My mother is a Gen X and not only has she thoroughly broken the cycle of abuse, she also loves Gen Z and Gen Alpha. She is very proud of us for having the courage to say what her generation couldn’t.
@@HarryDirtayyeah and so did Gen Z. We also went outside growing up and barely were on any devices whatsoever. We grew up with some of the same stuff that millennials grew up with. Also shaming people for having diagnosed anxiety disorders, isn’t the flex you think it is. At least we value mental health. 😭
The fact that they're so proud that adults back then needed to have a commercial play at like 10pm asking parents if they knew where their children were 😭
@@sadbutrad111x Some American PSAs could be scary, but pretty damn effective. I guess that was the point. I'm too young to remember the 'do you know where your children are?' ones, though. I was born in 2000 and didn't grow up being allowed to go out after dark, even in the 2000s-2010s, a time when most parents I knew were not letting their children roam out and about in the neighborhood at that time, either.
@@itscris01 so many kids went missing around that time because the parents thought that little jimmy being out and about on his own at 10 pm was perfectly reasonable
I’ve been seeing something similar during the 2010’s before the local new on one of the channels in my area. I don’t know if they still do it though since I almost never watch it anyhow.
"we were abused as kids and were put in unsafe situations incredibly often, we ate lead paint and water that wasn't from the tap, we were taught to use things that were the normal technology for the time and because we can do it and you can't, we're better than you. we're the best because we had neglectful parents who would leave you at the store accidentally, we were exposed to second hand smoke at literally every space there were people, we are the best because our schools back in the day had smoking rooms for students"
Its true about GenX, but much like most generations, the loonies coming out on social media aren't actually representative of GenX. That's why they're the loonies on social media lol
🤣🤣🤣 the commercial broadcast every night during my childhood: "It's 10PM, do you know where your kids are?" was for us. Our parents did not know where we were
And they didn't really want to know. They thought kids were cats and tried to raise them as outdoor pets that only show up to eat and sleep once in a while. Like??? Clearly they didn't actually want kids at all, they never wanted to see or hear them 🥲
I came here to comment that😂 I was a 00 baby so I still saw those commercials for a brief period. But the fact folks had to be reminded they had children out in the world will always be crazy to me😂
You know Boomers were terrible parents when a broadcast had to remind them to keep track of their kids, I never heard of any other generation that needed that.
I am so glad that not a single one of the Gen X I know use disney cartoon princess filters or anything like that. Then again, maybe I just am really selective about my friends. My mom's used it though.
Xennial here, 1979. Can confirm that the beatings and neglect were a prominent part of our youth. Boomer parents were brutal, and it sucked. My kiddo is a completely un-beaten, well cared for Gen Z enby. It doesn't make me any better to have gone through that kind of childhood, but it made me want to give better to my own offspring. I adore your generation. Y'all give me hope.
'78 and saaaame. The only comment about my kids appearance I tried to make was that they were lovely but if something needed a tidy, I asked why it wasn't vs criticizing them. Sometimes, they were just too tired or feeling distressed about something else to be spic n span, y'know?
We don't need the element of surprise to defeat Gen Z (our kids) on the battlefield, we can win the war without firing a single shot, by merely uttering 5 words *there are only two genders*
I know that sucks... It reminds me of Millennials ruined "X,Y,Z ".... We (gen Y) just living life, but noooo.... we were/are ruining everything just by existing... 🙃 then you literally have Boomers saying " dang Millennials are just good for nothing..." Gen Y "thanks mom and dad, love you too... 😐🙃"

A friend of mine is a former Gen X punk. He brings his son to d&d, hates the NSA, and has adhd so he's constantly creating chaos characters. He's like Gandalf if he listened to The Ramones He hates the generational discourse. Especially Gen X "You ever seen Fight Club? You wanna know the biggest problem we had to face as adults? WE WERE BORED!" God i love him
He us so real for saying that though, because the vibe before 9/11 was wildly different. We thought we were living in **uninteresting times** and wished for something to care about, something we could actually do. Then things got so much worse and it was like??? No! We wanted to make things better, not watch them get so much worse we're fighting to bring it back to the former status quo! We made so many steps forward, we just couldn't believe it was possible to start taking steps back. We thought we were past all this. But Gen X and Boomers just wanna prove they can exercise their power, for good or (mostly) evil. Gen X, "the Deadhead generation" said "Don't bother fighting, nothing's ever gonna change" then grew up and made sure of it.
I hope Gen X does rise, and book therapy appointments. They seem like a generation that’s suffered in silence for so long and are just now coming to terms with how awful their childhoods really were. I hope for the best for them.
As a gen X’er you are spot on with that assessment! We are just realizing how effed up life was and how it has impacted us and so many of us are deconstructing it. We’re trying to break the cycle. ❤
They may have had messed up childhoods but their adult lives were a cakewalk compared to what millennials and beyond are dealing with. My dad worked part time minimum wage at Denny’s in Texas while living with his sister, and her gf, who both also worked part time at Denny’s making minimum wage. The three of them made enough working a combined 72-90 hrs a week to pay rent, buy cars, pay bills, eat out often, attended a plethora of concerts, and did a metric fuckton of cocaine AND STILL HAD ENOUGH TO SAVE MONEY. They had spending power we can only fathom. They did have horrible childhoods but they could runaway and make enough money to buy a small home without a high school diploma. That’s exactly what both of my parents did LOL

If it makes you feel better, most Gen Y is on your side(gen Z). We (gen Y) were and are talked down to by our parents(Boomers) and gen X as a generation...it's so annoying... Just stop this whole generation divide.

