“Kids Today Will Never Know”—33 Millennial Struggles Gen-Z Won’t Have To Deal With

With the advent of the internet, computers, and smartphones, the world changed so quickly in the 2000s that older Millennials and Gen-Z are separated by a vast gulf of radically different cultural and technological experiences. That’s why there are plenty of struggles Millennials had to suffer through that their younger siblings simply never had to deal with.

It might blow some Gen-Z minds to learn that Millennials once had to browse for movies and an actual brick-and-mortar store. Or that we couldn’t use the internet and the phone at the same time (let alone have our own phone, let alone have a phone that had the internet on it). What a rough era. And kids today? Kids today just won’t get it.

Here are just some of the struggles Millennials dealt with that Gen-Z kids will never fully understand.
