I feel like there's a weird dynamic in Millennial vs. Zoomer discourse because most generations kind of gradually age and get to experience life stages (for lack of a better word) "naturally" whereas Millennials were squeezed on both sides, on one end late to start families and late to own homes (for those of us even lucky enough to do those things) thanks to 2008, and on the other by a pandemic where we entered it as Kids These Days and emerged from it as Olds while it seemed no time had passed
