Gen Z Is Roasting Millennials With Laser-like Precision
When Generation Z came for Boomers, Millennials laughed, for they feared not that the sword would one day be drawn on them.
However, Millennials' day of reckoning has come, as a recent series of tweets, TikToks and comments documented by internet journalists, many of whom are millennials themselves, who themselves completely roasted.
The trend began, as most Gen Z trends do, on TikTok. There, user @mayalepa posted a video saying she was tired of Boomers lumping Millennials and Gen Z together, because she "didn't want to be associated with a generation that thinks Harry Potter movies are a personality.
@mayalepa inspired by @wholesam
Comments beneath the video showcased a load of brutally, painfully accurate roasts of the millennial generation. "They be 34 talking about 'I'm a Hufflepuff,'" said one commenter. "Like grow up and do a line of coke already."
The comments were documented by Twitter user @local__celeb, bringing Gen Z's true feelings about Millennials to Millennials' attention.

The hallmarks of Millennial buffoonery are all there. Doggos, Buzzfeed quizzes, Adulting: every embarrassing trend Millennials engage was nailed perfectly by the generation that grew up in their wake. And Millennials, for the most part, agreed.

It seems the future of generational bullying is in good hands. And if you're a Millennial reading this, take it from me, one of your own kind: we must do better.
