Opera is a really cool browser, i mostly use it if i wanna keep in track of my tabs, and it actually does that! Thanks👍!!
Anything for you GABS
You know what I actually will
My go to youtuber !!
Didn't know we were already in the next season of my favourite show, "Everyone Younger Than Me Is Stupid And Everyone Older Than Me Is Cringe"
.
At least you can take solace in the fact that they too will have their "shit I'm getting old now" moment where they exist between youth and eldership.
@@kylegonewild .
@@kylegonewildat least we have something in common!!
Ikr time flew by, it feels like it was just a year ago that people were talking about how ridiculous the millenial and gen z beef is....Oh wait it was a year ago.
I feel like insulting small children for being "cringe" MIGHT be the reason why they're attempting to act "older" with sephora and all of that.
I feel like the internet is mostly to blame, little kids definitely shouldn’t be on tiktok or social media of any kind.. Not only can it affect their minds but it’s dangerous.. I remember seeing TODDLERS WITH PACIFIERS making TikToks, it’s disturbing 🤢
Teens will always call kids cringe. I think it's their job now.
@@srose1088 its been an age old tradition
Lol I don't agree with shaming kids for being cringe, we were ALL cringe.
The only difference between us and Gen Alpha is that the "cringe" is more public the internet.
For anyone curious, the Mourning Dove is very much not extinct, but in fact one of the most abundant bird species in North America
Yeah I moved to a new place and I literally hear it all day long. I was like "what annoying bird is that I hear all the time." I didn't grow up with them so it's wild that the bird that annoys me all day is a nostalgic thing.
@@ReareaGirloh wow! Thats crazy because even though I had my childhood in another country, this bird could be heard in the morning when I would wake up. So I have nothing but sweet nostalgic memories whenever I hear it.
Let's all mourncore the Mourning Dove like we mourned emo
I'm from germany and I hear this bird call a lot
The worst thing modern social media did was force teenagers and adults into the same spaces. Teens should be able to giggle about how cringe adults are in private and adults shouldn’t have to be forced to remember teenagers exist.
Facts. But can't have separation but the creeps will find their way in.
I was gonna disagree but then I noticed you're completely right
Wow. How have I never had this thought. You're so right.
similar to when Facebook went from college students only to everyone.
I love this take lol
The fact that this happens with every generation is so annoying. Every generation has beef with the generation before and after like let’s grow up guys.
I think the main problem is that we are growing up
I thought we were going to be different but no 😭 we are like any other pathetic generation that makes fun of the younger generation 😭 beefing with ten year olds
And every time the older generations is like "Ok but we have a good reason now, its not like when my grandpa made fun of me its totally different".
What do you expect when adults start beefing with literal fucking children. We are so desperate to retain our youth that we get salty over younger people moving into what was once our spaces. It's sad.
Lol only a Zoomer would say something so cringe.
I'm millennial, I used to call Gen X and Boomers cringe. Gen z then called me cringe. Gen Alpha is calling Gen z cringe.
Now ive just realised that everyone is cringe.
This is true. Best to own it.
Gen Z take's the cake, over 50+million videos on Tiktok of them faking illnesses has to be a generational L.
we all get old one day lol
@@Isaac-ul8yzunless we die before we get old enough
@@_azurejakeDude I've been saying this forever, each generation is leagues more cringe than the last and gen-z will not be immune
Gen alpha: you are grandma
Genz: im literally 15yrs old
as a 2009 born, i 100% agree with you

I'm 21. 😔 time is flying way too fast.

As a younger millenial its interesting to me that all the "millenial cringe" things are specifically from the mid 2010s vine/tumblr era. Not stuff like Chuck Norris jokes or "wassssuppp!"
“Leeeeeeeeeeerooooy Jenkinnnnns!”
You're the man now, dog!