@@scarlettg.5772thank you! You’re the reason why I have a lot of respect for most millennials/gen y/ older generations. Though some do make me feel like sh!t for just being Gen z, some are actually very supportive and accepting. Which is why I respect them much more.
same, my mom is gen x and says ts all the time, lmao. i’m like… okay? good for you?? i feel like you should be talking about this with a therapist and not your 17 y/o but go off, queen.
I think you meant "drinking from the water hose ". We weren't allowed to drink water inside the house. We weren't allowed inside the house. We bathed in sprinklers and grazed the lawn for supper like cattle. We roamed in small feral packs tripping old ladies and setting fire to ant hills, and sleeping in the crooks of trees, our dirty bare feet dangling.... Then we went home for taco night and sat through our dads watching "60 Minutes". So, like, you know.
i’m a genZ young adult with genX parents, a millennial brother, a zillennial sister-in-law (if that’s even a thing), and a niece and nephew that were born near the beginning and at the end of gen alpha years. it’s a goddamn nightmare in our home.
Yes "Zillenials" are a thing and we're a weird mostly forgotten sub-class lol. An odd ghostlike cross-section that played gamecube, had a brief time using cellphones with keyboards and new Joe Rogan from Fear Factor. Old enough to know Brittany Spears, young enough to catch skibidi toilet

