As a gen z, I've only ever heard "cheugy" used by people complaining about the use of "cheugy" lol, and ive heard it never in person. The internet is a weird place
i’ve never heard of anyone in gen z trying to cancel eminem, i mean maybe? the most i’ve heard is some people making fun of him for doing a fortnite concert
We are also ACTING much older now, as if we are in our 40s or 50s. We are already saying things like, “Back in my day, we played outside!” And, “Kids these days are too obsessed with their phones and will never know what it was like to play outside!”
this is literally a defining point of gen z lmao. we were the last generation to have an early childhood before smartphones and smart tvs and tablets and stuff, the last generation to have console games and to REALLY go outside to play, because we had to lmao
@@luckas221ajust say you sit at home every second of your free time. Unactive people claiming "kids dont go outside no more" will always shows your age. My neighborhood haven't had a quiet evening in years, not one. over 13 kids yelling like they're being ran over everyday, its gets so loud that its a point that when they head to the park and there is no more yelling the neighborhood community board began blowing up and doors slamming open. How about walking your blook for once, be a community person and not a loner who thinks free time is only home time before claiming something so dumb. There have always been lazy kids, inside kids and active kids. Who did you think made the first game consoles, someone who loved the beach, and playing tag.
same. my cortisol levels have been out of whack for years, and it’s definitely showing. my face is already sagging and i’m only 26. i have wrinkles already too. i also had horrible cystic acne when i was younger, and i took accutane twice which definitely fucked up my skin. i spent A LOT of time in outside when i was younger, and i wasn’t wearing sunscreen for most of it. so yeah, im definitely aging faster than i should be. i low key want to get a mini face lift because i’m not ready to look like i’m 50 yet
Same. I started going bald at 18 due to stress, and only about 1 year ago did I start to notice new baby hairs coming in, after trying every single treatment under the sun to stop myself from looking like a Catholic monk.
For real. I am allergic to dyes and sensitive to chemicals (hoping to get a food sensitivity panel and chemical testing done for myself) and I def think those have helped me HAVE to avoid things that would age me faster in a way that harms my health. IDC about wrinkles, white or grey hair, etc. It's the healthy decline I don't want. I'm already chronically ill and disabled.
Even as a younger gen z (2007) I think the notion of "gen z doesn't even know how to rewind a vhs tape!" incredibly funny because if you didn't have rich parents who were buying you all the new tech you had older tech. I grew up reading magazines, watching VHS tapes, and I had my mom's old iPod instead of a phone. My elementary school was underfunded so our teachers would wheel out an old TV with tapes and put them in a VCR player. Like it's not a generational thing, it's a wealth thing.
this comment is so fucking true, honestly. i'm also a 2007 gen z kid and im obsessed with older technology and i've always found it easier to use because i was around it as a kid a lot.
The division will happen with or without naming generations. There is a quote: The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers. Socrates was the person who said that. Feeling disconnected from both younger and older generations is basically a given. It happened long before corporations existed and will continue on as long as humans exist.
It was originally sociologists and researchers (think medical and cultural studies) but you just know media and marketing corporations were bound to latch on to it
Those millennial women clapping back at gen z in song format was the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen, I had to skip that segment before I started taking damage. I don't have any beef with gen z as a millennial myself, they're getting the shaft same as us.
I'm a rather late millennial ('93) and I really don't get the negativity towards younger generations. And it's not just the 'gen z is looking older'-thing. From what I'm witnessing in my corporate job, there's also a lot of negativity and prejudices towards Gen Z. "they just want to chill", "they leave to early", "they're not working hard enough" etc. When in reality most of Gen Z just knows their own worth, prioritizes themselves over a job and just leaves, when they're not valued. And I think this is pretty badass and I have a lot of respect and admiration for my younger colleagues ❤
All generations always say the younger one don’t want to work. Even some philosophers of old published stuff where they said the exact same thing about their kids or grandkids. It’s a tale as old as time. What people don’t understand is that Gen z lives in a time where there is a workers shortage. In most developed nations more people Reiter then start working. So yes they demand more cause they can. We aren’t dumb we know that the job oftentimes needs us more then we would need it. Back in the day it was the other way around everyone was replaceable cause there were always people in search of a job. That meant you had to go overboard with your work do unpaid overtime cause otherwise you would just get fired and replaced by a more „productive“ worker. I grew up watched my parents over work themselves and realized that it’s not worth it. I will do exactly what I am paid for. And only during crisis will I deliberately do more.
I'm a geriatric Millennial and I think the cringe is more a TikTok thing than an age thing. I want to remove my eyeballs after seeing that sequence with people my age making cartoon faces and acting like morons. Cringe is cringe. Social media attracts all the sad Tinkerbells of the world that will do anything for attention, regardless of the price.
For real, I'm in my 40s, why would I care if teens and early 20s folks find my fashion sense or language cringeworthy. It would be weirder if they didn't tbh. Middle age comes to us all if we're lucky.
As an older gen z, I fully thought those “millennial core” videos were meant to poke fun at the content a lot of GenZ grew up seeing. When most of the content creators we liked to watch were younger millennials. Like I fully thought (and still do) that these were skits meant to perfectly emulate that specific strain of humor.
@@delaney9383 true but I also just barely see this stuff in most platforms. Tiktok is where it runs rampant. Very very occasionally I'll get a YT short like the tiktoks she showed. That's it.
my dad set the tone on aging for me when i was young. He said “it’s ok if I look “old”. I want the world to know i’ve lived a long and happy life” and ever since I have such a positive outlook on aging
My mom had me convinced turning 30 was the end of the world. Like she hit 29 and said she was 29 every birthday after for the next 20 years. Then I hit 30 and didn’t feel old. I’ll be 38 this year and haven’t felt that horror of aging yet.
My dad would always say he was 29, to the point where I legitimately had absolutely no clue what his real age was. It's so weird to me why people are afraid of aging, like it happens to everyone, and it doesn't seem that bad tbh.
That’s actually awesome you don’t feel old!! My aunt always said “you’re only as old as you feel”…..but I turned 30 this past December and definitely noticed how much older I felt and looked lol. So I think I’m gonna start doing what your mom said and just start celebrating my 29th birthday for the rest of my life 😂😂
As a millennial, I find it disappointing to see people from my generation pulling the same crap that we hated Boomers pulling on us. I refuse to participate in the "back in my day" discourse with the younger generation.
Thank you, genuinely, from a 21 y/o Gen Z! Going forward, I’m very passionately trying to remind myself to keep to this mindset with regard to Gen alpha, and then beta and so on. (Rip generation beta though once they start coming around, they really got the short end of the stick with that name huh?)
also a millennial and idk about anyone else but my main opinion is i dont want to be cool to people significantly younger than me i SHOULD be at least a little uncool and ill die before im out here chasing 22 year olds for approval
Frrr I had to realize that no matter how childish or silly it seems, if something makes me happy that’s all that matters. I’m gonna stick to loving Steven universe and stuffed animals n shit like that!! Lol
I’m a ‘98 baby and I remember the rainbow parachute both as a kid as well as as an adult teaching kiddos. You’re absolutely right, there really isn’t that much of a difference between the generations
Millennial here and I think you did a great job breaking down and analyzing this. We should just treat each other with respect at the end of the day because NONE of us are getting younger.
just starting the video but the discourse about millennials vs gen z is impossible to escape as a creator who bases their content around nostalgia.. gen z gets heavily grouped with the younger end of our generation & people can't accept that things overlap! I'M TIRED
It’s such an interesting take to say gen z is “aging like milk” when gen z is so broad and at such different life stages. There’s people who are 27 and people who are 14, yeah, many of us were forced to grow up quicker but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Plus the term itself is so stupid because milk doesn’t even necessarily age badly.
honestly, as a 23 y/o it gives me absolute whiplash to be technically in the same generation as my 13 y/o sister… our experience of the Internet and society is fundamentally different. generational distinctions are a bit arbitrary to begin with but i honestly think generational boundaries need to get shorter because of the rapidness of change. most people think of gen z as being in their tweens to mid teens… which is why i usually call myself a zillenial. gets the point across better.
Comparing people to milk is already weird, even before people use it to rate the aging of 14-27 year olds. You know. An age group known for maturing in appearance.
I saw that recent Brittany Broski interview clip going around where the guest said his worst diss ever received was “you’re aging at the speed of white” 😂😂😂 I’m definitely going to use that one instead of milk
I'm 20 years old. I was asked if I was even old enough to drive last week. Fr though people need to take breaks from social media, I swear most online discourse like this is solely caused by the chronically online.
im 26, but easily pass for someone 10 years younger. every now and then i get someone thinking im in high school - usually other high schoolers. i love seeing people's faces when i tell them i graduated in 2015! strangely, i rarely get carded. usually i think because im with my mom who is 66 and they trust im old enough or at least they trust my mom to know im legal to drink. one time i showed a teen a pic of me when i was their age - 16 - and he looked back at me and said "WHAT? YOU LOOK YOUNGER NOW, YOU'RE A WITCH!" XD
I’m 37 and my supervisor said I’m too young to have money problems. I’m a single mom with my disabled mom living with me. I don’t think there’s an age limit for that.
@@jessicatgrowl7614 wild of somebody to say that when those people are also like “you’re 28, why don’t you have a baby? Why aren’t you married? I was married and have a baby when I was 25!” They’ll probably make a comment about how their body “bounced back” too haha Also I’m not 28 that just seems like the perfect age for them to be at peak unrest about this lol
im a cusper, i was born Feb 1997 and growing up i was always told i was a millennial unlike high school when they started saying i am a zoomer. it's all bullshit anyways, the years they decide on are all arbitrary
Hey bday twin hahaha I think your cultural experiences shape what generation you are more explicitly than the year you were born. My brother is a 99 baby and acts more like a millennial than some of the fellow 97 babies I know. It's interesting and agreed totally arbitrary. But I'd argue still a very real phenomenon
@@CHiCguitar oh absolutely I agree, I grew up with two older siblings 6 and 4 years older than me so I def grew up as a millennial. I can def see it being different if I was the oldest
I'm from 1996, literally the cut off year and I've come to a decision about this Gen Z vs Millennial stuff: it's pointless, and it only distracts us from our real enemies... Boomers.
Half of my siblings are a decade younger than me. We don't have beef. This is beyond meat. This is fake stuff made to look like beef so people can sell it.
Born 1997 and couldn't agree more. Both my older siblings are Millenials and I've had the exact same experiences growing up as them. It's so dumb for these generations to fight like this.
I have memory issues and forgot the name of your channel, but I wanted to unwind by watching your vids so I searched up "hello sinners" on the RUclips search bar and it brought me right to you as the first result
millennials care. i’ve never had a genuine convo with anyone in gen z about this whole thing that wasn’t prompted by a millennial. they’ll act like they don’t care, but they will go out of their way to be performative.
@@pixie9499because this happens with every past gen, it happened from boomers to millennials and even though millennials desperately claimed they wanted to end it, they brought it back. But it happens to every gen, people just hate teens and twenty somethings. Around the time each gen hits that age they get the most hate.
