As a Gen X'er, I wonder how the younger generations see things I see. Is Monty Python still funny, or canceled? Is the Lumberjack Song now an example of male toxicity? Is too much spam on the menu something that enrages vegans? Is the song Every Sperm is Sacred now Judge Alito's theme song? Okay, that last one might not be a generational perception thing.

Why do y'all insist on asking people questions about things that could be easily answered with a Google search?
Also: Monty Python isn't as relevant anymore, sadly. My mother and I watch "The Holy Grail" once a year though.
We call it conversation/socializing. And if I ask you a question it shows that I respect your opinion/intellect/knowledge on the subject. Google might hold all the answers, but not all the answers are right. Your experience is more valuable and you might have found an easier or better way.
Hey Boomers, why did you have to go and f*ck up the planet so badly and control everything that we, Millennials and Gen Z have to LITERALLY create TERRAFORMING TECHNOLOGY TO STOP THE PLANET FROM KILLING US or full-on MOVE OUR SPECIES TO ANOTHER PLANET so that HUMANS DON'T GO EXTINCT?
To dear millenials, gen X and boomers,
What pleasure do you get by telling us that your *old day* life was hard and full of struggles?
The lives of Gen Z isn't easier too. The point is that struggles have changed. I agree with it.
The joy of spreading knowledge and letting you know that we DO know how you feel, and we do understand what you are going through because we have been there. We came out the other side of the shite (albeit a lot of us were damaged in the process) and you will too.
How is a generation raised on Southpark and family guy get so offended by a person's haircut or choice of clothing?
How does struggles now a days (mental disorders, stuff with Covid, etc)
Differ from back then and who has it worst?
No one had/has it worse. We just have it different. A lot of mental illnesses were not recognised in my youth, you were just 'a problem child' or 'a little shite' as my mother would put it. Sure we had some things but you didn't want to be labelled with them or you'd end up in an institution (like I did). It was the same with learning difficulties, we didn't have the labels, you were just stupid. Nowadays things are better understood and still being explored, but you have your own struggles, much different to ours but no less difficult. I think you'd have to go back a good 50 years to comfortably say 'They definitely had it worse'.
From a Gen Z.
Dear Millenials, Gen X and Boomers,
Was there something you wished would come true by 2020? Is it still possible to make it come true in this century? Also, what were your expectations for the next generation that came after you?
Flying cars we were supposed to have them by 2015 according to the film Back to the future.
Also, what is a Goat other than an animal?
This is a question from a Gen Z.
Dear millennials, gen x, and boomers?
What was the best part of your childhood and the best thing about your generation and what us Gen Z can learn?
Gen X: I'd say we had a lot of freedom and independence. I would get home from school and immediately go out with my friends and not come back home until way after dark. We had no cell phones, no pagers, no internet. My parents would have no way of contacting me, and they were fine with it.
From a Gen Z to whatever the generation under me is: Why do y’all small children have phones and stuff?? I got my first phone VERY early (11) because I had to communicate with my mom during a school situation. Now we got like 8 year olds with phones acting like adults
hey boomers and gen x, were you allways this oblivious to social cues and the world going on around you? or is it a sign of old age and sinelaty which is coming for us all.
As Gen X, we grew up in a time 'in-between worlds'. Before being called 'Gen X', we were called the 'Alienated Youth'. A time of confusion. What we were being told about the world wasn't what we were seeing. We wanted to make a change and fix things but discovered the older generation had stripped us of our power. So we shouted a lot but didn't know how to organise into a proper movement (Probably because we couldn't agree on details). After a while the problems just... disappeared, nobody spoke about them, did that mean they were fixed? No, but we had to live our lives as well. We watched the next generation come up and start making some noise and it resonated deep within us. We remembered things... Electric vehicles, paper packaging, energy saving lightbulbs... We cared about the environment too! We had Race riots, and marches, and strikes! Gen Xers are divided, confused. Stuck between the need to survive and the need for change. Too soft for Boomers, too hard for Millennials.