@@isabellacarter2863 Ah yes, being abused and neglected nearly past the point of no return definitely makes one stronger, and doesn't end up perpetuating literal crimes against children for generations to come
On behalf of the quiet Gen Xers in all this, we don’t known what their problem even is. Rising for what? They clearly didn’t rage against the machine, become overtaken with teen spirit, or consider 18 and Life. Some were just posers who tried way too hard to fit in. I have risen to get coffee and channel flip like a true middle aged Gen Xer and will be supplying my Gen Z kids with snacks while they roast the posers.
Same, my Z kids told me about this and I had a good laugh with them about it. Although we're different generations due to the environment and conditions of the times, the differences should be celebrated and appreciated. Plus the obvious, why would I hate my own kids?
@@pvtnum11I think a majority of them hate their kids because of the refusal to break the cycle of abuse they went through with their parents. Their parents had them because it was expected of them, probably as soon as they were 18 and married, and instead of learning how to raise a child, they’d beat them silly, and verbally abuse them. But that’s only if they weren’t too busy neglecting them. They were taught that children weren’t allowed to have feelings, if they did, you simply beat it out of them, or until they hide them where they can’t inconvenience you. Though, that’s probably giving a few of the selfish people who refused any introspection beyond the stereotypical bully persona, an excuse, but that’s ultimately the minority.
Gen z here. When everyone started talking about gen z trying to cancel someone i was like "wait, we are???? How behind am i???" Luckily there are more gen z's who feel this way. Thought i was alone for a second haha.
it’s even funnier because gen X are the parents of gen Z. they’re complaining about their own kids’ generation as if they’re not the ones who raised them
@@sunshine-dz6xj I can see that gen x see their gen z kid abusing they gen alpha grandkids, and ask “why are you hitting my grandchild!?”, and the their kids said, “you did the same thing to me when I was child, so why now it different!?”.
Do keep in mind that they arent always complaining about their own kids though. Some of them got a fucked childhood and did a complete 180 for their kids to the point where it was permissive parenting which in itself is neglectful and therefore abusive, just in the other direction imo. You dont learn life skills very well from never being challenged and helicopter parented. You dont learn social emotional regulation if your parents are acting like they checked out of parenting and are acting like your friends from down the block. Literacy rate issues are just due to phonics being punted out thw window and stupid teaching trends that resurfaced. Shitty trends cycle back in every few decades because theyre peddled by grifters in books and conferences to make a buck. Throwing out phonics was devastating and most schools now do it side by side with sight reading which they tend to fall back on when any student is being grade level so they can cheat the kid into being the right grade level. Has the same energy as memorizing 2+2=4 not realizing what the numbers and signs actually represent. I was a teacher. Shit is a mess. Some of the X-ers are to blame. Im a millenial-zoomer. Parents are X-ers. As the eldest, I got the idk what the fuck parenting is childhood mostly. They were making it up as they went along and had their own issues probably due to fucked up childhood themselves. I turned out ok, god bless being strongly independent.
Right?? We're not better for having survived it. It's like they think it's a badge of coolness or something. Breaking the cycle of abuse is cool, though.
Same but I'm gen Y, my sister is too but is with a gen X man. He goes on and on how gen Y sucks as a whole... he says Y and Z are weak and goes on how much tougher he had it and it's why his generation isn't weak like mine or the younger gen... Why my sister puts up with that Idk...
Yep. Gen X here. I knew my mother didn’t act like most moms when I was 8 years old… large part of why I don’t share those ridiculous sentiments. I am surprised at how common this apparently is though!
Yes! I think it's weird too. I'm _still_ trying to get past all the bs my parents put me through, but they seem to think I should thank them for "making me tough." 😳 At least my kids were treated the way I wish I'd been treated. That's something to be proud of, IMO.
"Ha! You hear that Gen Z! Gen x is strong cause we were severely abused and neglected in our childhood that we now feel the need to fight kids to assure ourselves we aren't the same weak little kids that our parents beat up!"
Yeah, this is fairly accurate for that particular subset of Gen Xers. Unfortunately, they are also the loudest subset . I am also Gen X, but I take out my aggression fighting badly-behaved boomers (including the Gen X Boomer clones) and defending the younger generations from the near constant shade that people seem to throw at them. Most Gen Xers like me would never put our faces on social media, as it hampers our ability to work from the shadows. Seriously, we are a little feral because of the abuse and the neglect- but that’s from the trauma. It’s nothing to brag about. I swear, the next person I hear waxing nostalgic about drinking from the freaking water hose (because they weren’t allowed inside their house in sweltering heat ) is going to get a water hose enema. Abuse isn’t funny, and no- it doesn’t build character. Clearly. Keep breaking the cycles.
Imagine being proud of your parents not knowing how to parent and just let you run the streets like wild cats. They normalized teen pregnancy, and dropout of high school and living on government financial assistant programs.
Dude, I love your videos. I'm gen X and I watch them with my gen Z kid and we think you're great. There is no war here, just a whole lot of young people seeking to establish their place in the world (as did all generations before them), a handful of angry old farts desperate for one last good fight, a garage-full of sarcastic, facetious, middle-aged weirdos who just get a kick out of chaos, and a block party-full of people who have no idea why this is even a thing. Keep doing your thing, because I think you're nifty.
Gen X here (54) . mom to two Gen Z (20 and 24). I am tired of my kid's friends telling them their parents are OLD! LOL I love watching your videos. I learn a lot. I was raised by classic baby boomers. One of my sons is bi and I didn't even know that was a thing until about 5 years ago. I was brought up you are gay or straight. No fluidity. I get it now. My other son came out as straight (as a joke). I love them both fiercely.
Baby gen x here (1979) and I agree!! I love @funkyfrogbait and I super duper love gen z too!! I have a gen z and gen alpha kid and these kiddos are smart and empathetic. There will be no stopping them ❤
At this point Gen X is definitely not silent. We creak and crunch as we walk. We say owww when we get up. CPAPS are the newest accessory. We now all yell at the TV. 😂
"We Drank out of water hoses" I literally heard this no less than 12 times when my Gen X Mom came to visit last week and I told her that central florida water is legit that dangerous. The water straight up has stained my tub pink theres so much in there-
I shudder to think of all the lead and other junk I probably ingested as a child when drinking out of garden hoses. Glad I was usually too grossed out by the tepid or warm temperature of the water to drink much of it.
That pink stain is a very common type of bacteria that flourishes in stagnant water. You’ll usually see it around the waterline of your tub or toilet. It’s not like, a _huge_ deal, but it’s also not exactly beneficial to have around. Advice: clean and scour your tub more often. Edit: the bacteria’s scientific name is _Serratia marcescens_
Im a millennial and when I was in elementary school my teachers would constantly tell us about the physical abuse they had to endure at the hands of their teachers and how upset they were that they did not get to do it to us because just that year a law protecting children from abuse had passed in my country. I don't know if these gen X parents of gen Z realise how scary it is to listen to your care taker list the ways they wish they could abuse you like they were abused.
I can confirm that Gen X kids were abused by staff in school (physical & sexual abuse) but nobody who wants to beat a child should ever be a school staff member--ever. Or a parent.
NOOO, fellow Millennial here and I REMMEBER this kind of shit!! I remember "THE PADDLE" (an oar-looking wooden spanking device the size of us children entirely) being hung in classrooms and that at one time it was moved to ONLY being in the Principal's office and it was threatened at everyone early in the school year. I never broke rules or misbahavied so I didn't have to worry about it but I was still scared shtless at the prospect. It didn't help that when I went home and played around in my own yard I would see my Great Grandma's Gazeebo decor and she had one of these huge school paddle's on display. It used to make me so uncomfortable. lol The older teachers were the worst about being upset they couldn't spank you anymore. Like dang.
@@AlottaBoulchit that sound terrifying I'm so sorry you had to endure similar things 😢 so true the older the teacher the worst their story and their regret and weird desire to repeat their trauma
I, a millennial, went to Catholic school and the priest that did my first confession taught my father (back when priests and nuns were the teachers), who remembers him tossing a high school student across the room and slamming him to the ground. I feel like my father was almost proud??? He had lots of stories of the priests and nuns using physical violence against students but that was the craziest. Definitely doubly weird when the physical abuse is coming from an apparently pious person although it’s not shocking since the church holds a lot of double standards and covers for abuse😒
Yes we were all feral and forgotten! We’re all f’ing traumatized, and most of the shit we do are trauma responses! Ok?! So thanks for bringing it up! Are you happy now?! 😭😭😭😭😭 Lol. I love your channel. 🤣
I'm GenX and am in therapy and EMDR for my mom's insano levels of neglect finally hitting me like a freight train in my 50's. WINNING! The 70's and 80's honestly were a blast from a kid's perspective, but I and many others paid a hefty price for pain masked with toughness that we shouldn't have had to develop. More on the topic at hand, this shit they're doing online gives me second hand embarrassment the likes I've never experienced. It started out as fun, reminiscing, and jogging memory holes. Then of course people had to make it weird.
Congratulations on getting help. You deserve it! I never felt old until I saw ppl my own age (late 30's, elder millennial) acting like old cringey ppl online 😬
Gen X parents will really be like "I was abused and didn't complain about it and now you want me to *not* abuse you???" and it's like oh boy oh wow we need to have several conversations and there should probably be a medical professional present for most of them
My mum doesn't even realize that what she (and her brothers) went through was abuse. We'll be in the middle of a conversation and she'll offhandedly say something like, "my generation didn't know as much about disabilities and mental health as they do nowadays, so if your kid was having a problem with that sort of stuff, parents didn't take them to the doctor. That's a fairly modern concept." And I'll be sitting there with a horrified look on my face, because her brother was (and still is) extremely disabled - he is completely non-verbal and needs 24-hour care. The fact that her mother never took him to the doctor had nothing to do with the 1980's attitude towards disabilities! Her mother was just a neglectful b*tch who was ashamed to have a disabled son so she pulled him out of school when they started to question why she hadn't set him up with a school carer or enrolled him in the special school (which was a part of the same school), hid him from society, and abused him at every chance she got because she was a miserable twisted old woman. And yet my mum refuses to believe it was abuse...she thinks that was just normal 80s shit! 😢
There is something to be said about how “stranger danger” made a generation of helicopter parents. 10-12yo kids can’t even play at the park these days without getting weird looks for being unsupervised. At the same time…yeah, my grandparents needed to be reminded they had children every night at 10pm. I don’t think any of us had a good time.
@Jack-px8lf the fundamental flaw with stranger danger is that strangers aren’t the most dangerous party. Parents are the perpetrators in over 90% of kidnappings, usually to hide the kid from the other parent. When you look at most crimes, you’re far more likely to be hurt by someone you know (family or close friend) than a stranger. Teaching children to avoid seeking outside help doesn’t protect children, it protects the people hurting children.
@@emmettrose5960 exactly my thoughts on stranger danger. there's a few bad seeds or serial k*llers out there. a majority of crimes done to kids are by people they know , recognize, or trust.
@@emmettrose5960Yeah, but people don't want to confront that the people they feel like they're supposed to be able to trust would do such a thing. So they keep ignoring that and blaming strangers. That's when they're not blaming the victims for bringing it up. They don't want to deal with the family/friend drama or fallout, they don't want to take on the struggles of fighting that abuse and they don't want to admit they trusted the wrong people. So they blame the child and tell them they're horrible little liars, or gaslighting them about it saying it never happened or that they interpreted things wrong.

