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 actually convinced a person that Pearl Harbor never happened... that it was a fantasy movie like Godzilla and now they keep on making Pearl Harbor movies just like they keep making Godzilla movies. I was actually just trying to be funny and felt kind of bad when I had to tell him I was just kidding him and yeah, Pearl Harbor really happened. I like joking but I don't like making people feel stupid. I honestly thought he would just laugh at my "joke". Never occurred to me that he'd actually believe me. :(

    There was a lady that called a radio station here in Vegas, when the movie first came out, throwing a huge fit because the DJs gave away the ending that the ship SANK! This woman had to be in her late 20s/early 30s.

    There really is no excuse for anyone not knowing history especially because there are ads everywhere for the Titanic exhibits, new stories about dives to the Titanic...Titanic anniversaries etc etc..It's not like the Titanic is NEVER mentioned. Titanic is synonymous with Disaster.

    This reminded me of going to see the Leo version of Romeo and Juliet and at the ending people were seriously shocked they died...at the time I was like"did you think Baz was going to change the ending" now I realise a whole lot of people went to see a Leo movie, not a Shakespeare one.

    My grandfather told me that he had seen the titanic sinking, saying that he warned people that the boat was sinking, but they did not pay attention to him. Instead they tried to beat him and throw him out of the movie theatre .

    I saw American Idol and the contestant Wade thought he would need a passport for Hawaii! When he got there he saw jets flying over and someone said they came from Pearl Harbor, he said he thought that was just a movie! He spent too much time doing something else, was on drugs, or our education system is really that bad!

    The real problem is that they will not think that the disaster really happened, but that the story told by the film really happened (jack and rose thing).

    Well, if you remember Titanic from when the ship actually went down, you are either delusional or at the very least 115 years old - given that you probably dont remember much from before the are of 7 after 107 years. In 14 April, it was 107 years ago the ship hit än iceberg. This is not a generational thing, just poor education.

    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.
