Why does Gen Z want to be millennials so badly? This dude was 10 in 2012 while I was 24 reading hipster runoff, going to shows and banging sluts.
>>131420157They’re tsundere for us
>millennial nihilismI'm le tired boss
The trvke is that younger millennials 30-35 and older Ziggers 25-30 have more in common with eachother than with their younger/older counterparts.
This nigga is 23 and critiquing an old blog that he has probably never even read himself, because the website isn't up anymore since like 2015 and can only be accessed via Wayback Machine. I don't think a bigger LARP is physically possible. >I was on a bunch of Vyvanse and working as a nighttime security guard at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston [...] I was really into Nietzsche's The Gay ScienceAlso do not look up Castration Movie, please save yourself the cringe of seeing zoomer trannies try to do their own version of Harmony Korine.
>>131420459I'm 28 and the only people whose opinions I trust are 40+ year old millennials or those right on the cusp of being considered a part of Gen Alpha.
>>131420157The younger generation always responds/idolizes the generation that came before them. As a Zillennial I can kind of sympathize with them, but at the same time, I recognize how lame it is to be constantly pulling from/idolizing Millennial Hipsters that were mostly devoid of any talent whatsoever, especially the NY scene (not including Interpol). LCD Soundsystem/DFA Records, The Strokes, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were all terrible. Out of those bands, The Strokes were probably the best and most capable, but there's still a dilemma, why listen to them when you can listen to Television, the Modern Lovers, the Velvet Underground, etc.
>>131420459that is very true. Zoomers under 25 are quite different: more socially conservative, much less drug and alcohol use, much less sexting, more interested in investing money, owning a home, and marrying once and early. pretty interesting studies on this.anyway have some pasta..."The seething din of millennials faded into the warming night, their cries of "the Beatles fucking suck" and "Boomers are to blame for all my failings" were dampened to silence by the mist, and drown by the morning dew.But they'd be awake by early afternoon, only to start the plaintive ritual again; the melancholy wailing bouncing off the backlit screens and cereal boxes surrounding them, while members of other generations, working, raising families, contributors all, heard nothing of it. The local flora turned as deaf an ear as the fauna, and the cloudless sky, too; and so continued the spiteful blameful opera voiced by the directionless adherents of America's voluntary class of malding malaisial millennials."-- Magnus Olympus, from The Saddest Clowns in the World
>>131420157Dude, we came of age during COVID and late 2010s culture war dogshit. We didnt have a real scene. Can you blame us?
>>131420489depends where you live. from what i've seen i wouldn't trust an American Boomer, for example. but I'd trust one in my country.
>>131420489youre a born in le wrong generation fag
>>131420503you ended up much better than millennials, despit that or because of it.
why do 4chan users try to act like they are super cool normalfaggots now? we know you're a loser.
>>131420524Right generation fags are worse
>>131420499>The younger generation always responds/idolizes the generation that came before themwasn't the whole thing in the 60s about hating and rebelling against your parents?
>>131420499>but at the same time, I recognize how lame it is to be constantly pulling from/idolizing Millennial Hipsters that were mostly devoid of any talent whatsoever, especially the NY scene (not including Interpol). LCD Soundsystem/DFA Records, The Strokes, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were all terriblethose bands were kind of fated to suck because they were the soundtrack to the safe, clean, tourist-friendly Giuliani New York. which was a nice place to visit, but it didn't lead to good art. the New York of the no wave era was completely dystopian and that lead to great music.
>>131420499those bands sucked, nu metal sucked, pop punk sucked. we want to forget about them, not reenact them.
>>131420913the generation that immediately precedes yours aren't generally your parent's.
>>131420913Most of that was ginned up by the media, but it is true that most kids back then did not listen to musicians older than 30, the mentality was a lot different.
>>131420681This. So sick of "I'm actually a well adjusted cool guy" LARP. If you are here then there is a good reason for it and I have bad news for you
Nostalgia comes in twenty year increments. The 18-24 year old demographic is very much still a thing, and the youth always lament what they "missed out" on. We were like that too at some point, OP. Don't begrudge them. They'll be running the world before too long and all we can do is offer them guidance.

