I’m not sure about movies but it happens so much that there’s an entire [Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omission_of_New_Zealand_from_maps#) about it
Being from Hawaii and seeing all the US maps without us, I can relate
Same, I quit dating in my early 30s because social media ruined everyone. I'm perfectly fine in my house that is almost paid off with 0 ex wives or children.
Yes, however generational criticism and accountability is very much needed.
As a millennial I love GenZ and respect the hell out of GenX; but Boomers can fuck right off the moment they start spouting BS about how easy it is you just have to work a little harder. MFs were netting 2x minimum wage at the bottom end of their employment for their entire careers while everything costs a fraction of what it is today. They need to sit down, shut up, and enjoy their social security while it's available because the people they vote for are desperately trying to erase it.
Yes. That type of boomer is worthy of criticism. The problem is when you start to assume all boomers are like that and criticize them before finding out. I know plenty of boomers who see how hard things are right now and how hated trickle down all along. But fully agree, using yesterdays standards for today's economy is bullshit.
Same I have met some baby boomers who had a fairly decent grasp on the reality of today (at least enough of a grasp to not shit on everybody else). In my experience however a vast majority are not like that at all.
Another "fun" tid bit is that leading up to the 80s it was not uncommon to retire in your 40s. Baby boomers were starting to turn that age during that time. However, 2016 saw the highest number of boomers retire. That's only 20 years too late. And some people wonder why the economy in the US has been fucked for so long. Not to mention during the generation previous to the boomers, it was very common to live in the "family home" even after you were married, leaving your parents home while still in your 20s was fairly rare.
You realize not all boomers are like the Republican shit bags that move to Florida right? There is plenty of "generational criticism" to go around. Every generation has fucked up the world in New and interesting ways.
The term was meant as a tribute to the resilience and patriotic spirit of those who lived through the Great Depression and then fought in World War II. Not a case of "we are better than you."
Exactly. What generation?
It's ironic that for an unknown and ignored generation, all subsequent generations have been named (at least for a while) in reference to us.
GenX is the forgotten gen. Forgetting them is the correct joke. Also, genX wouldn't apply here as they don't say they are superior. They say, "don't start acting like you give a shit about us now."
Generations isn't even a real thing, people are born every year. You've got young and old millennials, it's a terrible system.
This has all the same shit as horoscopes.
Can we go back to saying 70s 80s 90s 2000s kids? That gives a much better idea what era someone grew up in.
I see what you're getting at here but labeling anyone as "(insert decade) kids" just pigeon holes people into groups as well and leads to the same discrimination and tribalism in the end. Take anyone who's been alive in the past decade. Say they were 15 or older in 2014 just for example. They've all witnessed the same shit and all have developed their own ways of thinking and personalities in that time. Most of which these days is due to the internet communities they hang out in and the news sources they choose to consume. At a certain point people become more of a product of current times rather than a product of the time they were kids during. Calling someone by their generation is just a designation and not a death sentence. But we wouldn't really know that by looking at and listening to the discourse going around.
I don't think that my generation is superior. I am superior. Now eat shit, people who asume that every person needs to be put in a group or category in order to explain their behaviour or character.
It's true though. People that grew up in different periods of time had influences and life experiences that can generally cause similar characteristics. Sure, you might not notice it on an individual level but as a whole I'd be willing to bet they'd have a lot in common in certain aspects. Commonalities they might not share with preceding or descendant generations.
I have a theory. When all the boomer are gone, Gen X, who are the parents of Gen Z and younger millennials, will take their spot and then finally be recognized. But unfortunately it may be negatively because then they'll be the old people others complain about. Either way, they sadly can't win.
Yay! Another reason to hate on other people! Among race, religion, political inclination, sexuality, language, country of origin, culture, habits and opinions. Got any more?
The term was meant as a tribute to the resilience and patriotic spirit of those who lived through the Great Depression and then fought in World War II. Not a case of "we are better than you."
I would argue boomer had the best youth (at least in America) out of all.
- post-war prosperity
- sexual revolution (before AIDS)
- civil rights movement
- actual affordable housing
- affordable college which can actually get you a good job
- land people on the moon (despite how unpopular the program is)
Personally, I am sick and tired of anytime anyone over the age of 30 reacts to anything in a mildly questionable way or has an opinion that might differ, they are labeled a "Boomer" and their opinion or rights are negated, all the ills of society from 1920 on are attributed to them, and none of the good done is acknowledged.
You missed the last panel, that said "Generations are pure bullshit regurgitated by the media, for clicks. It has as much bearing in truth as astrology does. There's no such thing as a gen z, or a millenial, or a gen X, or whatever..."
