Dialectics. As economic contradictions sharpen so do social and ideological ones. Both extremes crop up because that’s what promises necessary change.

Any gen on how the previous generation looked upon them: Wow the previous gen was so silly for completely overreacting to our slang and culture, seeing as how it was in no significant way different from the culture of the previous generations' youth, despite technological advances

Any gen about the next gen: While I am aware that my generation was mocked by the previous generation for our frivolities, which was silly because the previous generation had the same generation, this next generation is deeply unserious and needs to be mocked for its' frivoloties. The reason this is different is because of technology and also their slang is weird and their internal references make no sense and their humor is slightly abstract and very cringy unlike the things I liked as a youth.
