What Gen Xers and Millennials Want - Part 4

Continued 

Newspapers

There’s just something sacred about the morning kitchen-table ritual: coffee in hand, newspaper spread out, the whole world delivered in crisp, ink-smudged pages. Boomers are still keeping that vibe alive—but for most people under 60, the “paper” is an iPad or a phone (and yes, we’re choosing to believe they’re reading headlines—not speed-running Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok).

This is a sensitive one for me because Daddy was the local Publisher and editor of the newspaper. He owned the business. He was tutored by one of the finest men in the field, Mr. Raymond Nichols. R H Nichols was even invited to a press conference at the White House under Dwight Eisenhower. I have long ago lamented the demise of the local paper. It held TRUTH because the journalist had to cover the stories with all the elements covered: Who, What, Where, When, Why and sometimes How. They didn't want to get it wrong because these were the people they rubbed shoulders with in the grocery store. As a journalist myself, we were taught how to avoid propaganda...just straight forward news. I believe that today, most people key in to only the side of the news that they fall on. There is such prejudice in our news media...yes, even the newspapers that are still there.  It saddens me greatly. We long ago stopped our subscription of the paper copy because a city as large as ours (over 2 million) sold off to another publisher in a DIFFERENT city to print the paper. SO, THE NEWS is a day old, and we have already heard the stories and sports scores. We miss the day of true reporting, which is something that the Millers will never understand. It came with core principles, avoiding slander at all cost.

A Job Means Everything  

For many boomers, their job was the most important thing. We can't imagine any boomer ever heard, let alone used the term work-life balance throughout their work lives.

You better believe it was everything and still should be. It is your bread and butter! It is a means to support yourself later in life. As far as balance, we weren't snowflakes, needing space to balance our mental health. Working was our mental health; learning to balance our lives around those we came into contact with. We learned to look people straight in the eye, shake hands and respect others. Then using our precious time outside of our work schedule to do the most important things, being with family and cherishing the time away from work, knowing we must return to work hard and be the BEST we could be. 

And while we're on the topic of jobs...

9-5 Workday We will always love the Dolly Parton song, but it probably won't be too long before the idea of working from 9am until 5pm every day is oh, so very antiquated for most people.

What's wrong with learning how to navigate this world with others. We were NOT secluded in our homes, in our pajamas, pretending that we were working.

Hats Off At The Table

Have you ever gotten an angry look from a baby boomer? Wear a hat to the dinner table and you will.

 We learned PROPER MANNERS...which has gone by the wayside and so has the respect for others and how you behave appropriately in public. 

Landlines

If you're wondering why forms still have separate fields for "mobile phone" and "home phone"—baby boomers are why.

What's the big deal? You've gotten your way. Things progress and we have, too. The landlines will be going away. Besides, copper is expensive and now the younger people are stealing the copper wiring. There is no way that the system will support these much longer. We GET IT! Right now, though, I find it handy not to give my cell number to everyone. 

The Good China

Not the country. We're talking about the fancy dishware sets that, like the formal living room, were only to be used when guests came over. For folks under 50, plates aren't for saving, they're for using.

It's nice to have special things for special occasions that we have with special people. I really don't know why we had such nice dinnerware, as I have not used it very much, and it is very expensive. It probably goes along with the 'wood furniture' that the young people scoff about. But IT'S GOOD STUFF. Quality that last, unlike IKEA products that are nothing more than particle board. And...it is just like us, Built To Last!

Movie Dates

Partly because there are fewer quality movies being made (there are only so many sequels and superhero movies one can take)—and partly because these days it's easier to just Netflix and chill.

The movie industry has gone WAY off track. And who's to blame for that? The younger generation has no concept of modesty, manners, nor putting a pure good look to something. They need too much gore and sensation for entertainment. Not just good quality character movies. And once again, the young people have no idea how to teach older people how to use all the new technology. I'm inclined to think that most of it is filled with trash anyway.  

Asking A Father's Permission To Marry His Daughter

A few Gen Xers still hang on to it, but at this point it’s been the rare exception—not the norm—for quite a while.

Who owned her first? It sure wasn't you, and most fathers need to hear that a man will take care of and cherish a father's most prized possession. 

Handwritten Letters

It's rare getting a handwritten letters via snail mail at all these days—but even rarer is getting one hand written by a person under 60 years old.

I pity those who don't understand handwriting, as you will no longer be able to understand the history that is preserved from long ago. And there is just something very special about getting something WRITTEN that restores your spirit. But how would you know? When most of the time, you don't even see the importance of responding even in text. You are on you own, buddy! Let's just disconnect from anything we see as a nuisance. Let's not see anything as a lasting treasured item, 

Owning A Home

Sure, there are plenty of Gen Xers, millennials, and probably even a few Gen Zers buying homes. But it isn't as important to the younger generations as it was to baby boomers. It was expected, it was what you did. And yes, housing prices are keeping a bunch of people from home ownership, but plenty are very happy to rent, even if they could afford to buy—many even see it as the smart financial move.

