Don't worry bruh, they invented that something it's FAR more important to us both Gen X and Gen Z's. So they're cool If they call us "OK Zoomer", it's fine by us, we don't take those very seriously. I mean, really do you really take those very seriously?
@@drinkthywater Millenials started just about all that. I think Gen Z might actually have the guts and the energy to finish what we started, though. Millenials have the attitudes, but we never quite had the carry through we're starting to see from Gen Z coming up.
Colin Miller I was born in 2004 and Fortnite should die in fire. My classmates, most of whom were born in 2005, agree. It's really 2007 and later that likes Fortnite.
Well your statement works dor all the loud and obnoxious ones.. but statistics don't just look at the weird new emo kids that listen to billie eilish all day..
Agreed, inherent optimism bias and terror management theory might be going out of fashion. Ideologies like antinatalism based on consent might be another thing that makes them more realistic/pessimistic according to survey results on subreddit.
I was born in 1992 and I feel like I fall right in the middle. My childhood was without much technology, we played outdoors with our neighborhood friends, but my adulthood is consumed with it.
We're so addicted to smartphones. Every time I walk out the door, you see a bunch of humanoid kids, teenagers and 20-something year olds staring down at their phones instead of looking where they're going. I am also like this sometimes, as a 22 year old. We ARE total humanoids!
When I went to Mexico, man it was a different vibe. Hardly any phones and all conversations were eye to eye. I think it's because US is full of different cultures, races, religions and opinions that it's hard to get along with anyone so the best thing is to look at your phone lol.
OK so millennials grew up watching internet rise gen z grew up watching internet being filled up with content *gen alpha is growing up watching Internet fall*
If the internet falls, that will be the greatest day of my life. I missed the days when i never had to depend on the internet for anything, whether it was for knowledge or to gain entertainment. Today, i am stuck listening to idiocraps writing stuff they think they know but is false
When the older generations are blaming us for not fixing up the problems, but they are the ones who caused it in the first place, letting us pick up all the broken pieces.
@@mysticalpetrova9234 yeah with her starbucks coffee in one hand and phone playing tiktok videos in other while telling her friends how different she is compared to "normal" girls
Gen Z is the most optimistic generation! Gen Z having higher rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety. Both because of genetics and the overall state of the world: *Are we a joke to you?*
Generation Z is the last generation that will be alive, technically. There’s a very low chance of Generation Alpha surviving since G-A is the newest generation.
Joel Somich | Why did I say “technically”? I said it because basically, it is possible that generation z can still survive. Not necessarily, but there’s hope
i hate it when adults talk about gen z like we grew up completely surrounded by technology and we're some kind of different species... like bruh i had a flip phone edit: i get it this comment was dumb lol but it’s been 2 years why are people still replying
very true, however you can look at statistics and can say that members of a generation (age + exposure to specific cultural zeitgeists) on AVERAGE are more likely to fit into certain categories
I'm a Millennial and I'm blown away by how cool and confident so much of Gen Z is. When I was 15 I could barely put an outfit together and my self-esteem was in the dumpster. They are also a lot more socially aware at a younger age surely due to the internet. I think Millennials shouldn't fall into the cycle of the older generation hating the next. We can learn a lot from them and I think despite some of them doing stupid things like the Tidepods they have a good head on their shoulders.
Davis O'Brien I don’t think the original commenter meant it that way. It’s definitely the type of memes teens in the Gen Z category find funny nowadays(ironic tik toks, deep fried memes, offensive memes etc.).
I'm a millennial working in a high school full of gen z and this is... not 100% accurate. The biggest difference between millennials and gen z is that gen z grew up around technology and social media a heck of a lot more than millennials. Other than that, the current gen z in high school isn't much different from millennial teens back in the day- some are optimistic, some are angsty, some are driven, some aren't. Don't know why everyone is getting so butthurt over this video 🤷🏻♀️ define yourself and don't let bs labels like this define you.
Attention span? Dude I got the attention span of a McChicken. And “multi tasking” is just me forgetting what I was doing and moving on to the next thing.
*I am just SICK of Biden's Surrender of Afghanistan to the TaLiban!!!!!* *I Must just STOP Watching NEWS!!! As of Joe Biden's InFamy Day, JuLy 2, 2021* *I wiLL just VOTE Every RePubLiCan on Every BaLLot for Rest of My Life!!!* *I Know that Joe Biden Lovers are DeMons & Sod O Mites & JeHoVah GOD, Hates YOU!!!*
I know, right? These differences just highlight the changes that occur as you get older. Now I recognize that there are people of Gen Z who are adults with jobs. They are punching the clock and earning a living. But even the oldest of Gen Z aren't even 30 yet.
I also think half of the stuff is BS as it is - they can multitask - watching tv and chatting lol :D dude in the 50s people watch tv and did the dishes whats so brave about it. Or remember back in 2005 when people would go together to the shopping mall to buy stuff while sharing opinions - it the goddamn same thing - just the medium is changed due to the internet. Also, if you are 15-20 and you are pessimistic - tough life mate.
And in time everything this video attributes to Millennials will be true about Gen Z, and everything they're saying about Gen Z will be true about the next generation. This video acts like these qualities are exclusive to the generation they're talking about, but it's not. Gen Z is good at multi-tasking because they're in their early twenties, not because there is something special about their generation.
I just watched your video about why Gen Z is getting fired and I think an update to this video could be enlightening because some of the claims here are contradicted by your "Why are they getting fired?" video.
that's because some people (especially those born in the 90s) aren't sure if they belong in the group or not. I've searched countless sources online and people kept swinging the cut-off year to be considered a millennial is it until the 1990s or until the 2000s.
As a millennial, this is how I see the differences between us and Gen Z. Millennials are the disillusioned and fatalist generation. We were raised in a time of hope and given instructions how to reach that dream, then when we did the things, everything collapsed. We were called entitled and should be grateful to have any job, so we did. We took on 2-3 jobs just to scrap by. We banded together, shared what we had, and accepted that everything was fleeting, so try to find small joys in the moment. Which is why we're apparently killing every market out there. We're patient and understanding, because we look at the person across from us and see ourselves-- sure that the waiter, the cashier, the uber driver, etc aren't where they expected to be either. Gen Z, however, was born in this shit storm, so I see them as the realist generation. They look at how things are and know if they don't do anything, the shit storm is only going to get worse. They're more tolerant of what makes everyone different, supportive of new ideas no mater where they come from, and give a big "fuck you" to anyone that tells them they're too young to do/know anything about the real world. They look at the raging debt millennials run around with, see how well the "normal" route worked for us, so look at a new path for solutions. They're accused of the instant gratification generation, but really, they're the "why wait?" generation. If you have a good idea, an amazing opportunity, a chance to make change, then do it! Whereas millenials see failure as affirmation that everything is horrible and nothing will ever change, I see Gen Z pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and go, "Well, that didn't work. Let's try something else." What this video described as impatience among the Gen Z when something doesn't work, I see as a generation that doesn't accept that it's just the way things are. If it's broken, then fucking fix it! Bottom line, both our generations get shit on and told we're the problem. That we're entitled and selfish, but we're neither. We're just a bunch of people trying to figure out how to survive in this world that was created for us.
It is easy to be optimistic in a bad environment when you're still a child or very young adult. Life is ahead you. You have plenty of time to screw up, start back over and figure things out until you get it right. There is no time constraint and eventually things get better. When you're older, you don't have these privileges and tend to get caught up in the present.
heather wills amen! Its like millenials are the bridge between a world baby boomers knew and the future that gen z accurately sees. We were literally raised with expired principles for success yet curiously perceived as failures meanwhile gen z is looking at our struggles and going 'fuck that dated advice, im going with what works'
