    Gen-X here. Leave our kids alone. Y’all are just mad you’re middle aged now. Believe me, been there.

      We are looking out for your kids. Just like everyone else looked out for us when we were teenagers on the internet: By mercilessly roasting us because what we were doing deserved to be roasted lol

      Being a teenager and being embarrassing is like the strongest connection in the world. If I ever had to take more advanced science classes in my poorly educated state, I’d tell you what kind of covalent or electron bond or something it was, but I didn’t. But trust me, being young and embarrassing is a rite of passage. They just happen to be going through it now.

        Oh, I know. My comment is meant to be tongue in cheek. Millennials are at that age where they are very sensitive about teaching middle age and it’s difficult to pass the opportunity to twist the knife. It’s payback for everytime a millennial told me they enjoyed Nine Inch Nails cover of Johnny Cash’s “Hurt”.

      As a millennial, I was involuntarily subjected to your terrible taste in fashion and music until my generation’s tastes took over.

      Of course it is your children who are resurrecting baggy jeans… you passed on your terrible taste to them. It is only a matter of time before they try to bring back Limp Bizkit too.
