    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.

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.

  • @heatherwills3404
    @heatherwills3404 6 лет назад +728

    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.

      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.

      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?

      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

      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.

Because that is how Pew Research Centre defined it. And also, they defined it based on remembering 9/11. Yes, I was 3 years and 8 months And 11-12 days old when it occurred. Yes, as an elder Gen Z. As a Malaysian Chinese Born on 8th December 1997 In Brunei, I disagree that Millennials were born from 1st January 1981 to 31st December 1996. I am younger than all the 1996-born babies by a year.

I'm boggled by the number of likes.. People say they want facts, but most just want to agree with what feels good. I'll grant that a generation should not span 20 years, and that 35yo millennials should not be lumped in with 18yos, but let's have some consistency.

    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.

    Yeah, being a Gen-Zer means being optimistic... About depression! Growing up we're told the world is a horrible place so what do we do? We just make the most of it by laughing at it. There's nothing we can do except try live up to the expectations of everyone around us. It sucks.
    Yes, we maybe on our phones all day but I'll use it by looking up articles to learn about mental health. Considering I deal with it I also want to help other people like me. I also try to learn about things that school can't teach me. I know people my age doing the same thing. Most of the time we will talk about problems in our world and what we should do to fix it even if we can't. I also use my phone to focus on things I need to do. I will play music when I have an anxiety attack, need to clean my room, or do homework. It helps me focus. I'm glad we have the internet. But it doesn't make school any easier. Once again, stress and expectations from our families and teachers.
    Personally I don't like social media. I don't even use it often. I only have Instagram and that's so then I can keep in contact with my friends. And just talk with my internet friends if they got a problem. Kinda like a therapist but for free. I've been looked at by older people who think I'm just like any other rebellious teenager who loves being alone in their room, on my phone all day, listening to music. If I could go out I would. If I could hang out with my friends I would. Literally no one I talk to even likes hanging out with their family because everyone is so judgmental. Unlike us kids and teens who don't give a crap what someone wears, what their sexuality is, or what they like. I'd say most of us are very open-minded people. We only really care if your a b*tch to us or not if I'm being honest. I'd could say so much more but now I realise I've been typing this for over half an hour.

We should be judging on each other based on individual behavior, history, and genetics but that would probably be too difficult for most people.

      Generations are convoluted. Some sources say gen z starts at 2000 some say 1994 some say 1999ect