YESSSSSSSSSSSS Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know much about Gen Z, but the millenial part at least is soooooooooo true. And I hope you're right about Gen Z. We need someone to actually get shit done, and stop listening to the advice to wait and do as you're told. We were way too trusting and obedient, and we got screwed big time. I want to see a generation of rebels who can tell when someone's trying to defraud them and won't stand for it. We're in a shoddy position to make change; struggling under our debts to get by. I hope Gen Z can do better, for everyone's benefit, because they still have the time and resources to try to! I just hope they don't end up being rude to us like all the other generations if they do find success. It sucks being told you're the problem and you're entitled when all you want to do is be able to pay your rent and eat without going further into debt. I'd... also like a house and comfortable middle class, debt-free life someday soon, but I suppose that would make me selfish. But really, what are those other generations mad at us for? For being poor right now? Or for daring to still have hope for our lives despite our terrible start? I'm not sure how we can survive without the idea that we might really get what we were promised some day. I think all any of us want is to lie down one day in a comfortable home, calm in the knowledge that we will be able to pay all our bills and no longer have debts looming over our heads.
I like how nobody can describe what a millennial is correctly. It's almost like the concept doesn't exist and media and corporations just use it as a way to market products.
Generations are very vague. There is no clear line. Honestly I was born in 1999 and I have some traits of a millenial, some of Z. You can pretty much decide for yourself what generation you feel part of if you are kind of in the middle like me, of course I can claim I am a baby boomer but that's ridiculous. But in the end, why does it even matter what generation you are in? Do people really need something else relatable to feel satisfied in life?
Baby boomers: Baby making machines Gen X: trail of ex’s tears. Gen Y: WHY were we born? Gen Z: The last generation to be born because they’re doomed with the apocalypse.
I was born in 2000. I had four siblings before me that are millennials and I grew up with them like they were the same generation as me. I still remember my Dreamcast and GameCube! I grew up with Facebook as well. I don’t really feel like early Gen Z has much in common with late Gen Z.
Lol as an 2000 born early gen z, I can confirm, I feel grounded around my 1998-2000 born friends but whenever I talked to my 5 years younger sibling, I have to work hard to navigate the conversation to not be called a boomer. Lol I also have to talk to her for the sake keeping up with current affair to not have to suffer hours of scrolling cringe Tiktok videos
I am 100% millennial because my sisters are elder millennials and I’m the only 90s kid, so growing up, I do go through what xenials go through but because of the generational gap, I get excluded from all the grown up genx things and I end up growing up with all the millennial things alone (ie reality tv, matrix, y2k, early consoles, blackberries, celebs crash and burn, etc. oh and also all the good Pixar dreamworks wars). It can be very isolating in this situation even if you have siblings and you have things that only you understand.
Cause Baby boomer the last intellegent generation(hey...who's know?maybe in the future there's no Utopia but yeah you know....kind like 'idiocracy' movie,human become more stupid and stupid because technology become super easy until the next generation to lazy to think rather than watch porn movie or another entertainment) -sorry for my bad English
christ, the last intelligent gen he says.. your intellect isn't exactly being challenged when you live in the economically unrealistic and unsustainable era of post-ww2 western society. where everybody was living on easy street for a third of their annual income as just a local salesman or factory worker even. loose statistic, but true and relatively accurate. if anything, the baby boomer generation was the lazy one, with their heads up their privileged as
because here in America paying public schools to advertise us millenials growing up POUNDED IN OUR BRAINS Yelling at us that we need to go to college for REAL EDUCATION! even though u dont. and that the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND BUSH Act was a GREAT THING in this country...bunch of crock of shit! im glad i graduated High School and stayed Dedt free!
One thing to keep in mind when comparing generations is that you have to compare them at the same ages, otherwise it's kind of an apples to oranges thing.
Gen z dad jokes: hey son, what's kid amogus backwards? Son: Sugoma dik Dad: Son, what is Squidward backwards? Son: that's easy! It's "drawdics" Son again: 😐😠😡🤬🤬🤬😡😡🤬😡😠🤬😡😠🤬😡😡😡😡😡 Son: Hey dad! Dad: yeah? Son: Spell Sus backwards. Dad: Sus backwards is sus 😵 Sorry for the extreme cringe
hey, an unpopular idea: perhaps ee shouldn't judge an entire generation of people before they, yknow, GROW UP? most of gen Z are teens still, of course they don't have the same experience and mindset as other people
My younger sister is GenZ... and I've seen her friends and they're capable of multi-tasking like crazy, but they get little to nothing done. If it is done, it's usually done very poorly. The human brain isn't really primed for "true multitasking" IE "parallel tasks", it's just alternating. Course, this isn't true for every GenZ as they could be raised more in the style of a different generation. All depends on the parents lol
rueben cristobal the majority of gen z's are still teenagers. I don't think you should expect a teenager to find a cure to cancer or negotiate a trade war deal with China
Actually in India, Millenials live Gen X lifestyle, GenZs live both Millenial & a little GenZ lifestyle and Gen Alpha live both GenZ & gen alpha(50-50) lifestyle. I'm a 1998 born GenZ but 95% of those who are my age didn't had access to computers and internet during schooling(child to teens, those techs are probably unaffordable) & only during 16 to 19 age we got access to slow 2G/3G limited data internet, laptop PC & smartphone. Clearly, there's slow rate of adoption when compared to foreign(western) countries but the adoption rate has increased a lot recently and it'd eventually catch up with those western countries.
shout out to everyone from the late 90s - early 00s that are in the weird in between stage. can't fully relate to the millennials and really can't relate to gen z
king Gummybear (gen z here). Deep dark souls reference. That game kicks ass Anyway a reason that many of us are depressed/saddened is because we know how fucked countries are with pc culture and worried about our future jobs being automatised by machines
We're not. Society has just become more open to the discussion of depression. Also, Being a teenager contributes to this. Every teen goes through that phase.
Mechanical Ninjineer me too pretty much we grew up right in the transition of all the newer technology and media. I still remember aol, MySpace, floppy disks, mp3 players, CD players and all other types off stuff.(also I grew up poor)
Millennials, like all other generations, are not scientific/historical categories. Just popularized buzz words. This video is completely based on subjectivity.
Yes but those terms exist because we wanted some way to discuss the way different age groups in a society grow up in different environments and as a result have certain attitudes or lifestyles that set them apart from the other age groups. Just because they can't be nailed down scientifically doesn't mean they aren't real or don't have meaning. "All words are made up" -- Pirate Angel
Yeah I agree, they are comparing people that are in different age groups like they are "equals" in terms of that they both have had enough time out in the world.
Born in 2003 here. I remember flip phones and blackberries. My mom had a flip-phone when I was younger ( iPhones we're out at the time tho), but now has a more up-to-date phone since she can drive now and has more uses for it. And I remember my dad had a blackberry phone when I was around 8/9.
mimimomomama mi nah bro not true I’m gen Z currently 19 yo and in 2012 I was 12/13 lol people that age definitely did not impose those stupid safe space PC ideologies. And before you say it yes I do understand that gen z starts at about 1995 and people born in that year during 2012 were 19 but I disregard them as many of their peers and fellow college goers that were older were millennials with those ideas in which part indoctrinated the gen z coming up in those universities and tumblr pages. Somewhere along the way the younger side of the gen z age groups have seen the outcome of this and realized (for the most part as there are always outliers) how ridiculous and damaging to society that way of thinking/living is. The majority of people I grew up with and the ages younger than me seem to be on the same page when it comes to ridiculing those retarded ideologies. So yes gen z technically was a part of the beginning of the safe space culture to an extent but the millennials were the true orchestraters so in my opinion those gen z PC followers are lumped in with the millennials when it comes to ideology. I am hopeful for the future as a lot of people my age and younger that I know and observe online are nowhere near as sensitive as the group previously stated and yes I realize that is anecdotal but it’s the only information I have without actually surveying the populous lol
I hate adults who say the internet is bad. They do realize like 30% of what we learn or even more is all because of the internet. I learn all about diseases, history, and world problems on the internet in 30 minutes verses 8 hours at school. Im an above average person when it comes to school and I thank it all to the internet. It's how I learn and have fun at the same time.
Books were bad, radio was bad, tv was bad, now the internet is bad everytime something new shows up and its misunderstood its bad. All of these things are neutral it is all up to the individual to know what to do with them.
I think people born in the early '90s (now in late 20s) are kinda the buffer zone between Millennials and Gen Z. Most of the social media and tech that define modern life became popular when we were in high school and college (as opposed to full childhood for Gen Z and full adulthood for Millennials), so we spent our childhoods without smartphones and social media, but none of our adulthoods.
