In the middle of the night, a Twitter user posted screenshots of what Gen Z'ers were saying about Millennials on TikTok.
Whether "commie cornhusker" really knew what she was doing when she posted TikTok screenshots on Twitter is yet to be determined. But regardless of the intent, her post drew the ire of Millennials, and an all-out generational war broke out Sunday morning on the internet.

Some of the tweets that followed were pretty entertaining.
Millennials wasted no time in responding:
gen z be like "been a long day of spitting on cops and catfishing pedophiles. time to tuck my stuffed animals into bed and tell each of them individually why they're perfect and deserve the world."

Don’t fight with Gen Z you can’t win. Once when I was teaching an SAT prep class, I told everyone to “quiet down” and one girl just said “hahah ok sweater!” (because I was wearing a sweater.) Every single one laughed at me....

Even Gen X weighed in:
As a Gen X I'm delighted to see that we passed our bitter nihilistic humor and crushing cynicism on to our Gen Z kids.

But Millennials shot back:
can that generation learn to make an image with more than 500 pixels in it

And then, of course, there's this little gem:
Which generation are you? Do you think these generational stereotypes are accurate? Tell us in the comments!
