  • The only thing worse than being called aloof underachievers is being replaced by coddled crybabies. Two maligned generations face off to prove which one is superior: the slackers of Generation X or the digital natives of the Millennial crowd. This installment features debaters Rosebud Baker (Two Less Lonely Girls), Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, Crazy Rich Asians), Jessica Delfino (Funny Songs Festival), Christian Finnegan (The Fun Part), Dylan Marron (Conversations with People Who Hate Me), and Yedoye Travis (Dark Tank).
    You never know what to expect at this bi-monthly, wacky debate series that brings together two teams of comedians, writers, and performers to argue a chosen topic, such as which pet is superior cats or dogs and is it better to be comfortable or fashionable? Debaters will argue these lingering questions, drawing from historical fact and personal opinion in equal measure, and with plenty of silliness and audience participation. Forget about school reform and health care, these issues, heatedly argued by some of the funniest, smartest, intensely wacky creative thinkers around, are the topics that keep us awake at night....in a good way. Winner decided by the audience. Hosted by Matthew Love.

    Millennials: Worst, least original music, least original fashion, first generation to party LESS hard than previous generation, most selfish generation, most conceited, most whiny, and least self-sufficient. I kid, I kid, just using stereotypes. I'm actually hoping you guys save the animals and the planet. My gen is too tiny and cynical and we have no faith in humanity and as you get older (every generation) you care less about anything but (money) your family (money) and yourself (money). Everybody thinks it won't happen to them, but it does for most. I really hope you guys can turn it around, but I can't help but think it'll be more of the same. Humanity (on the whole) is too selfish an unwilling to sacrifice comfort or money or stop fuckin breeding to stop our self-destructive ways. All of us are killing the planet and all the innocent, feeling, living beings on it. We suck. All of us. “I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.”

Mostly sugar, and artificial preservatives.

      @@katieblake3023 Um, Gen X was called slackers by previous generations, not themselves. The biggest Gen X attributes are DIY ethics, and not giving a shit about what others think of them. That sounds like every person on that list of entrepreneurs.

    • @katieblake3023
      @katieblake3023 2 года назад

      @@POPNDOUGH Clearly Gen X cares about what others think of them, always bitching about being the overlooked gen (always randomly popping out "hi, yeah it's me, I'm still here" fashion), they are also more passive agressive about it which I don't respect, they'll deny while their actions show otherwise. I can empathize their childhood neglect (Gen Y arguably got worse parenting combo: neglect + narc. control) but I don't respect their spineless passive aggressiveness about it (grow some balls and own it) while shitting on other gens to make themselves feel better/superior. As for DYI ethics that's more questionable, it's so vague you could argue boomers they despise had this DYI attitude as well. Also not true in my experience of Gen X-ers, not much DYI ethics when they are always tartly complaining about their circumstances from a powerless position, always resentful (even entitled at times), always whining about why the higher ups don't retire or die off, while they do as they are told impatiently waiting in line for that promotion. Pretty passive if you ask me, and passive aggressive. Not much DYI maverick streak imo. A lot of them are pretty dead beat in many ways/areas of their lives (relying on recreational substance/drug use, barely there/lifeless in their jobs...even poorly doing their jobs,, etc.)...just passive with a chip on their shoulders. Let's be honest most of the individuals from that list of entrepreneurs would've been looked down on and been bullied by most of their Gen X-ers peers before their successes, which is what they'd used to do. Just ask Cobain or Musk. They stand out precisely because they differ in traits from most of their peers and were unique, carving their path away from their generation's herd/passive/deadbeat mentality.

      @@katieblake3023 What are you even going on about? Gen X is 1961-1981. All the creators of those companies fall in that range. They're Gen X. Every generation has bad, and good people, bad, and good traits. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with someone who might be a Gen Xer. Along with being the most entrepreneurial, and coolest Gen, we also hate drama, which is why we LOVE being forgotten, so, in true Gen X fashion, I'm out of this conversation. I've wasted enough time responding already. I didn't think correcting objectively false info was that controversial. To be honest, I can't even remember how I ended up watching this video, or what's in it. I hope you find happiness. Enjoy Gen X's gift to the world, RUclips. I'm gonna go back to watching 80s-90s music videos. BACK WHEN MUSIC WAS GOOD! (imho)

I'm Gen Y and it's quite the opposite, in fact I feel protective of Gen Z, esp from the abuse they get from older gens (disgraceful)...and as far as I know same with most Gen Y ppl I know. I try to pass on info to Gen Z-ers so they don't have to repeat/live through our mistakes/misery from all the lies, misinfo., and brainwashing from the Boomers (i.e. don't get massive loans that shackles you to indefinite debt slavery for that useless degree from indoctrination centers/universities infiltrated by demented boomer postmodernists and socialists of the 60s/70s, and corrupt regressive political agendas just because the adults/parents/school counselor pressured you to, don't just trust anything/one verify verify verify think critically for yourself, what you see is not what you get, propaganda media manipulation of masses, don't accept abuse from anyone esp. narcissistic abuse & enmeshment from family, etc.etc.) . The main thing I disagree the most with Gen Z is the whole ridiculous uber-PC fascist identity politics thought police cancel sht nonsense I see nowadays (but then again, I'm not entirely sure if most Gen Z think this way, I just notice there's more & more of this kind of retarded sht happening now with younger ppl than my generation), but then again who taught the Gen Z-ers this retarded fascist propganda garbage in the first place? That's right, their indoctrination centers/school + media controlled by radical left politics from Boomers and Gen X-ers. Jesus. They're young still, hopefully they figure out this sham as they mature.
