Summary

The war over skinny jeans, side parts, and the 😂 emoji rages on — but what’s really behind the Millennial vs. Gen Z feud?

In this episode we break down the cultural clash between two generations raised on Wi-Fi, caffeine, and emotional damage. From the evolution of humor to the rise of ironic detachment, we hilariously dissects why Gen Z thinks Millennials are “cringe,” why Millennials can’t stop oversharing, and how social media keeps us pitted against each other.

But beneath the memes and middle parts lies a deeper truth: both generations are just trying to survive late-stage capitalism, mental health crises, and the algorithm — in their own weird ways.

0:00.0	Oh, hey, Compton.
0:08.3	Welcome to another episode of Compton Allian Secure, the podcast where we're absolutely sure we don't know everything.
0:14.9	It's your girl, Kelsey Dara.
0:18.2	And today, I thought this would be a fun one today we're diving into one of the most
0:25.9	absurd hilarious and honestly kind of anthropological topics of our time.
0:47.0	I saw a video that inspired this episode because I've never felt more old and angry,
0:49.6	and I wanted to make it a topic.
1:03.1	So we are talking today about the generational feud between millennials and Gen Z. Yep. The war that nobody asked for, but somehow we are all fighting in it. Okay? It's a cultural cage match of crop tops versus side parts, emojis versus Riz.
1:19.0	Crying selfies could never be me versus B-So for fucking real right now.
1:27.0	The video that inspired this topic was, and I don't know if you guys have seen it,
1:32.0	but it's going a bit megavai right now.
1:36.1	It's a video of a sweet, poor little college newscaster girl talking straight to the camera
1:42.5	doing her little newscast report for a football team.
1:45.5	And there are some probably very tipsy frat boys behind her screaming six, seven into her face and into the camera, ruining her broadcast.

2:21.4	I was so mad at men and the so-called lowliness epidemic that they are bringing

2:29.4	All the comments were like, men aren't lonely enough.
