XRay Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Are you a Millennial? Here are some positive news about us. We are making divorce rates fall by being smarter about our choices and being more prepared. The next time an old jeezer blames you or Millennials for whatever, remind them who is paying for their Social Security and subsidizing their medical bills! To sever with bad tradition, what positive things do you have to say about Gen Z people? This is not backed up with sources or anything, but I bet Gen Z will be better employees because they will be even more educated and tech savvy. Gen Z are also the cutest generation! Even the youngest Millennials like me are not young enough to be called cute anymore. If you are Gen Z, what positive things do you have to say about yourself? What do you want your generation name to be called? Based on the New York Times article, I vote for "Girl Power!" The young girl's response was too cute. "Scapegoat" is also petty funny since you guys might be the next punching bag for old people; but do not worry, your Millennial onii-chans and onee-chans (or maybe mamas and papas for some of us) will protect you!

I want our generation to be known as the Second Coming of the Greatest Generation that reversed global warming and hopefully do some other great things for mankind.

Slumber Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Uh. I guess Gen Z will probably be the most universally tech-savvy generation. That's a positive, right? Millennials have some patchy spots on the older end. Gen Z, meanwhile, grew up in an era where everything was a computer and everything was connected in some fashion. Also, I'll second the term "millennial" being dumb. Most people hear it and don't think "coming of age around the new millennium", they hear "Those damn kids born in the new millennium" even though older millennials were reaching adulthood around 2000. I've had to explain to so many people in my age range(Mid-20s to early-30s) that they're millennials. I've had to explain it to people pushing 40, though it's a bit easier to see why they wouldn't associate with that label. So any Gen Z-ers out there, before your generation gets a title, make it obvious what time period your generation is actually defining.

Innocentmask Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I am somwhere at 2000s. I pretty much really don't know the classic 80s or 90s stuff that was good back then. I fall into the gen z category but i am not like the current generation being all text this, hashtag this, selfie that etc. 2000s people are alright i guess? But the 2010s generation is like bad... I could rant about this but this may turn into a wall of text that would've been better as its own thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is purely anecdotal, but a surprisingly large number of my students (almost all of which are college freshmen) are lacking in the way of computer literacy skills to do some basic things like manage their documents. I figure most of them are only ever using their computers for school, and use their phones for all of their social media. 1 hour ago, 1% Critical Hit said: What about people who were born between the two kinds?

I think I'm z though It's possible that you can be just a mix of those two. Like being a middle ground generational.

Since my parents and grandparent remember 9/11 that means they are Millennials too. Ha! That means they are just as lazy and entitled as I am.

Integrity Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 i was at the base exchange on ramstein, one of the baggers was like 'i hear nyc just got attacked' and we were like 'what? naaaah' and we walked off base as usual and right as we're walking off the whole base goes into total lockdown, then we saw it on tv about a half hour later when we got home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
