Can I at least hate broccoli heads?
No, I’m borderline millennial/gen z and I love broccoli. It’s my favorite veggie. Even as a small child I preferred it to snackie junk food.
The curly perm thing was big in the 90s. It’s just come back around because kids have seen what their idols of the past dressed like.
It is funny to hear stories about teenage Bros that clandestinely get curly perms from hairdressers so their boys don’t think they’re feminine salon rats.
i disown and disavow all millennials who give zoomers a hard time
zoomers are fucking priceless
gen-α needs the strongest possible start and the best support we can offer
let’s NOT act like those FUCKING BOOMERS.
Zoomers are great and all, but their brains don’t seem to stay on for more than 20 consecutive seconds at times.
Any millennial that gives their succeeding generations any shit is a wannabe boomer.
This also applies to Gen-X.
preceding
Are you sure you didn’t mean succeeding?
Isn’t this skibidi toilet stuff for Generation Alpha? The one after the zoomers?
I give absurd humor, even if it seems low effort, a pass.
Imagine how gross/dumb Monty Python sketches were to the Lost Generation. How much did The Kids In The Hall rile up Boomers?
How terrible does early South Park and Beavis and Butthead look to me now that I have a couple decades to reflect on them.
Zoomers are potentially the most existentially detached generation we have seen in a while, and I’m excited to see what they create, if my old Xennial ass lives that long.
I’m a millennial. I love my zoomer comrades. Even if I don’t understand their stuff, I still respect their whole thing and the fact that they’re inheriting a different world with different experiences than what I did, which is really all my generation was ever asking for and never received. I feel more like a significantly older sibling to gen z than a do an entire generational step older. We generally agree on a lot of the same shit. They’re paying more attention to current events than I was when I was younger, and unfortunately it’s kinda more necessary for them to because we didn’t do a good enough job at that until maybe 5-10 years ago.
Sorry if I’m wrong and I’m the exception rather than the rule. Keep zoomin’, zoomers 🤙
Idk man, Zoomers got broccoli heads though.
Jk they’re cool.
I grew my broccoli head out and now I have luscious curly locks 👍
Much better imo
They may have broccoli, but at least we have Celery Man.
I don’t really get the skibidi toilet, but I can appreciate it when someone posts an ai recreation of Micheal Jackson singing it.
I feel the actual “skibidi toilet” is more of a gen alpha thing, what you see from gen z is mostly just people satirizing it
I teach Gen Alpha and most that reference it do so “ironically”, and many think it’s dumb or overdone at this point.
or profiting off of it on many different fronts
i’ve seen a couple pretty dumb (and successful!) attempts on roblox lmao
As a millennial, I do not understand Skibidy Toilet, but will embrace the weird because it is actual art in its purest form and makes people feel differently in almost every possible way when you see it; renaissance painters would have killed to see people respond to their art the way everyone in contemporary times react to this shit.
I honestly think it’s kind of funny. It’s just so stupid. Reminds me of early YouTube
The plot though, its got plot!
Skibidy toilet is just part of the modernist version of dada. I’ve (a millennial) always loved dadaism and absurdism as art and my zoomer kids make me so proud showing me their humor.
As another millenial, this thread is the first time I’ve heard of Skibidy Toilet, and I’m wondering if I should bother to look up what it is.
Do or don’t, we just gotta be good to our fellow peeps as the earth keeps spinning. I still haven’t looked it up, and it’s fine 😉
Another millenial here. I didn’t know what it was until this thread either. After just now finishing binge-ing through all of the episodes (not that bad as they’re all shorts), I’m going to recommend watching it.
It IS fucking weird and absurdist (and I don’t care for the music style, so, was near mute). Honestly though, especially for something produced by a teenager, the cinematography and cohesive visual storytelling is really impressive.
I hope they continue to hone their skills and maintain their artistic interest. And, possibly, take their talent to directing.
Trust me, it’s like the dumb shit we watched when we discovered the weird internet, just using half-life characters and 3d animation. If you’ve ever enjoyed “All your base”, you have no right to complain!

Sharing skibidi toilet with everyone across the Fediverse - I’ve been doing my part! :-P (few have ever heard of it, even fewer like it, none understand it -> it’s perfect art!:-D)
The zoomers are calling us cringe
It’s true, we’re so lame
Yeah stop being mean to me
We did come out of the womb with dad jokes
Weird sfm is nothing new tbh
One particular SFM being this popular is new though.
What’s SFM?
A video maker using the half life engine. Like the other poster said, it’s been used for a long time. This weird new series though has racked up 100s of millions of views and everyone is kinda scratching their heads a bit as to why
Source Film Maker, which uses the Source Engine, which Half-life and Team Fortress 2 are built on. It doesn’t use bones in it’s models, so animation is a lot more manual often leading to really cursed motion, but it’s also quite easy to get running so lots of lots of amateur animation happens with it, particularly shitpposts and youtubepoops.
It was supposed to be up to us 😭 My fellow millennials aren’t aging as gracefully as I had hoped.
Wdym? I don’t fully get the Z’s, but that’s ok, since it’s what’s happened to every generation before and after.
If you worry about how much TikTok they use or something, talk about it, but with them, not at them.
That’s what I mean.
My fellow millennials aren’t giving younger generations the understanding that we carved when we were younger. We’re turning into crochety old people.
Millennials were supposed to do better. We weren’t supposed to be the mean old people blaming the kids for societal problems. But here we are, doing it.
I would check the other comments, this meme is extremely unrepresentative of any of the interactions I’ve personally had with Gen Z as a millennial. We cool with each other and bonded over the shared bullshit we’re inheriting in my experience and I’m on the older side of millennials
All the interactions I’ve personally had with Gen z have also been great. I love Gen z.