Yeah I think we were the last group of kids to watch Saturday morning cartoons, and as time went by we became teens when social media was starting to boom.
I think the best distinction is if were financially established before the 2008 recession vs after. A lot of the tropes about younger people- being called "lazy" or "entitled" while working multiple jobs and living in an apartment, trying to be entrepreneurial or making money online, etc. comes down to that
I was born in 1998 and I fall into a hard category for most people to define. As I grew up with technology and was also one of the last kinds of people to go outside and hang with friends. So, I've read that some studies say that my birth year is Gen Z while others are Gen Y. So which is it as I don't fall into Gen Y but also not into Gen Z
The problem with defining "generations" is that it opens the gate to stereotyping. These stereotypes don't always mirror the truth. For instance my dad, which is from 2 generations back, has the same "if set brand fails me then I will move on" mentality. While a classmate of mine, who was born in 2000, shows brand loyalty to Apple. Both my parents are tech savvy dispite being born before 1980 and I've known people, who are technically millennials/gen Z, be completely tech illiterate. It depends how you're raised and what your interests are, not the loosely defined year range in which you were born.
Hanro50 I know right... it's just a classification to group people together and nothing more. It doesnt make someone more tech savvy or more spoiled than another generation. People seem to be too wrapped up in the stereotypes and hating on other generations. Or saying things such as "I have depression cuz if the baby boomers and gen X!"
If you think about stereotypes as being essentially obsolete and noxious, that is. But it seems, as almost everybody, you use stereotypes to judge individuals, while it is a group statistic. Making you wrong by default. But hey, don't mind, it isn't like it was important.
I was born in 1990. Growing up, most of the people I spent time with were from the Silent Generation and those of the Greatest Generation. As a result, I often relate to people much older than myself.
@@MM-st6vu yeah that's insane, must have great longevity in your genes, not everyone has that. I met my great grandfather in 2006, he was 95 years old He was apart of the greatest generation The oldest born person I met was in her late 90s in 2004 Haven't met someone born in the 1800s I don't know about, but I have met people born in the 1900 decade FYI born early 2001
A couple things; I think gen z is too young to be making generalizations on their outlook on life and what they find important. Not even 5 years ago, almost all these same "Gen Z" traits were being attributed to millenials, so I think most of this can be chalked up to age and maturity level more than what generation someone is born in. Second, when you look at the science, multitasking is literally impossible. The brain doesn't have the capability to focus on 2 things at once, you're just switching focus back and forth between the two things which often equates to lower comprehension of topics, reduced quality of work, and reduced productivity.
samb614ify Yes and no... switch tasking is a legitimate productivity hack and one proven to be far more effective than literally trying (in vain) to multitask or to focus on one thing too long. The trick is to maximize the time you use to focus to your ultradian rhythms with flexibility for maintaining your Flow state if you ever get there... But yeah... generations is a loose, if not false, concept that is more about shared experiences then when you were born
I don't even think the whole multitasking thing in the video is that true - citation is needed on what was said. Also I completely agree that comparing generations either side of some formative years isn't a fair or accurate comparison. Finally, as a gen z teen I reckon that what was mistook for optimism was more a sense that thus far we haven't been able to control that future, but the prospect of being able to control it gives us optimism
Weird thing is, people born around 2000-2003 are their own breed. Young around the time when tech wasn’t as good but growing up whilst tech is good so we still had a similar childhood to millennials but not weird enough to be identified with Jake Paul and that kind of human cancer cell
Slav3_Edge all jake paul gans seem to be people wgo are likr 13-16 so pretty close to being born around 2000-2003. At the end of the day you can fit into a group but it's just that, a group. Everyone is a little different and this is just the average of each generation being represented.
Kennedy Blaq right seemed like Gen Z has just graduated high school/college and just hasn’t realized the world isn’t sunshine and rainbows either. It appears as if we aren’t really pessimistic or optimistic but kinda in the middle right where reality is.
John Short I actually think it's the opposite. Generation Z is more pessimistic than the previous generation since they don't remember a time before 911
Alba Lopez I think we're more optimistic because we were more desensitized at a younger age and are aware of how bad shit can be. Due to that we have an appreciation for how good we've got it, relatively speaking.
Hey buddy, Millenials wont let you guys have technology until you can see what you missed out on and enjoy it. Nature. I wish you guys could have seen the world when kids didnt have to fear going to the park, playing outside until dark with friends. Please understand how we care and I will tell you why we care. Sometimes abuse causes abuse and we are trying to break the cycle.
I was born in 1999. But I was raised as a Millennial. We didn't have internet or cellphones, and still had a fat tv until 2015. My school I went to was all pencils and paper. Didn't even get a cellphone until I was 18.
Mechanical Ninjineer I kinda see why. Generation alpha will be the most technologically advanced they will grow up with robots and probably be fluent in writing code. More schools are replacing books with tablets and making everything more technology based.
Barry Allen That's bullshit. People have been saying that every generation since humans have been writing, but by pretty much every metric, we have ALWAYS improved upon our parent generation. Millennials are still young, but tend to be more morally concious than Generation X. Generation Z are more efficient workers than Millennials. Generation X are less spoiled than Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers were more intelligent than the Silent Generation. Etc... Etc...
A. G. True. Also, us as people, we make these “stereotypes” true, when we ACTUALLY do what older folks say, “these kids...” or, “these hot-tailed girls these days...” etc. sorry if that didn’t make sense. I addressed it the best I could.
@@illuminaticake4528 FALSLEY. Stereotypes are often untrue + there's lots of cross over in experiences. Maybe don't frame a conversation before you start it then you 1. will actually listen to the person you're talking to & 2. won't reframe the conversation to fit the preconceptions you came in with.
As an elder millennial myself, born in (1986) my peers and I consider our self-more of a (Xennial, 1978 to 1983 and some say to 1985) We have nothing in common with younger millennials, but we are more in common with people being born in the early 1980s, which includes (while growing up) common interest in TV shows, music, movies, culture, fashion, politics and so on. If you are a older millennial, born around the early to mid 1980s, look up the generation (Xennial)
笑みE M M I E mate, think about it. Also born 2000, England here. Don't need to talked down to by someone of the same age. I do have some basic understanding of what goes on and stuff. I was just being sarcastic.
Honestly as a Gen Z I find that other Gen Z’s are a lot more optimistic about things. Really the generation/s before Millennials f*cked the world up, and it’s our job to fix is. That’s what my other Gen Z mates believe at least.
I never really understood people who hate other people just because they were born on a different year as them. Regardless of your current age, please grow up.
Peteto Chibs Bro it was a joke I was just kidding but there is truth into it that’s why it’s funny but our parents have Control over shaping us into what they want in a kid how do you think Asian people continue the culture of becoming doctors and being successful i’m not completely blaming the parents fault but it is partly why if you don’t push her kids to do more than they won’t unless they just naturally have that ability to push themselves but nine out of 10 kids nowadays will not have that in them and it’s because they don’t have to parents give kids the Silverspoon all the time that’s just how it is when they had to work at 14 and drop out of school most likely I know this because my mom does this to me and she says it every day
Gen Y : I will become young CEO at the age of 35, retire early at 45 and become grandparents at 55. Gen Z : Nah i can make it to CEO at 15, retire at 25 and look like grandparents when i'm only 35.
Tengericsillag that one surprised me. I understand being optimistic about their own futures because of financial planning and whatnot, but general optimism about the state of the US and the world? That just seems incorrect.
Cactiyote I'm mean, I'm a Gen Z and I'm (and many I know are) pretty optimistic about our future and the state the world's going to - even if it doesn't seem like it lol
Gen z for me is 1996-2010 i will divide it in early, mid and late gen z: early gen z: 1996-2000 (or late millennials) mid gen z: 2001-2005 (the real "generation z") late gen z: 2006-2010 (pre gen alpha)
I think we should stop arguing with each other and accept each other differences, I am Gen Y born 92 and together as a generation we can be the first to cope and learn from one another instead of saying ''haha old man''. :) we are the generation that will change the world! we can do this together!
There are so many different sources about which years are Gen Y and which are Gen Z. Don't focus on particular years too much.
I focus on the wix. ☺