I’m gen x. Aging is part of LIFE. You can age gracefully, lovingly naming each new wrinkle, knowing it was formed from years of living, feeling, loving and losing. I’ve never in my life “acted my age”. Our adventure is short..time is limited. Laugh out loud, dance in the rain, jump in puddles…live your life no matter WHAT your age is…and stop worrying about what others think about you. Especially those you don’t even KNOW!
THIS! I'm AuDHD (autistic and ADHD) and I have never once given a fuck about acting my own age. I read more advanced things and played T rated games as a kid (mostly because of older siblings--and BOY did the school hate my reading below or above my grade level), even attempted college maths at 10 (duh I didn't know what to do, but my older bro let me look at it and try is the point), and I'm a 21 year old with a pastel room full of plushies, blankets, and pillows, lol. Granted I have more adult books, own blades, crochet at ton for myself, and have more items that a kid prob shouldn't for safety, but I don't care about my room being "childish", because it's what makes me happy and is a safe space. I dress how I like because of comfort. I always dressed like "an old lady" according to kids at school. I was comfortable, who cares. Hell, a few weeks ago I bought a made for 1+ and up plush shark because I love sharks and could shove my hand in it's mouth to store things. Fun is fun, and as long as you don't hurt yourself or others, it REALLY shouldn't matter.
Yeah, as a Gen Z I'm honestly mostly happy with my weathering. While it has worked to hurt me in the past being given adult responsibilities at a younger age, now that I'm grown I feel more equipped to take on the world and am glad that I have moved past so much at my age. Aging isn't the only thing that causes someone to be undesirable, and I hope the rest of the world is able to figure that out one day. Because calling someone ugly for it is one of those metrics that would really turn me off personally. Like being rude is not attractive, regardless of what your truth is.
Hello fellow Gen-X person. I wonder if your experience matches mine: having been ignored by both boomers and millennials, we now get to sit on the sidelines and watch not one, but two inter-generational slap fights erupt during our lifetimes. (neither of which we have a part of!)
I found my first white hair a couple weeks back and celebrated by broadcasting it. As someone who still struggles with depression, the fact that ive lived long enough for a white hair to grow is amazing and should be celebrated. When I find my first wrinkle, I think Ill cry of happiness.
Fair. I have never been super super depressed bar after trauma, I mostly have anxiety. But for years I've have a few white hairs in my hair that is semi-multicoloured like my Mum's. I LOVE them, and I kind of hope to have all pure white hair by the time I am 30, since I have brown eyes and think that would be a REALLY cool combo. I also have super long hair, so I'd look like a snow elf, lol.
I've always told people I don’t care how old I get. Another year older is another year I've survived on the planet. Thank you for giving me the idea to show off the white hairs too
I’m an ooold dude. Trends *flew* by in the 70’s and 80’s. There were often multiple distinct trends at once. They’re trends. They’re fads. They aren’t traits. They were fun and disposable, and recyclable BTW Edit: Oh sh!t was that woman trying to rap? Ugh
People don't realise how freeing it is to not care about being relevant, or trendy. I recently realised that for the first time in my life, groups of teenagers don't scare me anymore (even as a teen, groups of teens were so scary). Everyone needs to embrace the freedom of not giving a f*
I realized that too!!! I saw a group of younger teens on a train platform i was heading towards and i didn't feel the need to watch my every step and didn't feel all self conscious. So freeing to feel that!!
yeah i agree the notion of being alive (aging) shouldn’t even be taboo, and the fact that aging just comes down to genetics and lifestyle. being alive is pretty cool and ppl should acknowledge that
As a queer person, I think a lot about how being born in 96 puts me in about the second generation of Queer people to be born after the discovery of HIV and the AIDS epidemic. Every year I get older is a privilege that many of my forebears weren't afforded.
AGING IS NOT A PRIVILEGE! The old people (like 30+ year olds) told me to "never get old" and "its horrible." If its a choice between death and back pain. I know what I'm choosing when I'm 35.
Right. Like I think a lot of people on people they see on the apps are content creators and influencers that that have access to fillers and I do think fillers do age people who are in their 20s. So they see that and are like omg what is going on. But like regular degular people who you are most likely not gonna run into on social media because algorithms look fine. Plus older people look “younger” because we aren’t smoking and drinking and we wear sunscreen, we don’t even spend that much time outdoors. All that plays a role in aging.
im either younger gen z or older gen alpha and OMG THE RAINBOW PARACHUTE THING IN ELEMENTARY i used to throw the dodgeballs on top of it and run under the parachute when i wasnt supossed to the teachers HATED ME sorry ms roxanne
One of the things I’ve noticed that even if you’re born later and if you’re poor you’ll have a lot of the same experiences as older generations. At least tech wise. I was born in 2005 but grew up with a lot of old technology bc that’s what we could afford so I relate to older gen z and millennials more often.
This, I didn't get my hands on any tech that wasn't at least 5 years old due to poverty. I had a sega genesis as a kid, a game system older than I am. when the rest of the world was on blu-ray I was still stuck with VHS tapes. I feel like most content on tiktok is made by well off people which warps our perception and makes poorer people feel excluded. "Do you remember tamagochi?" No, I was too poor to afford one.
LMAO at people who get upset that the things they like aren't fashionable anymore. Just wear what you like. Sincerely, a 28-year-old Millenial who finally bought those Uggs they always wanted but weren’t allowed to have as a teenager. 😂
the parachute thing in gym is such a weird thing to try and gate keep. i remember running that station during field day in 8th grade and the kids loved it. that was in 2018. i bet they still use that thing at my middle school.
genuinely believe y'all need to get off social media. i've been off tiktok, ig, twitter, etc. for 2+ years now so all of this discourse goes over my head and i don't have to stress over things that fundamentally do not matter.
@@lilliynslavens4413 u can be i promise. delete the apps. even offload them. get a fun game instead or start reading an ebook/webcomic/fanfic. i believe in u.
bit late to the vid, and i have to ask: how do you stay social and experience fulfilling relationships? (my intent is not to be condescending, just genuine curiosity) im not asking because i believe social media is the only way to socialise, or the superior method. im asking because for me (18), i find it really hard to make long-lasting friends outside of social media. it's almost like social suicide not having an active presence on insta, tiktok, whatever. i do think instant gratification has altered my expectations of how quickly i should form deep friendships, and that's something ill work on. happy to hear your thoughts 🌺
@@adorbiequeen232I don't have an active presence on any app but do have a bad habit of scrolling content (which I am slowly trying to dwindle) and I am still actively talking to my mate. The other main thing is trying to push to meet up with people and to actively talk about your common interests.
as a thirty-something millennial it's SO embarrassing to have adult (midwest) theater kids represent you online. Of COURSE the cringiest weirdos get embarrassed by teenage opinions. They're the only adults who care about impressing teenagers.
@solus8685 I think whether everything nowadays being about gen z and gen alpha highly depends on the circles you run in. Most well-adjusted adults interact more with their peers rather than focus on what much younger people are interested in. Unless you're in marketing, I guess.
I don't know where this bs comes from, but Gen Z are amazing- the capitalism that encourages people to spend so much energy, money & time trying to stop natural processes that are necessary & fine is there to make people hate themselves. I don't want GenZ to hate themselves at all, especially not for natural processes that are a part of life. Also as an old millenial women, I am happy to look cheugy. My love of camo is reflective of my lifestyle as an old working women who works outside... stains & dirt blend in... it is completely reflective of me being old so if young people don't want to dress like me, fair enough... I only started wearing camo hard out in the last 5 years anyway, BECAUSE of my age.
Whats actually going on is that we think of your 30s and 40s as looking like people in the late 20th century did but regardless of vaping both millennials and gen z are drinking and smoking way less than people did in the mid-late 20th century, and we’re using sunscreen so we’re all experiencing less premature aging
this. actually giving up tanning and committing to sunscreen and, tbh, not having to go through a biohazard event in formative years, really does a lot for the 'looks' of the human body.
The millennial guy was basically right about millennials being the new standard for aging. Since millennials look younger (compared to Gen X and up) Gen z would comparably look more similar to them, which makes them think Gen z looks older than their age. Maybe Gen z will just be the exact same and take decades to start showing signs of aging bc both generations took better care of themselves. That's my interpretation anyways.
@@TheQueerTailorI believe this is absolutely true. Pair that with the more retro in style fashion right now. That’s all it is. The face doesn’t really change much from around 25-40ish
Every single generation bitches about their children. Just look at the history of the phrase "nobody wants to work anymore". I've seen references going back to 1894, "it is becoming apparent that nobody wants to work in these hard times".
Gen z isn’t really aging bad. We’re just not kids anymore. Like most of gen z is in their early to mid 20s. Do they expect everyone to look like babies forever? I don’t get it
@@captainngoose it was the same with millennials. Some older people are still thinking of millennials as 18 year olds lol. I think some people learn the term refers to young people then don’t make the connection that those young people are still part of that generation as they age. It’s odd.
I think the point that Chris guy was making was just that Millennials have aged better than earlier generations and a lot of people have speculated that it's because we missed out on things like secure careers and buying a house. I am sure you look fine for your age. I think it's true that people don't realize how old gen Z is. Also everyone on every side of the argument is cherry picking.
Tbh even if they were right, why would it be so bad? If you look at the amount of stress gen z has been put on with all the information, knowing the world is going to die, the contamination, altered food and seeds, a pandemic and more, you could expect Gen z looking so tired, like i'm old Gen z but the generation of my brother has had panic attacks and mental health issues since they were like 10 and my first panic attack was at 15, this included a lot of my classmates too who started to have mental health issues around the same age. We need to cut Gen z some slack
funnily enough, i only heard of the word earlier while watching tro's video on james corden and see it pop up here right afterwards was a mindfuck for me 😭😭
Tbh, after 9/11 the media REALLY changed. It felt like it really kickstarted the 24/7 scare media. I was maybe 10 when this happened, but the thought of growing up with that then transitioning to social media which can be just as bad with scare media and unrealistic beauty standards… sounds roughy ):
2005 baby, my parents would get me any magazine that would include MCR or fob when I was a kid and I wish I could go back to those days, I miss good teen magazines
I’m an elder millennial. I think people my age who care about any of this are the people who have always cared way too much about how people perceive them. I’m over here trying not to be perceived at all most the time. I don’t tie my identity to things that are fleeting, like trends and age. These people are so annoying, and I think, deeply sad. The 35+skinscare subreddit is full of millennials (& gen x) so insecure about aging, they’re trying not to smile anymore. The way millennials are GLEEFUL about gen z going through difficult shit is gross. Grow up
I agree, this is basically categorizing people based on what month they were born, basically astrology. I was born in 93 and honestly I'm not surprised to see some millennials going this toxic route but I have high hopes and expectations of Gen Z, after all they are the generation who stood up to the Israeli genocide and put the pro Palestinian position on the map, they are also a generation who is taking empathy and kindness very seriously and are realizing that science and technology don't mean anything if they are not used for humancentric and are used for the interest of people instead of for profit. And btw, at the risk of oversimplifying this looking old issue, some Gen Z people do look older and it's due to how they dress, but it's not bad, it's whatever, do your thing, and as older siblings, a lot of us look at you guys (Gen Z) as a hopeful promise for our world and we will be there to help get rid of the "If I suffered through it, then everybody should suffer through it" mentality.