As a millennial...we deserve to be cringe-shamed for Lolcats & "I can haz cheeseburger" 🙈
Yeah I can’t really tell why. As a older Gen Z
WASUUUUUUUUUP
"I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’, and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you!" -Grandpa Simpson, 1996
Someone told me this quote for the first time when I was 16 and now I'm 26 and I been hearing it that whole 10 years 🥲
@bingonight1504 I'm 25 and we're still the young adult generation, so we control what 'it' is, just not for much longer 😩

"thats coquette" "thats cottagecore" "they're the same shirt" killed me
And yet, at the same time, once I got past the fact that they were the same shirt, I actually understood what she meant and she is not wrong lol
@@raven_moonshine39 I don't see the cottagecore imo. cottagecore is usually supposed to look a bit vintage, but the tight sleeves on this make it look too modern. as for coquette...idk coquette could be anything pink and cute
@@monbub What both have in common is lace and vaguely vintage and it's basically a peasant top ala the early 2000s with lace details. So, really it would depend on what you pair them with. Pair the brown one with a peasant skirt and a bandana in the hair, maybe add a vest: cottagecore. Pair the pink one with a white pleated skirt, gold jewelry or pearls or both, and bows: coquette.
@@raven_moonshine39 pair either one with baggy camo pants and you get "cool outsider teen girl" from the Disney channel in 2010
Anytime I start to complain about something kids do I ask myself, "do I sound like a 1920s grandpa calling jazz music evil?" and then I usually settle down
I worked as a server for years and now am a therapist. The amount of variety I see in people across all generations has cemented the fact that online culture is not a true reflection of people in real life. Yes there are correlations, but an individual’s opinion on ANYTHING can be influenced by their personal experiences. We find consistencies in studies to try to help those who belong to a specific group, but getting to know the individual through conversation and time I believe is respectful in my practice.
Not everyone has the time to do that though and if it can be monetized, it will be pushed.
I try to get a similar message across to people I know in person, especially my friends. It's a bit draining hearing them complain about "kids these days" while we're only in our early 20s. I've met many people older than me who don't fit the stereotypes attached to their age and younger people who also don't fit into the generational "box". Like people are individuals not statistics, we should treat them as such. But we know how the internet like to operates lol
Totally. The generational thing doesn't really work for me, because I'm not American. I grew up in a very small country with its own media and culture and etc and now as an adult live in the western world. That American millennial/ Gen z/ Gen alpha experience is definitely not universal. Online, being a millennial means like Disney movies, Harry potter, nickelodeon, Ashley tisdale... Idk, but all things that I didn't really grow up with lol
This comment should gotten more likes, cause it’s factual. But... it’s not trendy to have critical thinking. Not sure it’ll ever will based upon real life.
I totally blame the parents for letting their kids ruin Sephora, but also... maybe Sephora should stop targeting children for makeup and skincare they don't need and then getting mad that they haven't childproofed their stores.
I don’t see that happening. Why would giant corporation only sell makeup to mom when they can sell to the whole family?
i fear the brands are targeting young kids not sephora
Targeting aside, it’s a parent’s responsibility to be aware of what products their child is consuming (or attempting to) and take appropriate action. Not everyone will take the same action and not every child will be interested in consuming a given product.
Literal children thinking they need skincare is so sad to me. You want to protect your skin, kids? WEAR SUNSCREEN. Parents? Put sunscreen on your kids! They'll hate you for it but thank you later.
You definitely need more than sunscreen after hitting puberty. That is when you start skincare, but you dont start using anti aging/wrinkling stuff like retinol until mid to late 20's when your face actually starts aging like that. Skin care is a broad spectrum, its important to introduce it to your kids at the appropriate age and also explain the uses of these creams, because at this point they are just throwing away money. I'm not sure if theres much science behind using these creams so early on, but I'm going to assume since its never been recommended to teens or very young adults, using things like retinol wouldn't make much of a difference and is likely just a waste of money@@shinyumbreon696
Basic skin scare should be started at puberty, this would be face wash and a moisturizer, maybe a mask every now and then.
Early 20's antioxidant seriums along with regular skincare routine
Late 20's anti aging ingredients like retinol.