"Gen Z processes information faster than any other generation."
Process information, yes. Critical thinking surrounding said information, no.
You can't generalize
Age doesn't mean in-depth knowledge, neither many years of working experience
they also love to spread false rumors faster than any other generation 🤣🤣
Yeah when it comes to school they don’t really achieve as much as other generations
Very little critical thinking. Social media rewards group think
the true gen z kids have played Minecraft before
So true gen z kids are 1997-2003. Anyone born 2004 and after is all fortnite
Colin Miller nahhh I disagree... Minecraft is with the cool kids of 2002-2006
Colin Miller I was born in 2004 and Fortnite should die in fire.
My classmates, most of whom were born in 2005, agree.
It's really 2007 and later that likes Fortnite.

Well your statement works dor all the loud and obnoxious ones.. but statistics don't just look at the weird new emo kids that listen to billie eilish all day..
Agreed, inherent optimism bias and terror management theory might be going out of fashion. Ideologies like antinatalism based on consent might be another thing that makes them more realistic/pessimistic according to survey results on subreddit.
I was born in 1992 and I feel like I fall right in the middle. My childhood was without much technology, we played outdoors with our neighborhood friends, but my adulthood is consumed with it.

When I went to Mexico, man it was a different vibe. Hardly any phones and all conversations were eye to eye. I think it's because US is full of different cultures, races, religions and opinions that it's hard to get along with anyone so the best thing is to look at your phone lol.