Yep, older millennial here too and I'm just trying to raise my kids to not need years of therapy. I don't notice or care about trends, or what people think of how I part my hair / what jeans I wear. Most of us just don't have the time or energy to care. 😂
I think these are the millennials that weren’t cool in high school and were either bullied or felt the immense pressures of being the first gen to have social media and instead of growing after it and maybe going to therapy they’re reveling in gen z… what? Going through traumatic shit on a global scale during our formative years?? Being told it’s our responsibility to fix the dying planet we inherited and that all of that responsibility was forced unto us?? It’s also not a bad thing to look older… and many people don’t know what 20 looks like. I’m 21 and I’ve been told I look ~25 when no I look the age I am because I am that age and so does everyone else my age and whatever age they are.
also as a gen z myself, we're literaly teenagers or yougn adults, which means that we work, we go to school plus all of that stress and sleep diprivation, No wonder we have eye bags, and then this dude who has money and rest is like "yall look old" we don't, we look poor. Which you find ugly for some reason, but being poor does affect our looks ty we know that
Seriously. Like most of it is that we look tired when... Yeah. The world is crazy, we were the first to be raised with unfettered access to the internet as we know it and most of us had to grow up pretty fast because of it. Like explaining to my older friends that it was normal to mess with online pedos when I was 11 and saw a man beheaded before middle school and they wonder why we're all stressed and depressed, especially now that we have the added stressors of adult life, the pandemic etc??
Exactly, only millenials with a lot of money don't look tired, the rest of us, poor millenials et gen z, we look tired and older we actually are because of lack of sleep, stress ect
Right like even though I have like 6 years to go I'm still stressing abt how im gonna make it, like if ill even be able to thrive like I'm stressing abt the money the work and I'm trying my hardest to be good in school to learn about stuff now so that'd be atleast one thing that would kinda come easy when I'm older😭😭
millennials and gen z really aren’t so different, but internet content enforces divides more than encourages togetherness. don’t know why we NEED to be divided as generations…
As a Spaniard I find that this discourse only applies to the USA (that I know of). I've only seen this Millennial vs Gen z "war" on the US side of the internet. The only thing I've heard of is the skinny jeans thing, but it's like a 'out of style thing', not an us vs them thing.
Yep. I’m a Swede and I only see it discussed by Americans. But I also think they’ve been wayyy more bombarded with messaging about how bad not being young is, and that only young ppl matter etc. so they struggle
As a (Puerto Rican) American, it has to be just an online discourse with people who are too online. What's weird is that depending on the generation, your style is either cringe or cool
the reason men weren't part of the cheugy trend is simply because we never looked good in the first place. yes a champion hoodie, biker jeans, and checkered slip on vans are the male cheugy fit, yes men still wear that fit daily, yes that's kind of my point. you can't cringe at your old fits, if your new fits are either the same, or just as cringy.
This is the same reason why men are rarely the subjects of "who wore it best" exercises and other fashion related discourse. Especially for red carpet events, picking apart which guys look good in a tux can become very personal and petty much more quickly than with the distraction of the different shapes and styles women wear. Men's fashion changes so much slower than women's and repeats more often.
Cheugy was actually barely used by Zoomers, even in 2021. Millenials just found out about it, started trying to figure if they were "cheugy," which made Gen Z immediately stop using it because they saw it being used by millenials. Then a bunch of millenials kept convincing each other that Gen Z did use it and the only reason they didn't know is because they were "cheugy." Got this from an EtymologyNerd short
I have never once heard a millenial use the word cheugy. I heard one or two Zoomers use the word cheugy, but nowhere near enough to think Zoomers were shooting it off regularly. I don't think millenials killing it off is right, either. I think a few people used it, and it was a very distinct word that stuck in people's heads, so we thought about it a lot, but it was never really a big thing that was thrown around in any meaningful way. Hell, the examples of people using the term in this video, all of those people sound like they're trying their best to use an unfamiliar foreign word they _just_ learned. Cheugy is the "they're eating tide pods" of slang; that wasn't really a thing.
@@YourWaywardDestiny i have no evidence for this, but my personal theory is that it went the way this commenter described, but instead of millennials ruining it, it was corporations and news outlets trying to “keep up with the times”
I always feel so awkward talking about my fear of growing older, because I’m not afraid of aging in the general “wrinkles, smile lines, oh no do I look thirty” way. I have a baby face that won’t go away, I want to actually look my age. But I have a severe fear of actually growing older, particularly because I’m about two months and a year younger than my bio mom was when she passed, and that scares me. And 20 sounds like the first adult age to me (which is what I’m turning soon) and I’m just now applying for college, I don’t work, and because of various factors, I feel stunted. When my mom was my age, she was in college, about to have a kid (albeit unplanned), working part time, and I sit in my room drawing all day and stress crying when I think too hard about what career the degree I’m hoping to get will even help me get. The world is so hostile and scary, and I feel so unprepared to ever fully enter it.
It's okay. I was 22 when I finally moved out from my parent's home and went to college. I'm now 27, living with my mother-in-law and unemployed bc my education field is overflooded. You have plenty of time and aren't too late. Me? I'm probably too late 😂
🫂 i feel u on multiple levels here. the low family life expectancy and the whole 'how can i even live life to my fullest when the world is like this? i cant even afford gas to take me to the grocery store or my doctor' etca etca dont know if it would make u feel any better but im right there w u 🤝🏽🫂🫂🫂❤️❤️❤️ try not to let the numbers hang over u friend. i kno its hard
This! I’m not scared of getting older because I don’t want wrinkles or stretch marks, I’m scared of all the unknowns and decisions I don’t feel equipped to make and how do I know I’m choosing the right path and someday everyone I love will grow old too and move away and (morbidly) all of us will die and that’s a hard thought to deal with!
i'm in a very similar boat. about to be 20, feeling like my mom had more experience when she was my age, drawing alone in my room and stressing over where i'm going to find my career in the world. there is wayyy too much pressure to have things figured out, even by some peoples' standards to have kids by the time you're 30. i can't offer wisdom or advice because my experience is essentially similar. but always keep in mind that for every older persons accomplishment, it's increasingly harder as time goes on to accomplish the same with how it's statistically more and more difficult to get jobs, buy a house, or have kids, all usually due to economics, and all of which is out of our control. we can both figure it out, your own pace is the perfect one for you 🫂
11:45 WHAT I literally just started eating popcorn right before you said "Hey, Stop chewing", and I actually feel so seen in the worst way possible lmfaooo
exactly this !! tangentially related, but, it gets especially frustrating seeing young white queer folks attempting (and failing) to use words that have their origins in ballroom slang, all while ignoring the roots and history of most of the "gay lingo" they hear.
I was born in 2007 and i had tamagachi, the rainbow parachute, the box tv in the lviing room when i was wee, like some people just want to think theyre special!😂❤
As a 1994 baby, I think the only reason gen z looks "older" is that their hair styles (middle part, mullets, etc) is what our boomer parents had and pushed on us a lot. I think it's just old styles we don't like, coming back into style. But that's just my game theory. I love my post 9/11 gen z siblings ❤
Chris’s video actually did make me stop and think. When I first saw the other girl’s video I didn’t think much of it. I knew it was hurtful but I also thought Chris’s response was worse. But his apology actually made me think about how hurtful that could be. He’s right; you really can’t understand until you experience it. As a sixteen year old, if I was told I was going through a midlife crisis for whatever reason I wouldn’t care. But im also not at that age yet. I’m not having a midlife crisis. So I couldn’t understand how that affected Chris until he explained it
I'm a young millennial and this whole thing seems ridiculous to me- like, why would I care that gen z thinks I'm not cool? I was the weird art kid, my own generation didn't think I was cool 😂 Idk man, I've never understood trends and stuff. I've always just done my own thing and hung out with people who respected that- it's left me a pretty happy person, all things considered.
This right here. I was out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist of my own generation, so literally nothing has changed for me. I have plenty of Gen Z friends, because shockingly, people tend to bond over shared interests and chemistry and don't give a rat's ass about what half of which decade you were born in real life.
I don't think any of both generations are aging differently, we are just focusing on very specific cases, I've seen millenials who look their age, others look younger and some others older, the same with gen z, social media has just made us believe that aging is bad and looks ugly which is sad
Very true and I also think we just have a lot of cases. Like for the first time we have so many poeple in the public eye. Like we have so many data compared to before. So we are just gettingmore insight in whatpeople in their 30s and 40s and even older (can) look like.
Exactly, I’ve had the same experience irl. My ex and I had almost the same age (he was just a few months older) and so many people thought I was dating someone at least 10 years older 😰 one guy even asked if he was my father it was ridiculous Whenever I meet new people I just wait for them or someone else to mention their age because it’s not always obvious, and some people with an important age gap could be considered the same age 🤔
Very true. I used to look older than my age when I was a teenager, because I was severely underweight and had a sunken face and I wore heavy makeup because I didn't know how to adapt it to my face. Now that I'm recovered from my ED, my baby face is back and I get asked for ID a lot more often than when I was 17.
I'm not exactly an anthropologist, but I've heard other ppl mention (and noticed myself) sort of "waves" in population: like there would be years with less babies born and they would grow up on a shorter side with baby face, then there would be years with more babies who grow up taller and mature faster appearance-wise of course it doesn't apply to everyone born in the same year and the link with birthrates may be just a coincidence, but I feel like it's there
I agree. I think both sides are cherry picking for the sake of being petty, tbh millennials more than gen z. I've seen millennials that look their age and some look older, and there's some that look their age but claim they still look 16. My graduating high school class looked younger on average than the past few classes, but i think we just look our age. Millennials are purposely choosing "older" gen z to prove that the entirety of gen z look old. While ignoring the millennials that have gotten Botox/filler or spent way too much time in tanning beds. There's definitely people in gen z such as influencers that have gotten a lot of work done or their makeup ages them, but they don't speak for the entire generation.
im not on the cusp (im born 2001), but my eldest siblings were all born in the 1980's. and they were around while i was being raised n showed me all the things they loved as kids. i have also felt like switzerland for the past few years when it comes to this topic.
I was born 2001 as well, but I’m an only child to Boomer/Gen X parents so I was raised on 70s/80s music and analog TV 😂 I don’t even know where I stand with this topic. Childhood wise, I definitely had a mishmash of a Zillennial upbringing. I just don’t even know where to be in this kind of conversation
This video talking about how dangerous it is to equate morality with appearance and there's a meme right underneath of Anne Hathaway at 17 and 41 with the caption "that's how you age when you're unproblematic" 💀

