    What are the chances you are GenZ / Alpha?

    Older generations bitch about “damn kids these days don’t respect their elders” ever since at least Socrates.

    The young have always bitched about the older generations being stuck in their ways and being too nostalgic about their own youth.

    This is the way.

    You’re not special.

      Why would it matter if they’re genz/alpha? They are describing observed trends.

      What in their comment has anything to do with people shouting respect their elders? Or younger people thinking old people are too nostalgic? It seems the opposite if anything, more based on older people’s nostalgia for their time and younger people internalizing that, not fighting against it.

      When did they claim to be special?