You just have to use skin care appropriately for your age
It's sad that there isnt even Child Friendly websites anymore (Like girlgogames, club penguin, moshi monsters etc.) You can't even hang out at parks anymore. Having nowhere else to go, kids come into adult/teen spaces (social media) and pick up on trends/try and copy ADULTS (like what they wear, makeup ect.) So when ppl call them Cringe, it urges them on to try to fit in MORE 😮💨😮💨
At least coolmathgames still exists
RIP Neopets
There's still cool math games and math playground so I wouldn't get to worried. Those are still up and running and perfectly kid appropriate. I also think those Toca boca games a pretty alright for kids too
Why can't they hang out at parks? I'm from Russia, there are plenty parks here and I see kids there all the time. Is it different in other places? I don't get why they don't hang out outside anymore
@@MsHermyGranger I think that the US is notoriously not very friendly for pedestrians and it is difficult for kids to hang out at the park, library, and malls compared to a decade ago. I think many young children would love to hang out at a park or mall, but it's likely very difficult for them to get there on their own.
I recently read a book that was written in the late eighteenth century, and in that book the narrator was complaining about the entitled youths. Some things never change, and complaining about the younger generation is one of them!
It's the rules
as a fellow gen z, i quit tiktok and a variety of other social media some three months ago because i was doom scrolling and anxious all the time, and it’s genuinely improved my quality of life so much. i wouldn’t even say my screen time is overall reduced as i’ll still fill it with other media like streamers or tv or video games or hey, here on youtube, so it really speaks volumes to the type of content i was consuming on social media specifically.
I have done the same and I can totally relate to it. :)
I bet when Gen Alpha is older they’ll be fighting with the younger generation too
It’s such an old grudge that Socrates wrote about it!
It’s guaranteed
I feel like that was the point of the video
@@tehbeernerd this generational war thing is happening every generation, not surprised socrates wrote about it
I feel like you missed the whole intent of the video when you say you have to 'bet.'
It is so strange teaching elementary school art and hearing literal second graders say things like “POV I’m doing art” “skibidi” “rizz”
that's kinda sad to me tbh. they can't even do art without relating it to the internet. it shows how strong of a grip the internet has on them.
Same here, I'm a teacher aide and I hear kids as young as 5 referencing stuff like skibidi toilet and the Grimace Shake
See but I definitely remember hearing Vine references and stuff as a gen-z elementary schooler. I get the sentiment but this isn't a new phenomena by any means
I think my humor is broken because why did "POV im doing art" kind of make me laugh.
@@evilmikuplushie4603 me too but it's not my fault it's fucking hilarious because why point that out when your whole lfe is from your POV
As an older Gen Z, the only beef I have with Alpha is how our schooling and parenting system has failed them
It’s kinda weird that there’s a feedback loop with the gen alpha brainrot humour, cus gen z will make memes about brainrot and then gen alpha will see them but miss the irony, find it funny and just feed into it
Exactly it should be gen z brain rot
“The early 2000s bird” is crazy considering the mourning dove is like one of the most abundant birds in the US lmao
fr I hear that bird almost everyday in the morning or afternoon
hearing them say that almost gave me a headache 😭
To be fair, I relate to that nostalgia sentiment (not the "early 2000s bird" though that's crazy lol), but that's more because I spent a lot of time outside when I was a kid (not really voluntarily, my parents were just forcing us) so that sound is really implanted deep in my brain. And now, I live in a big city instead of the little town where I grew up, I have a job, I spend most of my free time watching tv shows, playing videogames or doing chores/cooking. So that sound, to me, is more of a reminder of simpler times where I didn't have any real responsibilities, where I could just spend hours doing nothing for days on end and my life wouldn't crumble because of it.
So yeah, I definitely relate to the nostalgic sentiment, but maybe not quite in the same way as these people. And I also understand where it's coming from and it's not because "they're extinct since 2020" (though from what I just looked up, the population seems to be decreasing a bit).
