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 had a custom storage file for them. Programs would run from three to 12 or 15 disks. And I had to sit and watch for the notification to insert disk #__. You could read several comic books while doing that!

    My first computer as a Packard Bell 386 mini tower with a built-in tape drive. It came with DOS 6.0, Windows 3.11, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Money and a few other things. I spend my first weekend with it formatting 100 of these disks and creating the Setup programs for all the installed software because it didn't come with any disks. After I was done I accidentally formatted the C:\ drive and had no idea what to do after that. Fortunately I had completed making all the Setup software so I had everything I needed to reinstall everything.

    Oh man I used to use 3.5" discs in college. I once forgot and put it in my pocket with my Seimens C35, it rang and wiped a whole semester of work. I then spent €100 on an 8mb flash drive and my classmates were like ohhh that's like 6 floppy discs!

    The disc inside the hard plastic case was still floppy. That’s what we recorded on, not the outside!

    In many countries they were known as 3.5 inch floppies despite their rigid casing. South Africa took the more sensible course of calling them "stiffies".

    Ah, these are modern 'floppy' disks. Not floppy at all. I wonder if anyone has a proper 5.5" floppy. When floppy meant floppy.

    Huh, I could have sworn it was five and three-quarters. Looked it up and you're right. I remember the first computer we bought that didn't have the right drive to read those, and then the first computer with nothing but a CD drive... *sigh*

    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.
