>can watch the absolute best of what old cinema can offer, carefully selected and filtered for our consumption by boomers
>can also watch every new releases and actually enjoy it
zoomerbros we won no cap, literally a lifetime of kinos, same applies for other media too
Yeah and instead of watching them i spend all my free time in here
The amount of worthwile content may seem overwhelming and brings analysis paralysis, the solution is to realize that no matter what you decide to consume you know that this is the best a media can offer
>The amount of worthwile content may seem overwhelming and brings analysis paralysis
This sounds like a luxury problem but it's really a huge deal.
I remember when I was young I only had a handful of movies on VHS and I watched every movie like 30+ times.
I only had a handful of games and played every game to 100% completion, fully savoring it.
Now I have a huge "backlog" of content and watching movies feels like work. I actually feel relief when I finish watching a movie because that -1 off my backlog.
This also must be the reason why people think that old > new and everything went to shit (it didn't), in that situation everything was seen as novelty and you were easily impressed by it, now that you have a hude selection and notice that at the end everything is a copy of a copy of a copy it starts to feel like a chore more than anything
>it didn't
kys zoomie
>everything went to shit (it didn't)
Is 98 zoomer?
I honestly feel millennial and don't get any zoomie cultural shit but anons say 98 is zoomer
If you don't have a clear memory of the pre-smartphone era of the internet you're a zoomer, sorry.
I do tho,
I had a flip phone when I was 9
What was its phone number? What was your best friend's phone number?
>What was your best fri new phone
I just had so many best friends I can remember, literally countless amound of really best friends heh trust me bro
You're zillennials. Still have a faint memory of pre-smartphone world, but you went through puberty in the post-smartphone 24/7 social media hellscape.
I’m not a zillennial, I’m literally born in 2004. Kek
It's more about culture than years. If you grew up poor or in a third world country that was technologically behind the real world you can be considered half a generation behind.
Oh I see, for me specifically, I grew up with a zillennial (1997) and a millennial (1988) siblings. With baby boomer parents (1955, 1964 - born in a third world country).
This poster is a spammer and has been spamming the same canned generationology shit hundreds of thousands of times every day since 2019.
Take your meds
It's a bot that reacts whenever you say zillennial, so I recommend you keep doing it.
Says the bot who spams the same phrases in every thread related to generations
>"The zoomber/zillennial" wojaks
>"Ocarina of time is a Zoomer game"
>"1993 Millennials were too old for teen titans"
>"Only zoomies deny zillennials because you're jealous of us for having better childhoods"
>"Millennials and zoomers haven't seen this masterpiece"
>"[Insert thing] is zillennial. Zoomers haven't seen it."
>"Zoomies grew up with Craig of the Creek and Skibidi toilet"
It also gets pissy when you call it a bot so do that as well. Happy shitposting!
So it's like Barneyfag but for generational memes?
Why did you spam "the zoomer" wojak over 1000 times on Cinemaphile back in 2021

I didn't.
So like 2008 and above? I’m qualified as a zoomer born in the 2000s, and the iPhone came out. But I remember basically no one in my family having smartphones, just flip phones or blackberries.
He said memories of that internet era, not that you personally only ever used a smartphone to access the internet
Goddamn man, learn to read
Do you remember 9/11? If no you are a zoomer
Gen Z is 1997-2012. I guess that's where the term zoomer comes from, but from my view that's not a very uniform cohort. This is where the old generational theory comes to question. Technology advanced so rapidly during that phase that it's not very reasonable to put all people born in that time frame in one cultural group. I was born in 1999. I remember when kids still played/hanged outside after 8 yo, when kids still had to figure out what fun to do and it wasn't all blasted to your phone 24/7 by some multinational entity. I have a half brother that's 10 years younger than me. It's a totally different world even he grew up in. Sure I learned a lot about the world from my milleanial sister so that probably explains some of my world view. Sorry about the blogpost btw I'm drunk
The lines between generations and nationalities are blurring thanks to social media.
Fucking TikTok is melting kids' brains. It's a fucking disease. I used to be a laissez-faire capitalist but fuck me if that shit doesn't need some good old government intervention.
That's why the zillennial term was coined, but people are stupid resistant to it for some reason. I guess it's easier to group people into 15 year chunks than to have more accurate smaller ranges of birth years.
Still, it's funny to say zillennial because it makes one anon REALLY mad.
Typically generations are divided by defining "cultural hallmark" moments. As another anon said, a good metric for dividing millennial from zoomer is whether or not you remember 9/11.
9/11 is a decent way of measuring, however I don't think it's perfect because part of it is also remembering what the world was like BEFORE 9/11. People born in 1996/1997 probably remember 9/11 but they don't vividly remember the pre-9/11 world. I also think another thing worth pointing out is that the difference between the pre- and post-9/11 world is dwarfed by the change iPhones have done. I feel like even someone who was 3 when 9/11 happened and doesn't remember it is gonna have an easier time relating to someone who was fully cognizant than they will to someone who was born in 2009 and doesn't remember anything before iPhones were everywhere.
For me it's fascinating the impact 9/11 had on American culture and how that impacted the rest of the world. Adam Curtis portrays this very well in some of his documentaries. He's a poet for our times, I love that man.
Agreed. Tech is in my opinion the best dividing lines for generations rather than socio-political events or abritrary ranges of years. I basically go by how people view the internet
Silent Gen: they barely comprehend what the internet is or how it's different from phones
Boomers: they have a basic grasp of what the internet is, but still don't quite understand it and treat it as magic unless they have a career in technology
Gen X: the people that paved the internet both technologically and culturally
Millennials: grew up with the internet, but there was still a dividing line between the internet and the real world, until smartphones came about as they were hitting adulthood
Zoomers: grew up in a world where the internet was just an extension of real life
Gen Alpha: same as zoomers except they can only consoom the shorts format of content and can't conceive of videos being horizontal
I feel similar, born in mid 80s so I'm supposed to be millennial but feel like i grew up more gen x
that makes it so much more dramatic that you choose to watch tiktok brainrot instead
Yep this only applies to zoomers. I totally couldn't download the Godfather in 2004 as a teenager
>be zoomer
>watch an old B&W movie from 80 years ago
>character is wearing blackface
>ragepost on twitter about how everyone should cancel an actor who's been dead since the 1960s
Yes they actually did this.
I'm going on a weekend trip with my zoomer gf, and we're staying in a 4 star hotel that offers free netflix. I don't have netflix at home because fuck paying for that. What's a kino that netflix has in its catalog right now that I can use to impress her?
Absolutely nothing. If there's something worth watching, Netflix has the bad remake.
i 'member when the internet came and we got a dial-up and the phone would make scary noises if someone was using it. I 'member going on altavista to search for "Boobs" and finishing cumming before the entire image had downloaded top to bottom.
When the line of pixels with the nipples were drawn was utter kino
and still zoomers mostly only endlessly scroll through tiktok, so who won exactly?
>get called a bot
>uuuuuuuh that guy is a bot actually
Truly the heigh of nuCinemaphile banter
>Zoomers can watch the absolute best of what old cinema can offer, carefully selected and filtered for their consumption by boomers
>Despite this, if you ask what their favorite movie is they'll say Avengers or some shit
Yeah I'm glad to be a zoomer. Going to watch The Fly 1958 today bros
It feels good to be a pirate
