It's only as weird as you make it 😊

I don't think most of gen z will get it either

Plenty of gen z aren't on Ticktok

I feel like this is a weird conversation to have on a gen z community

That's old people talk

Not be murdered by the fascist dictatorship that took over my country.

Yup this is the same lazy "journalism" that just makes arbitrary divisions between generations. Best thing to do is ignore and point out every generation had the exact same shit said about it if people bring it up

we millennials

You just did the same thing

It's intentional to create engagement with the story so you'll comment and boost their link in the algorithm.

For all those killing industry opinion columns a significant amount of those industries are still alive.

Don't worry, we millennials had the same shit. I couldn't relate to half of the headlines and didn't know anyone who did.

Not to mention Rockboy, the Gameboy emulator. Loved playing Pokemon Silver on it in health class on my e280

It would be yoomer.

I very clearly remember it from before then. I was like “zoomer, that’s a stupid name” prior to the pandemic.

It’s actually why I’m here, because it had never once occurred to me that it could relate to Zoom, because “zoomer” predates Zoom being used by gen z

Well, I haven't been a big fan of this millennium, but here I am.

This is correct.

It came into popularity beginning in 2018. Wikipedia.

They were called that before covid, I think it’s just gen z+boomer

I always took it as just taking boomer and starting with z. ironically xoomer could sorta be pronounced the same the way we use x. millenioomer is to cumbersome.

Yeah, although I think, it only got as popular, because it sounds like "boomer".

Then it's not so much that you hate Zoom, but that you're consciously trying to avoid proprietary software. That's a good stance, and a good principle, but it's not hate for a specific piece of software specifically.

I realize you were just making a quip, but it struck me as so incongruous that I had to ask.

This thing is a proprietary software, contains trackers, surely has something to do with ai etc etc

How/why do you hate a piece of software you've never used? How do you form a reasoned opinion on it without trying it?

Well I'm Gen X and I hate X so I'm not sure that argument holds water