Gen X here. For whatever reason, there's like this baiting going on w Gen X somewhere & a lot of it is provoking some super cringe stuff. This "our time to rise" thing, I'm pretty sure was triggered by the far right. Out of nowhere, my YT has been covered w Gen X "time to rise" stuff & far right recommended videos. I guess now that we're almost on par for size w Boomers, we matter at voting time now? It's weird and gross though. Kind of mad at YT about it, too, as I'm a Gen X mom with LGTBQ+ kids.
While I am sorry for your feelings on this matter since I can also relate as a millennial being told I’m responsible for a lot and also getting closer to being the generation in charge but… if the year in your name is accurate to when you were born I can’t hide the amusement in thinking you aren’t Gen X and are instead in fact a baby boomer because Gen X years start at 1965 and end at 1980. I am sorry if I come off sounding bitchy when I don’t mean to, I’m just so heavily amused by that I can’t help it. I still can really relate to things you say though, and I hate that people can act like just because it seems like the majority of something does something that means everything is the same when this is not true. It makes me happy to read you’re a parent who supports their LGBTQ+ kids since a lot don’t. So thank you for that, you make me see that not everyone in your generation is programmed to hate us younger generations. You show me that good and positive things DO still exist there, and the media just loves to try to tell us it doesn’t. 💜
It's the brain damage from the lead fumes. Not even joking, lead in gasoline and paint probably was a big part in making these conspiracy crazies we deal with today
My favorite thing about the cursive insult is that gen Xers were the ones who were supposed to teach us all that 😭 so if WE don’t know cursive, it’s cause THEY failed to actually teach us any of it
EXACTLY- Finally, someone actually understands lmao. Like I’m not kidding, for our grade, they would constantly delay teaching us cursive because, “oh, the next grade will teach you”, and we all ended up never learning cursive lmao. Like, maybe you should blame the incompetence of certain adults for NOT teaching things instead of blaming a whole generation for not knowing something THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TAUGHT- But like, ok, go off sis on how Gen Z are apparently incompetent for some reason…. 🙄😒
I think teachers get in trouble for teaching things not on the approved curriculum. I was born in '73 and we learned cursive in 3rd grade. It is a long process. We had a separate report card grade just for Handwriting.
i am too. best shit, especially during late spring when i redug my backyard hole and filled it up with water (i legitimately did this every spring and summer for many years and only stopped when i had to move 💀)
@@genericname2747You can still do that, but ppl would rather have arguments online, post on social media, stay inside, etc. I have CZcams, that's it. Otherwise I live in reality, not online. Kids in my neighborhood don't even leave their homes. It's very bizarre to see.
The worst part is that no matter what generation. They think that their decade was both "way harder" and "way better" than the next. To tell you the truth, making the future better for the next generation should be a bigger priority than just bashing them for having different types of things that they like or do.
i really don't get why they think being abused as kids is a flex 😭 like no, marianne, you getting beat as a child did not make you stronger... it made you constantly on-guard and emotionally fragile
Late boomer/gen X parents are either flexing about their neglect and abuse-filled childhoods or randomly lore-dropping info about the most traumatic experiences in their lives and then saying something like "Yeah, it was kind of a bummer :/ Anyway, what kind of dressing do you want on your salad?"
@@theoriginalkrabbypatty and i don't care to. you're really out here beefing with a bunch of young adults because... why? because your generation failed to parent us in a way that was conducive to us thriving and succeeding in adulthood?

