I'm a millennial and I don't personally know any other millennials who do this to Gen z. I think the Internet attracts bullies and narcissists and it can make these ideas seem defining of a generation, but most of us are just normal people living our lives. Haters are gonna hate on whatever they think you're sensitive about, which often is based around what they're sensitive about.

I highly disagree that the âmajorityâ of millennials are shaming Gen Zâs looks. The ones youâre assimilating an entire generation to are the loud minority. Certainly not the majority. There are loud miserable people of all ages.
All of this âGen Z looks oldâ started years ago, when millennials started pointing out that Gen Z kids seemed to skip the awkward tween stage. They seemed to go from being little kids to young adults with no in between. It was a stark difference from the experience of most millennials.
The sentiment behind this talking point on behalf of millennials was 1.) clowning on our own awkward tween stage and 2.), most importantly, being sad that Gen Z was raised with the internet, influencers, and facetune, and were obviously pressured by high/fake beauty standards, thanks to capitalism, since they were kids.
It was never something millennials took glee in. Any other millennial Iâve had these discussions with feel sorry that Gen Z has been unfairly pressured and criticized since they were kids.
I canât imagine growing up with those standards being shoved down your throat 24/7. All we had to make us feel bad about ourselves were models in magazines and eventually the Kardashians. If it was injected into our brains at every moment by the device weâre connected to 24/7 since we were kids, well I just canât imagine. Yall have it a lottt harder in that regard.
Now this isnât to give a pass to the millennials talking đŠ about an entire generation and saying they look old. Thatâs disgusting and they are clearly miserable people. But please know that the actual majority of millennials do not share that sentiment whatsoever.

As someone whoâs best friend died at 25, aging is a privilege and blessing. I welcome every grey hair, every fine line, every wrinkle. Everything she never got to see in herself Iâm so blessed to be able to experience. Every single day we get on this earth and get to see our bodies grown and change is a gift

I also think that Gen z appear older because they do more procedures like lip fillers, botox and eyelash extensions from a very young age and we tend to associate this look to older women trying to look younger. Millennials didn't grow up with these procedures being so common and affordable so a lot of them didn't get into the habit of doing them. This is not to shame who does them or say they look bad I think its just a general perception like when you see someone young dressed in an antique style and they look older because we associate this style to older folks.

I haven't really noticed any of my millenial peers doing this. I guess we've talked about how younger people are looking more mature then we did in our teens and early 20s, but never to say they look bad. We just didn't grow up with as many beauty tutorials so our awkward phase lasted wayyyy longer. I guess this is one of those niche tiktok trends (not real life; shouldn't represent all millenials as cruel)

I have to say, you are really mean. There is nothing impartial about this. I'm a Zillenial myself, so right in between the two generations, and I must say that Gen-Z tends to be a lot more shamey than they think (ex. the hate on skinny jeasn, hating on how "old" millenials look). Yourself included

Funny how we don't seem to care how men are aging to the same degree we care about how women are aging....đŚ
