    Millennials are older than Gen Z. Why would a Gen Z’er be sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper? Gen Z would be born between 1997 and 2012, these people basically grew up online.

      I suspect the author meant Gen X, but was too busy laughing at their own joke to bother checking which generation is which

      Gen z are all about the retro stuff they didn’t grow up with

        Millennials: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that’s when they were growing up.

        Gen Z: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that’s when there was still some hope in the world.

        Gen alpha: not old enough yet to be nostalgic (but will probably be nostalgic for the pre-trump/pre-covid days of the US).

    The joke may have merit, all generations have their lingo but it does seem to have gotten extra meme-ish as of late, but the labels are all wrong. Millennials are the old ones, the meme language speaker should be labeled as Z (which came after millennials) or Alpha (came after Z, born 2010-2025.)

      Except it doesn’t, because it’s gen z’s lingo. This comic is just all wrong.

    As an older millennial, I wouldn’t know what they mean either.

    I’ve met more zoomers who talk like that than millennials tbh.

      Yeah my millennial girlfriend does not talk like that nor do her friends. That’s more juvenile speech and millennials are creeping into late stage adulting at this point and past that nonsense.

      Signed… GenX

    Shouldn’t Gen Z know what a ‘Spicy X’ is though
