Gen Z, Tell Me Everything About Older Generations You Actually Love

Hello, fellow Gen Z-ers. I'm here to say something brave. Yes, I have been known to make fun of my millennial siblings, but just between us, I am getting tired of all the inter-generational hate on the internet. Millennials, Gen X-ers, and yes, even the boomers have come up with some pretty cool stuff over the years. So, if you agree, I'd love to know: what are some of the things from older generations you actually love?

Maybe you literally love indie sleaze, (or whatever we're calling it nowadays,) and think millennials in their 20s had some of the the best pop culture ever. They deserve more credit — so tell me all about it in the comments!

Maybe you sleep peacefully at night in the knowledge that baby boomers made some of the greatest music known to mankind. Maybe you're a huge Creedence Clearwater Revival fan. Or, hell, maybe you just love the history and cultural movements of the '60s and '70s. Tell me about it!

Or perhaps it's smaller-scale — maybe you just love a certain genre of music, a certain style, or a certain way of doing something that was taught to you by someone of an older generation. I want to hear about it!

Or maybe it's something I haven't even thought of. Whatever it is — from being an '80s fashion enthusiast to embodying a Y2K princess — I want to hear about it!