Well, it is special to have you own property. Something that shows that you have WORKED, been successful and something that others have no say over. I never thought it was expected of me. It was something I was proud of. And we don't live in debt, because we worked hard to pay off the mortgage and in retirement, we are not paying rent, just expenses. Hopefully, younger people will not regret having something to show for their lives and commitment to society. 

Having 2.5 Kids

1977 marked the last time the average American family had more than two kids—barely, at 2.01. By 1978, it slipped to 1.96, and it’s never climbed past 1.95 since, quietly cementing the two-kid household as a thing of the past.

No comment as this is totally a personal choice. I'm fine with that.

Retiring At 65

Go to school, get a job, work 9-5, by a house, have 2.5 kids, retire at 65. That was how it was for the parents of baby boomers and for most of the baby boomers themselves. We've already talked about the changing work landscape as far as work-life balance and the disappearing 9-5. Whether it's retiring early or having a few side hustles and lines of passive income—the traditional retirement structure is going away.

All I can say is...you may never know the joy of stepping back and enjoying the fruits of your labors, whatever that looks like to you. Good luck with not having a place of your own later in life when the challenges of living get harder. You may never be able to retire on 'side hustles and passive incomes'. We didn't stand around waiting for someone to hand us something. What we worked for, we earned.

I am disappointed in this, and truthfully offended, article that shows no respect for our generation and for what we stand for. It surely explains to me why young people today don't want to look me in the eye, or give anyone older than themselves any respect. Many are spoiled brats, always given things and not understanding truly where you came from. I pity that lack of compassion. At my age now, I'm seeking out those people who have wonderful children and who have taught them to honor others and be nice with good manners. There are many of you out there and I'm choosing YOU and the people to lead us into the future. I praise and thank God for you.

What do Gen X and millennials Want? Part 3

 THINGS I SEE FROM DAYS GONE BY THAT CAN NEVER BE THE SAME

I copied the article entries, and then addressed each category in bold green  

Photo Albums
No, not the Google photo album on your phone. We're talking real life physical photo albums with real life physical printed photos. Ya, we know—if you're under 30, none of those words make any sense.

It is important not to discard these old photos, especially those family portraits and the old photos from the 1800s and turn of the 20th century. It's your family history. Please cherish these as they cannot be replaced once they are trashed.

Phone Calls
Yes, younger people still make phone calls. However, a text or DM is often the first choice and if someone doesn't answer, you don't leave a message (they can see that you called on their phone).

What is more valuable than someone's voice wishing you a good day, especially someone who truly cares about you. We see it as rude to just hang up and let you guess why we are calling. Then again, we are the generation that will look you in the eye, greet someone openly and value the conversation. We truly were taught proper etiquette.  

Voicemail
Think about the last time you had a voicemail. Odds are it was either from a business confirming an appointment or from someone over 60. And let's not forget...
 We are sorry to inconvenience you with our voices. Same answer as above. 

Leaving Date, Time, And Name In Voicemail
"Hi, it's Dad. It's 1:30, Thursday afternoon..."
 This is not needed anymore, true. As the calls are time stamped. I, however, like to hear a greeting and/or to know if there is something that I need to be aware of. 

Wearing A Suit And Tie To Work
It started with casual Fridays and we've been adding more days of the week ever since.

Believe me, we were most excited when we were allowed to wear jeans on Friday. However, there are certainly professions that we expect to carry the formal protocol. It shows class. We don't expect this to be an everyday thing, but there is nothing wrong with making yourself the best that you can be.
 
Checks
Think about the last time you saw someone write a check? How old were they? There are surely many people reading this who have never written a check in their lives. And never will.

Come on! Our generation didn't live on plastic. It can be a disaster as you rack up debt. When you use a check, you should write down and keep a record of your expenses. This younger generation does not seem to understand living within their means. NOT racking up a huge debt! It is also a way that I save some people, like my hair stylist, from having the expense of processing payments. Then honestly, we are not adept enough, nor trust our phones with our finances. 

Formal Living Rooms
For all you young people: A formal living room was a full room in the house that was only used when guests came over. It also usually had nicer furniture and accoutrements than did the regular living room that was used by the family 99% of the time. And not only was it only used when guests came over—you were not allowed to step foot into it at any other time. 

I pity those who find this as something to complain about. It is with pride that we have a room that represents us. When guest arrive, they don't walk into a room that is littered with our mess of the day. 
 
Couches Wrapped In Plastic
This one pretty much ended with the parents of boomers—but there were probably a few boomers who kept the annoyingly noisy and uncomfortable tradition alive.

