Gen Z Vs Millennials (Gen Y) War On Twitter, Who Won?

What a great war to wake up to on a Friday morning. To think that Generation Y (Millenials) and Z picked today to roast each other on Twitter after they teamed up together to fight against police brutality in October 2020 is incomprehensible.

But trust Gen Z to always bring a Bazooka to a knife fight.

First of all, let’s go through the generations.

So far, the six living generations are:

Silent Generation: Those who were born from 1927-1945 belong to this generation.

Baby Boomers: These ones were born between 1946 and 1964. They are the pioneers of Nigeria's independence. The oldest of them should be turning 75 and the youngest 57 in 2021. Call them the 'Gone are the Good Old Days' generation.

Gen X: This set of people are born between 1965 and 1980. They are the ones who call ‘WhatsApp’ ‘Wozp’ and can be held responsible for all those WhatsApp broadcast that takes ages to read. The oldest is turning 56 while the youngest of them is turning 41 in 2021.

Gen Y or Millennials: Born between 1981 and 1994. The 2go and Blackberry generation. They were the ones who used cheat to play ‘Bounce’ on Nokia phones. The oldest of these lots turns 40 in 2021 while the youngest turns 27. Millennials are the children of Baby boomers.

Gen Z: They were born between 1995 and 2015. Call them the ‘Soro Soke’ or ‘Coconut Head’ generation, the keyboard warriors with enough energy to drag anybody on the social media space. They are between the ages of 6 – 26. 

Gen Alpha: Born between 2015 – Now. The oldest is just 5 and we don’t know what they are bringing yet. Most members of Generation Alpha are the children of Millennials.

Now that we have gone through that, let’s look at some Twitter bants.

*how does a woman get pregnant?*

Gen Z: "if you have intercourse with the opposite sex you'll get pregnant"

Millennials: "if you allow a boy touch you even if it's by mistake gbam!, You'll get pregnant fiam!"

Those of us in the middle just dey look both sides.

Can’t quite claim millennial, can’t really claim gen Z.

Just existing in the middle, identity crisis.

We will go with the winning side sha ??.

Millennials love to talk about Gen Z being under the control of their parents as if the reason they spent 5+ years studying Law only to end up selling hair on the TL isn’t that their parents filled their JAMB forms for them. https://t.co/N8uz0WvcN1

The craziest names Gen Z give millennials on this app;

'Civil War Twitter'
'Arugbo Ojo Twitter'
'Closer to the grave Twitter'
'Backpain Twitter'

Gen Z is always fighting dirty?

— UG (@UgwunnaEjikem) February 19, 2021

Millennials would say the reason they look smaller than the Gen Z is because Gen Z are abusing drugs but we know deep down it’s malnutrition. If our only food option in the morning was Milo or hunger, we too would be dragging height with table fridge ?

I doubt I have laughed as hard as I did to bed last night in weeks. Na weyrey full that Gen Z population. Make anybody no send account number for now. Small respect they don’t have ????

I know we Gen Z are broke but my dear millennials I dare you to not say “God forbid” silently when someone says “I don die” ??

Gen Z are mostly sassy and rude until it’s time to ask Millennials for money or permission for a night out.

Aww man. I do love Gen Z though. Their mouth is sharp. Always have time for tiktok, expressing themselves and dat. Exploring. It's sparkling joblessness sha. Léss bizi but with bright sneakers and swag?. I love it. https://t.co/qAa47hBp86

The same Gen Z that played FEM for Sanwo-Olu, the same Gen Z that also told Sanwo-Olu to “Soro-Soke Wereey” or is it not the same Gen Z that one of them said Buhari was a bad boy on national TV?

FK and Moe picked the wrong mad people to fight ooo, me I am not taking any mud.

The most painful thing about all of this dragging is that Gen X and the Boomers think we're the same as Gen Z and to Gen Z, we're practically Boomers.

Millennial: Happy birthday baby boy,
I just sent you 500k to buy anything you want, the dispatch rider will bring your IPhone 12 Pro Max and PS5 before the close of the day

Gen Z : On this day, a king was born...

I thought we Millennials were disrespectful until I met Gen Z.

Gen Z disrespect is on another level
