          That didn't sound right, so I looked it up: Moot is a millennial. 4Chan's got nothing to do with GenX.

          Being started by a millennial means nothing to the discussion. Were millennials the users who popularized it?

                Technically Patrick is still correct. There are way more younger generations doing more fucked up shit than us. Yeah, we had fucked up shit, but there was fewer of us so the volume of fucked up shit is significantly lower 😤

                He didn't say we didn't have any just that we had less.

                    We saw Nazis as bad and shunned them.

                    Gen Z and Gen Alpha created Incels.

                      "invented online bullying" yeah sure technically correct but people have bullied each other literally forever so to act like that's a millennial thing is really dumb

                          Remember that the front page of reddit had jailbait and coontown posts hitting the top regularly. After that it was fatpeoplehate.

                          People were just as deranged back in the day it just manifested more aggressively.

                          In the cod4 days id regularly scream slurs at people and tell them to kill themselves. It was just what you did.

                              Generational categories aren’t real. They’re arbitrary lines made up for listicals and inflammatory content. There is every type of person in every generation, and most trends are more due to the natural progression of age than generation drift.

                              Comparing generations is only useful when evaluating the context in which they live(d).

                              It covers shared experiences decently well. Like obviously there is overlap but in the U.S. as a whole most millennials were kids who have a memory of a pre 9/11 world. Most zoomers grew up with WiFi being common in their houses. Most Gen Xers have memories of being a child near the end of the Cold War and were in the work force before Internet was common. Most boomers either served in the Vietnam war or have a memory of someone close to them going off to fight in an unpopular war.

                              A lot of those experiences have lasting effects in how those generations behave. It doesn’t mean everyone is the same but instead that you can follow trends that are more true for each generation

                              Then there is also the advantage of tracking a groups shared experiences like for example many millennials were relatively unaffected by the dotcom bubble but for the 2008 recession they were hit much harder

                                    The terms are used to convey a group that would buy shit. They are not anthropology terms. They are marketing terminology used to sell you shit. I'm sure today's students like to use them in their anthropology papers though
