Michael Hobbes: Many things to lament in this moment but one thing worth celebrating is that the kids in the Kids These Days whining of older people can respond directly

Let zoomers enjoy things sheesh

lmao “thinkpiece millennials” is absolutely brutal and 100% what we deserve

hopefully the end result here is "millennials killed thinkpieces" it's about time we did something good with that power

Micah we’re the ones writing the thinkpieces. It’s the Zeds that are going to kill them.

writing the thinkpieces and killing them are not mutually exclusive

we brought them into this world and we can take them out of it

Are we doing it because we care about thinkpieces or are we doing it because we are relentlessly grinding out content for a gig economy hellscape? Hmm, there's probably enough for a decent thinkpiece in here... Ah, shit

Dammit you’ve done it again!!

We killed the "my fucking bitch of a wife" comedian at least?

Okay but how will anyone know?

Hey now, we killed the fuck out of fur and diamonds. We can take down thinkpieces.

I'd rather get credit for killing the concept of deity, personally. Real feather in my cap, that would be.

Or we pivot to video and call them thinktoks

Up there with "peloton liberals" in terms of no traces left of the target.

I’m fucking dead in a ditch

I'm not going to lie, as someone careening into my Crone years one of my greatest joys has been watching Millennials learn the hard way that they've become Old and Uncool. Soz.

i've been thinking about this a lot lately... we millennials know how much it fucking sucks to be the butt of the "ohhh look at millennials doing this stupid thing" so why are we doing it to zoomers?!

The good news is, in about ten years you'll have your chance to sit back and laugh while the Zoomers similarly age into irrelevance but don't realize it for a smooth 3-5 years after its happened.

The world keeps turning, my friend. Death, taxes, and laughing at how ridiculous Kids These Days are.

yeah the gen alphas are gonna skibidi rizz sigma everyone into irrelevancy before we even have a chance to realize it!!!!

Did millennials ever get the "we're cool" phase? My recollection is going from disregarded to despised to olds. "These kids are lazy and want everything handed to them. Oops we destroyed earth & homeownership is now basically impossible" "4 dollar toast?!" "You're parting your hair wrong!"

I spent about a decade listening to Millennials tell me how they were changing the entire world to fit their image. I've never seen a generation that far up it's own ass, with the possibile exception of their shitty late-Boomer parents who came of age in the Reagan years.

LOL

A disturbance in the force, like a thousand video essayists collapsing face first onto their keyboards

thinkpieces are bad, telling people they're listening to pop music wrong is bad. I don't know why people have to be so exhausting just because they have an internet connection.

Rite of passage for old people

This is made better only by my having the Millennials to Snake People extension in Chrome so as you type it it's rendered "thinkpiece snake people" and welp!

"thisss just raisssessss further quessstionsssssss"

We are becoming principal skinner in real time (millenials)

People who want to be cultural critics but have no culture.

*giggles in Gen X*

"Early 30s party girl" dude people my age were making jokes about not being able to stay up past 9 when they were 28

Thought Catalog was the platform thinkpiece millennials created and deserved.

They should honestly put that on hammers and just beat anyone older than them who dares to complain.

Many years ago I watched a YT video of The Killers covering Shadowplay and some guy commented how everyone now liking Joy Division are posers while he "was there from the beginning" As if being born in the 1960s is some sort of accomplishment

You can just say "this version sucks" and move on from your early 20s already

im fetishizing youth by being 25

"You're experiencing this art wrong" is always a stellar take

reminds me of this gem (sorry for tiktok link) www.tiktok.com/@cinnamonsce...

TikTok - Make Your Daywww.tiktok.com

what did anne rice say? “interrograting this text from the wrong perspective”?

A six-year artist/listener age gap? Sounds problematic idk????

lol

ridiculous attempt at dunking anyways. they're appreciating an album, relax!

Art can only be about a single thing the artist intended is such a shallow take too

Counterpoint: as an older people, I do not want the kids these days to respond directly to me

Just roll your eyes and move on with your day.

Please use alt text, it’s so easy and it makes the web accessible to everyone.

Using so many emojis in your name is a nightmare for ppl who use screen readers

Oh shoot, I knew this and forgot. Thanks for the reminder.
