It is interesting how I relate more with Gen Z than millennials.

  As a 92 baby I feel like a cusper. Cynical, jaded and ironic like Gen Y and X but I’ve grown up on/in the internet and the accelerated mass culture in which we live. Honestly in high school I felt like an oddball but I think I’d be normal if not cool as a zoomer since I was there at the beginning of most of the memes.

    I think a lot of millennial nerds grew up with the internet that a lot of their peers did not in many ways, but with gen Z grew up with the internet wether they liked it or not. We are the pioneers that created a lot of this cultural landscape. So millennial nerds feel closer to gen z in this way than other millennials do. We also developed a cultural immune system to a lot of the bad shit of the internet, like “don’t feed the trolls” and now seeing the rest of the world learn this immune system badly and slowly makes us say ‘oh no’.

      It's bizarre to watch, as a Millennial who got unrestricted internet access in 1993. I definitely have my 'oh no' moments. It does make me wonder what our social responsibility is here. As kids on the internet, most of our adults could be forgiven for not knowing what was going on, since they didn't understand the internet. We can see the trainwrecks coming, at least. Should we do something?
