Boomers v Millennials (Sarah's Scribbles - Sarah C. Andersen)

You just had a social media platform named after you

Lemme sum up Gen X

Oh well whatever, nevermind

That's on y'all 😂 in practice the older of you is indistinguishable from Boomers and the younger are basically Oregon Trail Millennials like myself. Analog childhood, digital adulthood.

Or they were omitted because Gen X isn't harassed by boomers most of the time, and us Millennials know that they're chill with us. And personally, I don't care what a bunch of teenagers thinks of me. Or any other generation for that matter. I only care about what the people close to me think of me.

I feel like gen x is split. Some have joined the boomers and become MAGA Karens, some have joined the millennial coalition with gen z.

That’s how we like it.

Was about to say i think they missed a step

I feel like Gen X has never been forgotten. Us Millennials never got an intro like you guys did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i011c5NcPsg

Most of us are okay with that.

As a Xennial I feel this.

Came looking for this, and at least we remember each other!

Millennials think everyone older than them is a boomer. If you try to correct them, they call you a pedant.

Edit: They're also really sensitive to being criticized.

I dont care what any age people think of me really but i still kinda relate to this comic in a way as in i think the kids will be allright.

So many people older then me seem to dunk on genz culture like its all stupid and dumb but there i am Sitting like. “I may not understand all of this and maybe some parts i recognize as unhealthy but there is some real intelligent value and original creativity here” Also all just the openness towards the exploration of identities and mental health awareness. I’ll take a tiktok skit over an anti wife boomer comic every day. I appreciate it, i cant wait to befriend some gen z on my job when they start to get to their late 20s.

Probably some degree of projection here, I'd want to know what the younger generation thinks of me as well.

The mature part would be not to be negatively affected irrespective of what the answer is.

Yeah I don't get this comic. It would've made sense if it said something along the lines of "being poor sucks, huh?"

There's not just projection, but also generalization. There are billions of people in each generation. Most of them have never heard of avocado toast.

Even if we only consider the people in the generation who do know what avocado toast is, there's probably still hundreds of millions of people.

There is no way a group of even 1% of that size has a consistent way to view another group of its size.

Everyone is going to be on the wrong side of history eventually. Might as well make the most of it

So fucked up they never even gave us a proper name. X was a place-holder that ended up sticking. But that happened with xrays too and those are cool

We are the "Jan" generation...

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

I think GenX often gets forgotten because you're born too late to be responsible for anything the boomers did but too early to really get fucked by it like younger generations.

Graduating uni in the GFC sucked and it'll follow many millenials for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, she's a talented artist. I love simple art that looks great. It sometimes blows my mind how much can be expressed with a few lines and simple shading.

Man, Millennials are in their 40s now. WTF you talking about?

Ok boomer.

Yours Respectfully, Gen X

No more tiring than being a millennial and constantly being attacked by Boomers for no reason when you're only 17 years old but already being blamed for everything wrong in society despite not being able to even vote. All throughout the mid 2000's that's all we ever heard from older people. And when we do want real positive change, the older generations just double down on the name calling.

It's like that Mike Rowe idiot, he's literally just an actor so he's never worked any of those "dirty jobs" unless it was for entertainment purposes, but his condemnation for younger people who don't want to do slave labor anymore and have a better life is both hilarious and frustrating.