No, we no longer live on plastic wrapped couches. But let me put it into perspective. My parents had nothing when they started out. Times were tough after WWII, and when Daddy began to make enough to start buying good furniture in the early 1950's, my parents had 1 toddler and 2 very young children. And NO, we didn't live on it for all that long. I can only imagine how Mother felt when she finally decided to take off the cover...and let go of the "newness".
 
Cable
The cord-cutting began years ago and with the proliferation of streaming services, it's only gotten worse (for cable companies, that is). From just under 100 million cable household subscribers in 2017, that number now sits under 70 million in the United States—not to mention the fact that close to 80% of cable subscribers are over 60 years old.

Instead of bashing us, maybe you should seek out an elderly couple who doesn't understand new technology...and help them out, setting it up with explanations. We live on a set income, and we prefer to do things ourselves, BUT hiring people to come in, takes money, time and trust. You will understand one of these days, when things seem to have left you behind. 

Organized Religion
No, we definitely aren't predicting the end of religion. That's not going to happen. However, we can point out that 68% of 18 to 49-year-olds are religiously unaffiliated—as compared to 18% in the 80s.

I'm speechless and heartbroken about this. I will go to my grave knowing that THIS is the main reason our nation is falling apart. We believe in the word of God. We understand that following His laws are difficult and that hard truths are buried deep in those laws. People now-adays want to change the narrative to make it easier to live with a clear conscience, so they set a new standard, rather than to live by the law. In the end, you will face judgement.
 
Cash
Again, like religion, we aren't predicting it will go away completely. But think about how often you tap and swipe as opposed to pull out cash from your wallet to pay for anything. You might've also noticed more and more businesses popping up with signs saying "Cash Not Accepted".

I have no words. The value of a dollar in your hand and understanding that when it is passed OFF in exchange for an item, it is NO longer in your hand. You have to build up the supply again before the next purchase. Just like recording and keep up with your paper checks. I addressed the PLASTIC world above and it is disgusting how people are living in debt because they want to be instantly gratified.
 

What do Gen X and Millennials Want? Part 2

Here is the article. It was the title that created unrest within me. The "Fingers Crossed" part. Like wishing my generation would just Go. Away! Again, Now I understand what my mother and my mother-in-law were thinking and feeling when they were my age. They both voiced concern about the direction we, as a nation, were going.

Everything that will disappear with the baby boomer generation (fingers crossed)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/parenting/everything-that-will-disappear-with-the-baby-boomer-generation-fingers-crossed/ss-AA1Vun1n?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=698463c3b2f34cecaab1d59890494c0e&ei=46#image=30

Here's the introduction to the article, "Born between 1946 and 1964, Baby Boomers are now in their 60s and 70s—and they’re still happily doing (and using) a bunch of stuff that younger generations mostly treat like urban legends. Which means as the Boomer era fades out, a surprising list of items, habits, and everyday rituals might fade out with it—possibly for good."

For good... yep! let's do away with them. That’s fine…but there are a few things that are deep core principles of human nature that are disturbing for the young people to ignore. I have decided to divide their complaints into two sections because, I don't use some of these things anymore, either. Which led me to the wording "urban legend". Let me clarify. The things listed in this article are HISTORY, not urban legend. As a schoolteacher, it was fun to teach urban legends. But that is not what these things are.

URBAN LEGEND - definition.  Urban legend (sometimes modern legend, urban myth, or simply legend) is a genre of folklore concerning stories about an unusual (usually scary) or humorous event that many people believe to be true but largely are not.

In this Part 2, I will address the things that I admittedly do not use anymore, just because life moves forward, things change and we adapt to that. It make me sad that these younger people don't realize that THEY are the ones leaving us behind. I was lucky enough to still be a teacher when the computer was introduced into the classroom and had training on how to use them. And honestly, it was fascinating to see how my students could quickly adapt and help teach ME. But now as a retired person, I DO feel left behind with some of the newer technology, and no one seems to care that these concepts are difficult for older people who don't have the capabilities to understand their usage. I remember how my mother-in-law felt "left behind". It's a situation where we don't have access to people who can teach us, help us, make these transitions. 

But anyway, here are the things on the list that I don't use. No need to cross your fingers in hopes that they will go away.

Email Forwards
"It will be nice not to have our email filled with these kind of subject lines anymore: Re:fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd: funny"

I, too, hated these anyway. It cluttered my inbox and I would spend wasted energy reading them.
Fax Machines
"Raise your hand if you still have a fax machine? Put your hand down if you were born after 1964... we're just going to assume that very few hands came down."

We had these at school, and back in the day, that was the new way to get things quickly into the hands of someone else. It was part of the progress forward. 
Encyclopedias
"Honestly, we're not sure they even produce physical encyclopedia books anymore. Which means that most of the ones still in existence probably reside on bookshelves in the homes of Gen X and millennials' parents."

