Each generation has habits and behaviors that following generations just…can’t stand. The world changes. Ideologies change. Yet, it seems that Millenials don’t flow with the times. At least, according to GenZers. Here are 12 things that Millenials do that GenZers say they need to let go of.
Oversharing on Social Media
In the initial days of social media, it seemed that everyone wanted to know what you ate for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. What movie you are currently watching and where you have just checked into. The thing with that is that…nobody really cares! Gen Z suggests that Millennials should reassess their approach to social media, opting for more selective and mindful sharing instead of oversharing personal details and experiences.
Ignoring Mental Health
Okay, mental health has always been an issue throughout generations. Yet, the stigma around it saw many people ignoring it. With GenZers, the priority is on self-care, emotional-wellbeing and reaching out for help rather that pushing through it without getting professional support.
Overuse of “Adulting”
“Adulting” was coined by Millenials in reference to going through the major stages in life, such as starting a family. It’s a term that is now ridiculed by both media and GenZers. Millennials are encouraged to embrace adulthood without the need to frame basic responsibilities as something special.
Sticking to Traditional Career Paths
Gen Z believes that Millennials should explore alternative career paths, embrace freelancing, gig work, or entrepreneurship, and prioritize passion and flexibility over traditional job security. In saying that, Millennials do job hop. It’s the Boomers that held on to the idea that the job you have is the one you stick with until you retire.
Being Afraid of Technology
With the rapid advancement of technology, Gen Z urges Millennials to be open to adopting new tools and platforms, ensuring they don’t get left behind in the digital age. One could argue that new apps and social media options crop up constantly, it’s hard to figure out which ones to use. Therefore Millennials take the easier option of sticking with what they know.
Neglecting Sustainability
While Millennials have shown concern for the environment, Gen Z suggests a stronger commitment to sustainable practices, including reducing waste, supporting eco-friendly brands, and promoting a circular economy. Go Greta Thunberg!
Settling for “Good Enough”
Sometimes sticking with what’s familiar can be comforting. There are no surprises. However, it can have your life stuck in a rut. Gen Z encourages Millennials to strive for excellence in all aspects of life, avoiding settling for mediocrity and pushing themselves to achieve their full potential.
Resisting Change
Change can be disruptive and scary. Yet, the world is in a constant state of flux. Gen Z advises Millennials to embrace change, whether it’s in politics, culture, or technology, and actively participate in shaping the future.
Neglecting Diversity and Inclusion
While Millennials have championed inclusivity, Gen Z calls for even greater efforts to create diverse and equitable spaces that amplify underrepresented voices and experiences.
Dismissing Online Activism
Gen Z recognizes the power of online platforms for activism and encourages Millennials to continue leveraging social media for positive change, amplifying important causes, and raising awareness. Yet, there is a major criticism that Millennials may point out about online activism: It’s simply a way for people to passively get involved in a cause. There is a placebo effect of having peace of mind while clicking on a button online.
Overconsumption of Material Goods
The trend towards sustainability only started around 1987. Gen Z is the generation most committed to the practice. This generation promotes a shift towards mindful consumption, advising Millennials to prioritize experiences over material possessions and make sustainable purchasing choices.
Fearing Failure
Gen Z believes Millennials should let go of the fear of failure, embracing it as a crucial stepping stone towards growth and success, and showing resilience in the face of setbacks. However, Millennials do shudder at the idea of failure. That’s due to the expectations placed on them by society.
Championing Change: Gen Z’s Farewell to Millennial Norms
Millennials will say that the accusations thrown at them are unfair. There is some truth in that defense. Each generation contains members who buck the trend that defines them. Interactions between generations provide invaluable opportunities for growth and learning. While Gen Z’s perspective on Millennials’ behaviors may offer constructive insights, it’s important to remember that every generation has its strengths and areas for improvement.
