Because the planet will be uninhabitable by the time they’re fourty.
We’re already there. Millennials aren’t young any more 😐 😭
Gen z aren’t millennials and they’re not 30 yet.
We are really letting Gen-X off the hook. I never hear about them.
That’s because we’re too busy slacking for you to notice us.
I notice.
Yeah, and they talk a lot of shit for people who just let the status quo carry on.
You mean Musk’s and Bezos’ generation? I wouldn’t call what they are doing keeping the status quo. And just to be clear, I don’t mean this is a good way.
How was it not the status quo? They kept doing the same shit as before.
No, the forgotten generation just quietly made Gen Z, which at least tends to have the right attitude. You’re welcome.
By setting an example they don’t want to follow by my reckoning.
“Millennials: too poor to have a midlife crissis.”
Thirty-six percent of millennials also said they were going through a midlife crisis, while only 15 percent of baby boomers said they experienced similar financial stress during early adulthood.
Millenial here, I had an existential crisis in my mid to late 20s because the job market was shit, my romantic relationships were in shambles, and prospects for the future looked grim. I managed to shake myself out of it and find a path forward after moving and changing a lot of my expectations for how life should be. I realized that I’d been lied to my entire life about what was important and how to achieve it. I realized that I was struggling so hard because the path laid out for you is one that benefits owners and rulers, not yourself.
Nothing in America has gotten better since then, and all those factors are worse. Jobs are less stable, less interesting, and lower paying. Relationships are even more alienated and hard to form. The future looks totally fucked.
I wouldn’t call it a midlife crisis, but I had another big breakdown in early 2020 as I realized that the pandemic response was indicative of how we were collectively going to handle all the other issues of the 21st century: climate-change-enhanced disasters, wars, famines, and plagues. All my faith that humanity could pull together in crisis to handle the looming apocalyptic challenges evaporated from seeing people hoarde toilet paper and cheer on mass death from avoidable disease.
So now I’m just trying to enjoy the downfall. Either I’m wrong and the hateful, spiteful, shitty people are correct in which case I guess there’s nothing to worry about. Or I’m right, people suck, and I’m privledged to have been born at the very peak of human progress before the whole species dies back to the low fuedal periods, if not extinction. Might as well enjoy the ride!
I would also have a crisis if I still lived with my parents and unable to find a job at 25.
More like a life crisis
What is it with these articles painting gen z as 4 year olds lmao
Same thing as where millennials are still in high school