Because none of this shit is consistent. I broke this shit down in the Nu-Metal thread by how I see it. The influence is top down from influencers. If someone is tapped into those "Millennial cringe" videos, those TikTok cringe compilations, those pseudo intellectual video essays then they could take that shit in without thinking about it on a deeper level. Some of friends have no clue about the generation war crap at all. Some of them regurgitate buzzwords like "Millennial" at random shit or "Gen Alpha content" without thinking. It's a top down Hypno hivemind that doesn't make sense unless you've seen it in action imo. Some people are a part of it and other aren't. No one stops to tell them that most of the Youtubers they grew up watching were Millennials. All of the flash games we grew up with were made by Millennials. Even the classic YouTube era revered by my generation was 95%+ Millennials. We grew up wanting to become like Millennials and it happened it's just shit took a dark and dystopian turn. People are individuals. A lot are malicious sadists and a lot aren't. The system that rewards engagement and ragebait is fundamentally rotten and corrupt imo and encourages this sort of shit imo.>>131420459I feel like I'm 70/30 or 60/40 between that camp and the Younger Zoomers. Saying that as someone born in 2003. I feel like that distinction isn't 100% perfect.
>>131420157>r/indieheadsThis is another problem with the state of modern music. Places like this perpetuate the stupid hipster nonsense of treating music like a fashion accessory. If it isn't some quirky indie slop it gets no attention because that's the image alt people are obsessed with these days for some reason. And everyone lives online these days so the only bands that get attention are gay hipster trust fund bands who are selling the hipster image.
>>131420157>millenial nihilism Nihilism was gen x's thing lil zoomie
You realize millennials were all LARPers too, right?
>>131420157While us around 13yo-15yo in 2012 missed out on living the Millennial moment or the zoomer revival. Instead we got stuck with rap :(
>>131422768And millennials got called out for larping as “90s kids” when they were in fact 4 in 1995.
>>131422863Skill issue. I was listening to death metal at 15 despite what my peers were doing.
>>131420157Lmao these lyrics make chat pile look like literature >Dressed in the uniform of the verbose>At the end of the world, so it goes>Left to your own vices and your do′s and don'ts>You left behind your houseboat on the side of the road>Maybe if you stream this song enough times on your phone>It′ll pay for a drone that'll take care of all of this>Hypnagogic Republicans, shitgaze landlords>Short form video content, optimized for playlists>Algorithms build futures, don't lose the rights to your masters!>But hey, what do I know?>I′ll believe in anything>Wall street got occupied, Kony got 2012′d>And what do we have to show for it?>Cops are killing moms in their cars>Cuz you wanted to say "retard">I know it's obvious, I know it′s the obvious thing to say>And it's not gonna change anyone′s mind>But you know if they're gonna round us all up tomorrow>I just want you to know>That I hate you

>>131422863You guys were a part of the original SoundCloud era and were SOME of the classic youtubers like comon dude. Id take that over this bullshit.
>>131422577You gotta be there. It was kinda fun and naive.
>>131423044does she really believe OWS was her generation's Kent State shooting moment?
>>131423044>Hypnagogic Republicanslol, ariel pink diss
>>131423891Reminder that John Maus simps for this dude instead of collabing more with Ariel Pink
>>131420157Since when is millennial nihilism a thing? 38 year old millennials unironically believe Harry Potter is real and Trump is Voldemort. Millennial cringe is defined by being hilariously overly optimistic.
>>131421002They are if you are nonwhite. Like most zoomers.
>>131420459nope.with boomers i can talk >allman bros >paul newman >warren zevon>lou reed >gene wilder >tom petty>brucezoomers can’t even talk fatboy slim and prince.
>>131422883And you both were too young to experience the campus rape hysteria/gamer-gate combo that brewed into the late 2010s culture war. So you didn't get why everything fell apart. Luckily I was a younger millennial and was doing research chems that came in the mail so I had no problems at all. Just chilling. Listening to Schoolboy Q, or Father John misty, or whatever other slop was big at the time. And yeah. Aubrey Plaza was fucking hot and the OG goth gf.
>>131423044I didn't know shit could get that retarded
>>131424216She’s mad that they didn’t remain true believers and instead abandoned Bernie Sanders and Chapo Trap House etc
>>131424298>And you both were too young to experience the campus rape hysteria/gamer-gate combo that brewed into the late 2010s culture war.No, I just didn’t go to college but I was 21 when gamergate happened.
>>131424349I don't think the campus rape hysteria was really a college thing. They had like Obama looking into it, and a rolling stone article that word for word including the names described a since scrubbed kink boundgangbang's video. And it absolutely kicked it all off along with BLM at the same time.
>>131421099>they’ll be running the world soon We’ve been saying this about successive generations for forty years now, and the people in control in the ‘80s are still in control now.
>>131423044It’s remarkable that someone managed to be worse than Chat Pile this decade.