And the sound isn't even that unique. I'm in central Europe and the pigeons make the exact same sound lmao
Morning doves are pigeons 😂🤣
As a millenial idk what the big deal is about skibidi toilet. "omg this is so weird and incomprehensible!!!!!!!" Literally it's no different than shit you could find in a GMod video from like 15 years ago like ??????
I'm gen alpha (11) and I don't watch skibidi toilet but based off of the screenshots I guess it is not different from the older Gmod videos. they're basically the same.
could actually just be from a GMod Idiot Box video I missed
Cyclic shitposting?
i'm a gen z and we had these weird comedy videos when i was in middle school/high school like potato knishes and very odd/dorky gaming edits idk what's so different about this one honestly
its exactly like those videos because it uses the same engine and 3d models
THANK YOU for pointing out the '2000s bird'...I constantly come across those 'childhood nostalgia' videos and it's just grass and trees and mourning doves. it kinda makes me sad that gen z is so stuck inside they never hear the birds.
"the early 2000s bird" is WILD i literally have a mourning dove nesting outside my bedroom window
Behold! Aristotle bitching about the youth of Athens:
"They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things -- and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else."
It cracks me up - people have been doing this as far back as ANCIENT GREECE, and honestly probably longer

For real like just go outside 🤣
there are 4 doves in my backyard right now 😂
Watching this just made me want to stop using the internet so much more than anything. None of this culture applies to anyone who isn’t also chronically online, I’d never be able to talk to my family or friends my own age about it lmao
This. 100% I'm a gen z 19 and I deleted my socials to focus on working two jobs and building a good future for myself. Once you're off the internet you realize how the world is interly separate from the online world. Nothing is new, I can't wait to see how the next gen is gonna be. They are born next year 2025. It's all the boomers fault for all out problems 😪 😕
@@heatherlamb7363 Credit to you! I was in a rural village so a lot of my interactions were online. A week within turning 18, I moved to Wales and made up for lost time, detaching from a lot of the internet stuff, instead socialising and working in person. Best move I ever made. Life seems to move at 5x the pace that way, so Godspeed to you !
I’m a Gen X raising an 11 year old Alpha daughter. You have described a lot of her friends with the crazy skin care junk. Fortunately we are raising her not to be an idiot and she thinks they’re dumb.
She tells you she thinks they're dumb, but what she actually thinks and does when you're not looking is different. God knows I agreed with my parents in front of them just so they wouldn't be upset.

It's not weird at all, we are intelligent so our evolution of social constructs accelerates
Oh hi lexi
Yea it's all subjective and mean nothing. We should all just let everyone do anything they want, because, really, literally nothing matters is any way, shape, or form
The fact that someone said “the early 2000s bird” makes me think that this fixation on generational differences, classification, and gatekeeping is just accelerating 😵💫
As someone that wants to learn biology, hearing them call the bird that made me physically cringe and feel kinda angry and sad for the bird. Poor birdie has a name that everyone forgot.
Yeah that cracked me up, like bruh that bird didn’t go instinct, you just grew up, lost some of your childlike sense of wonder (as everyone does), and got used to the sound 😅
The gender thing is partly to blame as well. Or a side effect of it. That being the fixation on labels and sub sections/categories. They are doing it in music and literally everything. Everything has to have a label and a sub category and a sub category under that and another sub category within that one.
that extinct bird that only existed between the year 2000 and 2004
Gen X is not generally mocking other generations (with a few loud weird exceptions, and they seem to be the older end of Gen X), but you nailed it on what we were considered "bad" for. In fourth grade my school bus driver saw I had a D&D book, stopped the bus on the side of the road and called the police who picked me up. The police were cool, and probably slightly confused. Later my parents picked me up from the police station and tried to explain to me that some adults are not very understanding of the world. The book was the AD&D Player's Manual, I think, which my parents bought me for Christmas. The one with the wizard with the red hood on the front, which is really not super aggressive art or anything.
