It's honestly your father's generation that's at fault for this generational animosity, as ironic as that sounds. Boomers were the first to elevate "kids these days" to the meme status it is now, and their arguments don't even apply to the actual 'kids these days', because the Boomers were protected from the world that my generation, the millenials, and the Gen Zers inherited, through a financial bubble that they thought would never end, blowing up in all of our faces during the Clinton Administration.

The Boomers grew up in a world where "why don't you just go out and get a job?" was an actual thing you could say to someone, and on top of that, was a thing you could actually go out and do, as if it was that easy. Now thanks to the shitskins, illegals, inner-city druggies, and other societal scum, the barrier to entry for even minimum-wage employment is almost unbearably high. The days of little jimmy down the street walking down to the corner grocery store and asking the nice old man behind the counter for a bagging job, is O V E R, and it will NEVER come back. Nowadays, it takes several weeks to get that job at McDonalds, and, what's this? It looks like McDonalds pays only $2/hr less than that lab tech job at the hospital?! Well, at least I don't need to go get that degree now, since the bar's so low!

You can probably imagine how that would fuck some people up, who were fed a different expectation of society their whole lives.

All those cunts did was turn grumbling about 'kids these days' into a spectator sport, and only now has that spectator sport deserved to exist, due to the sheer volume of pusillanimous faggots that have been spawned into our world. I hope many of them kill themselves, because even in spite of the extra hurdles we're forced to jump that you did not, there's no reason to be such a fuckin fag about it. Life is pain, life is a struggle, then you die and cease to exist. Accept it or just end yourself.

I've always viewed kids ultimately as products of their parenting or lack there of. When I see older generations complaining about the kids of today, all I can think of is who it was that was supposed to teach them how to act. Maybe the parenting style differences is the ultimate cause. Hard to say.