>>131424285stop sucking boomer dick nigga
>>131420157You shouldn't say those things about yourself just to have another thread about you, Lex.
>>131420157Music for the Luigi generation
>>131424583Boomers perfected music. The best music by the following generations were all attempts at chasing a boomer high
>>131420157Why do millenials constantly steal valor from Gen x then piss and shit themselves when zoomers call them out?
>>131424814We're keeping the alt ethos alive after you guys all sold out
>>131424830Pfft. Yeah. Right.
>Did you ever have a Jandek phase?>No, because I have this thing with both him and Tom Waits where I find it to be too much pretense. I can feel you putting on a character, and that gets just kind of grating for meGod damn this kid is a huge fag and I hate him
>>131424917damn he's a pleb
>>131424917I don't fuck with niggas who don't fuck with Jandek
>>131424917>literally pretends to be the opposite sex full time>notable musicians are putting on too much pretense
>>131424732>>131423378look at the sorry slop we had to listen to when we were 14. my dad, now he was 14 in 1969.
>>131424988kek
>>131420459Zillennials are a real thing. By years my sister and I are technically on opposite sides of the millennial zoomer dividing year, but we grew up with all the same things and a couple older siblings too that were much older so they were grown up and out of the house by the time we came of age. Most people in this range know this unless they're just being difficult. I just take this all as zoomers trying really funny hard to make something if their culture and kill their idols. It happens all the fucking time and it's annoying but it's the way things have gone for years. Wish it could be different, but the want to be your own thing independent of previous generations is strong even though you would be nothing without them. They'll grow up and realize the errors of their ways only for the next generation to start to lambast them once they're old enough. Youth is wasted on the young etc etc
>>131420157Larry Fitzmaurice is just another self-hating millennial hipster grasping for attention by letting zoomers spit on their life. Debasing yourself this badly is truly an art form. Thanks Larry.
>>131424814The entire indie folk thing, particularly dressing like it's 1890s was invented by millennials and it really is a bizarre unconnected to anything anomaly.
>>131425251>The entire indie folk thing, particularly dressing like it's 1890s was invented by millennials
>>131423044Did he ask chatgpt to write lyrics based on the most cringe reddit posts it could find??
>>131425332That's dressing like cowboys. Which is considerably less retarded and not the same thing. Millennials seemed to dress as lumber jacks or generic 1890s city slickers.
>>131424917Does this retard even know what a song is? Is he here reading this right now? Can you defend your reasoning? I am shocked you're even being interviewed by someone like your insight matters
>>131420157Zoomers hate millennials and want to steal our culture becaue they don't think we deserve it or some gay shti. Who knows, they're zoomers. They're just mannequin people doing whatever their algorithms tell them to do.
>>131425373They are jealous of our IPAs.
>>131425015that's mostly late Gen Xers who did that slop not Millenials
>>131423891>shitgaze landlordsThat's a Wavves diss too lol
>>131424917damn, she doesn't understand anything. If you can't relate to or even appreciate outsider art and music, you're fucked in my opinion
>>131425392Huge white pill that the guy from Vampire Weekend is an Xcel.
>>131425392>that's mostly late Gen Xers who did that slop not MillenialsOk fine, Nickelback and those guys were late Gen Xers. Fair enough. However, Millenial musicians produced nothing but trash.
>>131425438Your right. X'ers had troons like Kurt Cobain, and Z has this one, the 100 Gecs one and Ethel Cain. Meanwhile Millennials had actual biological blonde woman like Taylor Swift and Molly Rankin.
>>131424732>Boomers perfected music.no they did not. this is what boomers did.most of the people you listed were silent gen
>>131425465they look freakin gay
>>131425465that was Gen X
>>131425438>Millenial musicians produced nothing but trash.thats wrong
>>131425474jon bon jovi is a boomer anon
>>131425465holy shit...they were chuds
>>131425468You got a problem with that chud?
>>131425465>most of the people you listed were silent genI didn't list anybody, there's more than 3 people on this thread. And anyways the late silent gens were spiritual boomers, the average silent was a square who listened to perry como, or at best some tradjazz beatnik
>>131425491damn wtf bon jovi sucks ass
Everybody consumes art made by the gen ahead of them when theyre teenagers because teengers largely arent making good art unless they're proteges and/or have connections to even get on a label for exposure. Most teen stars or younger people like that are going to be like guys on the Disney Channel and shit or boy bands and all that crap, so naturally you'll consume the stuff from the generation in their 20s
>>131425514I hate Timmy music. Does that make me a racist? It’s not that I hate white people, I just can't stand the sound of Singer-Song writer, Indie, Soft Rock, Country, and even Folk.I actually love white artists like the Beatles, The Smiths, Iggy Pop, and King Crimson.
