Look, every generation gets slapped with labels like they’re cattle at an auction.

Gen Z = soft, phone-zombies. Millennials = needy, praise-hungry. Gen X (that’s us, my battle-scarred brethren) = emotionally unavailable, checked out. Boomers = can’t find the WiFi button, but can find a 20-minute story about it.

Truth? Those “misunderstandings” aren’t totally wrong—they’re just the PG-13 trailer version. The R-rated director’s cut looks more like this:

Gen Z will quit your job before the ink dries on their badge, but they’ll build an empire in emojis while you’re still looking for the stapler. Millennials act like they want hugs, but what they really want is purpose—and a decent Wi-Fi signal. Gen X? Oh, we don’t talk in meetings? That’s because we’re too busy plotting revenge in silence. Rage on simmer. We invented “fuck around and find out” before it was neon-lit on TikTok. Boomers still prefer phone calls, but let’s be real—they’re the ones who’ll fight to the death over expired coupons and still walk out with respect.

The Dark Truth

That second meme nailed it: “Never pick a fight with anyone over 50. They’re full of rage and sick of everyone’s shit.”

Yeah. That’s us now. We’ve been holding the line through every fad, every “must-have app,” every HR-mandated “team-building exercise.” We’ve buried friends, careers, marriages, and more patience than most people will ever have.

So when you push? Don’t expect “the bigger person.” Expect the one who’s done taking crap, armed with a lifetime of receipts, and just enough arthritis to swing a punch slower but harder.

The Moral of the Story

Generations aren’t enemies. They’re just different battlefields:

Z fights with speed. Millennials fight with feels. Boomers fight with tradition. Gen X fights with the quiet, seething knowledge that we already survived disco, dial-up, and New Coke.

And we’re still here.
