Gen Z vs Millennials: Breaking Down The Ultimate Generational Debate
Share
In a world where social media reigns supreme and trends shift faster than ever, the generational divide between Millennials and Gen Z has never been more obvious—or entertaining. Whether it’s a battle over side parts and skinny jeans or a debate on who uses TikTok better, the differences (and the hilarity) are endless.
In this week’s episode of the Burnt Out Perfectionist podcast, we dive headfirst into the generational showdown. From slang and social media habits to diet trends and fashion extremes, we share our hottest takes on what each generation gets right—and hilariously wrong.
🥊 Slang Wars: “Slay” vs “Adulting”
If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “YOLO” unironically, congratulations—you’re officially a Millennial. Meanwhile, Gen Z is out here saying “slay” and “ate” in ways that make absolutely no sense to anyone born before 1997.
Millennials love their classic internet slang—words like “adulting” and “cringe” still dominate their vocab. Gen Z, on the other hand, creates new terms faster than you can say “rizz” (which, by the way, means charisma for the uninitiated).
In the episode, we debate:
- 🛑 Is Millennial slang outdated or timeless?
- ✅ Is Gen Z making slang too confusing?
📱 Social Media:
🤳 Hot take: Millennials are still obsessed with curating the perfect Instagram feed, while Gen Z embraces unfiltered chaos with blurry, random photo dumps.
🥗 Diet Trends: From Low-Carb to Oat Milk Everything
Remember when low-carb diets were all the rage? Millennials do. Gen Z, however, is more focused on gut health, wellness trends, and plant-based everything.
In the episode, we hilariously dissect:
- 🥑 Why Millennials rejected cow’s milk (RIP, got milk ads)
- 🍞 Why Gen Z's obsession with sourdough starters
🌎 Changing the World: One Trend at a Time
While the generational divide is hilarious, there’s no denying that both groups are shaking things up. Gen Z is rejecting hustle culture in favor of work-life balance, while Millennials are leading the charge in advocating for mental health awareness.
In this episode, we reflect on:
- 💡 How Gen Z is making healthy hair care routines and therapy trendy
- 💻 Millennials overcomplicating everything with life hacks that Gen Z simplifies in two steps
- 🎓 Raising Gen Alpha—are we about to create another generation with our own extremes?
