Speaking as a Millennial, I think the peak era of this was during the flip-phone era, where you'd just slam the cell phone shut in a fit of rage with one hand: so concise, so chilling & yet so elegant!
@@LaCrazyStreet There's no way that _you're_ calling *_me_* a bot. I'm not the one using what is probably the most used RU-vid reply in recent times, am I? No, I am not. (god why did i write this)
I think it's interesting how I grew up with all of the "new" technology, but I still mime like I'm using the old ways (except the window, I do something completely different). Even our landline phone was a more flat design, but we did have flip phones too. Clapping those shut was always satisfying, whether it was a happy hang up or an angry one.
This is so cool to see the difference between manual vs automated things. Newer versions are simpler and therefore more user friendly but older versions are nostalgic, such as rolling down the car window.
@Chloeisntfunny I think they are doing this on purpose. Forcing generations into a mold. I am not saying these young people aren't actually like this but not everybody. I mean rolling down the car window, are there even a lot of cars now with that manual lever? And who uses a telephone and not a cell these days? Or is this about what used to be vs what is right now?

@@31xyzak @31xyzak Lol, that gives the vibe of storming out slamming the door and then returning with your tail between your legs like "Yeah... I forgot my keys... Just gonna * awkwardly grabs keys * take this and..."
I think the older expressions will always tend to be relevant because they express what you mean more clearly. Like I’ve never been one to wear a watch ever but if I happen to have to ask the time with a gesture I will point to my wrist
Right like imagine everything pointing to an iPhone it just wouldn’t make sense. If the kid pretended to take a picture on an iPhone and the guy wasn’t there pretending to use a camera I’d have no idea what the kid was doing
I'm gen Z, on the younger end of the generation. I use the millennial hand gestures because I like to play charades a lot and it's the only good way to show these things
Demonstrating the changing of time! It’s fascinating how we develop things for ease of use and then make fun of kids not knowing the “hard way”. Not this video specifically but I’ve seen other examples where it is meant to be mean. This one is light hearted and I enjoyed that
This is the wholesome multigenerational stuff we all need. Sure, the next generations won't be just like us, but they are going to find their own way. And, I am here for that. I only hope they will look back on us as their greatest fans and supporters. Here is to giving them a reason to return the kindness.
As an early zoomer from 1998 i relate to the left guy. I think right kid impressions are super new and the majority of gen z do that in the old manner. And more than that i think old impressions are not just linked to the time. Now it's like a established normal way to show it cayse you can understand it much clearer. I think alpha kids will change the way they shiws things like photo or phone later.
I think this is fantastic! Seeing the difference between generations because of the massive change in technology WITHOUT making it a "hardihar these ipad kids suck, they're so weird" thing, makes me hopeful for the future of our relationships with younger generations
It is good but you can still tell the large difference, technology is great but it’s good to also let your kids do things like hand wash dishes or use a hand mixer over an electric one because not everyone can afford this stuff
My niece got sick at school one day. And they told her she could use their phone in the office to call her mum to come and pick her up. She was flabbergasted. "It was a big tube to talk in and I had to press the buttons on a box on the table. Kida had never seen a phone that was not a cellphone her entire life. Neither she or her sister thought it was very realistic when I told her we didn't have iPad when I was a kid. They thought I was making a joke.
@@Unni_Havas Sounds like the kid just wasn't/isn't well educated on the history of technology, I'm sure that's something they'll eventually understand and then look back on that memory later and laugh :)
they do kinda suck though, these kids are gunna suffer in the future for their lack of real world skills and physical fortitude due to an overly sheltered and pampered lifestyle watching adhd riddled tiktoks all day long.
Just a couple months ago, at work I saw a child pretend to talk on the phone, and she had her hand flat against her ear. My heart kinda sunk and I don’t know why 😂
This proves nothing but that kid's parents and grandparents worked hard to give this generation a better life. And when they said better they just wanted less effort. So they made everything automated and i love that. Its wholesome not bad at all. We want our decendents to have a good life. And automated life is a good life.
