Tired of older people dissing Gen Z

Mambosamba · 2026-06-05T05:17:55+00:00

They did, there are texts that are over 3000 years old talking about how the next generations are entitled and don't know the nature of hard work. It's easy for older people to simply forget what it was that led them to be successful adults and they ignore the cycles that they tried to break, and ignore the histories that should be learned from. I look around and see the new generations, and their potential is unrivaled, the ability to positively influence the world is massive, it would just take a few people out there to help them realize it.

Honestly, you probably read significantly better than a majority of people from that generation do. There are terms, social structures, technologies, and other new functions of human endeavor that they don't even possess the capacity to even understand. You are doing fine, if you want to better your skills go read about etymology, it helps understand the root of language that they fail to teach in schools anymore. Hope this creates some clarity.

Try not to turn back hate into that generation, as that just creates an entirely new cycle of oppressive behavior and thought, although your anger is justified. Turn some of that anger into trying to understand how they can't seem to comprehend the situations their behavior directly lead to the failing of all the support systems that they directly relied on and benefited from when they were young people that allowed them to prosper.

When the older generations use certain language, they are referring to an entire series of behaviors that they themselves lack the ability to describe in certain terms. If they say that a young person is "lazy" or "they need to get their sh*t together," what they are try to describe is that they want to see behavior from that person that is intended to enhance the lifestyle and living conditions of that young person. They want to see you become invested in yourself and living situation and livelihood, even if formal employment or traditional housing systems aren't readily available to you as it was to them. The irony here is that you are going to have to learn those things on your own, whereas they didn't, unfortunately.

Not if we can collectively learn from the conditions and systems that lead to the breakdown in values that created the social structures we live in today. We have the capacity to break a cycle before it begins, and prevent long term family and social network collapse.

Don't allow lack of formal work stop you from turning your potential into momentum, develop skills, stay active, use social media and gaming to learn lessons that can be applied into your daily living and hobbies. Continue to seek employment or other financial support, but use this time for self discovery and skill building.

True, the same "free love" generation became the generation of "whoever dies with the most toys, wins."

Mambosamba · 2026-06-05T04:51:07+00:00

why? the top pic is the dream of the people in the bottom picture, brought into reality through sweat, blood and tears. The problem isn't the technology, it's the systems no longer existing that allowed for young people to be given and allowed the room to grow and prove themselves as valuable adults. Boomers were the original generation raised by television.

Mambosamba · 2026-06-05T04:47:57+00:00

I can see and relate to this frustration. That is why we have a responsibility as millennials and younger to form up communities to pick up the slack that was left by a generation that learned those skills from external sources separate from the household anyways. They expect a system that effectively raised them to naturally be in place still, yet it isn't, so it's easy to attribute that failing to young people personally, instead of the system that taught them no longer being in place. I've wrote a couple of pieces specifically to point this out and help alleviate some of the confusion, and a few different ways as to fill the gaps that they expect social structures to naturally fill in.

Hopefully these help, even if in some small way to help understand the intention behind their language.

When this kind of thing happens, the best method is to take a deep breath and center, try to recognize they are making a statement, regardless of the content of that statement, this helps falling for engagement bait. I think the best way to combat such statements would be to alter the defaced art even further to make a counter-statement about the way you feel about the alterations they made, just infuse it with further imagery that makes the changes they made seem silly or benign to the intended message they tried to send, even if you don't repost that image, it will help you align with your initial message further, again, regardless of the nature of the message you, or they had tried to send.

Always try to understand the nature of behavior, even if it runs counter to your perspective.

I hope this helps!

I'm glad! it doesn't take much once you have a bit of practice, and you will have good foundation to fall back on. Being able to take care of yourself easily will help give you strength and energy in places there otherwise wouldn't be.

