanding affordable healthcare - the horror!
