Elder millennial here. Personally I view this as the kind of good natured ribbing that comes from a healthy relationship between an older and younger sibling. I think our generation (and Gen X too) have an overall positive view of Gen Z, but you are out of your mind if you think we’re going to pass up an opportunity to give them some shit when it’s warranted!
Rainmanslim’s comment doesn’t strike me as mean-spirited at all. If anything it’s the opposite of condescending because it acknowledges that the cringiness of being a teenager knows no generational bounds. Embrace it and enjoy it, and then enjoy it again when you’re old enough to laugh at your younger self!

Mate, that is a whole lot of projection and assumptions in one post. You do you, but I hope someday you learn that being able laugh at yourself is a strength not a weakness.

Man, if you are in your 40s and still clinging to this idea that you’ve never done anything embarrassing in your life, have never teased a buddy for something stupid they have done, and feel the need to get all self-righteous on me for enjoying friendly banter between strangers then I don’t know what else there is to say here.

There is a reason “learn to laugh at yourself” is a recurring quote from many people.
This is all this is, to learn to laugh at your younger self. No one is saying your feelings or thoughts as a teenager are invalid but perspectives and priorities change when you get older and the things that make you feel and act that way will seem trivial and therefore silly.
There is a reason this is a recurring theme between generations. Sorry but your generation is no different. It is not bullying, it is learning to look back at your younger self and see that the difficulties you were facing were relatively trivial even if they didn’t feel that way at the time.
Also please remember your sentiment the next time you see one of these memes “attacking” millennials. Basically the way you’ve formed your argument here is that this meme in this OP is “bullying” millennials.

last time I checked the youngest gen z are already young adultsThe youngest gen z are Indeed in the cringe phase, but many are already over that
A quick Google search puts the birth year range for Gen Z between 1997 and 2012, so between ages 9 and 24. That’s like peak teenage years. You have some younger than that, some older than that, but the majority are going to be right in the middle. Plus, as much as 20 year olds like to pretend that that aren’t cringey teenagers anymore, that behavior doesn’t just change on your 20th birthday, it’s a process that happens over time. I’d say I still had cringey teenager tendencies until I was at least 22 or 23.
I’d say what the person above you said is perfectly accurate. Gen Zs are pretty much in peak teenage years right now.
Edit: so I think the article Google gave me was 2 years old. Still, it would put Gen Zs between ages 11 and 26. I think the point still mostly stands.
Quick question where did you get a time machine from? I did not know they were already invented in 2021. /s
That’s what I get for copying what I saw on Google instead of doing the math myself. I’ll take the L on this one. 😅
It was probably a two year old article that Google used in their “answer”

If you’d told me I’d miss 2006 back in 2006 I’d have laughed.
Let the kids have their cringe phase
I was so attracted to those type of girls when I was in high school.
Unfortunately, they were never into me :(
I still am, but nobody dresses emo anymore. :(
I was so attracted to those type of girls when I was in high school.
In my early 30s. From what I’ve seen, they’ve kind of changed it a bit and ditched the clothes, but I’ve seen them getting into tattoos a lot more.
As a non-tatted guy, who looks totally different from them, they’re still not into me and I’m still into it hahaha

Seek women of your own age instead of high school girls ;)
Scene*
The term “scene” came towards the tail end of that episode of pop culture.
Same thing.
I don’t care what anyone says I still think this style is cool and I’m 27 years old. Maybe it’s an Enby/Agender thing though, I don’t know.

You’re pathetic for copying my joke.
Thanks for your input. I will retract it
You mean you retract my joke.
Apologies. It is now fixed
I use Plex and also think it’s cool

The only ones I don’t get are the horrible high waisted mom jeans and the curly haircuts on dudes. Those pants look terrible unless you have an absolutely flat stomach and even then, yeesh. The haircuts, I have no idea haha
I’m in Scotland, mullets and bowl cuts are fucking IN right now…it’s mad. Some things should just be dead and buried…
mid 90s to mid 2000s style was the peak I won’t hear otherwise
JNCO parachute pants, a Korn shirt, wallet chains, and ball-chain necklaces were the uniform of that time period. Gen-Z mushroom tops also have nothing on the all around close shave with long front bangs.
I unironically feel that that era had one of the most iconic youth styles in modern history
@TimeSquirrel @siipale @BudgieMania parachute pants need a comeback. They were the most roomy and comfortable jeans ever
The only correct dimensions for pants are the dimensions that allow you to steal a second pair of pants underneath them

