My millennial (or maybe gen x) roommate spends a lot of time on tiltok, so she's always teaching me (a gen z) new 'gen z' slang.

It's fun, but on the other hand she has a pretty skewed perception of young people. She's always watching engagement-bait content online, and she seems to think most people my age are complete idiots.

I mean don't get me wrong, we are idiots, but we're not a different species or anything lol.

Do not let generational gaps fool you, most people are idiots

Growing up is realizing your parents were idiots too.

People who complain about younger people are the biggest idiots who forgot that other idiots said the same about them a long time ago. Same with those who complain about older people a little too much.

Yup. I went to school and college with some monumental idiots back in the day. I had my moments too, of course. Idiocy transcends generations.

No. Gen Z is the future. The rest of us are dinosaurs.