We are also ACTING much older now, as if we are in our 40s or 50s. We are already saying things like, “Back in my day, we played outside!” And, “Kids these days are too obsessed with their phones and will never know what it was like to play outside!”
this is literally a defining point of gen z lmao. we were the last generation to have an early childhood before smartphones and smart tvs and tablets and stuff, the last generation to have console games and to REALLY go outside to play, because we had to lmao
@@luckas221ajust say you sit at home every second of your free time. Unactive people claiming "kids dont go outside no more" will always shows your age. My neighborhood haven't had a quiet evening in years, not one. over 13 kids yelling like they're being ran over everyday, its gets so loud that its a point that when they head to the park and there is no more yelling the neighborhood community board began blowing up and doors slamming open. How about walking your blook for once, be a community person and not a loner who thinks free time is only home time before claiming something so dumb. There have always been lazy kids, inside kids and active kids. Who did you think made the first game consoles, someone who loved the beach, and playing tag.

@@zou1507Did you watch the video? The people using it were gen Z.
Even as a younger gen z (2007) I think the notion of "gen z doesn't even know how to rewind a vhs tape!" incredibly funny because if you didn't have rich parents who were buying you all the new tech you had older tech. I grew up reading magazines, watching VHS tapes, and I had my mom's old iPod instead of a phone. My elementary school was underfunded so our teachers would wheel out an old TV with tapes and put them in a VCR player. Like it's not a generational thing, it's a wealth thing.
this comment is so fucking true, honestly. i'm also a 2007 gen z kid and im obsessed with older technology and i've always found it easier to use because i was around it as a kid a lot.
Facts and same
Labeling generations is literally a way that corporations and government maintains devision amongst generations
The division will happen with or without naming generations. There is a quote: The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
Socrates was the person who said that. Feeling disconnected from both younger and older generations is basically a given. It happened long before corporations existed and will continue on as long as humans exist.
and we fall for it everytime!!! i'm trying to break that cycle currently bcs im tired about being bitter and hateful
Totally a Gen-Z insight!
Nah ... your age matters ... it matters a lot
It was originally sociologists and researchers (think medical and cultural studies) but you just know media and marketing corporations were bound to latch on to it
Those millennial women clapping back at gen z in song format was the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen, I had to skip that segment before I started taking damage. I don't have any beef with gen z as a millennial myself, they're getting the shaft same as us.
Right? I almost died of cringe and secondhand embarrassment.
I think they were theater kids? Or really into musicals and disney.
literally it felt like a knockoff Bo Burnham
I was genuinely wanting to throw hands 😭
I'm also a millennial and it made me feel as though my entire body was gonna invert itself from the force of the cringe
I'm a rather late millennial ('93) and I really don't get the negativity towards younger generations. And it's not just the 'gen z is looking older'-thing. From what I'm witnessing in my corporate job, there's also a lot of negativity and prejudices towards Gen Z. "they just want to chill", "they leave to early", "they're not working hard enough" etc. When in reality most of Gen Z just knows their own worth, prioritizes themselves over a job and just leaves, when they're not valued. And I think this is pretty badass and I have a lot of respect and admiration for my younger colleagues ❤
93 isn’t late
All generations always say the younger one don’t want to work. Even some philosophers of old published stuff where they said the exact same thing about their kids or grandkids.
It’s a tale as old as time.
What people don’t understand is that Gen z lives in a time where there is a workers shortage. In most developed nations more people Reiter then start working. So yes they demand more cause they can. We aren’t dumb we know that the job oftentimes needs us more then we would need it.
Back in the day it was the other way around everyone was replaceable cause there were always people in search of a job. That meant you had to go overboard with your work do unpaid overtime cause otherwise you would just get fired and replaced by a more „productive“ worker.
I grew up watched my parents over work themselves and realized that it’s not worth it. I will do exactly what I am paid for. And only during crisis will I deliberately do more.