But when I look on social media, I see a bunch of butthurt millennials lashing out because they’re no longer relevant and are being seen as uncool. Gen-z does stuff like call our parenting into question and far too many of us do not respond with grace
Well I ain’t a parent and won’t be becoming one so maybe that’s a blind spot for me but I really haven’t seen a lot of whinging from us online either unless it’s Fortnight related. I have seen some from Gen X and a ton from boomers irl though, I think by and large millennials and zoomers are the two most in sync generations with the most respect for one another
Oh… But I don’t think we are, based on what I’ve seen.
While we do see people falling into being influencers and stuff, things I’m personally disinterested in, I don’t really care so long as they’re trying to do the right thing by people as well. We got blamed for playing video games instead of buying houses and cars, remember?
Everyone makes mistakes as they live, life is dynamic, it’s fine 🤷
We got blamed for playing video games instead of buying houses and cars, remember?
Right. And I think that we shouldn’t do the same to the next generation. And I see an uncomfortable amount of exactly that kind of behavior on social media.
I’m a bit confused by your responses. I’m saying “we should be nicer to gen-z” and then you seem to be saying “NO, we should be nice to gen-z”… So I’m not really sure what you’re disagreeing with. Are you saying that we are already being nice enough to them and you disagree that we should be nicer? I don’t really understand.
Haha, trying to make both a PSA and a reply to you results in muddied waters.
When properly split, I’m simply saying that I think most people are cool with each other, gen Z is cool to me as a millennial, and let’s keep grooving.
Skibidi toilet? Maybe mom and dad were right
I’m making a skibidi toilet themed cake for my son’s 6th birthday. I find it all very hilarious.
Nooooo 😭😭😭

I love it; GenX just outside the frame, having our TV dinner, and watching it all go down. We should just change our name to the forgotten generation, or the latchkey generation. Meh. That’ll be forgotten too.
As an X’er married to a Millennial that fights her Boomer folks, this is the way.
Nah, there was that beanie baby movie. People remember us. Totally.
Millenials in the coments talking about how the millenials are actualy cool and already stopped generational trauma:
Yeah, I get this is kinda cringe, but let’s not do the thing where we insult the people that we want to change and help us. That’s very boomer.
I think you misunderstood me…
We think we’re Ricks but we’re actually Jerrys.
I, for one, think Jerry is the best. I take pride in accepting a simple life.
“I just kept crawling and it just kept working…”
I hope that anyone who thinks they’re a Rick spends a lot of time in therapy and on self-reflection, working to change that.
Alcohol is cheaper than therapy.
Ugh the generations… I don’t even know which is my own. Every time the topic crops up people give me a different timeframe for each gen.
Anyways, interesting to see the zoomer holding a mate and termo. I wonder what the original cartoon was about
There’s no official time frame, so you’ll get different answers. Also, generations are somewhat arbitrary delineations that are defined by things other than age, particularly major events and themes that occurred in early life.
For example, it seems that “millennial” is congealing around 1981-1996, at least according to Wikipedia, but there’s still variance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenial#Date_and_age_range_definitions
Yeah, basically you’re a millennial if you’re currently in your 30’s. If you’re within a few years of that age, you may technically be a millennial, or even if not, you may still consider yourself a millennial, and that is fine. Generations are gradients, there is no firm start, or end, and as stated, is more about generalized experiences of your age group.
If you are 25 and want to call yourself a millennial, that’s fine, if you want to call yourself a gen z/zoomer, that’s fine too.
whose trauma? think it’s a two way critique
Gen Xers: am I a joke to you?
Yes
Yes
Honestly, by the time I figure out what year the current generation began, we’ve already moved onto the next one. So I can’t really blame them for forgetting Gen X.
As a millennial, the only humans I hate are the rich. The rest of you are cool, even if some of you are dumb as rocks.
Millenial here, I don’t hate the rich, I hate the rich who has enough money to treat earning money as just a highscore challange.
I think when most people say “the rich” it’s shorthand for super rich like the people you’re talking about.
“The .1%” “Billionaires” “Trust Fund babies”
I think you can be a “trust fund baby” and still only have like millions or 10s of millions. Which is enough to squander in your lifetime…. I can be jealous of people in that situation and not hate. It’s the billionaires with more money than their families could use in 5 generations and who are still accumulating more. Those people can get guillotined.
That’s a good way to be. I try to do this, but it’s hard not to hold people’s stupidity against them when they plaster it all over the back of their car.
Yes. I totally agree, I just try to remember that they’re constantly being bombarded with propaganda and that it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to keep supporting their daddy’s favorite
football teampolitical party.
Yeah but a lot of non rich people supported policies and individuals who were just fine with a system that allowed for the Uber rich goofs to exist.
A lot of them were essentially tricked into supporting things against their interests by a powerful media machine.
As they say never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
It’s hard to draw a line on who’s to blame. But I’d say the evil people tricking stupid people are much worse.
And pretty much an equal amount actively fought against those policies, but were not politically effective in doing so as a result of complex historical and political factors. The Baby Boomers were and are complicated, just as everyone is, and it’s kind of incorrect to treat them monolithically because as a generational cohort, the Boomers were ludicrously massive. So much so that there can actually be considered two dominant sub-cohorts within that generation. Early boomers protested Vietnam and made huge contributions to American racial, gender, reproductive, and sexual rights. Late generation Baby Boomers, sometimes referred to as “Generation Jones” grew up in an era of political malaise, and lived through the economic recession of the 1970s, Watergate, the Iranian hostage crisis, and a bunch of other things that helped to shape their more generally conservative political identities.
That’s what I meant by some being dumb as rocks. They face a lot of propaganda and algorithms on the daily and it’s probably real hard for them to see through.
I think these go into OP’s “dumb as rocks” category.