What? There's nothing wrong with that. It's just a more updated version. It's not like it's rotting kids' minds or anything. It's just not what your boomer brain is used to.
But y’all have never seen some of this stuff. My brother is a millennial, I’m gen z (born before 2000) and my younger brothers are gen alpha. They’ve never seen a flip or a house phone and when I showed them one they called it ancient 😂😂😂
@@mags2847as a gen alpha (? I might be young gen z according to when you think gen alpha starts) my house has all of those things you mentioned lol, I use the house phone sometimes
I’m one of the later gen z, but I still use a mix of the hand signals, like using my thumb and pinky as a phone, hand mixing a cake, a full hand heart, etc
I thought people were making fun of Gen z again only to realized we're no longer the youngest. I feel strange mix of 'ew I'm aging' and 'hell yeah I'm not the youngest anymore' Edit: Just an idea maybe we should stop bullying the youngest generation for being different. Like that's their job guys.
@@KT_TheCoolOne fair. But no generation should be targeted. We should have good relationships with newer generations, not bring them down for being different then us.
As a gen alpha, I believe that most gen alpha use the millennial signs. They’re just traditional, and just because we don’t actually do things the ways the symbols portray, that’s still just the common gesture for it.
judging by the way you write i reckon you’re the oldest of gen alpha and not like the rest of the skibidi toilet generation so i guess you might use the millennial signs while the rest use the others? idk i’m gen z
@@EClaire.1073the door separating them implies unbiased motions. What this person’s comment is saying is that kid is not coming up with these motions by himself, someone told him which ones to do for each prompt.
i don’t think so, you can see the boys attentiveness to what she’s going to say to do it right & he kinda fidgets when she laughs at one of the gestures as to wonder if he was doing it wrong.
@@pogbuh215…what year is your car..? Just curious… But I think they are talking about the little screw shaped thing by the window that you pull up or push down like how you activate your shower vs filling the tub… Or are you talking about the flip switch by the handle of modern cars? Those are automatic…
nah the video is fake these expressions won’t change generationally they are just like the general way to mean something, like you know damn well the guy on the left didn’t have to roll a window down like that
@@cherpsy3770 I'm genz and have had to roll down a window like that. Not everybody has had brand spankin' new vehicles and things. For reference I grew up in a 2005 kia rio. That was considered 'new' to me. Many friends of mine had their family cars date to the 90s, so I didn't see it in their cars either. 2020 when we got a jeep compass I was pleased with something as simple as a button to roll down and up the windows. This video isn't "Fake" just because you were pampered lol.
@@rutendokimmk7263mam do you know how to make your own clothes from scratch? Build your own furniture? Hunt your own food and make cheese from scratch? If not please relax. Changes in needs for skills and tech is part of human changes. If he didn't know how to wash dishes he could go watch a video how to. It's not rocket science. Also there are men who are 80 who never learned how to wash dishes because they were spoiled living in a sexist society. Or women even in 19th century who never did chores because they were rich and had staff.
@@GooseSupremeyoure still gen Z, we seep into millennial bc thats how it is, old millennials had us like im 17 my moms 40 but shes millennial by 3 yrs my dad is millennial being 37. they had us teens to mid 20s but raised us on their shit (and also like neglected us and gen z saw the twin towers collapse was there for iraq iran afgan katrina and more but like yeah) bottom line millennials seep into gen z. gen alpha 2010 on is the modern age when you think of 0-14 yr olds being failed by education system and young millennials and older gen z who are 20-25 birthed em
@@luci-ana I do think that probs depends on what year someone was born and maybe also the country? I'm an older gen z from 1999 and definitely grew seeing tech become what it is now and saw like the rise of smartphones etc. I feel like in many ways I relate more to millenials also bc that was who I grew up watching either on tv or like youtube etc. almost all the people I used to watch and still watch are millennials and I can relate to their experiences bc those are similar to my own more than someone who has only ever seen smartphones or never burned a cd or dvd
As genZ I'm horrified of gen alpha, i can't imagine making the phone sign, camera sign and car window rolling like that 😭😭 Edit: that's the most likes I've ever gotten tx yall
@@Suekru3 extra storage man, thats how it is in asian households. we had a dishwasher that wasnt run for the 3 years we lived there, but u can bet it was full of pots, pans, plates, all that crap
@@Speedwagon-ej1fewe are one of those asian house holds. only used it 3 or 4 times to actually clean the dishes. the other times where to get rid of the dust that slowly acumulates overtime.