Mages wearing red must perfectly toe the line between Satanic Panic and the Red Scare I guess
Dude called the police on you... because you had a roleplay guide book?!
The nostalgia for morning doves is crazy cause I legit hear them all the time. Idk if everyone moved or just doesn’t listen to the outdoors. It’s so irritating
They’re literally still here they haven’t gone extinct I just heard on this morning that’s a myth 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I don’t know where the stereotype of kids don’t go out side anymore came from cause I’ll be first to debunk the the myth that kids don’t play outside anymore cause they in fact do. Kids still play outside in fact the only people that I see play outside are kids older people are the ones that aren’t going outside anymore not kids 😭😭😭😭
THe mourning dove thing is less about "I remember" and more about "GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE"
I’m 42 and in the 90’s we’d made the “morning dove” sound with our hands.
"Why don't kids go outside anymore?"
The outside they built: polluted car infested wasteland
Trash parents raising kids in some polluted city
right?? no third places, playgrounds either non existent or dirty and dangerous. what are kids supposed to do outside? shoplift and smoke cigarettes in the sewer, like the good ol' days?

As a crusty 30 something beyond his cultural relevance … I don’t remember thinking about Gen Z this much when I was literally 20 years old. That’s the real sign of us all being super online. There wasn’t Millennial v Zoomer discourse in 2010 to 2015. People born after 1997 had to actually get out of high school before I was really seeing “Those Millennials are so cringe for still talking about their Hogwarts House at 33” jokes. Gen Alpha is in freaking middle school and there is already a generational clash with Gen Z. Is Gen Alpha going to be battling Gen Beta or whatever we decide to call them before they are even out of Elementary School? WTF?
Honestly I'm the same age as you, well I'm 28 which makes me a millennial. But you're right nobody gave a crap about these stupid labels UNTIL recently. I hate it. Someone born a year after me have called me old just because I'm "not Gen z". People are so stupid now
@@fuosdi6410 years ago, I specifically remember Zoomers kind of being written off in terms of “They aren’t in the work force yet so nobody is writing think pieces about them.” That is how I thought it would be with Gen Alpha too.
But Gen Alpha middle schoolers can still have an online presence that Zoomers can notice & react to even though they are too young to even have a job at the mall, because they were born in 2011.
I absolutely did not absorb this level of Generation Wars discourse when I was in middle school. I had to become an actual adult for AVACADO TOAST to begin. Generational labels were being put on 2007 kids for making “the cake is a lie” jokes
I'm glad I'm not going crazy, I didn't see any of this happen until relatively recently either.
This is exactly what I was thinking during this whole video. I didn't even acknowledge or think about the generation behind me until I was like a full grown adult, and realized "oh, you're not like... old yet. oh well just give it a few years you'll catch up or whatever" it's wild to me how much people care about this fake generation nonsense. I don't even think about generations, I just think in terms of "people who are currently my age" "people who are currently teenagers" "people who are currently children" in 20 years there will still be teenagers and children. and they will still be doing stupid shit because they're teenagers and children, not because of whatever "generation" they're in
@@uhpkkim I think it will matter that Gen Alpha went through Covid super young are the first generation to be born entirely post smart phone and post social media. That is going to make them different from Zoomers & Millennials.
But they are just ****ing kids. Back in the day, we were just ****ing kids too.
Just coming across your videos and the sarcasm humor is on point for me. Hek yeah. And your inputs are very good.
Gotta say this before the comment section becomes flooded, you guys are two of my biggest inspirations on the platform and I have so much respect for you both. Thank you for the videos, you have both given me a lot of hope and laughter!❤️
It does absolutely break my heart that this amalgamation of occurrences from businesses closing due to covid, to how games have evolved led to tweens not having a space to be independent while still having a safety net like what third spaces provided.
