    I thought at first this was just describing how each generation is but its a bit more abstract than that: these are the kinds of memes they make.

          Juan’s been around since before gen z could speak. That one’s millenial humor that gen z adopted and extrapolated.

          Looks like it popped up in 2015, so not as old as I remember. Still can be argued that it’s too old to be gen z meme. the meme juan was 2020, though, and originally posted to Instagram, so it’s genz

          We never seem to skip the bit where a gen Xer points out genX erasure.

            My 9 year old nephews told me months ago that 6-7 was already lame.

            Which makes sense. If a kids’ meme is at a point where adults know enough about it, it’s probably already passé. That’s just how this stuff works.

          That was British humor specifically.

          See Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett for more. Even Rowan Atkinson.

          Okay, I guess they were all boomers, but still!

            You SAY that, but I don’t see anyone trading manuscripts on FTP sites like it’s 1995.
