I feel no connection to the "culture" of today. I vibe with 80s/90s more then any broccoli hair cut and Billie eyelash shit.
I hate the slack jawed lifeless look most young females have, I HATE tiktok. I hate situationships. I hate how trannies and influencers are the "heroes" of Gen z. I hate Mr beast. I hate the only two choices are woke or maga. I HATE the fact the country is 90% browns. Etc

Wait, why do zoomers feel this way?
I was alive in the 1990s, it wasn't that great. It was better then today sure but it wasn't better culture, I'm sorry but Cristina agulera and NSYNC weren't the height of culture.

idk as a older millenial borderline gen X, I think you would've been mad at or otherwise felt disconnected from loads of thing circa 1999.

I remember how music nerd gatekeepers were absolutely FURIOUS at nu-metal bands, almost every guy regardless of whether he listened to rap music or techno or metal just had to wear baggy pants with a chain wallet and skater shoes, paris hilton saying "that's hot", boy bands and pop-punk which was also essentially boy bands except they played guitar, ska kids, etc.

I think it's clear most generations don't hate their own as much as zoomers do. Give them credit, they know theirs is worse.

nah, there's always gonna be some Le Wrong Generationers in every generation or at least people who are mad about something or other about their own generation.

Like there's still one guy at least who pops up here and there on various boards whenever 2000s emo kids and mallgoths are brought up he's still seething to this day

>Those people? Those people were GAY LOSERS they were absolute NEEEEERDS just a bunch of REJECTS

and meanwhile it was the easiest way to get laid with slutty hot girls. Just wear a Korn shirt and/or listen to My Chemical Romance - you had to keep the pussy away from you.

True there will always be such people, but I still think zoomers are less satisfied and I haven't seen as many "wrong generation" posts in the 2000s. Because as you put it yourself, there were some great advantages.

Serious Answer:
Its the black culture the establishment pushes on genz.
>gen-z slang is basically black vernacular.
>"le white men bad" narrative
>the anti-romance but pro-hedonism of blacks (just look at sinners movie if you're in doubt).
>women as "powerful" (rude selfish cunts) is a black thing
>life revolving around attention, flauting status and money is a black thing
>the lazy "I'm not lifting a finger to help myself or others" is a black thing
>the woman-hating performative masculinity (red-pill) is typical black ideal of masculinity ("fuck dem bitchs dey ain't shieet")
>etc
Look I'm not being a chud racist, but the truth is white people actually like white people things. Just like black people like black people things.

I never understood this phenomenon. I listen to nightcore, chiptune and vocareamo. Don't you think I would have suffered if I was born in another period magically? Nothing of the stuff I liked would have been around.

>oh noooo I wish I could have been a Victorian England gentleman
It's as alien to me as that.

There were better tv shows, better movies, better music, better video games, and people had a longer attention span. Nowadays, so many people act retarded on purpose.

Don't think that's what the anon said at all. They just meant it's not as bad as before.

I do cultural anthropology, you forgot more cons of the 1970s:
>fuck tons of serial killers
like 100 times more then today
>blacks/asians/hispanics were poor AF
Most blacks/asians/hispanics are lower middle class today, but back then they were truly poor AF.
>society EXPECTED women to fuck any guy who was nice to them no matter how ugly or loser he was
sure this was GREAT for sub5s but not so much for women
>fights
no one sued or called the cops, you were expected to fist fight anyone who wronged you, and whoa be to you who is weak.
>diets
People ate shit like hamburger helper with kool-aid while smoking and drank booze every day. They died at like 62yo.
>Disco
Sure there are a few good ones but most of it sucked (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OAyOWa2LQM )
>90% of 1970s rock was shit
No really, most of it was corny ass easy listening shit (like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EujDVd89YXs )
>lead based cars and pipes everywhere dropping everyone's IQ's by 10 points

>like 80% of gen Z is extremely lonely that's why I hate this generation
Strauss-Howe predicted how gen-z would be back in late 1980's:
>grow up sheltered, becoming anxious and depressed
>have an intensely dissatisfied coming of age and young adulthood
>be sexless and lonely under poor economic conditions
The theory is that generations are reactions to previous ones, so they predicted Gen-Z would get ALL of the "fall out" of baby boomer generation. So:
>boomers had "free love" = gen-z gets none
>boomers were druggies = gen-z would be sober
>boomers loved living in the real world = gen-z would hate the real world
>boomers loved themselves = gen-z hates themselves
>boomer had a great economy = gen-z had terrible economy
A gen-z type generation happens every 250 years (the last one was the "interior generation of 1680-1700, so called because they spent all their time indoors), it's basically the most unlucky generation you possibly be born into, BUT the good news they tend to have good old ages.

Victorian times was basically just upper middle class English culture being dominate. If you like it so much move to a small town in England, that overly polite stuffy culture still exists there.

maybe you didn't see many posts (mostly because less people were online) but the subcultures really spoke for themselves. Loads of kids tried to LARP as 80s metal kids with jean jackets and crusty mustaches and even mullets, loads of kids were also only into 1960s rock while also wearing tie dye shirt pretending to be hippies, there was that entire subculture of Rockabilly and also psychobilly where the dudes all dressed up like the cast of Grease and the women all looked like fat 1950s bitches, and then hipsters showed up towards the end of the decade where they wore newspaper boy hats and only used rotary phones at home.

I hate gen x for being the "fuck you mom and dad" generation. When I imagine gen x, I imagine someone totally washed up, divorced, and with health problems becaus they spent their entire youth doing drugs and partying. Oh and they're proud of it and wonder why young people aren't doing the same.

As a gen Z, I actually am loving the new culture. The 80s and 90s were actually pretty fucking lame as far as I'm concerned. They were the origins of the 2000s and 2010s but were mediocre and unpolished.

However, yes. I do hate the political choices right now. I do hate TikToc. But I really liked the internet too. 2008-2015 was peak. Then, it's like the internet folded over on itself and all the beautiful utopian futures and horizons it promised became perverted memes and ragebait slop. The pokemon games were the best. Minecraft was the best. Roblox was coming into its own. WoW was still relevant. Don't get me wrong, the 90s were probably "better" for normies, but I have assburgers.

The biggest pro of 2025 is that now you're actually free to let go. There's no human component of living. There's no real life community to worry about. Nobody actually gives a shit about you and they've "offshored" their shits to give to some guy in Indiana or across the ocean instead of you right in front of them.

There's nothing left to gain anymore. Life is a joke. Old millennials and beyond don't seem to understand just how over it is. Now is the time to have your AI gf. Now is the time to give up on getting a life. Now is the time to listen to your soul and do whatever the fuck you want. Happiness isn't expensive, but living a decent life sure is and a joke. Today is the day that autism and mental illness reign supreme, and victory is just another form of loss. So go fuck off. Do something else.

this is objectively terrible and everything you have listed is awful and to thing any of this is good is a mega, giga cope. Just accept it, 2025 and the zoomer generation fucking suck and this timeline is fucked.