You are mostly referring to Boomers and a subset of Gen Jones. The more conservative members of Gen X are also fitting your description, I suppose, but the ones who fought for your rights through the AIDS crisis and watched their friends die usually aren't advocating for such things.
Those are the most annoying. Because you know they've never actually been in a fight unless it was with a teenager telling them they needed to leave the McDonald's. Just bullies.

god the "we can write in cursive!!" point is so wild because i can REMEMBER it being a huge discussion where i live if cursive should still be taught or not when i was in middle school and had already learnt it in primary school
no actually my mom's response to my dad's abuse that left me with bruises one day when he lost his shit at me (as an adult in my 20s) was "everyones dad hits them you're too sensitive", and she loves the pixar filter idk wtf this pipeline is
And they pretend that most of them didn't also beat us. 😂 You know these same people applauded every time their peers beat up their gen z children back in the day.
My GenX dad posts some cringey-ass overly sexual pick-up lines on Twitter. I've seen other single Gen X men do the same. The ones who are married are super conservative for some reason? And there's the GenX women, who are the ones using the filters, and they think they're the most important and beautiful women in the whole world. Definitely not because of the filters, though. They have "natural beauty" and "don't rely on technology and social media" 🙄
As a millennial, i'm fascinated with this whole ordeal. It seems like Gen-x got on tiktok and saw normal Gen-z doing their thing & much like Michael Jordan, they took that personal.
STOOOP. I just showed this to my Gen X mom, who usually watches these videos with me, and she started doing the speech. "Oh, she thinks she's funny, does she? It's a shame. I used to like her".

@@asloii_1749yes lol... im 1980 cusp, boomer parents, genx friends & partner, and 6 nieces ranging from 4 to 31 so like millennial, genz, alpha & whatever the hell comes next.

Also every gen has "karens", just because they are the loudest doesnt mean they rep for the rest of us. GenZ influencers stirring this shit up will be the cringy karens to the next few generations
The house I currently live in is so chaotic with the generations. I am Gen Z, my sister is a millienial, my mom is gen x and my dad is a baby boomer. I think the only one that doesnt perpetuate the stereotype is my mother.
Great job. I can validate these are 100% accurate as confirmed by a gen x'er i watched this with. She responded to the "our parents veat us all the time" with "my mother tried to run me over with her car once".👏👏👏👏👏
@@KittyO7878 true but it is a gen x mentality to let genuine abuse slide because “that’s just how it was back then” or “people today are too sensitive”
@@KittyO7878 well, that's just it, a lot of the boomer parents were abusive. My own mom threatened to lie to the authorities that I had participated in beating up my little brother on the school bus if I didn't stop calling the police on the person who had SA'd me whenever he beat me up.
When my kid (Millennial) was in school, they wouldn't teach printing only cursive in kindergarten. How are they supposed to fill in a scantron test if they can't print?
Not only do certain members of Gen X not “move in silence,” but they never shut the fuck up about being Gen X, and have made it there entire goddamn personality. Thank you for this cruel, but absolutely necessary exposé.
I am later Gen-X, and every time I see an about Gen X by a Gen-X , I know it’s going to make me cringe. I don’t see them talking about understanding the struggles of the younger generation, I don’t see them defending the younger generation, I don’t see them talking about how messed up it was when we were young and how they are trying to do things better - I just see them projecting their weird nostalgia like it’s a competition or something. The whole thing is weird.
It’s so funny when they are like “We Know how to write in cursive and we drank out of the water hose” cuz like yeah I’m Genz and I also know how to write in cursive it was taught to me in school and I also drank out of the water hose💀
@@thetraveler9229 Seriously! My school only taught us cursive for maybe a week before not bringing it up ever again. I guess the thought was that since technology was becoming so big, we wouldn't need cursive anymore. They brought it back the next year, so I guess we were the guinea pig class🫠
I blame stupid facebook posts for the whole cursive thing. Literally saw those roll through & even though I observed that that wasn't factually a thing, way too many of my friends bought into it. It was so dumb.
Retirement? With what money?😂😂😂 I'm not rising for anything, I'm exhausted. Besides, you guys are the up-and-coming. It's supposed to be your world now. I've always thought gen Z was our last best hope, tbh.
Bro I got one with “kids bring their iced frappe with whipped cream to school. We brought vodka in our water bottles” like sorry the younger generation doesn’t drink at school???
If it's not overuse of filters, it's literal war paint in the shape of an X 😭 I'm a gen Z and had no idea what was happening, it's one of my friend who told me "yeah, Eminem just did cringe lyrics where he shallowly insulted a bunch of minorities and then said that gen Z was going to cancel him. That's it". It's hilarious how we're called the "snowflakes" generation, but then gen X create a hypothetical scenario and then get so mad about it that they declare a war to the generation of their literal children
Oh that's what happened? I kept hearing we were canceling Eminem from genx and millennials but had no idea what happened Thats so dumb Very on brand tho ironically
Gen Y here, I didn't know anything about this till today I seen a short of a CZcamsr that does goofy posts about all the generations. It's crazy that this is what it's all about... people have too much time on their hands if that's what causes them to go crazy...😅
Leaded gasoline wasn't federally banned until 1996. I'm praying that my fellow millennials will be more self-aware as we succumb to residual lead poisoning and nanoplastics. I have faith in Gen Z, they really seem like good kids.
It's because of the weird differences in Gen X, some were raised really backwards and some were raised foward looking. Like there are people my age who never even saw a computer until their 20s and 30s and then there's people who went to schools like mine and were taught to code in 4th grade.
being a millennial is fun because your boomer parents are very very upset you haven't had kids by 30, but, you don't want to inflict your mental health issues (from your boomer parents) on a partner or children soooo
You're so real for this. Every time I come across these, I'm like "Aunty with all due respect...NO ONE IS TRYING TO CANCEL ANYONE. WE WERE ALL TOO BUSY TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH KDOT AND DRAKE BEEF AND TRACING THE LORE BACK TO 2ND CENTURY BC"
Lol I'm a gen X millennial hybrid. I totally see that different generations have different experiences in the world these days and that it will likely have an impact on what skills you develop and how you do things. But we're still living in the same world. And I'm happy you're here and I'm sorry for the mess so many are making. I don't think it's all gen z's end beyond work. It's all of our jobs to make things better.

