There is a war that is raging. A debate that is necessary for the progression of our society: are
middle parts better than side parts? Hi it's Divya G. I make videos about books design and the media.
What does the g stand for today? The g stands for generational divide wider than Mrs Incredibles
hips. Those hips held a very strong woman. Those hips could end wars. I noticed a hickory bickery
going on on the internet and today we're talking about the fight between gen z and millennials but
before we do that today's video has been sponsored so kindly by Skillshare. If you
don't know what it is it's an online learning community with a lot of classes especially for
people who are creative and who are curious. I honestly love Skillshare it's like the crack
cocaine for people who like to be creative. You can explore loads of different skills,
improve the ones that you already have. It has a bunch of professionals who you might have seen on
youtube as well or you're just professionals from the industry teaching you their skills.
I've been using their classes to get better at drawing and I really want to try this one called
Create Collages That Tell A Story by Peggy Dean. I wanna get into this type of art and also I just
want to up my Instagram game. It's something that you can use to explore your creative side in your
own time there are no ads and I think compared to a lot of other subscription-based learning
platforms it's a lot more affordable especially if you get the annual plan because it ends up
to be around about ten dollars a month. If you think that this is something for you the first
thousands of my subscribers to click the link in the description will get a free trial membership
premium so you can check it out and get creative. There's a little tiff going on.
It's mostly made up. To sum it up gen-z are bullying millennials for having side parts,
wearing skinny jeans and using this emoji. And millennials who look like they could be called
Katy, Kathy and Katherine are just getting a little bit upset and they're getting mad
so they're making diss tracks about gen z. Gen z you can suck it! The father, the son and the holy
spirit. Let's start off with this first video where gen z is trying to cancel Eminem. What?
Gen z is trying to cancel Eminem. Gen Z's trying to what? Gen Z trying to cancel
Eminem. Cancel Eminem? I literally said that like three times yes Gen Z is trying to cancel Eminem
Listen little kiddies let me make it quite clear this man was around even before you
were here so what you're all mad cause the man was a lyricist while all your rappers
are a mumbling gibberish? no go ahead and shut your mouth better yet go and sit your
ass in time out cause boy was running laps even before you could walk hell boys been spitting
bars before you could talk so now i'm afraid you're null and void dear i'm afraid your opinion
don't matter here cause one day you'll grow up and see how everyone went and forgot about z
Kind of pops you know. Correct me if i'm wrong I didn't know we were trying to be hipster
with Eminem. Eminem being here before Gen Z isn't a revolution it's literally just how time works.
Gen z is trying to what? Gen Z is trying to cancel Columbus? Cancel Columbus? Just because Columbus
was before our time doesn't make it a solid argument and doesn't negate the fact that he was
literally a colonizer who enslaved and murdered a lot of indigenous people amongst other atrocities.
On the topic of Eminem it's not as if during the time that he was really big that the media
weren't absolutely slandering his lyrics. The gay and lesbian alliance against defamation launched a
strike against the rapper after he received his Grammy nominations criticizing his lyrics as quote
"sending messages that endorse hatred". As if they weren't rallying against gratuitous violence in
the media, sexual imagery and calling them satanic devil Illuminati worshippers. On the topic of
cancel culture, Gen Z will literally try and cancel anything. I do think that being
aware of, advocating for and being alert to social injustice is a really commendable
thing and it's something that is completely necessary. There are little pockets of gen z
or even millennials where they only hold people to this completely unrealistic standards,
but we also deny people the opportunity to learn from mistakes. Parts of it are so hyper-aware of
other people's feelings and emotions that it becomes almost unrealistic to expect the world
to look after you in this way. I think maybe we should firstly: stop idolising people but also
maybe just like let's just not give platforms to people who are absolutely disgustUSTING.