I want to remove my eyeballs after seeing that sequence with people my age making cartoon faces and acting like morons. Cringe is cringe. Social media attracts all the sad Tinkerbells of the world that will do anything for attention, regardless of the price.
For real, I'm in my 40s, why would I care if teens and early 20s folks find my fashion sense or language cringeworthy. It would be weirder if they didn't tbh. Middle age comes to us all if we're lucky.
I think those were gen z kids making fun
As an older gen z, I fully thought those “millennial core” videos were meant to poke fun at the content a lot of GenZ grew up seeing. When most of the content creators we liked to watch were younger millennials.
Like I fully thought (and still do) that these were skits meant to perfectly emulate that specific strain of humor.
The internet always pushes the wildest examples to the forefront, the nature of how ppl consume

my dad set the tone on aging for me when i was young. He said “it’s ok if I look “old”. I want the world to know i’ve lived a long and happy life” and ever since I have such a positive outlook on aging
My mom had me convinced turning 30 was the end of the world. Like she hit 29 and said she was 29 every birthday after for the next 20 years. Then I hit 30 and didn’t feel old. I’ll be 38 this year and haven’t felt that horror of aging yet.
My dad would always say he was 29, to the point where I legitimately had absolutely no clue what his real age was. It's so weird to me why people are afraid of aging, like it happens to everyone, and it doesn't seem that bad tbh.
That’s actually awesome you don’t feel old!! My aunt always said “you’re only as old as you feel”…..but I turned 30 this past December and definitely noticed how much older I felt and looked lol.

