It's arguably the first ever generational shift on the Internet at such a massive scale localized entirely within 5-6 websites that just keeps increasing year by year (could also just be average shitposting/trolling). There was most likely a few like this such as Eternal September before, but we've never had to deal with this at the scale it's currently at. So everyone is just at each others throats because it's what we do. We hate everyone who is different to us.
It also doesn't help that Millennials and Zoomers both have completely different experiences growing up gaming (as they should), interact with gaming in different ways and sadly share the same space in something that is changing so much. Gaming in the 90s and 00s is different to the 10s and 20s and both sides get mad at each other for the games that came out during each period.
It's why you get shit like this thread where OP is pretty much saying Millenials had a better gaming experience than Zoomers with nothing else to show for it but graphical progress and Zoomers clap back with the whole "clunky unc game", "needs remake" "thank god this shit got remaked frfr" or whatever. It's all so tiresome in the end.
Pic related is a post I think about a lot and I feel it's appropriate entirely for:
