What do you think are the beliefs, sayings, mindsets, or whatever of this generation that will make YOUR kids embarrassed or exasperated or say "Oh Mom/Dad!"

I'm of the generation which has kids old enough to talk.
They are exasperated that we use computer mice.
They are angry that the environment is still being destroyed even though grown ups know better.
Not sure what will embarrass them when they're older - at the moment it's our clothes, shoes, music, and slang.
Back in my day we couldn’t walk or bike to the grocery store because the streets were so dangerously designed
Hahahaha, kids.
Hopefully, everything “identity” that has made its way into just about everything.
I’d like to think that future kids might be amused/annoyed by parents still insisting on calling out race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., as the most meaningful aspects of Who Someone Is…or even things they, “should be proud of.”
There's that Shen comic where Shen— a millennial— is trying to tell a zoomer that their house is on fire, but he keeps saying inane stuff like "there's a smoky chonker".
I think that sums up our legacy pretty well.
"The internet is and has been a net positive for the human race."
Not me or my kids specifically, but I think barriers between genders will break down enough that within my lifetime we might hear people wondering why we were all so cool with gender segregated bathrooms for so long. Separate but equal in the 21st century.
For me specifically, probably my thoughts on movies. I think barely any newer movies are very good. Obviously there were plenty of bad movies "back in my day" but it truly feels like the studio executives and producers fundamentally do not give a shit about art. I could do a Ted Talk rant about this, but you guys have shit to do today so I'll keep it light. Indiana Jones. Compare the trilogy to the new entries. Objectively speaking, as stories and character studies, looking at effects and acting and score, analyzing cinematography and lighting, if you were to score each film 1-10, the first 3 are consistently 7+ movies (1 and 3 are 9+) while the nostalgia bait sequels would get 5s at best. They would rather milk existing IPs to prey upon our nostalgia to make a buck for killing the franchise's legacy than take a risk with new IPs. That's why we keep getting Star Wars, super heroes, board game adaptation, toy adaptation, video game adaptation, remake, reboot, and the occasional rushed book adaptation while the book is still hot. They are all about the bottom line, and so long as we keep paying to see shitty movies, they'll keep making shitty movies as it is a beneficial investment strategy. Boycott bad movies. Just wait for reviews.
Growing up r***** was a pretty common phrase, that's definitely something some millenials have had problems removing from their vocabulary.
I also don't think our social comprehension of gender has finished evolving yet. So everyone alive to read this comment will eventually have to revise their understanding and look back on their cringy previous views.
At least 1 of my 300 kids is going to eventually run into some insect smut I commissioned and recognize my username.
