Get The Nephilim Clown Book Here!: https://shorturl.at/7HKtA Millennials vs Gen Z: Cringe, Broken Promises, Tech Damage, and the Coming Literacy Divide I reflect on why millennials get so much hate, admitting our early-2000s cringe and the optimism that later collapsed into survival mode as we realized we weren’t “saving the world.” I argue Gen Z is next to be mocked, but I empathize with them for growing up after the analog-to-digital shift, with constant filming, social media pressure, and a broken “degree-job-house” narrative they never even got to believe in. I also discuss fears about children’s privacy, claim school picture-day data was archived for predatory purposes, and explain why I won’t put my kids in the school system. I warn that screens are harming kids’ behavior and that the future class divide will be literacy—those who can read and write versus those graduating while effectively illiterate, often using AI to mask it—while urging generational unity against elite-driven division rather than blaming each other. 00:00 Millennial Cringe Era 00:51 School Photo Conspiracy 01:38 Gen Z Lost Childhood 04:29 Broken Promise Economy 06:08 Why Zoomers Won't Dance 07:52…