It’s such an interesting take to say gen z is “aging like milk” when gen z is so broad and at such different life stages. There’s people who are 27 and people who are 14, yeah, many of us were forced to grow up quicker but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Plus the term itself is so stupid because milk doesn’t even necessarily age badly.
honestly, as a 23 y/o it gives me absolute whiplash to be technically in the same generation as my 13 y/o sister… our experience of the Internet and society is fundamentally different. generational distinctions are a bit arbitrary to begin with but i honestly think generational boundaries need to get shorter because of the rapidness of change. most people think of gen z as being in their tweens to mid teens… which is why i usually call myself a zillenial. gets the point across better.
Milk can age to cheese. Cheese is delicious.
Comparing people to milk is already weird, even before people use it to rate the aging of 14-27 year olds. You know. An age group known for maturing in appearance.

I read more advanced things and played T rated games as a kid (mostly because of older siblings--and BOY did the school hate my reading below or above my grade level), even attempted college maths at 10 (duh I didn't know what to do, but my older bro let me look at it and try is the point), and I'm a 21 year old with a pastel room full of plushies, blankets, and pillows, lol. Granted I have more adult books, own blades, crochet at ton for myself, and have more items that a kid prob shouldn't for safety, but I don't care about my room being "childish", because it's what makes me happy and is a safe space. I dress how I like because of comfort. I always dressed like "an old lady" according to kids at school. I was comfortable, who cares.
Hell, a few weeks ago I bought a made for 1+ and up plush shark because I love sharks and could shove my hand in it's mouth to store things. Fun is fun, and as long as you don't hurt yourself or others, it REALLY shouldn't matter.
Yeah, as a Gen Z I'm honestly mostly happy with my weathering. While it has worked to hurt me in the past being given adult responsibilities at a younger age, now that I'm grown I feel more equipped to take on the world and am glad that I have moved past so much at my age. Aging isn't the only thing that causes someone to be undesirable, and I hope the rest of the world is able to figure that out one day. Because calling someone ugly for it is one of those metrics that would really turn me off personally. Like being rude is not attractive, regardless of what your truth is.
Hello fellow Gen-X person.
I wonder if your experience matches mine: having been ignored by both boomers and millennials, we now get to sit on the sidelines and watch not one, but two inter-generational slap fights erupt during our lifetimes. (neither of which we have a part of!)

I found my first white hair a couple weeks back and celebrated by broadcasting it. As someone who still struggles with depression, the fact that ive lived long enough for a white hair to grow is amazing and should be celebrated. When I find my first wrinkle, I think Ill cry of happiness.
I think this is really beautiful and i wanna be like this when i get older ❤️
Yeahhh!!!!!!! WOOO!!!!!!
Fair. I have never been super super depressed bar after trauma, I mostly have anxiety. But for years I've have a few white hairs in my hair that is semi-multicoloured like my Mum's. I LOVE them, and I kind of hope to have all pure white hair by the time I am 30, since I have brown eyes and think that would be a REALLY cool combo. I also have super long hair, so I'd look like a snow elf, lol.
I've always told people I don’t care how old I get. Another year older is another year I've survived on the planet. Thank you for giving me the idea to show off the white hairs too
Yeah, that surely is no flex. Looking older should not be celebrated. And crying-for-joy over wrinkled skin, just sounds like you need help.
I’m an ooold dude. Trends *flew* by in the 70’s and 80’s. There were often multiple distinct trends at once. They’re trends. They’re fads. They aren’t traits. They were fun and disposable, and recyclable BTW
Edit: Oh sh!t was that woman trying to rap? Ugh
People don't realise how freeing it is to not care about being relevant, or trendy. I recently realised that for the first time in my life, groups of teenagers don't scare me anymore (even as a teen, groups of teens were so scary). Everyone needs to embrace the freedom of not giving a f*
I realized that too!!! I saw a group of younger teens on a train platform i was heading towards and i didn't feel the need to watch my every step and didn't feel all self conscious. So freeing to feel that!!
Ageing is such a privilege😭😭 the fact that so many kids are scared of it is so sad :((
yeah i agree the notion of being alive (aging) shouldn’t even be taboo, and the fact that aging just comes down to genetics and lifestyle. being alive is pretty cool and ppl should acknowledge that
How is it a privilege?
@@Demonetization_Symbol Because not everyone gets to grow up, kids die every single day. Getting to grow up is a privilege.
As a queer person, I think a lot about how being born in 96 puts me in about the second generation of Queer people to be born after the discovery of HIV and the AIDS epidemic. Every year I get older is a privilege that many of my forebears weren't afforded.
AGING IS NOT A PRIVILEGE! The old people (like 30+ year olds) told me to "never get old" and "its horrible." If its a choice between death and back pain. I know what I'm choosing when I'm 35.

I think a lot of people just dont know what Gen Z looks like outside of social media.
Fr😂
Right. Like I think a lot of people on people they see on the apps are content creators and influencers that that have access to fillers and I do think fillers do age people who are in their 20s. So they see that and are like omg what is going on. But like regular degular people who you are most likely not gonna run into on social media because algorithms look fine. Plus older people look “younger” because we aren’t smoking and drinking and we wear sunscreen, we don’t even spend that much time outdoors. All that plays a role in aging.
All this bickering over generations when we all should be eating the rich.
im either younger gen z or older gen alpha and OMG THE RAINBOW PARACHUTE THING IN ELEMENTARY i used to throw the dodgeballs on top of it and run under the parachute when i wasnt supossed to the teachers HATED ME
sorry ms roxanne
One of the things I’ve noticed that even if you’re born later and if you’re poor you’ll have a lot of the same experiences as older generations. At least tech wise. I was born in 2005 but grew up with a lot of old technology bc that’s what we could afford so I relate to older gen z and millennials more often.
This, I didn't get my hands on any tech that wasn't at least 5 years old due to poverty. I had a sega genesis as a kid, a game system older than I am. when the rest of the world was on blu-ray I was still stuck with VHS tapes. I feel like most content on tiktok is made by well off people which warps our perception and makes poorer people feel excluded. "Do you remember tamagochi?" No, I was too poor to afford one.
Definitely. My parents weren’t really poor BUT they were very frugal so we had a lot of older tech

