a phenomenon that occurs when you have an unbroken chain of ancestors going back several generations, who have never experienced oppression, that prevents you from acknowledging the possibility that oppression may still exist for other social groups besides your own.
Karen doesn't understand why "all lives matter" misses the point, because of her generational privilege.

Get the Generational Privilege mug.When someone, usually a millennial or gen z, takes styles from generations past and claims it is original.
When styles from past generations come back into fashion. Must be from an older generation being worn by a younger person.

Girl one: oh my god, look how original this new outfit is, some standard 90s attire I am starting something amazing!
Girl two: your mom literally wore that same outfit, this is generational appropriation !

Get the generational appropriation mug.A myth. Used by far-left advocates as a way to make people think they’re being oppressed in America, despite everyone enjoying similar equal rights under the Constitutional Amendments. Also used to shame anyone who happens to be descended from Europeans; as well as a buzzword used to defend criminals by saying it’s not they’re fault that they commit crime, they’ve been “oppressed.”
Omg! Can you believe that criminal who robbed a bank at gunpoint just got shot?! Those whitey cops just can’t see past their generational privilege!!

Get the Generational Privilege mug.When your sister posts naked pics of herself on the internet, then claims you don't understand the industry she is in.
-Hey Fred, out in L.A., we use those pics for our industry, you just don't understand! There must be a Generational Gap.
-But Rebecca, you work in Social Media!

Get the Generational Gap mug.by Captain Unicorn May 8, 2003
Get the generational trifecta mug.The stealing of todays youths ability to live like the average American today. The cause of this is large trillion dollar government spending. Today we are robbing the futures of the current day American teenager, thier future kids, and maybe even their kids kids. Reason democrats and their need for big govenment.
Due to this socialism proposed by Obama we really have a case of generational theft on our hands! :(

Get the Generational Theft mug.A bullshit word made up by stupid negroes that dont know how to think for themselves. They will blame other people for their problems and proceed to destroy their own towns for no reason other than that a convicted felon died for not listening to the police.
I lectured someone on their generational privilege because I am a stupid nigger and dont want to own up to my own actions and do any work for my money.
