Agreed. I’m early gen Z and I’m spending most of my mid-twenties in the education industry (although I’m looking to change careers), and I have made it a personal rule to never dunk on gen alpha. My dad and I were discussing the generational divide (thankfully we’re on good terms), and he pointed out that baby boomers need to be reminded they raised millennials so the joke’s on his generation.

Does anyone know if this generational war is just an American/anglosphere thing? I swear, baby boomers have bought in with “keeping up with the Joneses” too much that they now see their own children and grandchildren as “The Jonses” they need to beat. It’s why they vote to sabotage them, they want to be the one who wins and “show those asshole millennials what for”.

I hate being a sitcom villain in the baby boomer’s story. I’ll make sure that I never try to compete with gen alpha.