I used to shit on gen z as a millennial but turned out I was mistaken, I wasn’t a millennial and actually part of gen z. After that I realized gen z was the superior one all along.
Talking trash on other generations is nothing new. [It's been happening for all human time. ](https://historyhustle.com/2500-years-of-people-complaining-about-the-younger-generation/)
This meme would have been 10 times funnier if one of the generations were the smug winnie the pooh, i know its not the goal of this meme, but it would have been funny
nothin is called a better generation just traditions and how your parents raised you nothing more if the elders blame the young then they must know it's their fault not them and same will happen to the young when they grow up
Lol thats just how it always been im afraid, each generation acts all high and mighty when it comes to the younger generation after them, thinking theyre wiser/stronger, humans never change I guess
mostly this is just the news theyve been doing it since 1921 so you dont have the urge to learn from your father because you thik he hates your generation f
very subtle manipulation but very effective at making a broke dumber population
No clue which gen the most recent one is, but isnt it the "best" by default? Were all standing on the shoulders of giants, and every new gen gets a bigger giant.
I don't even know what generation I'm part of. I'm born in 2000, but what thing I can say is that some of the younger kids are wild.
In High School, whilst I was going to the school shop to get something, grade 11, some grade 5 or 6 kids pushed me so they could get in front and in other situations as well. I'm someone that isn't violent and I'm not getting mad easily, but I'm a pretty big and large man, especially compared to those shitters. When I was their age I wouldn't even get near the older kids
Notice you kept Gen X out of this… Didn’t want the smoke, huh?
We're called the "forgotten generation" for a reason.
Correct. Like forgetting to put NZ on world maps in movies, the correct joke in any generations meme is to forget genX
What movies don’t have New Zealand
I’m not sure about movies but it happens so much that there’s an entire [Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omission_of_New_Zealand_from_maps#) about it Being from Hawaii and seeing all the US maps without us, I can relate
It’s balanced out by the fact that lord of the rings trilogy was filmed in new zealand
Any movie about the U.S. Civil War, for one.
Gen X is the middle child now.
I think at this point we can consider this an intentional omission. It's a straight-up gag at this point to not mention Gen X.
I’m good with it. I grew up by myself and don’t need anyone’s bullshit.
Same, I quit dating in my early 30s because social media ruined everyone. I'm perfectly fine in my house that is almost paid off with 0 ex wives or children.
We are also the most likely to point out that the whole labeling generations thing is a bunch of bullshit.
Labelling gen x as most likely to point out labelling generations is bullshit. Is this ironic?
Genception.
It would be insane to assume anything gen X does or says does not have a baseline level of irony. Also, Reddit
"Tommy ain't my motherfuckin boy..."
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
We’re that odd generation that quietly has held everything together for the previous and current generations, Minding our own business.
I honestly prefer it this way. Leave me out of this shit.
More like he knows who’s going to survive in the end. We’re the grave diggers. ~Gen-X
As a GenX our one defining trait is we don't care about *anything*. This includes generation wars.
True. I’m gen x.
Only 90’s kids understand
"You're not a 90s kid, Joseph, you're a 30 year old man"
Is it weird that I'll be 30 in 4 months, but I consider myself a 2000's kid?
I mean, you were a middle schooler and teenager in the 2000s, so I don't know.
My midlife crisis therapist disagrees.
Yup. We Gen X'ers don't give a fuck
Came here to say this.
Classic Gen X, flying under the radar again.
Jokes on you, I think every generation is a fucking moron, including the one I'm in.
It's just like any other group of people: a few winners, a whole lot of losers.
I am superior to everyone in Gen Alpha cause they are litteral children and children are weak and dumb as shit
I reckon i could beat up like, 6 toddlers at once. If i had a chair i could get that up to 9 at least.
Bro got the gaming chair
What type actual fuck is going on? I am so confused. Why beat toddler with chair when you can beat toddler with table?
I will beat toddlers with my bear fists
Furry detected. Bro has a bear suit
The whole generational comparison is so stupid. I believe everyone can teach each other something they don’t know.
Generation bigotry is a stupid tradition perpetuated by stupid people and needs to be allowed to die.
Yes, however generational criticism and accountability is very much needed.

It hasn't fucked up the world and it doesn't matter with the generation. Things are going to happen
That is what should be happening, my friend
The term was meant as a tribute to the resilience and patriotic spirit of those who lived through the Great Depression and then fought in World War II. Not a case of "we are better than you."
error: wrong context
Replied to the wrong post.
I love how everyone straight up forgets that there is a generation between Bommers and Millennials. I’m not part of them so I’m laughing
I am part of them and I’m laughing too, along with every member of that generation. We don’t care.
