De Leon: So apparently, Gen Z is throwing rabbit punches at millennials

I KNOW it doesn't seem fair. Have millennials not been through enough already? We've lived through a financial crisis, been told by boomers that we're spoiled little brats and for what — to have Gen Z's beef on us, too?

I'm not certain if I want to make this a topic or not because it's still in its infancy stage. But I dabbled something online that got me into thinking.

There is a raging war between two major factions in the world. I didn't realize that there is much angst between the millennials and the Gen Z or (the zoomers) It's taking over the internet. We see it around. It's becoming more prevalent right now.

Making fun of millennials is pretty easy once you know the basic buttons to push. From what I've seen, it comes down to this: Millennials are earnest, obsessive, and love a good label.

And apparently, the zoomers are for fighting character traits.

They're posting stuff like "wow, just because you drink a lot of fine doesn't make you an adult.” Amazingly weird, right? Yes, these are stereotypes and, notably, very white stereotypes. But they've still managed to get under some people's skin.

“Millennials will attack you if you disrespect their Harry Potter house.”

“Gen Z is being raised by Gen X, whereas Millennials were raised by Boomers and it shows.”

“All they do is drink wine, post '90s kid meme, talk about start-ups and lie.“

And millennials are not pulling their punches either and responding:

“if you have a problem with millennials, then why are you watching 'Friends'?"

“Man how did Gen Z get so old? They remind me of my grandparent's parents' generation...”

“Omg! Why do they sound exactly like boomers?”

“We come in peace, goodness gracious, why are they so furious at us?”

From Harry Potter to ’90s nostalgia, to saying "doggo," it turns out millennials are ripe for mockery. But what the heck? I was looking forward to being old enough to complain about the next generation and suddenly it has skipped us and we are getting it from both sides. I feel cheated. Chill out, guys. It’s funny Haha!
