The circle has already been broken, as ~zoomer, the vast majority of millennials I interacted with were really nice people.
I think boomers to millennials would make more sense. Boomers are so hateful and desperate to keep what was promised to them that they will hold on to it even if it costs 3 generations of people almost everything.
They were hating on us Gen Xers while we were still in grade school. Giving us shit for the participation ribbons, they imagined, designed, bought, and handed out to us
They invented participation ribbons and trophies, I'm almost convinced, just so they could give them to us millenials and you Xers on field day and immediately shit on us for involuntarily receiving them in fucking kindergarten as though we didn't hate how transparently bullshit they were. I destroyed mine in creative, almost ceremonial ways.
Let's normalise calling boomers the participation trophy generation
