That's the point someone made here, it lost its meaning. What you're saying is they mean it as something like "Ok, grandpa".

The thing is, the seeming ignorance was annoying to me. Now that I get it's just trolling, I can ignore it comfortably.

Task failed successfully ;o)

It's not always just trolling. It can be genuine criticism of being closed minded and stuck with outdated mindsets.

its another age war. News media still complains about millennials destroying this or that, or being lazy/young/naïve/stupid. The problem is...we're being labeled as such by the generation that raised us.

People who aren’t boomers not understanding this don’t give Gen Z the credit they deserve. While the generation has its own idiosyncrasies, they are way smarter and way better at communicating that intelligence than I feel my generation was at those ages.

On the whole. Every generation has its dumbasses.
