In a recent interview with Bored Panda, ‘Rooster’ shared that it was communicating with younger friends and family that made them ask the question about the so-called ‘old person’ hills millennials are willing to die on.

“I originally posted that question because I’ve become so surprised at how some of my friends and family—mostly the younger ones—tend to use the ‘reactions’ to text messages,” they said, emphasizing that it’s the reactions that pop up after pressing on a message for a little while and not emojis that they’re talking about. “There seemed to be a lot of confusion—and even some anger—about that,” they said.

“It seems like they [young friends and family] feel the need to attach a reaction to every message that gets sent, despite the fact that they’re also replying with… you know… words,” the OP continued. “It made me wonder if they perceive the fact that I don’t do this as rude or as bad manners. But I’m not going to do it because it seems sort of silly and excessive to me.

“I also have enough common sense to realize that this is probably a generation thing, though, which made me wonder if other millennials felt similarly about the reactions or if maybe I’m just getting old.”

The redditor told Bored Panda that they really enjoyed reading through people’s answers; though, some more than others. “A lot of ‘super clever and hilarious’ people decided to reply with just a thumbs up emoji—good one! Very original—in addition to a couple of ‘okay boomer’-style replies; those stung a little, if I’m being honest.”

Be that as it may, they added that they agreed with quite a few of the answers they read. “It seems there was a lot of common consensus among the millennials on a number of topics,” Rooster said. “Some highlights include:

Headlights these days are too dang bright!
People shouldn’t listen to their dang music/videos or take phone calls on dang speakerphone in public!
Everything requires a dang subscription these days!
People need to get off their dang phones and touch grass! And stay off your phones while driving! (Lots of ‘being in the car’ gripes, I have to say.)
And OH MY GOSH, people hate the QR code menus and want their paper menus back! I’d venture a guess that 30-40% of people who posted complained about QR code menus. Certainly the most common comment.

“As for what surprised me the most, honestly it was the lack of toxicity,” the OP continued to share. “The internet is often thought of as a cesspool of negativity, but the millennials mostly had gripes about pretty reasonable things and—mostly—didn’t say anything bigoted or homophobic or transphobic; although sadly there were one or two [comments].”

It makes for an awful and stress-inducing—not to mention life-threatening—situation,” the OP pointed out.

“People really need to come to grips with the fact that driving a car is by far statistically the most dangerous thing they do on a regular basis.

Discussing why it is sometimes difficult for people to accept or get used to certain things other—especially, younger—generations do, the director of the Center of Innovation in Social Science and A&S Distinguished Professor of sociology Dr. Deborah Carr pointed out that throughout history, every generation has judged the generation that follows them.

“It is often hard to put ourselves in others’ shoes and understand each other’s preferences for music, lifestyle, spending habits, and more. Also, our worlds are very age-segregated, so it is difficult to really get to know people of other age groups outside of our own family members. It’s very easy to judge those people we don’t know well,” she told Bored Panda in a recent interview.

For the OP, it was the reactions on messages and certain aspects of using technology that they didn’t see eye to eye with the younger generation about. But that didn’t mean that they were dreading using technology altogether; and, according to Prof. Carr, neither do generations older than millennials.

“It’s a stereotype that old people fear technology,” she noted. “Many baby boomers and Gen Xers were at the forefront of the tech revolution. Past generations pioneered internet dating, email, and more. Much older adults might have been initially uncomfortable with technology, but even people in their 70s and 80s learned to Zoom with their families during the pandemic.

“Many older people—and rightfully so—fear that virtual communication takes away the human touch – virtual friends can’t provide the same kind of nurturing and support as those who pay in-person visits. Older people also have fewer reasons to hop onto the newest technology. For people who are retired, they can make do perfectly fine using just the basics.”

Half the kids I meet casually talk about their adhd and/or autism. I understand seeking a medical diagnosis is inaccessible for a small number of people (due to finances, parental denial, etc) but it is not 50% of teenagers. There is a reason why we have diagnostic criteria. Being forgetful happens to us all sometimes. So does getting distracted in the middle of doing a task. That does not mean we all have adhd. So many kids I meet are self-diagnosing based on a 30-second TikTok they saw. Many 20-somethings I know are doing it as well.

On a related note, the overuse and misuse of “therapy language” also needs to stop. Someone who pushes back on you when you say something inaccurate is not an “abuser”. You can’t set a “boundary” that you get breaks whenever you want at work to play on your phone. Like, come on.

But when discussing people’s relationships with technology and other aspects of modern-day life, it’s important to keep in mind that no matter the generation, people are all different, and millennials are no exception.

“There is no single type of millennials,” Prof. Carr emphasized. “This generation is very diverse with respect to age, gender identity and sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, education, national origin, economic resources, and more. They did share some pivotal experiences that have shaped them, however. They were very young when the 9/11 attacks occurred, and their childhood and adolescent years were punctuated by high-visibility school shootings. Many were young adults launching their careers and marriages when the pandemic struck. So, they have faced major challenges throughout their lives, with technology being a double-edged sword. Some use technology to cope and connect, whereas for others it’s a source of pressure, FOMO, bullying and more.”

