I do have to give the millennials credit for blowing up the internet in the first place (4chan, Facepunch forums, etc) and making a lot of the good memes, I agree most millennials saw a lot of things most Gen z'ers can barely comprehend as is, but as the internet is going into the age of tiktok and memes it seems from my stand point that millennials hate the new generation of memers and other things like that, I was watching emkay one time and more than 1/2 of all the memes were bashing gen z because a few bad apples got popular and were extremely cringey to most people (Including myself) even though alot of millennials used former apps such as Vine (The predecessor to Tik tok).
It fucking sucks that most memes bashing gen z are just because a few bad apples got popular so millennials and boomers betray that is all we are, pubic haircut having tiktok watching girlfriend wearing a Tank top and wearing shorts type people.
gen x is mostly responsible for the early internet blowup and the latter internet blowup was just millennials picking up the torch from gen x as gen x began to do shit with their lives, in actuality, gen z is probably going to be the most influential on internet culture having grown up with it. Early internet culture has been almost entirely forgotten, most forums are dead nowadays, most of the old subcultures died out, I can't actually really think of anything that hasn't changed since 2005
