I think this is a good challenge. But also nobody here really proves or argued that millennials are uniquely nihilistic either.
The comment starting this thread had:
I am an "official" millennial, born 1989. One thing I have noticed (in an anectodical, personal and subjective way) is that my age bracket, especially those I would consider higher on an intelligence/success curve, appear to be so much more closet-nihilist than everyone else around.
I’d say the people in the beginning and end have a tangible resentment, and not necessarily an existential crisis. In other words, GenZ would be resentful of having to start fresh against the barbarian Millenial/Boomer horde, and Boomers would be resentful of any attempt at reformation where their scraps from the race would be worth less.
It’s only Millenials who would neither resent GenZ or Boomers because they were already GenZ once upon a time, and know they have to become Boomers to survive.
That would be my best argument for why Millennials are in some deep psychological shit.
Millennials already tried, found it didn't work, found it was for nothing, found it will never work because the systems of humanity don't allow for it.
GenZ believes in people. When they give up, they won’t give up on the system, they will give up on people. I’d keep a watchful eye on that development.
speak for yourself. I'm changing the world, one kind gesture at a time ^_^
