Gen Z

Crybabies with no social skills or work ethic. Their parents never disciplined them; they have been spoiled. Very fragile people. They cry to the authorities whenever they have a problem with someone, rather than be assertive and successfully resolving issues with people. A common, passive-aggressive revenge tactic of their is to ruin their reputation when they are a very safe distance away from them, rather than confronting them. They are the coworker who will often call out "sick" because they are in a bad mood, or hungover; can't handle stress; have to be micromanaged every second. They are not prepared to deal with the real world where they have to work with people who are different than them.
Don't hire Gen Z. They will either show up to work late or not at all. They want to have all their weekends off so they can drink and do stupid, degenerate activities in parking lots on weekend nights, or complete level 100 for their favorite video game. At work, they will stand around, goofing off on their phones, ignoring your customers. They will complain to HR if you raise your voice at them for being not productive. They will begin to cry when they're stressed out.

gen alpha

gen alpha (noun)

Digitally native: They’re growing up with AI, virtual assistants, and immersive media as normal parts of life.

Education-first tech: Many use learning apps and digital classrooms from a very young age — especially post-2020.

Visually literate: Raised on short-form video, emojis, and touchscreen interfaces, they process information differently than previous generations.

Health-aware: Their childhood is shaped by global events like the COVID-19 pandemic, and many have an early understanding of mental health, wellness, and climate change.

Family-focused: With Millennial parents tending toward conscious, involved parenting styles, Gen Alpha often grows up with more emotional awareness and structure.

Start Year: 2015
End Year: Estimated around 2024
Named by: Australian social researcher Mark McCrindle
Parents: Primarily Millennials or gen x
bob: "is that your little brother? what's his generation"

Garry: "his generation is gen alpha! he was born in 2015!"

Gen X 'Catastrophe'

Coming from (in)famous greentext repost, marks state where (wrongly) it is stated that "Gen X has it too good" and couldn't cope with it. Examples provided, were "1999 and Gen X Disillusionment" - citing Office Space, Matrix, Fight Club and maybe even Taxi Driver. While the reading of the example was more of "wtf, we had it best, no chit-chat, just work and no socialization, do job head out..." (akin to hyped-autism, than "open-offices DEI-disaster") than "I hate my office cubicles and meaningless rat-race job and life"...

Similar to Millennial Chiller, Millennieitis.
Adam: "Do you have bad tumblrism example I can use as meme?"
Beth: "Better! I have Gen X 'Catastrophe' !"
Adam: "How so?"
Beth: "GXC is... when you think how good you had it as "generation" akin to nowadays, in past; only to miss one important remark-"
Adam: "Yeah?"
Beth: "Imagine: you enjoy cubicle work for that you don't have to chit-chat!"
Adam: "Why not WFH then?"
Beth: "I guess they miss human contact..."
Adam: "Oh, so generally, it is missing 'mark', isn't it!?"
Beth: "Got it! UrbDic is tho more verbose on it!"
Adam: "I see! Good catch. Thanks!"
Beth: "Sure!"
