Millennials are older than Gen Z. Why would a Gen Z’er be sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper? Gen Z would be born between 1997 and 2012, these people basically grew up online.
I suspect the author meant Gen X, but was too busy laughing at their own joke to bother checking which generation is which
He’s just committed to the vintagecore aesthetic
Gen z are all about the retro stuff they didn’t grow up with
Millennials: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that’s when they were growing up.
Gen Z: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that’s when there was still some hope in the world.
Gen alpha: not old enough yet to be nostalgic (but will probably be nostalgic for the pre-trump/pre-covid days of the US).
Shouldn’t Gen Z know what a ‘Spicy X’ is though
(it’s everything and nothing)
I’ve met more zoomers who talk like that than millennials tbh.
I think Gen X fits a lot better than Gen Z.
The joke may have merit, all generations have their lingo but it does seem to have gotten extra meme-ish as of late, but the labels are all wrong. Millennials are the old ones, the meme language speaker should be labeled as Z (which came after millennials) or Alpha (came after Z, born 2010-2025.)
Did they switch alphabets too when rolling over from Z to A?
