The older generation has basically always resented the younger generation for:

  1. Their lives being easier,
  2. Their music and clothing being awful,
  3. Doing sex wrong.

It's like a constant of recorded history. The Romans said these things in ~300BC.

Also about the younger generation being too soft, which I believe ties with your first pint.

As a millennial I don't resent zoomers, I actually feel ashamed for not having done better by them

As for music and clothes... I mean... we had Gabbers...

As a fellow (albeit very late) millennial, what is a gabber?

I also never heard of Gabbers, my fellow millenianite. From a quick Google search it appears to be a style of EDM music.

Some people made it a lifestyle, with specific looks and clothing as well.

I hope the Gabbers are still out there? ... That is, if they used that amphetamine sparingly.
