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...

    I think your a liar. What kind of 18 year old in Jun of 2014 most likely born in 1995 don't know what that is. CDs and CD players like the one in th picture were used between kids through out the 2000s normally. I know like a majority of people the same age who all had one as a kid. Like I said your brother was probably shunned or your lying. Also if it's your brother then that means you're probably not that far apart of age so that's like saying you don't know what this is. It's not like it's a cassette player

    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

    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.