Again, part of history moving forward. I'm fearful that books are disappearing, another way to brainwash people and not read history as it was...only reading what is 'online' as the way someone wants you to see the story. Today, I do find it more accessible to get the information online. But let's not rewrite history. And yes, I do have my mother-in- law's encyclopedia set sitting on a shelf because when they moved out of state, she offered them to me. As a teacher, I hit a gold mine to have these in my home as reference. Remember, we didn't have things available with a click on a screen. PLEASE, remember history!

The Yellow Pages
"Really? We're pretty sure even baby boomers don't use those big yellow phone books anymore."

Well, article is correct. I don't see any way to place all the numbers anymore into one book like the phone book use to be. I miss it, as it was so much easier than clicking and clicking, trying to find the exact listing, and then finding ALL other kinds of information, not knowing who might be truly qualified. 

Harley Davidson
"Once a symbol of rebellion, Harley Davidson is now that really loud bike the old guy in your town drives around." It was a big deal back then, but hardly any of us rode motorcycles. Don't make it sound like we all had one. In actuality, it was only a few.
Having 2.5 Kids
"1977 marked the last time the average American family had more than two kids—barely, at 2.01. By 1978, it slipped to 1.96, and it’s never climbed past 1.95 since, quietly cementing the two-kid household as a thing of the past."  I don't blame young people for not wanting more kids than they can care for. If we look back into our history, though, when families worked the land and fed themselves properly off of that land, they needed more help to do ALL that work. It was okay for them to not have birth control. Loosen up, it was the way life was for them back then. No one is slamming you for your decisions today. 

What do Gen X and Millennials Want?

 The State of Affairs

Sometimes my heart feels saddened and deeply troubled by what I see going on around me in the world. Of course, I use to roll my eyes when my mother would say, “Things are going’ to hell in a hand basket.” She was a person who … watched a brother leave home to fight the Nazi’s in WWII and he was placed right in the thick of things for the Battle of the Bulge. She grew up during the Great Depression. They had hardly anything, and yet they had everything. They were loved. They had family who helped one another and mostly, they had faith in the good Lord; that He would provide. They had extended family living nearby, and they were surrounded by the love of that family and their community. It was a time when they relied on one another and lived in the moment. They went to the movie theater to see the introductory news clips to find out what was happening overseas.  Going to the theater was a treat, but a ‘must-do’ so they would know the news. They gathered around the radio to hear what was happening outside their bubble. My mother was a person who lost EVERYTHING in a house fire. All she had was the shirt on her back. Literally, they didn’t even have shoes on, as they played outdoors barefoot.  But they had family and community and Pappy provided what he could in the days to come as they rebuilt. All of that is a story of its own…but it leads me to today….

When I opened the computer to my home screen, there was an article that was creepy down to the core of my spine. I know that today’s generation would be rolling their eyes at me. I never thought that I would see our world deteriorate into the ideology of today; it’s unfathomable to me.

But here I go…all for nothing.

I open this “all knowing” computer screen where children can lose their innocence way too soon because they can access unthinkable things and are bombarded with ads for things that are far above where they are emotionally, desensitized by decaying values of morals on all levels. So…here I sit sounding much like my mother and my husband’s mother. I’m glad they are no longer here to see what is being shown in an instance to the world. The latest most appalling thing that I saw was a gown (if you could call it that) on the red carpet of the Grammies. I don’t think I could call it a dress, but rather nudity. The dress was attached to her nipples, then draping down to her midriff, revealing her breast not just her cleavage.

Then after being completely disgusted by the wording of the above said article (which I will address in the next Post), I decided to change direction and work with the music on my computer…to which I’m sure the above said millennials would be totally disgusted with me for wanting to have at my own disposal…my own music.  I opened iTunes and was once again blasted by things that are despicable and unacceptable:  Title of songs, names of artist and groups, horrifying graphics…. the things of nightmares. Following are a few of the headliners: Demon Hunters, The Great Satan, Megadeth, Mayhem, Liturgy of Death, Midnight Blitzy by Tailgunner (with skeletons), Engines of Demolition by Black Label Society.

I pity these young people who will be raising our next generation, as they will reap the benefits…or should I say, demise… of this type of culture. My eye fell on a title and I investigated, as it was an album titled Into Oblivion by the artist Lamb of God. Really? Here are the titles of the tracks on the album: Into Oblivion, Parasocial Christ, Sepsis, The Killing Floor, Blunt Force Blues, Bully, Devise and Destroy.

Man oh Man oh Man…. are we in trouble now. YES!

So, an introduction to address the article about what is offensive to millennials about my generation turned into a rant. The information about the article will be continued in the next blog or two because I am passionate about what I’m seeing as decay in our young people. It will not get better. I have faith that there are some great young people who will cleave to what is truly good and right in this world.
