late millennials are similar to gen z, but act like baby boomers, lol. Like they are already old and depressed.
Millennial: It’s really a shame that you’ll never get to see [insert early 2000’s show]
Gen Z: Oh, but we di-
Millennial: It was such a good show. We should watch it.
Gen Z: Yeah… but I saw it when it came out
Millennial:
Gen Z:
I think the main difference between millennials and gen z is that we both went through the same awful things, all the same bullshit, but where as it left us depressed and disillusioned, it left them depressed, disillusioned and PISSED OFF.
Millenials: College is more expensive than it’s ever been but I still have to go and put myself in debt for the tiniest chance that it might make someone consider hiring me, I will never be able to afford a house, there’s a goddamn shootout every other day, the world is a nightmare and I wanna die.
Gen Z(Pointing directly at the old rich white fucks who made all this happen): College is incredibly fucking expensive but we still have to put ourselves in debt and do it, I’ll never be able to afford a house, there’s a GODDAMN SHOOTOUT EVERY OTHER DAY, the world is a nightmare and I wanna die and YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ARE GOING DOWN WITH ME.
Millenials: A lot of articles about how the environment’s a mess like to start with how we’re ‘destroying the world’ and framing it as personal responsibility. Like, ‘You! The environment’s in shambles and it’s YOUR FAULT! Yes you! You reading this! You did this! You did this by not biking enough!’ which is horseshit because we do not all have an equal environmental impact. We all have SOME impact, and you can take steps to try and minimize your own, but pretending that one single person’s impact is the same as a company’s or a billionaire who spent decades making his money off oil and fought the introduction of clean energy every step of the way is bullshit. Yes, the world is in shambles, but that’s not solely on us and we alone can’t stop it if they don’t change too. And they won’t.
Gen Z(Putting on their Ass Kicking Boots): Fortunately for us, those billionaires and company execs have names and addresses. :)
not to sound like a boomer but having internet access at a young age fucked a lot of us over and continues to fuck over younger kids even more
I’m diseased of adults
Assuming the worst from me
When it is just me
Then they give me a hard time
For nothing
I’m diseased of being a millennial
And adults assuming
That I’m lazy
And addicted to my phone
When it’s just me who just so happens to be different
I’m tired of feeling
Like I’m worthless
And no one will ever
Truly
Fall in love with just me and I them
I’m diseased
Of teachers
Thinking they are better
Because of a degree
At the moment I’m just 1,000 degrees of rage
I don’t want to go to school
I don’t want this factory process
Of being separated
Embarrassed
And torn apart
I’m diseased of being a product
And not a person
The only thing I’ve learned from school
Is that if you don’t want to be bent around
Then keep your mouth shut
I’m diseased with adults
Smoldering my fire
My passion
My,
Will to live and carry on…
What’s the point of living if I can’t be myself?
I'll be homeless and unhappy
And destructive
You'll continue to be sappy
You'll continue living your life complaining about everything
While I’ll keep my mouth shut because according to you, my problems don’t matter
Baby boomers being controlling yet again
Thinking I owe you when you made me into this bitter, broke, batter
I'm a millennial who lost hope
I'm seen as spoiled and lazy because I see that there’s no use
All I ask is that you don’t take the last thing I have to my ugly name
You get away with it and I'm so tired of the emotional abuse
I need to get old quick
So that I can take control of my life, my world, my planet, my states
I want to take care of this planet and make life better for future generations
You only cared about you; you’re going to go through Hell’s gates
I'm not going to have kids
Well at least not when you’re alive
You are more offensive than a confederate flag or a swastika
If you set eyes upon your gorgeous grandchildren they could break out in hives
I don’t want my offspring to have to see this society you’ve created
A world of tests and pressure
Setting us up against our own generation, giving us trust issues
I can’t wait for you to become extinct for a refresher
You won’t be able to barge in
Testing us to see just how much we can endure before we break at the bones
And when we break, you leave us alone to suffer with the deformities
When you hear our groans,
You convince yourself that we don’t have any problems that are worse,
Than yours
The millennial generation work themselves into insanity
While you insult us, pampered, careless, narcissistic, your words contaminate our pours
We are forced to wear those insults
We wear them like expensive designer clothes,
Because we don’t have any money
Baby boomers look for special millennials to overexpose
You're so close, yet so far apart;
That bridge is the horizon of where ends meet and freedom starts,
Evenings eclipse in paper prints and coffee stains,
Rummaged bones and tiredness, crumbs of hardwork remain.
Headphones on, travelling long,
Rattling compartments - their church sermons.
Curated photos and thumb talks;
What could possibly go wrong?
Love materialises for fifteen minutes,
With renaissance sighs, for swollen lips.
Tokens of promises billed under "Laters, darling",
Lingering aftertaste of rubber burning.
Neon lights and clichéd fantasies -
Honestly, they're just trying to get on with it.
Youthful thought, is this what marks the young heart?
You're so close, yet so far apart.