as a thirty-something millennial it's SO embarrassing to have adult (midwest) theater kids represent you online. Of COURSE the cringiest weirdos get embarrassed by teenage opinions. They're the only adults who care about impressing teenagers.
I feel like millennials are secretly deeply insecure and are scared of being forgotten because nowadays everything's about Gen z and gen alpha
@@solus8685 I think a majority of people are deeply insecure, my love.
@@GodheadNee Condescension is one of the signs of insecurity, yeah
@@solus8685 ah yes, trying to be kind while pointing out that someone is a bit wrong or misguided is so cruel and unfair and comes from insecurity.
@solus8685 I think whether everything nowadays being about gen z and gen alpha highly depends on the circles you run in.
Most well-adjusted adults interact more with their peers rather than focus on what much younger people are interested in. Unless you're in marketing, I guess.
Your accent is so good I love ittttt
It's not surprising that gen alpha is obsessed with looking younger considering a lot of their parents generation is making fun of Gen Z 'ageing bad'
I don't know where this bs comes from, but Gen Z are amazing- the capitalism that encourages people to spend so much energy, money & time trying to stop natural processes that are necessary & fine is there to make people hate themselves. I don't want GenZ to hate themselves at all, especially not for natural processes that are a part of life. Also as an old millenial women, I am happy to look cheugy. My love of camo is reflective of my lifestyle as an old working women who works outside... stains & dirt blend in... it is completely reflective of me being old so if young people don't want to dress like me, fair enough... I only started wearing camo hard out in the last 5 years anyway, BECAUSE of my age.
I doubt they are aware of that. Most people don’t even know about this. Only the people who are online all the time
Whats actually going on is that we think of your 30s and 40s as looking like people in the late 20th century did but regardless of vaping both millennials and gen z are drinking and smoking way less than people did in the mid-late 20th century, and we’re using sunscreen so we’re all experiencing less premature aging
this. actually giving up tanning and committing to sunscreen and, tbh, not having to go through a biohazard event in formative years, really does a lot for the 'looks' of the human body.
The millennial guy was basically right about millennials being the new standard for aging. Since millennials look younger (compared to Gen X and up) Gen z would comparably look more similar to them, which makes them think Gen z looks older than their age. Maybe Gen z will just be the exact same and take decades to start showing signs of aging bc both generations took better care of themselves.
That's my interpretation anyways.
@@BeneathFullMoon my guess is most of us once we settle into our adult faces in our mid 20s will probably look basically the same until our mid 40s
@@TheQueerTailorI believe this is absolutely true. Pair that with the more retro in style fashion right now. That’s all it is. The face doesn’t really change much from around 25-40ish
Every single generation bitches about their children. Just look at the history of the phrase "nobody wants to work anymore". I've seen references going back to 1894, "it is becoming apparent that nobody wants to work in these hard times".
Gen z isn’t really aging bad. We’re just not kids anymore. Like most of gen z is in their early to mid 20s. Do they expect everyone to look like babies forever? I don’t get it
Yeah for some reason people still think all of Gen Z is in middle and elementary. Like the majority of us are voting age or are about to be lol
@@captainngoosetoo real
@@captainngoose it was the same with millennials. Some older people are still thinking of millennials as 18 year olds lol. I think some people learn the term refers to young people then don’t make the connection that those young people are still part of that generation as they age. It’s odd.
I think the point that Chris guy was making was just that Millennials have aged better than earlier generations and a lot of people have speculated that it's because we missed out on things like secure careers and buying a house. I am sure you look fine for your age. I think it's true that people don't realize how old gen Z is. Also everyone on every side of the argument is cherry picking.
Tbh even if they were right, why would it be so bad? If you look at the amount of stress gen z has been put on with all the information, knowing the world is going to die, the contamination, altered food and seeds, a pandemic and more, you could expect Gen z looking so tired, like i'm old Gen z but the generation of my brother has had panic attacks and mental health issues since they were like 10 and my first panic attack was at 15, this included a lot of my classmates too who started to have mental health issues around the same age. We need to cut Gen z some slack
i have never in my life heard the word "cheugy" until now
Same. "cheugy" is the weirdest thing I've heard ever
funnily enough, i only heard of the word earlier while watching tro's video on james corden and see it pop up here right afterwards was a mindfuck for me 😭😭
Me neither. Before hearing the definition, I thought that it was a Korean word
Same, and im chronically online granted not on TikTok
Tbh, after 9/11 the media REALLY changed. It felt like it really kickstarted the 24/7 scare media. I was maybe 10 when this happened, but the thought of growing up with that then transitioning to social media which can be just as bad with scare media and unrealistic beauty standards… sounds roughy ):
2003 baby here, my parents wouldn't let me get the teen magazines so I would just read them in the magazine aisle at K-Mart.
2005 baby, my parents would get me any magazine that would include MCR or fob when I was a kid and I wish I could go back to those days, I miss good teen magazines
I’m an elder millennial. I think people my age who care about any of this are the people who have always cared way too much about how people perceive them.
I’m over here trying not to be perceived at all most the time. I don’t tie my identity to things that are fleeting, like trends and age. These people are so annoying, and I think, deeply sad. The 35+skinscare subreddit is full of millennials (& gen x) so insecure about aging, they’re trying not to smile anymore.
The way millennials are GLEEFUL about gen z going through difficult shit is gross. Grow up
I agree, this is basically categorizing people based on what month they were born, basically astrology. I was born in 93 and honestly I'm not surprised to see some millennials going this toxic route but I have high hopes and expectations of Gen Z, after all they are the generation who stood up to the Israeli genocide and put the pro Palestinian position on the map, they are also a generation who is taking empathy and kindness very seriously and are realizing that science and technology don't mean anything if they are not used for humancentric and are used for the interest of people instead of for profit. And btw, at the risk of oversimplifying this looking old issue, some Gen Z people do look older and it's due to how they dress, but it's not bad, it's whatever, do your thing, and as older siblings, a lot of us look at you guys (Gen Z) as a hopeful promise for our world and we will be there to help get rid of the "If I suffered through it, then everybody should suffer through it" mentality.
Yep, older millennial here too and I'm just trying to raise my kids to not need years of therapy. I don't notice or care about trends, or what people think of how I part my hair / what jeans I wear.
Most of us just don't have the time or energy to care. 😂
I think these are the millennials that weren’t cool in high school and were either bullied or felt the immense pressures of being the first gen to have social media and instead of growing after it and maybe going to therapy they’re reveling in gen z… what? Going through traumatic shit on a global scale during our formative years?? Being told it’s our responsibility to fix the dying planet we inherited and that all of that responsibility was forced unto us?? It’s also not a bad thing to look older… and many people don’t know what 20 looks like. I’m 21 and I’ve been told I look ~25 when no I look the age I am because I am that age and so does everyone else my age and whatever age they are.
THATS A BIG WORD FOR ELMO
also as a gen z myself, we're literaly teenagers or yougn adults, which means that we work, we go to school plus all of that stress and sleep diprivation, No wonder we have eye bags, and then this dude who has money and rest is like "yall look old" we don't, we look poor. Which you find ugly for some reason, but being poor does affect our looks ty we know that
Seriously. Like most of it is that we look tired when... Yeah. The world is crazy, we were the first to be raised with unfettered access to the internet as we know it and most of us had to grow up pretty fast because of it. Like explaining to my older friends that it was normal to mess with online pedos when I was 11 and saw a man beheaded before middle school and they wonder why we're all stressed and depressed, especially now that we have the added stressors of adult life, the pandemic etc??
Exactly, only millenials with a lot of money don't look tired, the rest of us, poor millenials et gen z, we look tired and older we actually are because of lack of sleep, stress ect
Right like even though I have like 6 years to go I'm still stressing abt how im gonna make it, like if ill even be able to thrive like I'm stressing abt the money the work and I'm trying my hardest to be good in school to learn about stuff now so that'd be atleast one thing that would kinda come easy when I'm older😭😭
I’m 26 years old with 3 kids. I wouldn’t even consider me a young adult. I’m just an adult. Like I was in school with millennials. It’s so stupid.
millennials and gen z really aren’t so different, but internet content enforces divides more than encourages togetherness. don’t know why we NEED to be divided as generations…
27:44 thats a big word for elmo took me OUT dude 😂😂😂😂
As a Spaniard I find that this discourse only applies to the USA (that I know of). I've only seen this Millennial vs Gen z "war" on the US side of the internet.
The only thing I've heard of is the skinny jeans thing, but it's like a 'out of style thing', not an us vs them thing.
As a Brazilian I feel the same lol feels like something that only exists in the north american bubble
In Finland I see “older” Gen Z people (women in their twenties) still wearing skinny jeans, so the whole thing feels silly
As another Spaniard that spends the majority of the time on the English side of the internet, x2, minus the jeans part, i also never heard about that
Yep. I’m a Swede and I only see it discussed by Americans. But I also think they’ve been wayyy more bombarded with messaging about how bad not being young is, and that only young ppl matter etc. so they struggle
As a (Puerto Rican) American, it has to be just an online discourse with people who are too online. What's weird is that depending on the generation, your style is either cringe or cool
the reason men weren't part of the cheugy trend is simply because we never looked good in the first place. yes a champion hoodie, biker jeans, and checkered slip on vans are the male cheugy fit, yes men still wear that fit daily, yes that's kind of my point. you can't cringe at your old fits, if your new fits are either the same, or just as cringy.
This is the same reason why men are rarely the subjects of "who wore it best" exercises and other fashion related discourse. Especially for red carpet events, picking apart which guys look good in a tux can become very personal and petty much more quickly than with the distraction of the different shapes and styles women wear. Men's fashion changes so much slower than women's and repeats more often.
"that's a big word for Elmo" had me dead ☠️
Cheugy was actually barely used by Zoomers, even in 2021. Millenials just found out about it, started trying to figure if they were "cheugy," which made Gen Z immediately stop using it because they saw it being used by millenials. Then a bunch of millenials kept convincing each other that Gen Z did use it and the only reason they didn't know is because they were "cheugy."
Got this from an EtymologyNerd short
I have never once heard a millenial use the word cheugy. I heard one or two Zoomers use the word cheugy, but nowhere near enough to think Zoomers were shooting it off regularly. I don't think millenials killing it off is right, either. I think a few people used it, and it was a very distinct word that stuck in people's heads, so we thought about it a lot, but it was never really a big thing that was thrown around in any meaningful way. Hell, the examples of people using the term in this video, all of those people sound like they're trying their best to use an unfamiliar foreign word they _just_ learned. Cheugy is the "they're eating tide pods" of slang; that wasn't really a thing.
@@YourWaywardDestiny i have no evidence for this, but my personal theory is that it went the way this commenter described, but instead of millennials ruining it, it was corporations and news outlets trying to “keep up with the times”