This one. And i'm proud to be a millennial with my side part and skinny jeans
and i won't be told what to wear or how to use emojis would you kindly shut the [ __ ] up
ain't nobody asked you for your opinion anyway here's a message from millennials to gen z stay
DUDE. Why is it so patriotic? Why is she like *whistles*. Most millennials are around about
their mid-30s right now and Gen Z are mostly like the teenage demographic so this woman around 30
something is literally telling teenagers to shut the f up about fashion trends... Girl
why are you so vexed? I don't take her seriously anyway because she's a person who will literally
fight more for a potatoes rights to pronouns. They won't even do basic things like respect pronouns.
I do believe it is your generation that is calling for the removal of Mr potato head you look pretty
young so I'm assuming that toy story came out roughly 15 years before you were born however
if you watch it Mr potato head corrects woody and he does say that he is Mr potato head, therefore,
he does identify obviously as a Mr potato head so why are we taking that away from him
sounds like disrespect to me. That does not mean that everything else and everybody else
that identifies as male or female correctly should have to conform to that because if we want to take
offence over everything well then I take offence to that. And then we have this one "hey gen z can
suck it. You can't tell me what to wear cause I've been rocking this side part since you had
Kermit on your underwear so cute and you can pry these skinny jeans from my cold dead ass you hear
so gen z you can't suck it you can't tell me what to oh you guys look grumpy you should take a nap"
A whole musical production. So the question is why are millennials so vexed? And I think it's
to do with the fact that they were really one of the first generations to grow up with access to
the internet like they literally were bullied so much and they also invented cyber bullying
themselves. Middle-class American millennials eating avocado and toast, using a hashtag,
watching BuzzFeed, loving pizza and wine like it's a personality trait. Where's the pizza?!
They were the children of the internet yeah once they used to define the trends and now
they're getting old, son. Generational hostility isn't exactly a new thing and it literally
dates back to the 4th century "Young people are high-minded because they have not yet been humbled
by life nor have they experienced the force of circumstances. They think they know everything
and are always quite sure about it" - Aristotle. A paper by Protzko and Schooler even claimed it to
be "a pervasive illusion of humanity" and part of the reason why we say "oh my god kids these days"
is because of a bias in our memory. When we think about our past self, we don't really accurately
remember what it was like to be young or what we thought or did at the time. A little bit of how
we are right now influences our perception and the paper also says that we're really good at noticing
the failure of others when we ourselves are good at the thing. So what does that mean? Personally,
i think that this means adults who might say like "oh kids these they're so so dumb" is
because they have the wisdom that they have now that they probably didn't have when they were
teenagers as well and I also think part of it is a cultural thing. It's just a baton that we pass on
to the next generation. Things like fashion and trends can be really cyclical and I think that
complaining about the next generation is too. Why are we fighting? Why can't we just unite over our
common enemy sticky iPad kids. What do you guys think about the whole gen z versus millionaire
things? Do you think millennials should stop being so vexed about it? Or do you think that
gen z should like back off and let people enjoy what they want to enjoy because isn't
that what they are advocating for like literally every day is like letting people be themselves?

boop That gen A don't know who one direction is and soon one direction will be considered classic
just deep it. Twilight? Classic. Harry Potter? Classic. JK Rowling ruined everything but
still... classic. Why can't we just unite over our common enemy? Capitalism. Common enemy?
Boomers. Over our common enemy:
Dan Schneider. Common enemy? Henry hoovers. That ish don't suck anything up. Over a common enemy?
Moths. You don't pay the rent. Come out of the closet. Come out of the closet, Moth. Over our
common enemy? Jeff Bezos, what are you doing with all that wealth Jeff Bezos? *reveals secrets
to the universe*. Our common enemy? Chihuahuas. The the rats of the dogs. Millennials are
upset that they become old that they're becoming cold and becoming old *beatboxes*
The whole thing about like "this existed before you were born it's a classic" it just reminds me
of the time when people used to be shocked that I didn't know things like the Beatles, or like
Fleetwood mac or AC/DC and the classics like Paul McCartney like okay Britney. I'm an immigrant.
I'm not gonna know your western classics, Britney. Why did you push me down the
stairs on my first day of school and knock my teeth out and now I got janky teeth Britney?