The three of them made enough working a combined 72-90 hrs a week to pay rent, buy cars, pay bills, eat out often, attended a plethora of concerts, and did a metric fuckton of cocaine AND STILL HAD ENOUGH TO SAVE MONEY.

On behalf of the quiet Gen Xers in all this, we don’t known what their problem even is. Rising for what? They clearly didn’t rage against the machine, become overtaken with teen spirit, or consider 18 and Life. Some were just posers who tried way too hard to fit in.

Same, my Z kids told me about this and I had a good laugh with them about it. Although we're different generations due to the environment and conditions of the times, the differences should be celebrated and appreciated. Plus the obvious, why would I hate my own kids?
@@pvtnum11I think a majority of them hate their kids because of the refusal to break the cycle of abuse they went through with their parents. Their parents had them because it was expected of them, probably as soon as they were 18 and married, and instead of learning how to raise a child, they’d beat them silly, and verbally abuse them. But that’s only if they weren’t too busy neglecting them. They were taught that children weren’t allowed to have feelings, if they did, you simply beat it out of them, or until they hide them where they can’t inconvenience you.
Though, that’s probably giving a few of the selfish people who refused any introspection beyond the stereotypical bully persona, an excuse, but that’s ultimately the minority.

Do keep in mind that they arent always complaining about their own kids though. Some of them got a fucked childhood and did a complete 180 for their kids to the point where it was permissive parenting which in itself is neglectful and therefore abusive, just in the other direction imo.
You dont learn life skills very well from never being challenged and helicopter parented. You dont learn social emotional regulation if your parents are acting like they checked out of parenting and are acting like your friends from down the block.
Literacy rate issues are just due to phonics being punted out thw window and stupid teaching trends that resurfaced. Shitty trends cycle back in every few decades because theyre peddled by grifters in books and conferences to make a buck. Throwing out phonics was devastating and most schools now do it side by side with sight reading which they tend to fall back on when any student is being grade level so they can cheat the kid into being the right grade level. Has the same energy as memorizing 2+2=4 not realizing what the numbers and signs actually represent.
I was a teacher. Shit is a mess. Some of the X-ers are to blame. Im a millenial-zoomer. Parents are X-ers. As the eldest, I got the idk what the fuck parenting is childhood mostly. They were making it up as they went along and had their own issues probably due to fucked up childhood themselves. I turned out ok, god bless being strongly independent.