Yeah, when you put it that way, it's no wonder they turn to social media
I think a bigger problem than social media in total is the algorithm-ification of social media. In the early days of Myspace/Facebook, you'd only see things from your circle of peers and groups you specifically chose to see. Early social media was in a way an extension of the third places; you'd meet people IRL and friend them on FB so you could see what they were up to at other times. Now, everyone of all ages is getting shown random stuff geared to people of all ages completely disconnected from their real-world experiences.
I used to be a huge techno-optimist, a fan of the possibilities of the internet, and have been trying to figure out where it's all gone wrong and I'm starting to think a big part is the depersonalization of social media. I think having the internet in your pocket at all times is also part of the problem, but that seems a little less connected to the issue at hand.
@@asset4802i turn to social media because my parents never let me go anywhere without them, even though I am closer to being 18 than I am to being a tween. It sucks hanging out with my friends and not being able to laugh at jokes they make because my mom thinks they are inappropriate, so I basically have no social life because of my parents. At least online my parents aren't completely watching over me at all times

@@user-zq8hk8fb1d you can’t really hang out at libraries. Any more than like three people are going to get shooed away for being disruptive.
All these names for aesthetics used to just be key words to look up outfits and shit on Pinterest
Wait that makes so much sense- how did I not realize that??
I thought that's what it was BRUH

@@______________url yeah, it was more widely known as keywords for Pinterest, but now it isn’t treated like that all time
fr that's all they are and should be. but people aspire to live like an aesthetic, which is impossible.
I paused the video because I couldn’t tell if the dove sound was coming from the video or outside my room at one point. It’s coming from outside, and the lil birdie is still going.
Your content has been improving lately and I can't wait to see the next video😌
The generational battle comes from a lack of sense of community. Younger generations don't have spaces or activities that allows them to create real bonds with peers outside of the internet and social media, so they turn to something like your birth year to feel a part of something. And when you create community part of it is beefing with others. Millennials, and some older gen z, had subcultures. The same age group of people separated by music, clothing, and styles. Nowadays culture is very homogenized, so they beef with other groups that aren't part of their group, ei other gens.
Most people don't realize that before "boomers" which are named for a baby boom after the end of WW2, most weren't named or were named by boomers. Then, because their children didn't want to suck the corporate nipple we were deemed generation X: brand less and not productive to society. After which came gen Y, or afterwards named Millennials by....you guessed it Baby Boomers. Divide and conquer....and who is running this country?!?!
100%
my dad got called a hippie by grown ass adults because he had long hair in the 70s. oldheads have always beefed with the kids of the day because they lowkey resent their teenage self they see reflected in the modern youth and they resent that theyre ageing. a sense of community *would* be helpful; inter-generational community building is as useful as feeling in community with your own cohort.
Dude.. this is it 2/13/2030 it’s decided omfg
@@Vexxa_ Did they use hippie as an insult? Lol
‘Fashion illiterate’ i audibly shouted ‘bro’ because that is the coldest shirt i’ve ever seen
They have Skibidi toilet, we had Happy Tree Friends, Charlie the Unicorn and Llamas with Hats…
I guess the mourning doves in my backyard didnt get the memo that they were extinct...
oh my god the mourning dove thing i swear "where did they go, they're all extinct now" they are literally least concern on the conservation scale and widespread across the US. just go outside. i hear them all the time, and see em all the time lmao
im not sure where you live, but i lived in oregon until 2023 and from 2015-2023 i didnt hear them AT ALL, they disappeared from the area at least, i genuinely hadnt heard one in so long that i thought they didnt exist anymore
it wasnt til i moved to the southwest that i finally heard one again for the first time..
@@buddytheratmore7540that's interesting. do you think they might have migrated? maybe due to pollution or a lack of food
@@buddytheratmore7540 i think you live in kind of the tail end of their breeding range, so they might be seasonal for you
Things really started to go downhill when corporate america realized the infinite money glitch that is nostalgia
Late 1980s. A movie, "The Big Chill", was the start of it in earnest.