I'm a Millennial and I'm blown away by how cool and confident so much of Gen Z is. When I was 15 I could barely put an outfit together and my self-esteem was in the dumpster. They are also a lot more socially aware at a younger age surely due to the internet. I think Millennials shouldn't fall into the cycle of the older generation hating the next. We can learn a lot from them and I think despite some of them doing stupid things like the Tidepods they have a good head on their shoulders.
i love this comment

@FartingFatso69 I was born in the 80s and I like memes. So, it's not all of us? I just hate it when memes become commercialized by companies.
Davis O'Brien I don’t think the original commenter meant it that way. It’s definitely the type of memes teens in the Gen Z category find funny nowadays(ironic tik toks, deep fried memes, offensive memes etc.).
Memes are a gen z thing change my mind
Internet memes started with 2chan and 4chan, which were created by millennials, not gen Z.
We had reallife memes. It was words or sentences we used. It was infused in the language
Born in 88 and part of Gen Y one thing I'll say about Gen Y is this, the 90s were the best and back in the day society wasn't as crazy as it is now.
I agree same year bro
Same here also born in 88 . I 💯 precent agree with this.
I'm a millennial working in a high school full of gen z and this is... not 100% accurate. The biggest difference between millennials and gen z is that gen z grew up around technology and social media a heck of a lot more than millennials. Other than that, the current gen z in high school isn't much different from millennial teens back in the day- some are optimistic, some are angsty, some are driven, some aren't. Don't know why everyone is getting so butthurt over this video 🤷🏻♀️ define yourself and don't let bs labels like this define you.

It's not differences between generations, most of the comparisons you make are adults versus teens
Tasos Lechoudis you nailed it. When gen z needs to get a job, we will see what happens hehehe
I know, right? These differences just highlight the changes that occur as you get older. Now I recognize that there are people of Gen Z who are adults with jobs. They are punching the clock and earning a living. But even the oldest of Gen Z aren't even 30 yet.
I also think half of the stuff is BS as it is - they can multitask - watching tv and chatting lol :D dude in the 50s people watch tv and did the dishes whats so brave about it.
Or remember back in 2005 when people would go together to the shopping mall to buy stuff while sharing opinions - it the goddamn same thing - just the medium is changed due to the internet.
Also, if you are 15-20 and you are pessimistic - tough life mate.
That’s literally what generations are
And in time everything this video attributes to Millennials will be true about Gen Z, and everything they're saying about Gen Z will be true about the next generation. This video acts like these qualities are exclusive to the generation they're talking about, but it's not.
Gen Z is good at multi-tasking because they're in their early twenties, not because there is something special about their generation.

