I guess it was inevitable that my fellow millennials would carry on the age-old tradition of shitting on the younger generation's new slang, styles, and behaviors. I don't know why I thought we might break the cycle.

True, but this example feels a lot less malicious than other "young generation" humor. It's mostly just poking fun at the stark contrast between the youth culture of now vs. the 1980's, rather than just denigrating the modern youth.
