    The Zs are the first ray of hope in a long time. They’re like fully actualized Gen X. They’re doing their own thing collectively.

      Millennials just needed to be blamed for everything that the Boomers and Gen Xers did wrong first.

          I mean honestly, I sort of see my role at work as preparing the future management for Gen Z.

          I was already getting the blame, might as well have fun with it.

          Plus I always get the messages after teams meetings: "holy shit, you’re like the first person I’ve ever known to use a meme correctly and professionally. "

          I think :"Damn. I’m an effective communicator. "

        Gen-Xer here. I feel like a lot of us tried repeatedly to do the right thing, but we got constantly told to shut the fuck up by a lot of the boomers. And as they vastly out-numbered us and held most of the power, eventually we gave up.

        I’m glad to see younger generations with more authority and bigger numbers trying to do the right thing. Godspeed.

      The fact that they dress like Gen Xers is such a relief.

      I remember when we “rediscovered” hippy stuff and then old people would be like “oh that’s so nice to see”.

      Now I’m that guy, and it is really relieving to see young people dressed and acting mostly like we did at that age.

      The way it feels to me is that Gen x was like rebels without a cause, while Gen z is more like rebels who just want to live their lives. Like gen x was trying to lash out against society while Gen z accepts that it sucks but tries not to let it mess with them. Meanwhile I feel like millennials are just trying to survive and figure out how to achieve a semblance of the economic security boomers had.