I thought millennials grew up in the early 2000’s and generation z were born after 2010
My mom doesn't believe she is a millennial and I think it's funny
that's because some people (especially those born in the 90s) aren't sure if they belong in the group or not. I've searched countless sources online and people kept swinging the cut-off year to be considered a millennial is it until the 1990s or until the 2000s.
That's because adults born in the early 80's refuse to be lumped in with a group of people who act like dip shits with no work ethic.
As a millennial, this is how I see the differences between us and Gen Z. Millennials are the disillusioned and fatalist generation. We were raised in a time of hope and given instructions how to reach that dream, then when we did the things, everything collapsed. We were called entitled and should be grateful to have any job, so we did. We took on 2-3 jobs just to scrap by. We banded together, shared what we had, and accepted that everything was fleeting, so try to find small joys in the moment. Which is why we're apparently killing every market out there. We're patient and understanding, because we look at the person across from us and see ourselves-- sure that the waiter, the cashier, the uber driver, etc aren't where they expected to be either.
Gen Z, however, was born in this shit storm, so I see them as the realist generation. They look at how things are and know if they don't do anything, the shit storm is only going to get worse. They're more tolerant of what makes everyone different, supportive of new ideas no mater where they come from, and give a big "fuck you" to anyone that tells them they're too young to do/know anything about the real world. They look at the raging debt millennials run around with, see how well the "normal" route worked for us, so look at a new path for solutions. They're accused of the instant gratification generation, but really, they're the "why wait?" generation. If you have a good idea, an amazing opportunity, a chance to make change, then do it!
Whereas millenials see failure as affirmation that everything is horrible and nothing will ever change, I see Gen Z pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and go, "Well, that didn't work. Let's try something else." What this video described as impatience among the Gen Z when something doesn't work, I see as a generation that doesn't accept that it's just the way things are. If it's broken, then fucking fix it!
Bottom line, both our generations get shit on and told we're the problem. That we're entitled and selfish, but we're neither. We're just a bunch of people trying to figure out how to survive in this world that was created for us.
heather wills H E L L Y E A H
It is easy to be optimistic in a bad environment when you're still a child or very young adult. Life is ahead you. You have plenty of time to screw up, start back over and figure things out until you get it right. There is no time constraint and eventually things get better. When you're older, you don't have these privileges and tend to get caught up in the present.
You put too much faith in Gen Z, they are the next boomers, entitled and demanding. Live off others' achievements.
heather wills amen! Its like millenials are the bridge between a world baby boomers knew and the future that gen z accurately sees. We were literally raised with expired principles for success yet curiously perceived as failures meanwhile gen z is looking at our struggles and going 'fuck that dated advice, im going with what works'
YESSSSSSSSSSSS Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know much about Gen Z, but the millenial part at least is soooooooooo true. And I hope you're right about Gen Z. We need someone to actually get shit done, and stop listening to the advice to wait and do as you're told. We were way too trusting and obedient, and we got screwed big time. I want to see a generation of rebels who can tell when someone's trying to defraud them and won't stand for it. We're in a shoddy position to make change; struggling under our debts to get by. I hope Gen Z can do better, for everyone's benefit, because they still have the time and resources to try to!
I just hope they don't end up being rude to us like all the other generations if they do find success. It sucks being told you're the problem and you're entitled when all you want to do is be able to pay your rent and eat without going further into debt. I'd... also like a house and comfortable middle class, debt-free life someday soon, but I suppose that would make me selfish. But really, what are those other generations mad at us for? For being poor right now? Or for daring to still have hope for our lives despite our terrible start? I'm not sure how we can survive without the idea that we might really get what we were promised some day. I think all any of us want is to lie down one day in a comfortable home, calm in the knowledge that we will be able to pay all our bills and no longer have debts looming over our heads.
I like how nobody can describe what a millennial is correctly. It's almost like the concept doesn't exist and media and corporations just use it as a way to market products.
Oh, wow, maybe not every single person is exactly the same if they're born within the same generation.
Game Opinions He's on to us
Generations are very vague. There is no clear line. Honestly I was born in 1999 and I have some traits of a millenial, some of Z.
You can pretty much decide for yourself what generation you feel part of if you are kind of in the middle like me, of course I can claim I am a baby boomer but that's ridiculous. But in the end, why does it even matter what generation you are in? Do people really need something else relatable to feel satisfied in life?

You're Gen Z.
I am 100% millennial because my sisters are elder millennials and I’m the only 90s kid, so growing up, I do go through what xenials go through but because of the generational gap, I get excluded from all the grown up genx things and I end up growing up with all the millennial things alone (ie reality tv, matrix, y2k, early consoles, blackberries, celebs crash and burn, etc. oh and also all the good Pixar dreamworks wars). It can be very isolating in this situation even if you have siblings and you have things that only you understand.

I'm a 1998 born GenZ but 95% of those who are my age didn't had access to computers and internet during schooling(child to teens, those techs are probably unaffordable) & only during 16 to 19 age we got access to slow 2G/3G limited data internet, laptop PC & smartphone.

Millennials, like all other generations, are not scientific/historical categories. Just popularized buzz words. This video is completely based on subjectivity.
Yes but those terms exist because we wanted some way to discuss the way different age groups in a society grow up in different environments and as a result have certain attitudes or lifestyles that set them apart from the other age groups. Just because they can't be nailed down scientifically doesn't mean they aren't real or don't have meaning.

Yeah I agree, they are comparing people that are in different age groups like they are "equals" in terms of that they both have had enough time out in the world.
Gen Z wasn’t born with smartphones there were Blackberries and flip phones
Dalton MASTER yeah but I’m about as old as a Gen Z person gets and I was 5 when the iPhone came out so I don’t think that effects us very much
Gen z's teenage life was filled with smartphones and internet,
@@-star_27-20 I was 8
Born in 2003 here. I remember flip phones and blackberries. My mom had a flip-phone when I was younger ( iPhones we're out at the time tho), but now has a more up-to-date phone since she can drive now and has more uses for it. And I remember my dad had a blackberry phone when I was around 8/9.