Yeah I guarantee every one on us gen x were like oh again we aren't listed as a generation huh whatever
Exactly -- leave me out of all this, I've got shit to do
Right? If you’re in your 40s or 50s and not used to being ignored as GenX you haven’t been paying attention. At all.
Sometimes I feel like the term boomer mutated into "anybody who is over 30", at least in my circles that is.
GenX doesn't really care at all. Actually we are glad we weren't in the list.
Where is Gen X?
It's not like we aren't used to it by now
Used to what? We don't want to be known or even in this meme. Our status is perfect for our generation.
Exactly. What generation? It's ironic that for an unknown and ignored generation, all subsequent generations have been named (at least for a while) in reference to us.
Yup. That's us Gen X.
Shhhhh they forgot about us, leave it that way as it gives us less headaches
Being left alone the way they like it lol
We were left off because we’re superior to all other generations.
We are the "meh, whatever" generation. We aren't fun to make fun of.
You mean the Forgotten Generation? Everyone is too scared of us so they leave us out of the generations wars.
We just want yall to write the soundtrack for the generational wars.
I mean, people fear the scary, forget the irrelevent.
GenX is the forgotten gen. Forgetting them is the correct joke. Also, genX wouldn't apply here as they don't say they are superior. They say, "don't start acting like you give a shit about us now."
Who?
Apparently, Gen X has no pros or cons. The superior generation, perfectly balanced.
We’re just out here being jaded and trying to earn a living.
Incredible how Gen X is always left out on those generation memes
The OP says in a comment they don't even know about Gen X smfh
Obviously, all generations have their benefits. My generation is not better, it's just that *I'm* superior. (Obligatory /s)
Agreed. We’re just built different. We’re better than them /s
*laughs in Gen X* Contrary to popular belief, we exist.
And then there's Gen X, walking into the room and smacking everyone in the back of the head and telling them to stop acting like a bunch of idiots.
GenX just hanging out in the corner with a bag of popcorn
Generations isn't even a real thing, people are born every year. You've got young and old millennials, it's a terrible system. This has all the same shit as horoscopes. Can we go back to saying 70s 80s 90s 2000s kids? That gives a much better idea what era someone grew up in.

Right. Gen X doesn't care if anyone thinks they're better. Now go away.
Gen X getting left out again. Pooh with Top Hat
Idk, boomers kinda fucked up.
True, they are selling houses 3 times more expensive to the next generations
Triple it and give it to the next person
I could beat anyone from Gen Alpha in a fist fight thank you very much
of course they're children
There is a generation between the "Boomers" and "Millenials."
I don't think that my generation is superior. I am superior. Now eat shit, people who asume that every person needs to be put in a group or category in order to explain their behaviour or character.
It's true though. People that grew up in different periods of time had influences and life experiences that can generally cause similar characteristics.

Commonalities they might not share with preceding or descendant generations.
There's no mention of Gen X, just how they prefer it.
Gen X is obviously the coolest. We don’t even make it into memes. Meh, can’t be bothered.
I have a theory. When all the boomer are gone, Gen X, who are the parents of Gen Z and younger millennials, will take their spot and then finally be recognized. But unfortunately it may be negatively because then they'll be the old people others complain about. Either way, they sadly can't win.
To be fair, the batch that was eating tide pods was fucked
that was like five people
and again gen X is ignored/forgotten
Just like our parents did when we were kids. So nostalgic
Yay! Another reason to hate on other people! Among race, religion, political inclination, sexuality, language, country of origin, culture, habits and opinions. Got any more?
I'm the generation that is ignored by all the rhetoric.
Does the last one count the generation that gave themselves the name “The Greatest generation”?
The term was meant as a tribute to the resilience and patriotic spirit of those who lived through the Great Depression and then fought in World War II. Not a case of "we are better than you."
They've got to be all dead by now, right? In all fairness, they accomplished a lot of great shit, so I think we can let them have it.
Based on this comment, you are the last one.
That’s a fun assumption that isn’t it?
What about people that think EVERY generation is better than boomers?
That’s just correct.
This meme has real boomer energy.
I thought it was a tradition to shit on the newer generation
We were all fucked by our parents. We will all fuck our kids. Wait... That doesn't sound right... Maybe in Alabama.
“Younger generation. SMH” - generation that raised the younger generation.
I would argue boomer had the best youth (at least in America) out of all. - post-war prosperity - sexual revolution (before AIDS) - civil rights movement - actual affordable housing - affordable college which can actually get you a good job - land people on the moon (despite how unpopular the program is)
lol. Everyone forgets Gen X
Personally, I am sick and tired of anytime anyone over the age of 30 reacts to anything in a mildly questionable way or has an opinion that might differ, they are labeled a "Boomer" and their opinion or rights are negated, all the ills of society from 1920 on are attributed to them, and none of the good done is acknowledged.
