Don’t worry, GenZ will eventually get even more burnt out than us. They’re just not there yet. We all have it rough.
Millennial here. Fuck this shit - our enemy is the ultra rich and shitstains that abuse power. Pitching generations against eachother is counterproductive.
As a millennial I give zero fucks about this generational shit with those who come after us. Gen Z and Alpha have the same shit sandwich we do, with their own special horrors we didn’t grow up with. We should be working with them to make this better for all of us who come after the Boomers and Gen X.
This headline reads like “kids these days can’t get off their phones” as if the Boomers who wrote it aren’t sending iPhone gift cards via Facebook messenger to a Nigerian prince.
Can’t get a job? Just go to school!
– Okay, I went to school. I can’t get a job.
Stop being lazy, go take an in-demand field!
– Okay, I took a degree that’s in demand, I can’t find a job in my field that pays enough to live.
Pick yourself up by your bootstraps. More education is always better. Do a Masters!
– Okay I have a masters in Mecanical Engineering; an in demand skill. I will be bankrupt from loans in 2 years.
Can’t pay your loans?! You gotta hunker down and do the work, join a trade!
– Okay I took a pre-apprentiship course that plays with my degreeS and… Can’t get a job without a red seal; cant get a red seal without a job…
Why are you just playing video-games all day? Why dosen’t anyone want to work anymore?!?
Have you tried not eating avocado toast?
Fuck this generation war bait.
Of course they’re not as burned out as us; they’re younger and haven’t been beaten down for as long. I’m sure they’ll get there in time, but we need to stop this intergenerational infighting and focus on what’s really important: putting everyone over 50 in camps and redistributing their wealth.
And even if they never have it like us, then good. I want younger generations to have it better. I know what its like to be handed a shit deal
I want my son to grow up in a world with so much oversight and regulation that he takes government protections for granted and dismantles them for tax breaks. Is that so much to ask?
Let’s start with Florida and see how it goes
That’s where I was gonna build the camps.
Nope we’re not doing this again. It’s not like that. Were all equally fucked on average. Let’s not be crabs in a bucket.
The most burned-out generation yet.
This comment section gives me hope.
Good job, Lemmings, for recognizing this for what it is.
Don’t let the Mainstream Media incite any war but a Class War.
Didn’t know being mentally unwell is a competition, but bring it on
Divisive shitty title
The kids aren’t alright—and neither are the millennials.
Obligatory:

But yeah. This is just a “most burned out generation so far…” thing.
Everyone is calling out (rightfully so) the divisive bait but I think there is some interesting reason worth discussing behind this:
Some Gen Z folks used the wisdom of millennials and just said fuck it and checked out, their lives might not be great but it’s probably stress free.
Whereas for millennials, in theory having the American dream was possible, just less likely as time progressed. They are stuck with an almost sunken cost fallacy in which they have tried so hard cause they believed with enough effort they would make it. Now that they are burned out, they are faced with the dilemma of either stop trying and waste the high efforts or keep going and maybe they will get lucky.
So in conclusion, millennials having it better can backfire in some sense.
The only reason this can be even slightly true is strictly because of age. We are ALL burnt out. They will be where millennial are in just a few years. We gotta stop this gen VS gen nonsense.
