15 year old zoomers be like: I am young. I am growing up in a world where god is not only dead but rotting. Politics and labels have filled the void where my sense of community should be. The post-modernism that presided my generation has left me in a disassemble world of noise. I try on different world views like gloves. Too afraid to commit to anything, too afraid to commit to anyone, too afraid to say anything so I mask my feelings through several layers of irony. This has left speech meaningless, my actions meaningless, my entire life meaningless and I rail against older generations for precipitating a world of absurd pointlessness that I now have to live in. I am so desperate for a community of any kind I will latch on to any label in order to get friends. I use these labels as a poor man’s substitute for identity, even the term zoomer is a example of this. Me desperately clinging to a label in order to be associated with anything resembling a cultural movement because a label, even a pointless label given to me by virtue of being born is enough to make me feel like I have some scene of belonging in a disconnected world. ZOOMERS GOOD, BOOMERS BAD! This is a comforting dichotomy.


60 year old boomers be like: I am old. I am a scapegoat for all the worlds problems. I am responsible for the decline of it’s economy, it’s environment, and it’s culture. I cannot empathize with the younger generations because I cannot fathom the kind of world they are growing up in. The younger generations despise me because it is comforting to believe that there is one group of people you can blame all your problems on. This is the societal equivalent of blaming your parents for everything but no one seems to call it out. It lets us believe the problems now facing the world are boomer problems and are not in fact, human being problems. Time to retire and bankrupt social security!
