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].”

45 “Old Person” Hills That Millennials Are Also Willing To Die On Manners. Manners go a long way. Having and using manners make you feel good. It is about respecting other humans beings and showing them that you do. It feels good to be polite, respectful, and generous. Manners are not disingenuous. They help others feel welcome, comfortable, appreciated, and at ease. Always use “please,” “thank you,” hold doors open for people. Acknowledge others, be considerate of other people. Wish others well. Don’t be afraid to smile first. Think of how your actions impact others. Think of the next person. Be kind. Help others feel appreciated for sharing this existence with you.

Discussing the hills they themself were willing to die on, the OP said that, aside from the overuse of reactions to text messages, they’d have to agree with the people suggesting that driving in a car “sucks”.

“I’ve lived in New York City for close to twenty years but grew up in south Florida, so I’ve been firmly on both sides of the ‘(not) having to drive’ fence. Not having to drive is so much better, and it shows in the replies to my post. It’s a miserable experience overall—traffic, bad drivers, expenses—and it’s only gotten worse because of technology.”

“Every new car basically has a TV in it now, and the TV controls the air conditioning for some reason, and everybody is so addicted to their phones that they just can’t leave them alone while on the road. 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. As I said in a reply to one of the comments, people won’t go in the ocean because they’re afraid of sharks but then they’ll drive home from the beach while watching The Dark Knight on their phones.

“I wish people would treat driving with a lot more caution and respect for how dangerous it can be, and I wish we’d make it possible for more people in the US to have access to public transit like we do here in NYC. (But don’t even get me started on my public transit gripes!”

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.

Especially if you have to fight and beg to get your OWN phone back from them. Establish rules with your kids and stop trying to be their friend cuz you "feel bad for them" you're the parent! its up to you to parent, not a screen.

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.”

45 “Old Person” Hills That Millennials Are Also Willing To Die On Kids need to stop “diagnosing” themselves with all sorts of mental health conditions. 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.”

45 “Old Person” Hills That Millennials Are Also Willing To Die On We do not need to follow every single trend we see on the internet.

Just because it's a trend does not mean you must do it.

No, you DON'T need the new expensive super big gulp metal cup that comes in an array of colors.

No, you DON'T need to buy a bunch of clear plastic/glass containers to restock your fridge/pantry when food ALREADY comes in containers.

No, you DON'T need make your home look like it came from a magazine or sad beige channel.

No, you DON'T need a 100 step skincare routine.

No, you DON'T need to get filler just because your face is maturing out of teen hood.

Trends come and go, and thanks to our ever shortening attention spans, they go almost as soon as they come.

Pretty soon, people will regret spending all their time and money on those trends and then move on to the next big trend that will leave them equally, if not more, unfulfilled.

Just be happy with what you have.

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.”

I'm a Visual Editor at Bored Panda since 2017. I've searched through a multitude of images to create over 2000 diverse posts on a wide range of topics. I love memes, funny, and cute stuff, but I'm also into social issues topics. Despite my background in communication, my heart belongs to visual media, especially photography. When I'm not at my desk, you're likely to find me in the streets with my camera, checking out cool exhibitions, watching a movie at the cinema or just chilling with a coffee in a cozy place

I think that a lot of these are not just old people opinions.

Heck, I’m just over here trying to wrap my head around the fact that Millennials are considered “older” now, apparently. It feels like just last year that they were teenagers XD (I’m Gen X…)

Older person hill (no, I'm not saying how old, but candles on my birthday cake are now a serious fire hazard): houses should be built like they were when I was young - solid enough that they don't tremble with fear every time a loud car goes by.

I don’t think most of these are just old people opinions. I’m GenZ and I absolutely hate having to download an app for every single daily activity, can’t stand everything becoming a subscription nowadays, and also dislike QR code menus (although I recently had to use one which was actually more convenient - I was in a hotel room and their restaurant was a fair walk away as it was a large expansive hotel so having the ability to scan the QR menu and order from the room itself was such a relief!).

Phones are overcrowded with various apps as it is. We don't need like 20 more for each brand store we shop in. Just give us a little plastic card as before, I can deal with that.

I just had to deal with the app thing. We went to universal island of adventure yesterday. Had a great time but ordering food was a nightmare. Had to download the app. Create an account, choose the restaurant we were in which gave us the menu. Pick what we wanted, then add a payment card by typing all the details as scanning the card is not a function in the app, then scan the qr code to input the table number as the app does not let you type it in. Also had to ask someone if we could actually get water that didn’t cost $6 plus tax per bottle. Thankfully we could just ask for cups when the food came which we did and the server looked rather confused about it. It was such a faff and there was no need for it. Now I need to find a way to delete my account.

Further to this. It was easy to delete my account. Sign in, choose the option to delete, it asked if I am sure, clicked yes and done. No funny business so they got that right at least.

I was born in ‘74, I’m rapidly arriving at half a century old. I’m sick of all people of all ages using their definition of what is ‘right’ to tell others how to behave or what to wear, do, listen to, like, dislike, or how their generation is the best one. It’s narrow minded, shortsighted and incredibly forgetful. Remember your parents telling you punk was just noise? Or rock / pop / metal / county / blues being better ‘back in the day’? My daughter is a big fan of K-Pop, it’s so far from my tastes that it’s unreal, BUT she’s listening to music, learning about another culture, it’s great to listen to her enthusiasm and enjoyment, I’m not about to rain on her parade just because it’s not Metallica or Bonamassa or Bach. FFS folks it’s about tolerance and enjoying life.

nothing i hate more that my boomer/gen x cusp parents and their friends using voice to text for the longest text message possible in public. if you have that much to say, call. if you hate texting that much, don't text, but why are you speaking into your phone really loud, knowing damn well the voice to text always gets half the words wrong, and then getting angry that the words are wrong and deleting half to use voice to text AGAIN?! just stop using it!

I agree with the Metal Health statement. Don't use it to be rude to people. I've suffered Depression and suicidal thoughts, I always said sorry to people (Same day or next time I saw them) if I come across as rude. Someone in my family treat's people like Sh*t and blames it on their Mental Health. It's annoying when there are people who are really suffering.

1. Prank Culture for social media likes and follows: If someone pranks me like I've seen in some of these videos and reels - they're likely to get punched. 2. I've recently seen videos that some schools are teaching a new way of singing "The Alphabet Song" to kids. It's the same tune, but the letters are broken up differently and it breaks up the classic "LMNOP" (ABCDEFG-HIJKLMN-OPQ-RST-UVW-XYZ). WHY THE F*** WOULD THEY DO THIS? The old way worked just fine!

I'm gonna take another chance to preach this gospel: Get ready to buy a f*****g house. Yes, they used to be way cheaper back when boomers were buying, but boomers also needed 20% down and had 15% interest rates. That meant that for a $200,000 house, you needed to save $40,000 and pay another $30,000 every year in interest rates. Today, you need 2% down, and there were recently interest rates as low as 3%. You'll probably pay 6%. 6% of a $400,000 means annual interest payments of $24,000. If you can't find a home for way less than $400,000, move. GTFO of New York, California, Boston, DC, etc.
