Explain to me why Zoomers hate Millenials too? Aren't they allies?

Speaking as a millennial, the jokes are good. Inter-generational scuffling is all just postures and sweeping assumptions, so just enjoy the jokes.
i personally don't want to be associated with people who think Harry Potter movies are a personality trait
This is normal.
Talking shit between generations is normal banter.
Zoomers will rip on the millennials love for the 90s. And Millenials act like tide pods are Zoomers primary source of nutrition.
It's meaningless.
And as someone above mentioned, if you get offended, you may as well be a boomer.

I'm a Zoomer myself and I think Millenials are perhaps a bit shit in terms of taste, they like Harry Potter unironically
And destructive. Just another means to draw lines between people who overwhelmingly have the same goals and needs and make them enemies.
I love that they've latched onto the Harry Potter thing because it's so true and something millennials have already been making fun of each other for. I mean seriously read another book
zoomers' parents aren't millennials tho. more gen x
I am an older Millenial. I love zoomers. They are hilarious and I identify with their outlook on life. I think they are just making fun of stupid millenial things like "adulting", Harry Potter etc. WE are old now, and we have some very lame parts of our "identity" that should be made fun of haha.
I've literally only heard the "Zooners hate millennials" anecdote from overly sensitive millennials who saw a TikTok by a Zoomer who poked fun at our shitty music taste during the 90's and 2000's and our collective obsession of Harry Potter and bad Disney movies.
Both generations look to be highly aligned politically therefore I doubt you'll see huge fissures in the two cultures. At least in the near term.

They can be 'allies' and still be critical in my book. I welcome it... though a lot of the memes about millennials tend to not apply to myself (the important ones at least), so I might have an easier time of it. lol
laaaaame. if clowning on making your entire identity be that you identify as a hufflepuff is enough to poison the entire relationship there was never anything solidarity could've done any way. nobody rational actually treats this as a divide that would prevent millennials and zoomers from fighting for the ame things in society. intergenerational joshing isn't destructive come on don't be melodramatic.
No worse than all the people who unironically like anything they grew up with that's actually a bit crap (Yes I'm looking at you, star wars).
They think we kind of dropped the ball 2000-2016, which is a fair criticism. In our defense we had to deal with the fallout of the 08 crash.
Correction, GenX are the parents of zoomers.

Zoomers don't give a fuck. I don't think it's very directed or personal at all lol
The only "zoomers" I've seen bashing Millenials genuinely are those weird kids who are forced into the lifestyle of pick up after their ultra conservative parents.

What does it mean to like Harry Potter ironically?
Tbh I thought it was kind of funny that "Zoomers" clearly know the ins and outs of Harry Potter houses enough to accurately joke about it, but maybe I'm taking it too seriously
I doubt it's outright hate - more likely just annoyance. And honestly, I can't blame them - millennial culture can be pretty cringe at times. I can't believe some people still use the term "adulting"
I'm Gen X and my kid is a zoomer
A lot of zoomers have gen x parents, not millenial. She loves to bash you guys
Not sure how my gen always manages to slip under the radar 🤷♂️

Read Another Book
Read Another Book is an expression used to criticize the overreliance on comparisons to Harry Potter in mainstream politics, particularly by Resistance Twitter users. It can also be used similarly as a catchphrase intended to criticize people who use the Harry Potter series to compare real-world...

It's not zoomer exclusive. I'm a millenial with older millenial friends and we often notice and laugh at people our age (25-35) who seem to use Harry Potter as a metaphor for anything, especially in a cringe way (remember that old Photoshop of Warren, Beto, and Pete as the main HP characters?).
I feel like generational psychology is kinda bullshit, to be honest. They're kids/young adults and figuring out their way in the world. Everyone does it. Sure culture (technology being a big part of it) is different, but it all goes back to that classic struggle of "where do I fit in in this world?" It's just the stages of life, really.
When the first zoomers were being born, the oldest millennials would have been teens. Late zoomers could have millennial parents but those zoomers are pre-teens. For the vast majority of zoomers making fun of millennials, the latter aren't from their parent's generation.
