Sure, I (as a millenials) may dislike, or not understand, the kids as they are doing new things. I mean i have NO idea what that new TikTok NPC stuff is about and I am to afraid to ask..

But unlike boomers we do know what it is like to struggle for our place in the world and we do not have that skewed of a view. We do understand that sometimes you may even feel trapped or can't see a way out of a dooming scenario.

We understand that trying to live your life is actually hard. Just like Gen x understands that as wel.

Boomer hate is not coming from them hating our punk years or different music taste. Boomer hate is coming from their inability to accept that they had it better then all other generations and continuing to "proof" that every of our issues is easily fixable by "not buying advocado toast".
