We early 2000 borns get accused for wanting to associate with older but I never see people accuse you guys for wanting to associate with younger. Hypocrisy to say the least. I agree with you it’s unsettling to see but I attribute it to insecurities but also to ageism and generationism. In reality you have bunch of similarities with them and and the dynamic between you work out pretty well on a large scale. Some forget that because of the generational war wrong labels have been thrown around stereotyping individuals from both generations and highlighting made up differences in a way that some will now say that they feel or worse identify with a generation when in reality it’s just a plot media and companies uses to create an imaginary cohort of emerging young adults that somehow should be different from those preceding them. In that way they create a consumer attitude and flush out what’s worn out. Now the new fresh generation can form a new identity with tons of new brands, products and media.
