Millennials And Gen-Z Are Sharing Their Most “Boomer” Opinions, But They Just Make Sense (35 Answers)

That's what's so great about animals. Your dog doesn't care if he's famous for doing something stupid in a viral video, but your child will hate you forever!

Nobody wants to see that!

Very true. Some people genuinely don't believe something happened if you don't post it and brag about it. I had that situation with people convincing me that I didn't accomplish something just because they didn't see photos on social networks and therefore concluded beyond any doubt that the event never occured. The paper proof was not sufficient.

I will never want any smart kitchen thingys. Basically anything connected to the internet can be taken over by a skilled hacker

I don't think that it's related to one generation. I know very old people, old, middle aged, young, teenagers that only check once or twice a day. And other people from different ages who are always wanting to answer or write immediately. For example, my father and my mother do opposite, and my two sisters, too.

It's such an immature way of thinking to conflate disagree with hate. You see it with preschoolers. You can hate the opinion and still like the person (you can also agree with the opinion and hate the person, but that's a different thing).

As an activist, I can say that social media has changed a lot of things in visibility, meeting people and communication of filmed things that were hidden before. There're also good things.

I consider it acceptable to look stuff on your phone if someone has a question that can be answered with a quick check, but that's IT. No texting, no facebook, no ignoring your dinner companions.

I don't want to listen to my neighbour's screaming kids either, so I turn up de volume.

Those playgrounds are still the norm in Germany, thank God. American parents regularly freak ;)

If you do touch typing, you NEED a physical keyboard.

I'm not a fan of the Beatles (unpopular opinion, but I had to listen and study a lot of their music during my A Levels and my satiation point was reached a long time ago), but I actually miss the days when lyrics really were as innocent as "I wanna hold your hand".

Also, new power adapters with EVERYTHING, without even asking, so all those lovely polluting circuit boards inside end up in landfill!

Why not if you are tired

Exactly. And hosing down a child covered in mud in the garden is not child abuse Dr Phill. I don't have kids, which is probably best.

I follow subs on tiktok that are informational the animal videos and some comedic ones and people that make miniatures some cooking ones that are aged 35-to i think the oldest man I follow is in his 80s. I don't ever see anyone dancing or any of the people that are considered famous

Depends on what you let them do with it. My son has an iPad but it is severely restricted. He can’t get to anything but the bbc bitsize website and only has access to the educational apps. At 6.30 in the evening it locks out until 7am the next day.

Context and intent are everything.

This picture is so funny and the people look so ridiculous.

The generation before boomers said the same thing about telephones because how many teenagers waited around the house waiting for their bf/gf to call.

I generally agree, but it depends on what's standard for your group of friends. For casual get-togethers at my house, my good friends always show up 15 minutes late. That's because they know I'm running around trying to make everything perfect right up to the last minute, and that 15 minutes gives me a chance to sit down and relax for a moment. On the other hand, we invited a couple for dinner a few weeks ago, and they were more than an hour late (with no text, phone call, or apology). I was really annoyed, but they apparently thought it was pretty standard practice. Maybe in their circle of friends it is.

Yes

Then no more gifts period

I think it should be a bit shorter

Unrecognizable is ok. You don't want their faces picked up by creeps and used in videos. And yes, that happens.

My gaming pc is 12 years old and still works fine. I upgraded my iPhone a couple of years ago. Went from a 6 to a XS.

I bloody love my flannels!

"Kids need to play outside more." Society proceeds to make the outside dangerous or illegal to be. "Kids and their stupid phones ..."

Yes! I grew up before channel 5 and usually something to watch, but with 600+ channels of sky TV I'm often stuck because it's all trash or repeats.

Ebooks take up less space though. And they allow me to bring an entire library with me on a bus or train.

Especially in cars. Moving the HVAC controls to a screen is dangerous.

Not working on your faults is also fine...as long as you're willing to accept the consequences that come with that. If I accept the fact that I'm an asshole and don't want to work on it I also need to accept that I'm going to lose friends and alienate people.

I agree about instant gratification and the importance of patience and hard work, but I also think it's important to separate that from this kind of messed up idea western culture has that suffering makes you a better person. There's a difference between instant access to luxury items vs to necessary resources (affordable food, water, shelter, healthcare, and in this day and age, internet. To clarify, I'm not saying everyone needs social media, I'm saying it is nearly impossible to go to school or work today without access to online resources.)

I don't agree with scary, but I find them incredibly annoying. And often a bit ridiculous.

"Kids should go outside more" "but not anywhere i have to see or hear them and definitely not in groups"

Any time you have a group of six or more people, the IQ of each of them sinks to the lowest IQ of the group. This number goes to four if there are costumes involved. If the costumes are of pirates, the number is two

whenever i come across of a group of guys who behave or look like my bullies, i still get afraid. it's been 15years and i am an adult but still they scare me.. >.<

You don’t often find men who harass women when they’re alone, they’re almost always with others.

You're meeting the wrong teenagers then! I am in awe of the magnificent teens in my son's friend group...incredible brilliant people, they give me hope for the future

They're not any more frightening than you were at that age. Do you think you scared people?

I had the misfortune of getting a bus once at around 3 - end of school time. It filled up with teenagers. I was expecting the noise, the stupidity, the obnoxiousness - but I was unprepared for the stench. God, they stank.

im a teenager and im INCREDIBLY insecure around other teenagers. if im around just a bunch of little kids or adults, i dont mind, but seeing other teenagers make me jealous that i dont have the clothes they have, the looks they have, the friends they have, etc.

Nah, I raised 3 sons. They are pretty childish is all.

Why are they scary in groups of 3+? Yes most of them act ridiculous sometimes but actually they are ok if you show common curtesy and respect to them. I knew an old lady that loved going for walks on Saturday morning `about 5-6 am just to meet drunk teenagers/young people because she likes talking to them and she was 60 + and would do it any chance she got just to experience it

Why is it that it now frightens me when a group of teenage girls walks past me....and why are they always giggling? What the hell are they always giggling about?????

Teenagers don’t bother me in the least. What bothers me or people who are bullies or are racists, sexist, ageist etc and will choose to actively harass somebody

I prefer to describe them as immature idiots who believe they are invincible and who think of themselves as adults but have the maturity and knowledge comparable to a 10 year old.

That's not an opinion, is it?
