As a 40+ person, I strongly agree with my young colleague here.

Listen to what you want, kids. Enjoy it. And don't let anyone tell you you're wrong about it.

As Common once put it, "If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hatin'."

Loving this chain. Also over 30. I get frustrated that what older generations used to spout about Millenials like me (lazy, don’t want to work, etc) gets spouted by my generation to gen z.

I’ve seen some Gen Z kids do some bad things, but I’ve also seen them do amazing things my generation would not have done.

As far as music, I love all the variety there is and all the mediums to listen to it now.

I am actively working on trying to be better than the older generation. I love how unique gen z is, how they truly believe everyone have value, their beliefs, their morals. I have hope they will be better than us

The advice-for-kids thread is elsewhere. This is an advice for old people thread.

Indeed, but this particular sub-thread started with an OP giving advice to older people, and is now older people responding to that comment. These aren't top level comments, so let the conversation go where it may.
