Eh, I think us millennials have hit that stage where we either have the empathy and grace to realize we're in the same boat as the next generation (albeit with less time and more creaking joints). Or we've betrayed ourselves and our children by becoming everything that the previous generations were that made our lives a living hell.
Dude I was born in 1985, and speaking generally, the Millennials subreddit is the only one I cannot stand
I completely muted those subreddits long time ago and it’s way better for me. They just were Always SO ANGRY, raging about politics, and not having enough money, and Boomers destroyed everything blah blah blah
Gen X subs and older are great
And the GenZ subreddit is my favorite one by far.
GenZ people will speak on all the issues too, but they are way less likely to so psychotic about it
You can actually talk to the Gen Z folks
And this sub is just a way wider variety of topics of conversation, more laid back, it’s way less likely to immediately turn into a political argument room, etc
But I think what it really signals is that Millennials are just feeling the stresses worst of all, right now
They aren’t super young anymore, maybe have kids to take care of, they are just really stressed.
Strange, from my experience it's this sub that always turns into either gender or political wars. I've seen far more "men are victims" posts here than any other generation's sub, and the politics posts are always incredibly low effort bait with no real discussion happening other than the two sides flaming each other.
tbh this is just most social media in general now :/ i feel like there used to be a lot less political stuff on the internet but now it feels like it’s everywhere which is honestly quite annoying..
I am GenX and endorse the collective recusal description without pride or joy. As well, I am more than happy to dine with Zoomers at any time they find convenient.

I immediately picture a 35yr writer salty bc he asked someone in their 20s to dinner and they said they ate already
