Generational tensions are being put under the microscope once again, this time with Gen Z throwing some shade at Gen X, dubbing them“the worst generation.”But right on cue, Millennial Laura High jumped into the fray with a clever and witty defense of her Gen X brethren. In a viral video, she quipped that Gen X might just look like the Boomers who figured out how to convert documents to PDF—a much-needed skill in today’s digital world.
High emphasized that Gen Xers don’t shout for attention; they prefer to lurk quietly and wield their revenge subtly, which is a lesson Gen Z might want to learn before making bold claims. With plenty of chuckles and community comments backing her up, it became clear that Millennials recognize the fierce undercurrents that lie behind the calm faces of Gen X. And let’s be honest, leaving peace offerings like VHS tapes and classic movie snacks might just be the only way to win them over!
As it turns out, Gen X has a playful side too, with their humorous but piercing suggestions for making amends. So, for all the younger folks out there: tread lightly. After all, lurking quiet kids have a way of surprising you, especially when you least expect it!
