A Break Down Of The Beef Between GenZ and Millennials

In This Article:

Did anyone predict generational war between GenZ and Millennials for February of 2021? because I sure didn't. Several tik Toks have recently highlighted the extreme differences between these two generations, and Millennials are very upset. So to break it down for anyone who is confused, or completely unaware, I'm gonna go over the main three things that have sparked these debates

1. Skinny Jeans.

During the past few years, skinny jeans have sort of died. Recently, a Tik Tok blew up of a group of GenZ girls out together all wearing baggy/mom jeans and sneakers. The same video then showed a group of Millennials who were all wearing skinny jeans and heels. This sparked a debate in the comments about which type of jeans are better. Many more videos have stemmed from this, most with Millennials being offended that skinny jeans are no longer "cool" and GenZ saying that we really don't care what you wear.

2. Middle Parts.

Started from a Tik Tok of a woman in her late 20's doing a makeup routine and everyone in her comments spamming, saying she needed to try a middle part. In the next video she did, and it blew up. This then caused millennials to start another "Wait why isn't this cool anymore???" narrative, this time for side parts. Trust me, GenZ doesn't really care about where you part your hair (It looks better in the middle though.)

3. Giving your kid an Ipad.

Once again, started with a Tik Tok. A teen posted a video saying "Can GenZ all agree to not give our kids Ipads?" which then was duetted by a Millennial mom asking what they made that video on. The point of her video then becoming completely invalid because the girl was making the video on an iphone and she was probably 16 years old. These videos created a debate between teens and Millennial moms about parenting strategies, and if its healthy to give your kid an Ipad at such a young age or if it's just convienent for the mom.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