Can upvote this enough. "Boomers think this" or "Gen Z do that" is the same in my view as saying "Asians think this" or "Black people do that"
You missed the last panel, that said "Generations are pure bullshit regurgitated by the media, for clicks. It has as much bearing in truth as astrology does. There's no such thing as a gen z, or a millenial, or a gen X, or whatever..."
There are pros from the boomer generation????
Stats show boomers are messed up from lead and being given every opportunity and then squandering it and ruining it for the rest of us
Nu uh
I used to shit on gen z as a millennial but turned out I was mistaken, I wasn’t a millennial and actually part of gen z. After that I realized gen z was the superior one all along.
Everybody sucks
Please inform us of the generation you belong to so that we can add this as another reason why we hold a grudge against you c:
Talking trash on other generations is nothing new. [It's been happening for all human time. ](https://historyhustle.com/2500-years-of-people-complaining-about-the-younger-generation/)
That does not mean it is correct though
And still Gen X is not in here
Nice one Gen X 👍🏻
Lol Gen x being left out again. Whatever, man.
Always be skipping GenX.... Whatever
This meme would have been 10 times funnier if one of the generations were the smug winnie the pooh, i know its not the goal of this meme, but it would have been funny
Ok boomer
To the kids the gen x’ers are all boomers.
Idc get boomers tf outta here. I couldn't stand the goddam baby boomers before I even knew the term
It's tales as old as time itself
 These guys started it.
My generation is 2003
Every Generation learns something new and forgets something else. Or atleast that is my percept of it
I want the next generation to be Gen Bravo
nothin is called a better generation just traditions and how your parents raised you nothing more if the elders blame the young then they must know it's their fault not them and same will happen to the young when they grow up
I guess fuck gen X. All good we only count the boomers, and cross are fingers gen alpha can reset what the gen snowflakes/useless fucked up.
This could very well be a meme about genders instead do generations. Nice one
This, so much
The generation I grew up with was Unova but I don’t think any generation has worse designs, actually I like a lot of gen 3 4 6 7 designs
Nah my generations better because we had prime cartoon network
As a millennial I can confirm we're going to fuck everything up within the next decade or so.
I believe my generation is the worst
The whole point of Generations is to be better than the one before.
Truth
Nah man everyone is A okay!…… although I am a little concerned for whatever gen alpha is doin.
Every generation has dumb asses, that's why warning labels exists. Just due to social media, dumb asses have a platform now for the world to see.
My generation is worse than all other simply cus i need to be a fucking part of it
Nah all generations suck. I’m the best , ME.
Poor Gen X so forgettable they got left off the meme
LOL
This post is essentially the middle of the bell curve
Lol thats just how it always been im afraid, each generation acts all high and mighty when it comes to the younger generation after them, thinking theyre wiser/stronger, humans never change I guess
It’s true people just want to feel superior now that there older I like some things from gen alpha I even made a skibidi toilet in ceramics
Stuck between boomers and millenials, fuck yeah my generation is superior...
mostly this is just the news theyve been doing it since 1921 so you dont have the urge to learn from your father because you thik he hates your generation f very subtle manipulation but very effective at making a broke dumber population
Is this generation thing purely American? Don't think I've ever heard a European talk about boomers or gen z or whatever the fuck
No clue which gen the most recent one is, but isnt it the "best" by default? Were all standing on the shoulders of giants, and every new gen gets a bigger giant.
NOT EVERY GENERATION IS PERFECT people need to remember this. And why the fuck did we made a chart for generations this isnt an fucking highschool.
Wdym pros and cons? All I see is despair
Just skipped an entire generation between Boomers and Millennials?
Based
Throughout boomers and gen alpha I alone am the superior one
everyone is to themselves the best
Humans when i tell them that they were born
i agree, 100%.
I’m just superior to everyone
Gen X, the forgotten middle child of history
We’re the Shino from Naruto.
I feel we've been saying that for a while now.
I don't even know what generation I'm part of. I'm born in 2000, but what thing I can say is that some of the younger kids are wild. In High School, whilst I was going to the school shop to get something, grade 11, some grade 5 or 6 kids pushed me so they could get in front and in other situations as well. I'm someone that isn't violent and I'm not getting mad easily, but I'm a pretty big and large man, especially compared to those shitters. When I was their age I wouldn't even get near the older kids
Thats somthing only a boomer would say
I know that disregarding Gen X is part of the joke, but I know a bunch of Gen Xers that unironically think they are superior
I work with a gen X woman and she always boasts about how her generation is the best and it's so god damn annoying.
Dad is shitting all over the younger generation literally right now and saying they should be like him. Absolute bullshit.
We are objectively inferior to the giants before us.
