There is an ongoing (and it seems like a never-ending) discussion between the millennial generation kids and baby boomers. While the older folks are trying to prove that us young people are ruining the economy and basically the entire world, we millennials keep fighting back by blaming baby boomers for any minor inconvenience we stumble upon during the difficult period of growing up. Basically, both generations blame each other for everything that is wrong in this world, and we're not sure if there's any way to stop them. And while this fight about generation differences keeps evolving, a new, fresher and younger generation is slowly growing up only to find a new way to ruin the world that we live in. The so-called 'generation z' or 'Genz' are people that were born from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. And even though the age difference between Genz and the millennial age might be small, there are some things that millennials grew up with that Gen z kids have no clue about. Bored Panda compiled a list of all the random things that the younger kids from different generation don't understand, and before you check it out, be careful, it might make you feel extremely old.

LOL! Yea. Sometimes the crowd is just a little too young for me. Their drinking the cheapest thing they can to get messed up. I'm sipping my one drink made with titos so I can get up on time the next day and get stuff done.

Here in Finland we have Radio Nostalgia. Which is a channel that mostly plays songs from 1990's and 1980's. That is one of my favourite radio channels and I feel extremely old when I listen it. For me a radio channel called 'Radio Nostalgia' should play 1960's songs or older...

With a laser, duh. Though the real party trick was burning the title on top of the disk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightScribe

All of these tablet and smartphone generation kids will be in for a shock once they start working in offices with actual desktop PCs. They'll wonder what the mouse is for.

I think you're severely misjudging how much people learn between the time they are tiny children and the time they work.

Two for stereo sound (red and white) and one (yellow) for picture. Though there is a slightly better (but still old) version with 5 jacks- 2 for audio+ 3 for picture. TBH I'm not even sure if newer monitors/ TVs even have those anymore. I love my LG monitor because it has a lot of options. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YPbPr

Yes. They were invented to make people go "What the f*****g hell causes these things to get tangled every time I stop using them?"

I don't know where this pic's from, but in France (way back when, in the 90's-00's) only consoles had those, so a lot of peeps wouldn't know, regardless of their age.

Bruh I'm Gen Z and I've used these before, maybe because we always got everything about 5 years old.

Yeah that's really not that old and there are still several current models of televisions that use them. Now if you really want to feel old and stump them show them one of those RF powered adapters that had to be used on some of the TV'S. You know the ones where the power cord was like a foot long.

Maybe it was just me being clumsy with switching them out between Gamecube and DVD player, but the jacks on my old CRT were fiddly at best. Give me lovely HDMI any day.

A/V cables, last used to link VHS and DVD recorders when you didn't have enough SCART sockets...

Ah...many a day I spent on the customer service line at Nintendo telling people how to hook up their AV cables in lieu of the co-axle cable to get their NES and SNES to show up on their huge heavy pre HD tv's.

Admittedly, why would you need to know about all kinds of obsolete cables? Particularly since these were used for different purposed, particularly those with adapters.

Coaxial cable, I will let slide, but the RCA cable? They're just dumb.

Bet whatever you want that she knows pretty well Justin Timberlake still. Boy bands are merely a launchpad for artists, if they are good enough to continue. East 17 were way better anyway...lol

I loved the Mummy movie as a kid. And there was this other one where the devil was a hot woman and was trying to get Fraser's soul, it was a funny movie.

Explain it like this: Imagine that every time an app crashed, you would have to turn off your phone, blow into it, then restart. Also imagine that when you downloaded an app, it was actually finished, and didn't require a patch twice a week to fix all of the bugs and add unnecessary updates.
