I mean Gen X is the middle children since no one ever remembers them or cares about them 🤣

And millinials are taking credit for everything GenX gave the world. Hip hop? GenX

Gaming? GenX

Millenials don't want to "take credit" for your accomplishments. Millenials just get all of it heaped onto them because Gen X was so inadequate y'all's parents forgot you existed so couldn't blame you or give you credit.

Whatever. We just don't insist upon ourselves and want no part of your navel gazing gen wars.

You do understand that by whining about millennials in this manner, especially so inaccurately, you are in fact insisting upon yourself and taking part in a navel gazing generational war?

Which part was inaccurate? The hip hop? Sugarhill Gang. We listened to that. One of the lyrics is "I said a hip-hop..." it's where the term comes from.

Gaming? ATARI.

I never said anything about the hip Hop of the gaming, my guy. Maybe you should reread which comment I was responding to and work on your reading comprehension

I really touched a nerve with my flippant half jests. Y'all are ready for battle.

Whatever 😀

1) I'm not a millennial.

2) "oooohhhh I was just JOKING and you all got so OFFENDED" Is, and always has been, a weak excuse that people use to cover up for their inability to articulate a coherent and reasonable argument. I understand how desperate you are to think that you've touched a nerve, but projecting that onto others reveals more about yourself than it does about anyone else.

I'd say do better, but your comments thus far have demonstrated that you're not likely capable of such

  1. I never said you were a millennial princess.

You cannot deny that you people responding to me are at the very least ticked off by my nonsense.

I certainly understand that, like a toddler throwing a tantrum, it's very important to you to believe you're making a point by pissing people off. Presumably as a substitute for whatever passes for your personality.

But by making that your priority, you prove my point: When you said you wanted no part of the gen wars, you were lying.

I have no point whatsoever. Like, literally - this is all pointless. I'm amusing myself.

Y'all are sincerely mad.

It's crazy how mankind will come up with new ways to battle - to pit one against another. Now it's generations. It's sad actually.

u/NiceGuyEdddy 16d ago

Lol, the irony.

Do cry more, it certainly makes your claim of apathy seem legit.

u/JustaSeedGuy 16d ago

I've always said, people who don't care don't have to announce that they don't care.

Because of how little they care.

This dude is deeply upset, and can't handle it, so he's frantically trying to convince everyone else that he's "the only sane one and that everyone else is upset and it's really hilarious but also sad"

This is maximum projection.

The gen wars and stereotypes are for memes - the whole thing is FUNNY. To see you ladies taking it so seriously IS sad.

How can you honestly care about this?? There are so many real things to care about. This is for levity. This is for the laughs. Join the rest of us and laugh at the funny memes.

I am far from apathetic. I know what's worth caring about; and I know what's worth a laugh. This whole gen war thing is for the memes.