Turns out I am ok actually
I always feel so awkward talking about my fear of growing older, because I’m not afraid of aging in the general “wrinkles, smile lines, oh no do I look thirty” way. I have a baby face that won’t go away, I want to actually look my age. But I have a severe fear of actually growing older, particularly because I’m about two months and a year younger than my bio mom was when she passed, and that scares me. And 20 sounds like the first adult age to me (which is what I’m turning soon) and I’m just now applying for college, I don’t work, and because of various factors, I feel stunted. When my mom was my age, she was in college, about to have a kid (albeit unplanned), working part time, and I sit in my room drawing all day and stress crying when I think too hard about what career the degree I’m hoping to get will even help me get. The world is so hostile and scary, and I feel so unprepared to ever fully enter it.
It's okay. I was 22 when I finally moved out from my parent's home and went to college. I'm now 27, living with my mother-in-law and unemployed bc my education field is overflooded. You have plenty of time and aren't too late.

This! I’m not scared of getting older because I don’t want wrinkles or stretch marks, I’m scared of all the unknowns and decisions I don’t feel equipped to make and how do I know I’m choosing the right path and someday everyone I love will grow old too and move away and (morbidly) all of us will die and that’s a hard thought to deal with!
i'm in a very similar boat. about to be 20, feeling like my mom had more experience when she was my age, drawing alone in my room and stressing over where i'm going to find my career in the world. there is wayyy too much pressure to have things figured out, even by some peoples' standards to have kids by the time you're 30. i can't offer wisdom or advice because my experience is essentially similar. but always keep in mind that for every older persons accomplishment, it's increasingly harder as time goes on to accomplish the same with how it's statistically more and more difficult to get jobs, buy a house, or have kids, all usually due to economics, and all of which is out of our control. we can both figure it out, your own pace is the perfect one for you 🫂

But that's just my game theory. I love my post 9/11 gen z siblings ❤

Chris’s video actually did make me stop and think. When I first saw the other girl’s video I didn’t think much of it. I knew it was hurtful but I also thought Chris’s response was worse. But his apology actually made me think about how hurtful that could be. He’s right; you really can’t understand until you experience it. As a sixteen year old, if I was told I was going through a midlife crisis for whatever reason I wouldn’t care. But im also not at that age yet. I’m not having a midlife crisis. So I couldn’t understand how that affected Chris until he explained it
I'm a young millennial and this whole thing seems ridiculous to me- like, why would I care that gen z thinks I'm not cool?
I was the weird art kid, my own generation didn't think I was cool 😂
Idk man, I've never understood trends and stuff. I've always just done my own thing and hung out with people who respected that- it's left me a pretty happy person, all things considered.
Im gen Z and my current generation didn’t think I’m cool too
Based
This right here. I was out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist of my own generation, so literally nothing has changed for me. I have plenty of Gen Z friends, because shockingly, people tend to bond over shared interests and chemistry and don't give a rat's ass about what half of which decade you were born in real life.
I don't think any of both generations are aging differently, we are just focusing on very specific cases, I've seen millenials who look their age, others look younger and some others older, the same with gen z, social media has just made us believe that aging is bad and looks ugly which is sad
Very true and I also think we just have a lot of cases. Like for the first time we have so many poeple in the public eye. Like we have so many data compared to before. So we are just gettingmore insight in whatpeople in their 30s and 40s and even older (can) look like.
Exactly, I’ve had the same experience irl. My ex and I had almost the same age (he was just a few months older) and so many people thought I was dating someone at least 10 years older 😰 one guy even asked if he was my father it was ridiculous
Whenever I meet new people I just wait for them or someone else to mention their age because it’s not always obvious, and some people with an important age gap could be considered the same age 🤔
Very true. I used to look older than my age when I was a teenager, because I was severely underweight and had a sunken face and I wore heavy makeup because I didn't know how to adapt it to my face. Now that I'm recovered from my ED, my baby face is back and I get asked for ID a lot more often than when I was 17.
I'm not exactly an anthropologist, but I've heard other ppl mention (and noticed myself) sort of "waves" in population: like there would be years with less babies born and they would grow up on a shorter side with baby face, then there would be years with more babies who grow up taller and mature faster appearance-wise
of course it doesn't apply to everyone born in the same year and the link with birthrates may be just a coincidence, but I feel like it's there
I agree. I think both sides are cherry picking for the sake of being petty, tbh millennials more than gen z. I've seen millennials that look their age and some look older, and there's some that look their age but claim they still look 16. My graduating high school class looked younger on average than the past few classes, but i think we just look our age. Millennials are purposely choosing "older" gen z to prove that the entirety of gen z look old. While ignoring the millennials that have gotten Botox/filler or spent way too much time in tanning beds. There's definitely people in gen z such as influencers that have gotten a lot of work done or their makeup ages them, but they don't speak for the entire generation.
I’m so glad I’m not on that side of TT. I’m on cucumber salad TT and “oh yes, oh yes” from Chicago edits 😂

i have also felt like switzerland for the past few years when it comes to this topic.
Same. As i poor kid in the 2000s, my childhood was basically a 90s childhood.
Same here. 2000s kid, but I'm from Latin America, trends didn't come here that fast.
I was born 2001 as well, but I’m an only child to Boomer/Gen X parents so I was raised on 70s/80s music and analog TV 😂 I don’t even know where I stand with this topic. Childhood wise, I definitely had a mishmash of a Zillennial upbringing. I just don’t even know where to be in this kind of conversation

This video talking about how dangerous it is to equate morality with appearance and there's a meme right underneath of Anne Hathaway at 17 and 41 with the caption "that's how you age when you're unproblematic" 💀
she hit that coffee hard
Gen X here. Getting old is a privilege that many people don't get to experience. Enjoy every stage of your life!

Also the musical battle is killing me
The truth is that everyone is cringe. Literally no matter what generation or year youre born in you will always be a part of something cringy. People just gotta learn to live their lives without worrying about someone might say about it on tiktok. We're all weirdos 🤷♂️
