- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

gen z here. I genuinely think most millennials are cool asf. y'all took the brunt of the hate from older generations for us. I just hope we can pay it back somehow in the long run
While I appreciate the sentiment, I honestly think us Millennials just did our time in the barrel and now it's your turn. My evidence: I use Firefox, by default it congregates a bunch of "news" articles from around the web (via Pocket, I think. Whatever the fuck Pocket is) and here's a headline from Elle I'm looking at on my other monitor as I type: "Is Gen Z Killing Vintage Fashion?" You are The Demographic now, so there's going to be about 15 years of exactly that bullshit to roll your eyes at.
I'm so glad I'm not being blamed for the decline of a shitty industry no one else took part in either, otherwise it wouldn't have failed.
Yeah, now it's more like "are gen Z killing X industry?"
me: "God I fucking hope we are"
From everything I've seen, you will. Just keep working for what's right and good.
I'll help zoomers all I can to have a better future politically