While no two people are exactly the same, they might share certain views or opinions, shaped by significant events of their time. “The historical events—whether wars, pandemics, or economic recessions—that strike during their formative years can create tremendous obstacles (or offer tremendous opportunities) as young adults pursue goals like school, jobs, home ownership and more,” Prof. Deborah Carr pointed out.

“Some generations have greater historical luck than others. It’s important to recognize that our successes are not due solely to personal strengths or ‘grit’ and to acknowledge the historical benefits (or disadvantages) that different generations face. Most people are doing their best to carve out meaningful lives, sometimes against the odds. Judging generations as weak, narrow-minded, selfish, or any of the negative labels bandied about is just counterproductive and based on stereotype rather than fact.”

Nah - politics do and should concern everybody, and discussing controversial views is the only way society and democracy can make decisions and move forward.

No wonder they feel threatened by people who see things differently - to them their one "stable" column supporting their lives wobbling must seem like a world shattering event and an attempt on their lives.

I have an announcement: As long as you are decent, and your heiny-crack isn't showing, and your frontal bits (whatever they may be) aren't showing, then YOU ARE ALLOWED TO WEAR PAJAMA PANTS AS EVERYDAY FASHION. I am 42 and I have worn pajama pants out in public. I did not spontaneously combust. Old ladies didn't get the vapors and faint when they saw me. NO ONE CARES if you wear pajama pants out in public, except for shallow people who probably WANT to wear pajama pants in public, but are too afraid to.

Because it's all licensed software and nobody can afford to centralize all of it. Or at least nobody can afford to centralize all of it because it's public education. Would you prefer some sort of centralized government issued software package that did all of it? I'd be OK with it but it's only a matter of time before some RW psycho starts screaming about brainwashing our kids to be atheist robots.

I'm the oldest queer person at my work with the others ranging from 17-23. So, mine is related to behaviors I've observed from them and from a lot of other lgbt zoomers. I think a lot of people nowadays have turned experiencing oppression into a virtue and or like...almost something fun? (Yes, if you were wondering, all of us are white) And a lot of people treat having a fluid or complicated gender/sexual identity or being kinky or polyamorous as something that's more enlightened and morally superior compared to being like, a monogamous cis butch lesbian with a wife and kids, or a binary trans person who wants all the surgeries and hormones and wants to pass and be treated just like anyone else of your gender.

Pedestrians walking into the crosswalk without looking. You realize a car can and will hurt you and any speed if the driver isn't paying attention.

It's not a game I'm willing to play. Stop, make eye contact, then cross.

Seems to be a cultural thing. When I was in Rome making eye contact with drivers seemed to signal "I saw you" - implying "...and I know that you and your car could easily kiII me, so I'll stop". In Germany drivers are generally likely (actually obligated) to stop at crosswalks, and a look, possibly even a nod or raised hand in more rural areas, is the polite way to go.

If you’re going to camp, then bring a tent, and forget about trailers or motor homes. Leave your electronics and recreational vehicles at home. The more of home that you bring with you, and the more noise you make, the more you’ve missed the point of coming out to the wilderness.

More like an unpopular opinion, but the further further into the new generations get the more and more I feel they just like to complain about anything and everything. Like it does not matter a Gen Zer will complain about the most stupid thing in the world. Like Eminem. You do not speak for your whole generation or anyone else’s so stop talking. Also, they are going to have trouble in life because they do not know basic life skills. And instead of getting off of their a*s and learning them, they’re just gonna blame other generations that they don’t know how to do things. And I’m honestly over it.

You do sound like you're complaining about other generations being to blame though. Why should they stop talking while you are free to blame them? You complain that Eminem doesn't represent his entire generation, yet you talk about other generations like they are homogeneous entities. Weird.

Text message reactions are literally the most unnecessary thing technology has produced. I don't want to check my phone during an ongoing conversation to see a reaction only to check it when I get yet another notification a few minutes later with a message that conveys *the same reaction.*

Kiddo, you can't change your style every two weeks and attach core to a random buzzword. You need to look into your soul, your lifestyle, your likes and dislikes, and make boundaries about what goes on your body. I hate to go back in my day, but back in my day when we were goth, we only had the power of our imaginations and our DIY skills to create a look. We ripped fishnets, shredded jeans, raided Halloween stores army surplus and thrift stores, learned to sew, forgot to hem, held our clothes together with safety pins and hot glue, used white out on our combat boots, made our jewelry, used copious amounts of eyeliner and dyed our hair with kool-aid and splat. We made our styles ourselves. If we did buy something, we either had to save up for docs and Tripp pants, and God forbid you were Lolita because those dresses started at 500 dollars in those days.

In the earlier days of Facebook, my grandma had fall at home, was seriously injured and called my mom first. She asked me to spread the word (4 sets of aunts/uncles and 16 adult cousins at the time). She agreed since almost all used Facebook that would be the easiest way. One cousin made a huge deal "you don't give out bad news like that". 20 years later and SHE is the one who posted on Facebook that Grandma had died. Within 10 minutes of her dying and before my mom had time to call and tell me. 🤬
