"Okay, Boomer." If you haven’t heard the catch-all put-down millennials and Gen Z use to condescendingly burn baby boomers who made their lives much worse - we don't know where you've been. It got so out of hand at one point that many employers were afraid that it might disrupt the work environment.
Never mind, then, because in a natural course of events, with the youngest millennial being in their late 20s, Gen Z is already plotting how the meme will be passed on to the avocado toast generation. "It’s the year 2050 and the term 'ok, millennial' is trending. What are the reasons the young generation is using it?" u/[deleted] pondered in the Ask Reddit community. From vintage cartoon jokes to early Internet days, it's pretty clear that millennials should start warming up to the idea that redemption day is coming.

I feel like my generation is going to be very against AI rights and AI civil rights will be the issue of the future. I could easily see older versions of my generation being like "No, you can't marry that AI, marriage is between two people, robots are not people, an if else if statement can't love you!""ok millennial"

It will probably be us telling them every new technological advance is just a new way for the government and companies to spy on them. Even if the laws change and you do have more privacy, I feel like our generation will always be suspicious.

We will still be meme addicted but will be still using the memes that should have been lost and forgotten.“Tide comes in, tide goes out, you can’t explain that!”
“You thought this meme was dead? NOOOOPE CHUCK TESTA!!!”
No one will get it and everyone will be rolling their eyes at us.

I imagine its only.a matter of time before body modification (via advanced prosthetics / implants / etc) and / or widespread use of genetic modification. Undoubtedly, many members of the millenial generation will see this as unnatural and will probably oppose it.

We will say things like, “damn remember when the iPhone only had 2 cameras, not 69,420? Those were the good old days! Oh also, remember when YouTube was still a thing and didn’t cause world war 3? That was a good time to be alive.”

Polluting. We think we're doing well, but there's still heaps of habits that have to be improved and I expect future generations will resent us for being backwards. "Why can't we get oranges in the dead of winter anymore? Stupid youngsters f*cking up my healthy balanced diet.""... Ok millenial."

I feel like in the best timeline our kids are gonna say 'ok millennial' when we're old and can't shake being hyper suspicious, and going off the handle about having to rise up and fight for every damn thing, even though it's not necessary anymore.Old me: 'Don't trust your boss! They're always trying to screw you. Keep meticulous paper trails and if they ask you to do something make sure you're keeping track of any overtime and for the love of god DON'T EVER SIGN ANYTHING...'
... 'ok millennial'.

Millennials will probably call future generations fence-sitters for not constantly boasting their political views online or in general. The polarized political climate in the US will get old eventually and people will want to unify again and not judge each others character by labels.“Back in our day, we had to fight to be called our preferred pronouns! You kids should be thanking us for rioting in the streets so you could be accepted by society!”
“Ok Millennial.”

It became unethical to harm insects. Animal rights activists protesting against killing cockroaches and mosquitos. Those who disagree (us) get called animal abusers, but we're too old for this s**t and at that point just kinda waiting for life to end realizing that something similar will happen to them as well when they're old.#53
They do not realize that in the days before the invention of the hypnopillow, it was possible to NOT get a perfect night's sleep every time.And I will burn the city to CINDERS before I allow my daughter to marry Conceptual Identity Matrix 69-T as her 2nd co-wife. ESOTERIC CONSTRUCTS ARE NOT PEOPLE.

Millennials, while solemnly swearing that they are not going to repeat the mistakes of Boomers and Gen X, they will make them anyway.Millennials will always complain about the games they play, just like they did with Minecraft and do with Fortnite even this early.
Millennials will complain about them for using VR/AR goggles all the time.
Millennials will think it's not fair for everyone to get Universal Basic Income after the automation revolution since they had to go to college yet they still hardly got any job.
Millennials will look down on the next generation because they can't hand write since pencils and pens ale long obsolete.

"You're dead when your body dies! PERIOD! You're not real anymore! You're just some damn digital fantasy who thinks you're still that person!"#56
Millennials still eating meat. Advocating p*rno. Using the word p*rn to describe normal everyday things, like calling schoolbooks learn p*rn. Being easily offended. Destroying the world by constantly buying new phones and gadgets, buying the cheapest products even if they were flown in from the other side of the planet.Basically being obnoxious, lazy, self important, and self centered. Everything they blame "boomers" for. A millennial is just a boomer that was born too late.

This applies moreso to gen z, but can apply millennials as well. Back when baby boomers when young they were the students fighting for the civil rights movement, and being drafted into Vietnam and protesting the war. Because of this they were seen as very self centered and full of themselves since they didn’t listen to older generations. However because of Vietnam and to a lesser extent Nixon, they became very wary of change and especially government power, which led them to become the stereotypical boomers we think of today. Sound familiar? Millennials were also fighting on the streets for civil rights and are famous for being portrayed as self centered. They are also probably about to experience a presidential impeachment. I’m afraid that we might end up going down the same road as those before us, and that really scares me. We’ll be stuck in the 2010’s forever and not able to adapt to whatever new problems appear in the future.#60
