Why are people telling Gen Z that they're going to be in charge?

They're never going to be in charge. There is simply no configuration in which they ever in any meaningful way end up being in charge.

That's just cruelty to let them keep thinking that they will.

I wonder if Baby Boomers ever pondered the same question with Gen X.

Here's a song meant specifically for Gen Z using their parents' music.

Eventually the rest of the boomers have to die off and one gay Gen X will as well.

R4: We never doubted that. Millennials were always going to be natural successors to the Boomers. Even poor, stupid Gen X realized that, thus the deep and dark layers of their resentment.

You have to show up to be in charge of anything

R7: We're here. We've been here. And we're not going anywhere. At least not until you're gone.

When I'm in a nursing home, Gen Z can be in charge of wiping my ass.

R9: HAA!!!!! That sounds amazing. Somebody should make a TikTok of that. I mean, it's their future after all.

Let's be Gen Z washing Gen X's ballsack!

Gen Z are the spoiled brats of the US and I’m fine with that.

I believe they will reform jobs. The whole “Americans work to death while Europeans live longer” thing is going to change.

R12 They probably need to hold a job before they can reform the job culture.

R2, the Baby Boomers were always worried about when Gen X got to be in charge, because they were so right-wing at such a young age.

And now...

R14: Just like us and our concerns with Gen Z.

It's a good thing that neither of these conservative BETA generations will ever reach political power. And it makes them both SO angry.

Gen Z is already depressed. They don't need more depressing reality on top of it.

by Anonymousreply 16September 6, 2025 8:04 AM

The oldest Gen Zers are only 29. It's way too early to write off that entire generation.