>>131425524I don't like most of that stuff either desu. Some old indie rock is ok
>>131425487he was born in 62, he was barely out of diapers during Beatlemania
>>131424988trannies are not know for their self-awareness
He's good even if he's a little bitch
seriously, Taylor Shit is the ultimate lame Millenial right down to how she says stuff like "Awesomeness" in interviews
>>131425524>>131425528Pajeet alert!!!!
>>131425474gen x starts in 1965, kurt cobain was born in 67 so pretty much everything prior to nirvana was boomer music
>>131425555She's terrible. I mean absolutely atrocious. Her music gives me school talent show vibes, and this isn't me just hating to hate.
i don't think anyone will ever make a docu like this with Millenial musicians
>>131425956ahem
>>131425986those people are late Gen Xers. the LCD Soundsystem singer was 34 when they first came out.
>>13142575467 huh>>131425826>she
>>131426014And a majority of those laurel cannon artists were actually silent gen. The fact remains that those groups featured in meet me in the bathroom were popular when millennials were in their teens or 20s which is when music makes the greatest impact on a generation
>>131426014>>131425986yeah, the same Gen X finance bros and tech bros that cut the lights on Millennial indie to replace it with raves, house music, and $1000 Coachella tickets are now in 2026 promoting The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and LCD Soundsystem as >ultimate indie sleazeThose were NYC microscene stars from the early 2000s. YYYs were 2 hit wonders, Strokes were considered embarrassingly washed up by the end of the 2000s (Julian's long flop period of The Voidz was like... not even worthy of a cringe response it was that poorly received), and LCD's retroactive accolades were seen as purely a marketing hype train that built up for their reunion shows/tour for future retirement home rent moneys.
>>131426321the Silent Generation was 1925 to 40 and boomers 1941 to 55 so most were really early boomers
>>131426344Google says baby boomers are from 1946 to 1964 "These years span the mid-20th-century baby boom that followed the end of World War II"
>>131425499>the average silent was a square who listened to perry como, or at best some tradjazz beatnikthey were folk like Rosemary Clooney and all of them whose world view was informed by big band slop and came up performing on the radio as kids before being discovered by a bandleader. the boomers came up in the TV age, they had a very different mentality. music was about having a message 'n sheet, it wasn't just being an entertainer and singing nice tunes.
>>131420157Because culture died with us (millenials). It'll be auto-repeat from here on out. Gen whatever-goes-after-Z will also be out there larping as millenials. And the one after that. And so on. This is as far as it gets. This is it.
>>131421057alright but you're here though
>>131426365Sociology has it this way:Greatest Generation: 1900-1920Silent Generation: 1920-1940Baby Boomers: 1940-1960Gen X: 1960-1980Millennials: 1980-2000Generation Z: 2000-2020As marketing terms, the dates vary wildly depending on who you're talking to, what time of day it is, what the phase of the moon is and so on, because marketing isn't science.
>>131420157Unironically why do young zoomers look like this? This boy looks like he's never gone through puberty, he has literally zero (0) features commonly associated with masculinity. Why weren't his parents at all concerned when he failed to develop secondary sexual characteristics?
>>131421057What if I just want to talk about music somewhere that doesn't force me to make an account
>>131426923I mean "lex" its obviously a troon, are you stupid?
>>131428101I know many zoomers (especially in the younger 2002+ cohort) who look equally as feminine but I know for a fact they are not on estrogen. Even the Chapo guys here >>131424598 were wondering if he's just a feminine twink or an actual tranny on HRT.
>>131426923It’s possible that his parents are allies and gave him castrating drugs to block his puberty
>>131428139Christ almighty, I didnt know how bad things were I guess
>>131428139It's got a dick, calls itself a woman, and dresses like a woman. it's a mentally ill tranny, simple as that.

>>131429496Hip zoomers have made having browsed websites they were too young to browse while they were in their "golden era" their entire personality because they realize their adulthood coincided with the death of the Internet so they proudly invent stories about how they were browsing 4chan in its heyday (when they were 5) and SomethingAwful (when they were 8).t. knower who works with zoomers
>>131429536I refuse to believe 4chan and Something Awful but I'm not joking when I say I remember playing Sonic Battle Cards on Newgrounds in the early 2010s when I was 9, 10 or 11 and I was playing flash games as a 5/6 year old in 2009. You can point and laugh but it does happen.
