I'm currently in the planning stage of writing the great zoomer novel.

It will be shit but there is no novel out there that has done this so I took it upon myself.

A non-existent novel about two zoomers. One, a wannabe sigma bateman urbanite type who is a sociopath concerned only with satisfying his large desires. Another, a rural social outcast and misanthrope raised by unstable parents who turns into a modern day norse saga antihero, becoming a murderer who, combined with smarts and sheer dumb luck, evades capture. Eventually the older viking zoomer will kill the urbanite zoomer in a chapter displaying that the truly amoral empty man is worth less than the bad person with values who is ultimately still in touch with his conscience

Don’t blame me for your laziness and inadequacy. You best start bussing tables and saving up money. Don’t want to miss getting your foot in the door before you are priced out. The problem is you are entitled. What have you ever done to deserve your own business or home? You cope by blaming others. I see young people everyday owning houses, driving cars, and starting businesses. Your whole problem seems like a you problem. Get off your ass and do something with your life. Nothing is worse than one who expects everything to be handed to them. Have you ever even seriously tried? I bet you’re the type that expects a wife to fall into your lap too. Generation Z… the generation of daydreamers. My advice to you is get off this site, adjust your attitude, and get moving in the right direction

It is true when looking at Silent Gen, Greatest Gen, and Boomers, that my ancestors in the first two went through some rough shit. Fought in wars, survived famines, conquered people, etc. This all culminates in Boomer Grandpa working one slow easy non-manual labor job for 40 years and retiring at 60, then he complains about my generation being losers even though we’re back to doing hard shit and will probably all have to fight in whatever WWIII they’ve got cooking with China and Russia right now.

I think ultimately that it’s only some boomers that do that, it’s just that the entitled ignorant assholes are the ones that scream the loudest. You’re not going to hear your supportive Grandma or Grandpa over your shrieking half-deaf morbidly obese grandparents yelling at dinner in a quiet restaurant about how “this generation is so impolite.” It is very obnoxious how many of them hearken back to the masculinity of the Greatest and Silent gens without ever having done anything more than play football for 2 years in high school and then drink beer every day for 40 years.