James Whitman nah that’s the millennials thing 😂😂
Kayjaysdns nah, the whole 2012 tumblr safespace uwu thing was a toxic mixture of the worst people from both gen x and z
mimimomomama mi nah bro not true I’m gen Z currently 19 yo and in 2012 I was 12/13 lol people that age definitely did not impose those stupid safe space PC ideologies. And before you say it yes I do understand that gen z starts at about 1995 and people born in that year during 2012 were 19 but I disregard them as many of their peers and fellow college goers that were older were millennials with those ideas in which part indoctrinated the gen z coming up in those universities and tumblr pages. Somewhere along the way the younger side of the gen z age groups have seen the outcome of this and realized (for the most part as there are always outliers) how ridiculous and damaging to society that way of thinking/living is. The majority of people I grew up with and the ages younger than me seem to be on the same page when it comes to ridiculing those retarded ideologies. So yes gen z technically was a part of the beginning of the safe space culture to an extent but the millennials were the true orchestraters so in my opinion those gen z PC followers are lumped in with the millennials when it comes to ideology. I am hopeful for the future as a lot of people my age and younger that I know and observe online are nowhere near as sensitive as the group previously stated and yes I realize that is anecdotal but it’s the only information I have without actually surveying the populous lol
I hate adults who say the internet is bad. They do realize like 30% of what we learn or even more is all because of the internet. I learn all about diseases, history, and world problems on the internet in 30 minutes verses 8 hours at school. Im an above average person when it comes to school and I thank it all to the internet. It's how I learn and have fun at the same time.
Books were bad, radio was bad, tv was bad, now the internet is bad everytime something new shows up and its misunderstood its bad. All of these things are neutral it is all up to the individual to know what to do with them.
Elleon DeMuskeres back then when the church controlled almost anything that wasn’t the bible could’ve/would’ve been considered “bad”

I always find I get more knowledge from books but they're harder to find.I'm only 16 so maybe before the internet there were more libraries.
Thts what exactly your future kids would say to you
I think people born in the early '90s (now in late 20s) are kinda the buffer zone between Millennials and Gen Z. Most of the social media and tech that define modern life became popular when we were in high school and college (as opposed to full childhood for Gen Z and full adulthood for Millennials), so we spent our childhoods without smartphones and social media, but none of our adulthoods.
Yeah I think we were the last group of kids to watch Saturday morning cartoons, and as time went by we became teens when social media was starting to boom.
Born in 03 and lived basically a 90s childhood
I think the best distinction is if were financially established before the 2008 recession vs after. A lot of the tropes about younger people- being called "lazy" or "entitled" while working multiple jobs and living in an apartment, trying to be entrepreneurial or making money online, etc. comes down to that
Born in '91. We lived the best of both worlds.
@@marcotardini7321 born in 05 and same
I was born in 1998 and I fall into a hard category for most people to define.
As I grew up with technology and was also one of the last kinds of people to go outside and hang with friends. So, I've read that some studies say that my birth year is Gen Z while others are Gen Y. So which is it as I don't fall into Gen Y but also not into Gen Z
1998 youre definitely a gen Z, an old one though
I’ would say 95 to 99 lived the same childhood growing up

GEN Z: you sounding kinda sus ngl
The problem with defining "generations" is that it opens the gate to stereotyping. These stereotypes don't always mirror the truth.
For instance my dad, which is from 2 generations back, has the same "if set brand fails me then I will move on" mentality. While a classmate of mine, who was born in 2000, shows brand loyalty to Apple.
Both my parents are tech savvy dispite being born before 1980 and I've known people, who are technically millennials/gen Z, be completely tech illiterate.
It depends how you're raised and what your interests are, not the loosely defined year range in which you were born.
Hanro50 yah
I studied art in college and university. So many people, even 5-6 years younger than me have absolutely no clue how to even get the printer to work.
Hanro50 right? I might be a gen z kid but judging by everything I've heard I'm practically a millennial other than my age
Hanro50 I know right... it's just a classification to group people together and nothing more. It doesnt make someone more tech savvy or more spoiled than another generation. People seem to be too wrapped up in the stereotypes and hating on other generations. Or saying things such as "I have depression cuz if the baby boomers and gen X!"
If you think about stereotypes as being essentially obsolete and noxious, that is.
But it seems, as almost everybody, you use stereotypes to judge individuals, while it is a group statistic. Making you wrong by default.
But hey, don't mind, it isn't like it was important.
Gen Z: I'm afraid to go home because my mom is gonna yell at me.
Millienials: Dude the only language my mom knew was Yell.

I was born in 1990. Growing up, most of the people I spent time with were from the Silent Generation and those of the Greatest Generation. As a result, I often relate to people much older than myself.

A couple things; I think gen z is too young to be making generalizations on their outlook on life and what they find important. Not even 5 years ago, almost all these same "Gen Z" traits were being attributed to millenials, so I think most of this can be chalked up to age and maturity level more than what generation someone is born in. Second, when you look at the science, multitasking is literally impossible. The brain doesn't have the capability to focus on 2 things at once, you're just switching focus back and forth between the two things which often equates to lower comprehension of topics, reduced quality of work, and reduced productivity.
samb614ify Yes and no... switch tasking is a legitimate productivity hack and one proven to be far more effective than literally trying (in vain) to multitask or to focus on one thing too long.
The trick is to maximize the time you use to focus to your ultradian rhythms with flexibility for maintaining your Flow state if you ever get there...
But yeah... generations is a loose, if not false, concept that is more about shared experiences then when you were born
samb614ify Absolutely, couldn't agree more
I don't even think the whole multitasking thing in the video is that true - citation is needed on what was said. Also I completely agree that comparing generations either side of some formative years isn't a fair or accurate comparison. Finally, as a gen z teen I reckon that what was mistook for optimism was more a sense that thus far we haven't been able to control that future, but the prospect of being able to control it gives us optimism
samb614ify ^ this
samb614ify yeah I know right try comparing generations that are both adults and only compare things like behaviour

