If there’s one thing that you can count on when you open Twitter, it’s that there will be some form of generational bickering going on.
From Baby Boomers (1946 – 1964), to Generation X (1961 – 1981), to Millennials (1982 – 1994), to the new wave of Generation Z (1995 – 2010), it seems like people of all ages are fighting to expose the flaws of every other generation.
But what about each age group’s positive points?
People took to social media to boast about their peers using the hashtag #BragAboutYourGeneration, and here’s a collection of the best results.
1. Millennials harnessed the power of the Internet.
