    gen z here. I genuinely think most millennials are cool asf. y’all took the brunt of the hate from older generations for us. I just hope we can pay it back somehow in the long run

      While I appreciate the sentiment, I honestly think us Millennials just did our time in the barrel and now it’s your turn. My evidence: I use Firefox, by default it congregates a bunch of “news” articles from around the web (via Pocket, I think. Whatever the fuck Pocket is) and here’s a headline from Elle I’m looking at on my other monitor as I type: “Is Gen Z Killing Vintage Fashion?” You are The Demographic now, so there’s going to be about 15 years of exactly that bullshit to roll your eyes at.

        I’m so glad I’m not being blamed for the decline of a shitty industry no one else took part in either, otherwise it wouldn’t have failed.

          Yeah, now it’s more like “are gen Z killing X industry?”

          me: “God I fucking hope we are”

      From everything I’ve seen, you will. Just keep working for what’s right and good.