no but genuinely the "slang" that gen z says is just as annoying as gen alpha 😭😭 coming from a gen z i cringe soooo hard everytime kids yell "rizz!!!" in the halls its actually so bad
realistically people should have stopped finding it funny like a week later
Why am I actually laughing at “sticking out your gyat for the rizzler?” it’s just so stupid and silly in an innocent way it’s unironically funny. I’m 35….
I'm in my mid 40's and I literally have no idea what I means.
its just funny don't be a hater just because its new
I had to find out what the lyrics meant
What does stick your gyat out for the Rizzler mean?
In this context, "gyatt" is used to mean "ass" only. "Rizz" comes from "charisma". As in charm, seductive ability, or game. "Rizzler" is one who has rizz. "Sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler" means "Sticking out your ass for the one who has romantic charisma."
STICKING OUT YOUR GYATT FOR NERIZZLER
SO BAU BAU
YOU'RE SO BIBOO TAX
I JUST WANNA BE YOUR SHIORI
I just couldn't help myself. For context, this is the full lyrics to a parody of "Sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler." It was made by Koseki Bijou (nicknamed Biboo), an English vtuber (virtual RUclipsr) from the vtuber agency Hololive. For some reason she decided to make this silly parody about herself and her genmates in Hololive Advent
@@belstar1128 how am I being a hater? I said it’s unironically funny.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's a little bewildered of the nostalgia over a bird that STILL exists. I'd understand if it had maybe gone extinct or something, but I hear this little guy singing literally every day by my house, especially as it's warming up now lmao.
I know it's probably the nostalgia for when they were a kid/younger and playing outside all the time, but the people saying they haven't heard one in so long;
1) It was just winter not to long ago for some of us. They were probably migrated somewhere else or hibernating
and/or
2) they don't live in the area where this bird is native.
If you're missing being outside as a kid and enjoying the outdoors, and being able to hear this bird as you do so maybe start going outside more. I go outside every chance I can, walking around big forested national parks. Get out of the city and go into nature for a little.
I'm a birder and actively follow migration patterns and population stats. The mourning dove is DEFINITELY NOT endangered. Just open your windows! Also they don't migrate but they call the most during warm months!
@@gabrielleglinski4400 thanks for the tidbit of knowledge! That's an awesome hobby. I've been hearing them cooing again lately and it's such a nice sound, reminds me of warm summer days
@@leadpencil-223 it's such an amazing sound ❤️ and they're such funny birds!
BTW if you ID a bird by sound, you're already a birder!

As a Bulgarian man this is the most American content I consume online and I love it, keep it up
now i simply must know, what is Bulgarian social media like compared to American?
@@kelsey5093 If you ignore the channels which try to copy Western trends (e.g. I recently saw a group of guys copying The Sidemen), I would say Bulgarian social media is very creative and culturally specific. A lot of the humour can't be translated well in other languages, and sometimes even requires specific knowledge of events and how things generally work within the country.
@@rumenkanchev
No offence but I don’t believe that.
I’d say that there’s probably great Bulgarian content just as you described but that’s probably just the Bulgarian content you interact with.
It’s always the same: if you want a certain music genre in a specific language - you’ll find it, if you want a specific “social media genre” in a specific language - you’ll find it.
Sure there are differences but I’d say they’re not that big nowadays on the internet ^^
Though I’m not Bulgarian so I’ve never seen Bulgarian videos ^^ but I’m not from the us either

Welcome to the generational shift. The people in the middle get caught in the crossfire. Same thing happened for those born '95-'99ish
Im literally barely making it as gen z as a 2009er lmao.
Haha but yeah I don’t feel the same as them as our grade easily slides in with the older ones with the majority not wearing makeup and following gen z trends.

10:53 GenX here....we have always been ignored. Please keep ignoring us. We do not wish to be perceived.
Funniest part is Gen X being ignored completely, they even ignore themselves
Gen X is just spectating.