My daughter was at her nana’s house and the land line phone rang. We said answer the phone so she picked it up and began screaming “where’s the send button” This was 2018 so she was familiar with a specific cell phone 😬 she had no idea about a home phone since she had never seen one. You should have seen her at the old library that still used an old shiny high gloss wooden card catalog 😂
It is easier(and more heart like) to make a heart with the entirety of both hands vs. the finger heart. ❤ This wasn't to say one way is better. I just prefer the Millennial version. The other way reminds me of throwing up gang signs, lol. 😂
This is really cool to see. It makes me wonder what these things are going to look like several years from now when our generation is considered old fashioned ❤
Yes...first thing I did was swing my hand around the couch and look "out" the back window!!!! Still back up that way! The camera thing just tells me when you top ..bbeep beep beep beeeeeepppp😂😂😂
I'd rather get out of the car and check the distance than rely on that screen Or, even better, drive a car made from a material that doesn't scratch easily
How do you stereotype people? Men (ah yes because they have to be males don't they): I don't. Kid (why is this one in singular instead of plural) (also, these are people you have never interacted with in real life): OH Gen Alpha bad, Gen Z good, Millennial Good.
@@stupiditiusmaximus What are you on? Are you stupid? You're reading way into it, the og comment isn't stereotyping at all. They're literally just describing what was shown in the video. Did you even watch it?
Electric mixers have been a common western kitchen gadget for decades. Same with dishwashers (though that was is a little more recent). The analog tasks haven’t gone away, either. Those two felt coached.
The point isn't whether they've been around. Its to show they are so far removed from the "classic actions" we are receptive to, to the point the execution of the action has actually evolved
@@bellebradlington5924 I have always had a smartphone. Used an old phone maybe twice in my life. Still do the sign of the millennial. It's not being remote, it's just an accepted body language 🤷♀️
@@bellebradlington5924 [insert Captain Obvious gif here] I am going to encourage you to reread my original comment. The fact that you thought I needed you or anyone else to clarify so that I could understand that the tools utilized to carry out specific tasks have changed over time is baffling to me. I *disagree* that commonly accepted gestures representing *some* tasks have changed significantly, especially considering these are learned behaviors typically passed on by the adults in a child's life. You got any other sterling observations for me? Wanna tell me that the sky is blue and water is wet?
They are showing how times have changed, I know dishwashers always been round for decades but guess what they where for the rich and not common place. I live in what you call poverty , so even though I'm young I still very old school too
Honestly the gestures you use also reflect on where you are from. Less developed countries dont have dishwasher or have the new cars where you just hold the button. I am late gen z and i am from a 3rd world country and we still had cyber cafes and DVDs in like 2014.
I'm pretty sure DVDs were considered completely normal even in first world countries in 2014 and a few years after that. Even now, if I have something on DVD, I'll use that over streaming
@@younscrafter7372 no DVDs were still used around 2014 on western countries but they were slowly decreasing in use however from where I was from, DVDs were at their peak around 2014-15. Also a lot of people even in 2016 from where I was used 2g phones. Even I had a Nokia
Yeah they did this, because we are used to it. Well … we were used to it. Now it’s not needed anymore and will probably be gone in a few generations of phones.
@@leoniagara3134 I don't think so. It's actually very practical when you are trying to take a picture from an angel where you can't reach the display button while holding the phone. So I often use the buttons instead.