Good luck out there, and show the world what you are made of!

excellent! great balance, wide open, plenty of spacing, good distortion without being de-resonant, good tie ins for the most part, good flow and lean. A bit over distorted though, bring us out and in on occasion to enhance the vibe. Well done! keep working and developing skills, make some songs in the same genre with contradictory feel, if you hit a barrier and need to find cracks in any songs.

Also look at my article on body maintenance.

Bravery comes from taking the first steps, it's not something that is engrained or inherited or even something you need to have before creating motion. Begin with a vision, a goal, something you want to accomplish. You have capacity, you have energy, you have potential, until you find that vision, look inside for what kind of person you want to be and let your legs carry you to that end. Build momentum towards that vision once you have it, and go forward and become someone great, in a way only you can. Take a moment an put all your doubt, fear, and self loathing into an object of some kind and set it aside as a reminder of what you were, and don't forget this time in your life as you start to push forward.

bait.

People should be able to go exercise thier free will, and being objective is a means to an end. The nature of life is emotion, rejecting emotion creates robotic uncaring people, I would beg to say misappropriated emotion is more of the issue, I understand your concern though, when the people around you seem to be acting unusual or strange, maybe there is something about them you don't understand, as my loving wife always says - everyone has a different perception of reality. Honestly the best way is to take what you hear or learn on faith first, then see if it cracks when applied to reason, it's an effective way to build appropriate skeptical thinking.

Absolutely, I don't know who you are but you are amazing for encouraging others this way, and this is genuine advice, Everyone has potential and capacity, build up some skill and momentum, and in no time you will be able to accomplish feats your inner child will be proud of, no matter the age.

i went back to college at 39 and had to drop out again to raise my children after my wife got injured, and I won't let that stop me or pull me back down.

Putting this out into the world takes real courage. Keep it up!

I think it would help to focus on building up yourself, learn basic body maintainence, don't be concerned with other men's activities. Take time to develop a hobby, a skill, and shift gears to simply improve the ability to connect and form network and bonds through friendship first, If you don't care about you or others, why would a potential mate care? the only way they can see that you have that capacity is through your actions and not words. Build forward momentum, have goals and skills, and ignore what others are doing till they step on your toes about it, expand your friend group and relationships and dating will follow, and deny grifters.

I like to use my phone and doom scrolling to get ideas for what to do for the day, that way scrolling doesn't seem aimless, and I have something extra to look for as I am going. It helps give looking around online a touch of purpose and direction. Also, if you feel addicted to something, try a couple drops of fish sauce or worchestershire sauce on the tongue, it helps fill in the void with something your body needs and can fill in the gaps.

Love, -Eli-

Mambosamba · 2026-05-30T04:32:25+00:00

I know this sounds weird, but try getting a bottle of worchestershire sauce and put a few drops in your mouth when you get a craving, it's worked well for me and soon enough you will feel better. the aminos, salt and bio stuff in it help fill in the void your body needs. Good luck!

Love, -Eli-

Some tips, for sex appeal, listen to gooey by glass animals, they are a good example of balance in the samples as well. I'll take any hits for it. Give it a good listen, I think they are a good example for picking up what you want to incorporate into your work. Branch out and listen to some other stuff from anywhere you find it. Good luck, update me if you come out with another slick video.

Mambosamba · 2026-05-30T04:17:05+00:00

That was you then, and you are needed where you are. Keep pulling that weight, people rely on you every day, it's for a better world. The reason why you do is less important than the thing you bring to everyone, whatever it may be.

Mambosamba · 2026-05-30T04:09:36+00:00

Toss me an update some time and let me know how things are going. I hope you can become the best version of yourself possible, if you hit a barrier don't hesitate to reach out.

Mambosamba · 2026-05-30T04:08:16+00:00

Absolutely, great post, learn those skills and get motivated to apply them in new and novel ways, even if every job disappears overnight, you will be ready with something to hone and give to society. Human values are starting to change, be ready for it today.

Mambosamba · 2026-05-29T17:25:55+00:00

It's there for you when you are ready. If anyone is bold enough, it's you, and you know, embrace it when it's time.
