Generation Z is teasing millennials about their particular way of buying expensive items. People born between 1981 and 1996 reacted with shock to the ‘attack’.
Jessie FrazelleThe CEO of tech company Zoo, reported on X, formerly known as Twitter, that she had heard that people born between 1997 and 2012 criticize their parents for only using a desktop or laptop to buy things on their wish list.
Gen Z was born and raised in the age of smartphones and wants everyone to know about them. They now make fun of millennials for not reaching for their phones when they need to make a big purchase.

She said: ‘Apparently Gen Z makes fun of older generations for never making big purchases on their phones and always using a desktop. I’ve never felt so attacked in my life for something I didn’t know I was doing subconsciously.’
The social media post struck a chord with millennials, as it addressed their hesitation to click “Place Order” while on their phones.
Millennials on the web poured in comments and came up with hilarious responses, with many agreeing that Gen Z was absolutely right.
Someone said, “It could also be a matter of older versus younger millennials. My wife, who is three years younger, has no problem conducting all sorts of complex transactions over the phone. Meanwhile, I need a full-fledged computer for serious business.”
Someone else wrote: ‘How do you open multiple tabs and carefully compare offers?’
‘I’ll try to make a big purchase on mobile, but I’ll go straight to desktop if the site/app is so bad I don’t trust it to work properly. It’s more of an indictment on how many companies still can’t get mobile right,’ someone else added.
One user wrote: ‘Millennials explored the internet ocean. Gen Z grew up on the island of the app store. We know the secrets.’
“Gen Alpha will bash Gen Z for even using a phone,” someone else said.

One user added: ‘Wait till they find out I spent 80 hours researching to buy a $450 thing.’
“That’s because I have PTSD from poorly optimized mobile sites,” someone else noted.
