If any GenZ want to know why I do uncool things even though you've attempted to educate me: it's because doing so makes you physically cringe like an ice cube down the spine and it's funny.
As a millennial I'ma have to just come out and say it:
The way we're all pilling on gen-z and saying they're all dumb for this... It's giving Boomer. Not a good look.
Even assuming this was really posted by a gen-z, we can still do our own thing while they make whatever the new cool thing is. We don't have to try to be cool forever. We're old now, folks, it's ok
The ignorance of op. They don't find reaction gifs cringe because they are inherently cringe, it's because you and people your age use them. Stop with the reaction gifs and something else you do will be singled out.
why do you give a shit what gen z thinks? young people think calling everything cringe is a replacement for a personality. the best part of getting older is not giving a fuck. why are you doing this to yourself
(this isn't anything against gen z i only named them because of the original tweet, I'm speaking in general)
I understand using generations as an aid to statisticians dividing populations but using generations to generalise behaviour is weaponising age in a way that shouldn’t happen (as a test swap out a generation comment for a body type or your homophobic slang of choice)
Wait…what’s going on with ankle socks? Like the shorter socks you wear with sneakers and shorts when you go running? There is now something wrong with that?
I never got on board with reaction GIFs (or GIFs in general). The nerdy side of me says “what a terrible format” and the Millenial, dial-up me would rather use text.
Caring what people find cringe is cringe. My response to my daughter when she says something I do is cringe I either say,"and" or double down. Don't let others dictate your little joys.
Gen Z is wrong about skinny jeans. They’ll come to the conclusion that wide legs are more of a hinderance in their own time. Let them learn from their own mistakes, like we had to in the 90s.
Gen Z's baggy jeans are cringe, it is like they learned nothing from the failures of 90s kids. I won't be taking fashion advice from beings with such garbage taste.