my thoughts totally!
It doesn't affect any generation. We just speak about it openly
I’m here from the future, this video didn’t age well at all. Almost every post I’ve about gen Z has fallen flat now.
Weird thing is, people born around 2000-2003 are their own breed. Young around the time when tech wasn’t as good but growing up whilst tech is good so we still had a similar childhood to millennials but not weird enough to be identified with Jake Paul and that kind of human cancer cell
There is no finite definition. Theres an around 8-10 year time span thats a grey area around 1995-2004 where neither really counts.
So true. I'd say people born in the late 90s/early 2000s are somewhat in between millennials/gen Z. The best of both worlds you know what I mean.
And 1999 as well
Slav3_Edge all jake paul gans seem to be people wgo are likr 13-16 so pretty close to being born around 2000-2003. At the end of the day you can fit into a group but it's just that, a group. Everyone is a little different and this is just the average of each generation being represented.
Omg so accurate
Might just be me, but it seemed there were more "facts" about Gen Z than the actual comparisons between Z and Millennials..
I thought so too
Kennedy Blaq right seemed like Gen Z has just graduated high school/college and just hasn’t realized the world isn’t sunshine and rainbows either.
It appears as if we aren’t really pessimistic or optimistic but kinda in the middle right where reality is.
John Short I actually think it's the opposite. Generation Z is more pessimistic than the previous generation since they don't remember a time before 911
Alba Lopez I think we're more optimistic because we were more desensitized at a younger age and are aware of how bad shit can be. Due to that we have an appreciation for how good we've got it, relatively speaking.
McBubbleslvl900 I see.... So I guess low expectations?
Generation Z to Millennials : ''You merely adopted technology, I was born in it, molded by it.''
We adopted and transformed it.

Hey buddy, Millenials wont let you guys have technology until you can see what you missed out on and enjoy it. Nature. I wish you guys could have seen the world when kids didnt have to fear going to the park, playing outside until dark with friends. Please understand how we care and I will tell you why we care. Sometimes abuse causes abuse and we are trying to break the cycle.
I was born in 1999. But I was raised as a Millennial. We didn't have internet or cellphones, and still had a fat tv until 2015. My school I went to was all pencils and paper. Didn't even get a cellphone until I was 18.
Wow really you had an old TV that long? Interesting. I finally had a modern flat screen TV in 2010 and I thought that was late!
well you are probably the only one in your gen.. no internet until 2015? ya ok im sure
Is gen Z really defined by living exclusively on the new tech? The smart phone was an end of 2000’s thing while Gen Z started a decade or more before
I just found out the generation after z is called "alpha"... everybody brace yourself for THAT one...
Mechanical Ninjineer I kinda see why. Generation alpha will be the most technologically advanced they will grow up with robots and probably be fluent in writing code. More schools are replacing books with tablets and making everything more technology based.
i feel bad for the next generation... i don't want my son be a beta
I'll go ahead and rename gen alpha to gen Omega. The last gen.
Y, Z, and beyond are going to crash the whole ship.
Why Alpha? If anything they're beta
Barry Allen That's bullshit. People have been saying that every generation since humans have been writing, but by pretty much every metric, we have ALWAYS improved upon our parent generation. Millennials are still young, but tend to be more morally concious than Generation X. Generation Z are more efficient workers than Millennials. Generation X are less spoiled than Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers were more intelligent than the Silent Generation. Etc... Etc...
All this generational stereotypes makes me sick, really.
Fr
There's a difference between stereotypes and observable trends/preferences...
A. G. True. Also, us as people, we make these “stereotypes” true, when we ACTUALLY do what older folks say, “these kids...” or, “these hot-tailed girls these days...” etc. sorry if that didn’t make sense. I addressed it the best I could.
The stereotypes are what define the generation
@@illuminaticake4528 FALSLEY. Stereotypes are often untrue + there's lots of cross over in experiences. Maybe don't frame a conversation before you start it then you 1. will actually listen to the person you're talking to & 2. won't reframe the conversation to fit the preconceptions you came in with.
Good parenting is the first method to revolutionizing the world.

Anon Anon Thank You; See Someone who knows what’s important not this Sillyness.
I strongly agree, although we also desperately need good schooling.
As an elder millennial myself, born in (1986) my peers and I consider our self-more of a (Xennial, 1978 to 1983 and some say to 1985) We have nothing in common with younger millennials, but we are more in common with people being born in the early 1980s, which includes (while growing up) common interest in TV shows, music, movies, culture, fashion, politics and so on. If you are a older millennial, born around the early to mid 1980s, look up the generation (Xennial)
This video is pretty much adults vs teens. Not comparing generations accurately
Acquerio O Teens = optimistic little shits. Adults = pessimistic boring old farts. Missed anything?
Gen z isn't optimistic at all though. They're also more right wing than the millenials too...
Chaotic Neutral oh no, the stereotypes strike again. Whatever can we do?
笑みE M M I E mate, think about it.
Also born 2000, England here. Don't need to talked down to by someone of the same age. I do have some basic understanding of what goes on and stuff.
I was just being sarcastic.
Honestly as a Gen Z I find that other Gen Z’s are a lot more optimistic about things. Really the generation/s before Millennials f*cked the world up, and it’s our job to fix is. That’s what my other Gen Z mates believe at least.
I never really understood people who hate other people just because they were born on a different year as them. Regardless of your current age, please grow up.
Before you judge our generation, remember who raised it.
