    Just because you don’t understand something within the first 5 seconds doesn’t mean it’s stupid.

    Also information changes on a daily basis. Just because someone gave you different information than what you were taught doesn’t mean they were taught wrong. Look it up.

      As a 30+ person, this hits true. I heard my first friend say “the crap music these kids are listening to”. Like dude, have just some self awareness, remember our parents saying green day and blink -182 were crap.

      I would add to this that we don’t need to understand something for there to be value to others. There are trends I don’t understand, like dancing on tiktok, but it apparently brings the youths joy so have at it.

        As a 40+ person, I strongly agree with my young colleague here.

        Listen to what you want, kids. Enjoy it. And don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong about it.

        As Common once put it, “If I don’t like it, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hatin’.”

          Loving this chain. Also over 30. I get frustrated that what older generations used to spout about Millenials like me (lazy, don’t want to work, etc) gets spouted by my generation to gen z.

          I’ve seen some Gen Z kids do some bad things, but I’ve also seen them do amazing things my generation would not have done.

          As far as music, I love all the variety there is and all the mediums to listen to it now.

            I am actively working on trying to be better than the older generation. I love how unique gen z is, how they truly believe everyone have value, their beliefs, their morals. I have hope they will be better than us