Gen X is the middle child
the X stands for "crossing" and that's why they blend in. and they have hank green, which is an easy win in every situation
Am gen X can confirm. This shit is all just hilarious
Gen x is becoming the new boomers though and they’re beefing with everyone younger. Millennials are the new Gen x
I honestly feel like gen Z shitting on gen alpha is just young adults with their frontal cortex developed realizing how embarrassing we were as children and projecting onto gen alpha
"I don't know where Gen X fits into all of this." As a member of Gen X, you just explained how we got our name.
They're so overstimulated from TikTok that they don't even hear the call of a Morning Dove around them anymore

Ah, a "gen alpha bad" comment under a video that is about how stupid this generational beef if. The irony...
The weirdest thing I have nostalgia for is an WW2 air raid siren. Genuinely. I lived in the "catchment" area for Broadmoor, which is essentially a psychiatric prison. In the towns surrounding the facility they had these old air raid sirens that would go off if a "patient" escaped, and they would test these sirens every Monday at 10 AM. So every week at school I would hear off in the distance a siren going off, but it was far more noticeable on school holidays because my house was closer than my school. Anyway, they removed these sirens years ago but I'd already left home by then anyway. Point is, when I hear an old war siren, that most people find horribly disturbing, it fills me with nostalgic happy memories
jesus that's dark! nice!
Same here but they turned them into tornado sirens. The first Tuesday of the month they'd test them and you'd look at the clock. If it was exactly 10AM, no need to worry.
wow thats. really dark
Happy memories for me too, it was the first sound I heard when I escaped that place...
@@GilbertBothamyou weren't in one of the older Ohio Valley cities were ya? I remember hearing those near my grandparents' houses in the 80s

I suggest you do a segment on the "Frutiger Aero" aesthetic that's been blowing up as nostalgia by Gen Z Tiktokers.
whenever i see something about how mourning doves are 2000s birds i laugh so hard like y'all are gatekeeping birds now
Climate change gate kept tho time is cruel
As a borderline Gen X/Millennial, I can safely say life is just the measurement of time between one ragebait and another, the internet just made it easier to define who to be mad at today.
1:15 how is this not cringe. I physically recoiled at this attempt at "rap"
I'm surprised to hear people aren't going to malls- every mall near me is always busy and people seem to always be there so I figured that was happening everywhere lol
Pointless generational yapping battle part 100000
I'm here for it
I hate generation discourse because it makes me feel like time is a flat circle but also this video made me wanna live to 100 bc hearing the mourning dove get called the "early 2000s bird" made me laugh harder than anything else. I petition for The Youth to notice a "2010s woah" in pop music next!
Mid 2000s hipster fashion/music was cool again for a second, with the whole “indie sleaze” moment. (Side note: no one ever said indie sleaze while it was happening.)
It’s going to be about 10 seconds before The Lumineers and Edward Sharpe get a second wind and we start getting choruses of woahs.
The ending was so smooth 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 i would've stuttered on all of that slang 😂
I have a Mourning Dove where I live that I've been hearing every morning for years... such a lovely sound to wake up to
Yeah. It is. Didn’t we just complain about the way millennials treat us? How are we this un-self aware. Now it’s our turn since we didn’t learn anything from how millenials made us feel when they treated us like that. What did we do to them when they came after us like that? Yeah. We’re about to get the same shit because we can’t be mature and realize kids are always gonna be kids. It’s deserved imo
This is just a natural cycle in human interactions. Been going on for thousands of years.
@@kylegonewild yep
I mean it's not our fault or wider responsibility, we did our part making commentary and discussing this as a topic. If people want to act like clowns after that, they're going to. The only thing we can do is clown on them back. But it's the way social media is it's always gonna reward those types of people, we just have to accept it doesn't represent any bigger generational thoughts, it's not real life. I hope people aren't out there taking that energy off social media.
The next stage, become gen x and just disappear from the conversation completely.
But she made a good point. I remember being younger and having respect for the older generations. Then we grew up and now it’s the norm for kids to disrespect us. Like either way we’re the ones taking the piss and that fucking sucks.