Yeah where the fuck do you put all your things in those slime jeans? I got more keys and glasses now shaking hand at cloud
The fuckin cockatiel hair cut from the very front to the back bangs lol. Either they were Goth into industrial or house heads. The spikey hair with bleach tips as well.
Side note: how in the ever loving fuck did the creators of Invader Zim convince the Nickelodeon execs that it was a “kids show” - and not just once, but for two seasons?
Are you talking about the same Nickelodeon that showed Ren and Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life?
It was the other way around it seems. Nickelodeon wanted that shit
Nah nickelodeon had weird shows at the time, Zim was tamer than a few shows, what boggles my mind is that someone in nickelodeon even agreed to TALK to Vasquez given his portfolio, like, some exec in nickelodeon read a bit of JtHM and went “yeah, this guy got something the kids would like”
It’s pretty crazy. Jhonen Vasquez’s most notable work previously was literally a comic about a guy who kidnapped people to murder in his basement, so it’s not like they didn’t know what they were in for.
Invader Zim has an episode where he is concerned that a school health inspection will out him as an alien so he begins systematically hunting down the other children and harvesting their organs to stuff inside his own body until he’s a bloated monstrosity.
Nickelodeon Execs: “This is fine.”
The funny thing is that it might have been on the air even longer if the show wasn’t costing so much money. They were recording voice lines for some characters while the actor was suspended from a sort of crane-mechanism. Weird stuff all around.
I’ve been playing the ratchet and clank pc port and one of the voice actors definitely vocied Zim. It’s so distinguishable.
Richard Horvitz is the man! He also did angry beavers, psychonauts, and alpha 5 on the power rangers
He’s also Moxie in Helluva Boss!
I’m currently playing Jedi Survivor, and there’s a character that was voiced by the same guy.
I have no idea why the millennial vs gen z debate is trending right now but I just love it
It’s just more divisive bullshit purposely turned into bad memes to catch people’s attention. As usual, it puts people in groups and then encourages disagreement between them. It keeps people from looking up. It’s so stupid.
Besides, Boxxxy is just an e-girl. Where are the differences

Millennials are old enough to be crotchety old farts now.
Source: am millennial; am crotchety old fart.
This shit is still cool! I’m not even going to act ashamed! Hell fucking yeah I dressed like that, and It was motherfucking “epic!”
Wear whatever you think is cool zoomers, and stop for NO ONE! The moment you start letting others dictate your coolness is when you stop being young.
Rawr XD
Rawwwrr XD*
I was lazy even in my teenage years lmao
Wait, go back
TO BE FAIR… That was a minority demographic.
What were some of the majority demos wearing though?
Yeah you’re right but like… I think the majority were low rise sort of bell bottoms and tight shirts. This would be like picking on the weebs and then bringing it back 10+ years later.
Give it 5-10 years and this will be fashionable again.
I mean… This looks exactly like the 90s.
Totally. Kids are pretty much wearing 90s punk and grunge clothing. My 9 year old daughter will probably start raiding my wife’s cupboard of old clothes she kept from that era.
My kid is wearing my old band shirts that are worth hundreds of dollars now.
I can’t afford the expensive shit for her, but she’s definitely got bragging rights. A kid made fun of her last year over her “old faded shirt” and she said, “my shirt is worth more than your whole outfit. Google it honey.” Haha
I’m letting her slowly ruin a Nirvana shirt that’s worth about a thousand bucks. It hurts a little (a lot), but when I was a teen I would have killed for original things like that from the Beatles. I only make her retire the sentimental ones when I know they won’t hold up. Like my original SOAD toxicity release shirt that glows in the dark. It was the last thing my best friend bought for me before he was killed in an accident.
I’d wear them until they started showing signs that they wouldn’t last too much longer and then I’d put them away. Now she’s getting the rest of their life.
You’re a good parent, your daughter will remember this years down the road.
I remember my sister raiding my dad’s closet for flannel during the grunge era. He was happy to give them to her but was very confused as to why she wanted them.
I just hope Aquanet doesn’t come back.
The Zim shirt is baller
That is an aesthetic I can get down with, though.
To me these looks are cringe bc they look like the adults when I was a kid /teen (80s,90s) used to look.
Invader Zim was the shit
