Don’t blame the generation, it just makes you sound like an old man yelling “get off my lawn”.

I’m assuming that they are also Gen Z, with the whole college roommates thing.

I went to college at 29. And it really doesn’t matter how old you are, complaining about a younger generation makes you sound old.

Take it from a Gen Xer who’s heard The Greatest, the Boomers, and my own generation do it 😁

complaining about a younger generation makes you sound old.

Complaining about any generation, as if it’s a monolith, makes you sound small minded and ignorant. This is as true for older people as it is for the young. Many Gen Zers constantly blame all the world’s problems on Baby Boomers and seems to think all their troubles will magically disappear once the oldest living generation is dead and buried. They’re gonna be real fucking surprised the day they wake up and realize the only thing they ever accomplished socially with all that ageism was to normalize blind hatred of anyone over 40, which will be them before too long.

And, yes, I know that I’m unironically complaining about a generation in this post. Or at least a segment of them.

Did you also have just-out-of-highschool roommates though?

Also, fair on the rest of your point. Don’t have to be old to act old.
