I propose that the Millennials now be none as Generation Education Free:

Learn nothing substantial and get pissed that you took out debt to pay for something that should be free.

[Alas Babylon!]

I still struggle with Australians calling a grill “Barbie”.

How so?

Bar-B-Q.

Barbeque.

Aussies like to shorten all kinds of words:

Arvo = Afternoon; Footy = Australian Rules Football; Maccas = McDonalds; Service station = Servo; Tinny = Tin can = beer...

And these are just a few.

Barby for Barbecue makes perfect sense in Straya.

What is an “OK boomer”? Is it a baby boomer who is dependable and measures up to standards or is it one whose accomplishments have been passable but not outstanding?

And I always thought of Karens as an ethnic group in Burma who have been waging a 70-year-long war against that country’s government. This thread is the first place I have seen members of generations referred to as “OK boomers” and “Karens.”.

Excellent post. One pull of the router power chord, one missed payment to the cell phone company, and I can bring her world crashing down. I have that power.

I just don’t care enough to use it.

They are truly the generation that just wants things given to them They don’t wanna have to work for anything, But they will go out and complain on the Internet about how the deck is stacked against them.

Now, think about that generation having to fight WWII. We'd have crumbled without raising a finger, and we'd all be deutsch sprechen

[Openurmind]

So it’s going to go to Gen A next? New cycle? :)

Curious... I dislike Millenials intensely as a rule, but my daughter is Gen Z... and she and her friends seem to be a lot scrappier and funnier. THEY even make fun of the snow flakes... anecdotal evidence, I know.

Still, I’m a part time high school teacher — and unfortunately, I’ve been dubbed “The Cool Teacher” — but the Z’s are a joy to teach.

Millennials should be called “Baby Doomers”.
The grousing twisted little whiners.
Suck it up, Doomers.

Systematic dehumanization is the first step to denying people their rights - and their lives.

And liberal colleges have been teaching kids for years (and growing more extreme in this regard) to hate their parents/elders for destroying the planet, oppressing X groups and hurting the kids in general.

That is why these young adults often honestly believe that they have to deny these “bad” groups the vote and want us to die.

“Ten years have passed and she is fat fat fat.”

My name is Karen and I’m not fat!

[A Navy Vet]

I’m getting lost. So which Generation are the millenials?

[grey_whiskers]

+1

[greatvikingone]

Whatever.

[tinyowl]

I don’t get it.

[gaijin]

Good clip, but Karen is 60 so she was born BEFORE 1964.

But good post, thank you, that was a good clip.

If Gen X is Karen that would make millennials Karen's vagina. I've never seen a weaker and less informed group of people.

[married21]

That would be me. And the Karen memes I have seen so far are really very funny.

[rockrr]

It does have a vaguely ominous tone to it, doesn’t it? Like “the last generation”...

Yes, the world ends in 11.3 years, no more generations.
