Quit trying to impress children. Who gives a shit what their preferences are.

The gen that brought back mullets and serial killer glasses think my fashion choices are cringe?

I'll allow them to wear what they like and we'll both shut up about it, thanks.

Uh, who cares? Use what you want people

I look forward to inflicting terminal cringe on gen z

What I'm not understanding is letting kids dictate what's cool as if cool was ever dictated by anyone but me 😎

Me hearing that people give a shit what gen Z think.

I don’t care what the zoomers like or don’t like. Fuck them kids

Zoomer here. This is the first I'm hearing of this. Though this isn't the first time I've seen people make up bullshit to get mad at younger people.

As a millennial I'ma have to just come out and say it:

The way we're all pilling on gen-z and saying they're all dumb for this... It's giving Boomer. Not a good look.

Even assuming this was really posted by a gen-z, we can still do our own thing while they make whatever the new cool thing is. We don't have to try to be cool forever. We're old now, folks, it's ok

I understand using generations as an aid to statisticians dividing populations but using generations to generalise behaviour is weaponising age in a way that shouldn’t happen (as a test swap out a generation comment for a body type or your homophobic slang of choice)

The people who wear white socks with slides in public have something to say about my ankle socks? Get off my lawn, idiot kids.

If any GenZ want to know why I do uncool things even though you've attempted to educate me: it's because doing so makes you physically cringe like an ice cube down the spine and it's funny.

What's up with ankle socks?

Was just thinking I should get a couple more. They're perfect for running.

Reaction gifs were always cringe. Emojis are as well, the only cool emotes are text smileys >:|

why do you give a shit what gen z thinks? young people think calling everything cringe is a replacement for a personality. the best part of getting older is not giving a fuck. why are you doing this to yourself

(this isn't anything against gen z i only named them because of the original tweet, I'm speaking in general)

Caring what people find cringe is cringe. My response to my daughter when she says something I do is cringe I either say,"and" or double down. Don't let others dictate your little joys.

I realized I'd successfully gotten old when I was told ankle socks were out of style and didn't give a shit.

All the more reason to use them IMO

They took nothing you didnt give them

I like how these things keep coming out as if generations are a homogenous group

I work with Gen Z colleagues that use reaction GIFs, I also know millennials that find them cringe

People like different things, you will always be cringe to someone

The ignorance of op. They don't find reaction gifs cringe because they are inherently cringe, it's because you and people your age use them. Stop with the reaction gifs and something else you do will be singled out.

Ohh? gen z dislike reaction gif?

Embrace the cringe and live a truer self