Keep doing your thing, because I think you're nifty.
ahh this is amazing 😭
This is a good comment.
Im a baby genXers and I love this channel.. Especially when i watch it with MaryJane at 420pm 💯🇨🇦😎🤫😘🥰
Gen X here (54) . mom to two Gen Z (20 and 24). I am tired of my kid's friends telling them their parents are OLD! LOL
I love watching your videos. I learn a lot. I was raised by classic baby boomers. One of my sons is bi and I didn't even know that was a thing until about 5 years ago. I was brought up you are gay or straight. No fluidity. I get it now. My other son came out as straight (as a joke). I love them both fiercely.
Baby gen x here (1979) and I agree!! I love @funkyfrogbait and I super duper love gen z too!! I have a gen z and gen alpha kid and these kiddos are smart and empathetic. There will be no stopping them ❤
The first term that comes to my mind when I think about gen X is “well adjusted” it definitely isn’t “traumatised and lead poisoned”
"Gen X moves in silence" is crazy honestly. They don't even know how to shut their mouths
💯😂😂
I genuinely didn’t know about all this until I saw people talking about the millennials going crazy
At this point Gen X is definitely not silent. We creak and crunch as we walk. We say owww when we get up. CPAPS are the newest accessory. We now all yell at the TV. 😂
nah bc they don’t i can hear their bones cracking from a mile away
LMAOOOOOO 😭
"We Drank out of water hoses" I literally heard this no less than 12 times when my Gen X Mom came to visit last week and I told her that central florida water is legit that dangerous. The water straight up has stained my tub pink theres so much in there-
I shudder to think of all the lead and other junk I probably ingested as a child when drinking out of garden hoses. Glad I was usually too grossed out by the tepid or warm temperature of the water to drink much of it.
That pink stain is a very common type of bacteria that flourishes in stagnant water. You’ll usually see it around the waterline of your tub or toilet. It’s not like, a _huge_ deal, but it’s also not exactly beneficial to have around. Advice: clean and scour your tub more often.
Edit: the bacteria’s scientific name is _Serratia marcescens_

Im a millennial and when I was in elementary school my teachers would constantly tell us about the physical abuse they had to endure at the hands of their teachers and how upset they were that they did not get to do it to us because just that year a law protecting children from abuse had passed in my country.
I don't know if these gen X parents of gen Z realise how scary it is to listen to your care taker list the ways they wish they could abuse you like they were abused.
I can confirm that Gen X kids were abused by staff in school (physical & sexual abuse) but nobody who wants to beat a child should ever be a school staff member--ever.
Or a parent.
NOOO, fellow Millennial here and I REMMEBER this kind of shit!! I remember "THE PADDLE" (an oar-looking wooden spanking device the size of us children entirely) being hung in classrooms and that at one time it was moved to ONLY being in the Principal's office and it was threatened at everyone early in the school year. I never broke rules or misbahavied so I didn't have to worry about it but I was still scared shtless at the prospect. It didn't help that when I went home and played around in my own yard I would see my Great Grandma's Gazeebo decor and she had one of these huge school paddle's on display. It used to make me so uncomfortable. lol
The older teachers were the worst about being upset they couldn't spank you anymore. Like dang.
@@AlottaBoulchit that sound terrifying I'm so sorry you had to endure similar things 😢 so true the older the teacher the worst their story and their regret and weird desire to repeat their trauma
I, a millennial, went to Catholic school and the priest that did my first confession taught my father (back when priests and nuns were the teachers), who remembers him tossing a high school student across the room and slamming him to the ground. I feel like my father was almost proud??? He had lots of stories of the priests and nuns using physical violence against students but that was the craziest. Definitely doubly weird when the physical abuse is coming from an apparently pious person although it’s not shocking since the church holds a lot of double standards and covers for abuse😒

I'm GenX and am in therapy and EMDR for my mom's insano levels of neglect finally hitting me like a freight train in my 50's. WINNING! The 70's and 80's honestly were a blast from a kid's perspective, but I and many others paid a hefty price for pain masked with toughness that we shouldn't have had to develop.
More on the topic at hand, this shit they're doing online gives me second hand embarrassment the likes I've never experienced. It started out as fun, reminiscing, and jogging memory holes. Then of course people had to make it weird.
Yeah, I'm GenX & my 1st bully was my mom. It's a lot of trauma for us, not sure if that's a flex
Hate that y’all had to go through that. My mom is Gen X as well and I can see how the treatment affects her on the regular.
Lots of love from a Gen Z!
I feel you. EMDR is amazing but that pit of anger, resentment and despair is a deep well.
I'm sorry you had to go through that, but I'm so glad to hear that you're working through it ❤
Congratulations on getting help. You deserve it!
I never felt old until I saw ppl my own age (late 30's, elder millennial) acting like old cringey ppl online 😬
Gen X parents will really be like "I was abused and didn't complain about it and now you want me to *not* abuse you???" and it's like oh boy oh wow we need to have several conversations and there should probably be a medical professional present for most of them
My mum doesn't even realize that what she (and her brothers) went through was abuse. We'll be in the middle of a conversation and she'll offhandedly say something like, "my generation didn't know as much about disabilities and mental health as they do nowadays, so if your kid was having a problem with that sort of stuff, parents didn't take them to the doctor. That's a fairly modern concept."
And I'll be sitting there with a horrified look on my face, because her brother was (and still is) extremely disabled - he is completely non-verbal and needs 24-hour care. The fact that her mother never took him to the doctor had nothing to do with the 1980's attitude towards disabilities! Her mother was just a neglectful b*tch who was ashamed to have a disabled son so she pulled him out of school when they started to question why she hadn't set him up with a school carer or enrolled him in the special school (which was a part of the same school), hid him from society, and abused him at every chance she got because she was a miserable twisted old woman. And yet my mum refuses to believe it was abuse...she thinks that was just normal 80s shit! 😢
Sweeping generalisation on Gen X there

There is something to be said about how “stranger danger” made a generation of helicopter parents. 10-12yo kids can’t even play at the park these days without getting weird looks for being unsupervised. At the same time…yeah, my grandparents needed to be reminded they had children every night at 10pm. I don’t think any of us had a good time.
@Jack-px8lf the fundamental flaw with stranger danger is that strangers aren’t the most dangerous party. Parents are the perpetrators in over 90% of kidnappings, usually to hide the kid from the other parent. When you look at most crimes, you’re far more likely to be hurt by someone you know (family or close friend) than a stranger. Teaching children to avoid seeking outside help doesn’t protect children, it protects the people hurting children.
@@emmettrose5960 exactly my thoughts on stranger danger. there's a few bad seeds or serial k*llers out there. a majority of crimes done to kids are by people they know , recognize, or trust.
@@emmettrose5960Yeah, but people don't want to confront that the people they feel like they're supposed to be able to trust would do such a thing. So they keep ignoring that and blaming strangers. That's when they're not blaming the victims for bringing it up.
They don't want to deal with the family/friend drama or fallout, they don't want to take on the struggles of fighting that abuse and they don't want to admit they trusted the wrong people. So they blame the child and tell them they're horrible little liars, or gaslighting them about it saying it never happened or that they interpreted things wrong.
I feel like one person saw someone from Gen Z saying "I don't like eminem" only because it's not their taste in music and they just went wild with it.
I've read a review about his newest album and it painted him as an old bitter man who hates on a lot of stuff Gen Z stands for (like queer topics). So, it's probably related to that.
Some of his older stuff is good. He really fell off
@@nehalilisayshe doesn’t? He’s always been fairly supportive and even has a nb kid that he supports. Just because he doesn’t 100% agree with every wack ass thing you guys do doesn’t mean he doesn’t support you 😭
@@fukhyu3330 Go listen to some of his old stuff. He's evolved but had and has some rough edges. I'm Genx X, and I listen to some of his music and will happily say he probably deserves what he's getting. Most of us do deserve some amount of criticism. FWIW, Gen Z has it just as hard as we did, just in different ways.
@@ericapelz260 He doesn't deserve the criticism, because as a 19 year old with critical listening skills for music, it's relatively obvious that it's a Concept Album (which he already said himself!) that tells a narrative with two separate characters, one of whom is the persona that is "edgy and offensive" and the other who represents his older, more mature modern attitude. I suppose listening is difficult for people, though, old and young.
This is bound to repeat itself, can't wait to see gen z'ers talking about how we went through a pandemic to gen c/gamma

Gen X here. For whatever reason, there's like this baiting going on w Gen X somewhere & a lot of it is provoking some super cringe stuff. This "our time to rise" thing, I'm pretty sure was triggered by the far right. Out of nowhere, my YT has been covered w Gen X "time to rise" stuff & far right recommended videos. I guess now that we're almost on par for size w Boomers, we matter at voting time now?
It's weird and gross though. Kind of mad at YT about it, too, as I'm a Gen X mom with LGTBQ+ kids.
While I am sorry for your feelings on this matter since I can also relate as a millennial being told I’m responsible for a lot and also getting closer to being the generation in charge but… if the year in your name is accurate to when you were born I can’t hide the amusement in thinking you aren’t Gen X and are instead in fact a baby boomer because Gen X years start at 1965 and end at 1980. I am sorry if I come off sounding bitchy when I don’t mean to, I’m just so heavily amused by that I can’t help it. I still can really relate to things you say though, and I hate that people can act like just because it seems like the majority of something does something that means everything is the same when this is not true. It makes me happy to read you’re a parent who supports their LGBTQ+ kids since a lot don’t. So thank you for that, you make me see that not everyone in your generation is programmed to hate us younger generations. You show me that good and positive things DO still exist there, and the media just loves to try to tell us it doesn’t. 💜

EXACTLY-
Finally, someone actually understands lmao. Like I’m not kidding, for our grade, they would constantly delay teaching us cursive because, “oh, the next grade will teach you”, and we all ended up never learning cursive lmao. Like, maybe you should blame the incompetence of certain adults for NOT teaching things instead of blaming a whole generation for not knowing something THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TAUGHT-
But like, ok, go off sis on how Gen Z are apparently incompetent for some reason…. 🙄😒

@@GenoG1202 Do you think children go missing while their parents are watching them
The worst part is that no matter what generation. They think that their decade was both "way harder" and "way better" than the next.
To tell you the truth, making the future better for the next generation should be a bigger priority than just bashing them for having different types of things that they like or do.

I always find it so telling when they say "I was hit all the time as a kid and I turned out fine" when they are clearly not fine, because they think hitting children is a good thing.
And it's always with toddlers???
You are mostly referring to Boomers and a subset of Gen Jones. The more conservative members of Gen X are also fitting your description, I suppose, but the ones who fought for your rights through the AIDS crisis and watched their friends die usually aren't advocating for such things.
"we don't start fights................... *smug smile* *self congratulatory nod*............. But we finish them" Too accurate
Those are the most annoying. Because you know they've never actually been in a fight unless it was with a teenager telling them they needed to leave the McDonald's. Just bullies.

Lol I'm a gen X millennial hybrid. I totally see that different generations have different experiences in the world these days and that it will likely have an impact on what skills you develop and how you do things.
But we're still living in the same world. And I'm happy you're here and I'm sorry for the mess so many are making. I don't think it's all gen z's end beyond work. It's all of our jobs to make things better.
