The app for independent voices

I love Bradley Ramsey nostalgic poem! I wrote this earlier this year, clearly we're feeling something.

Why Gen Z think you’re prehistoric

You order a Cappuccino instead of a boba tea,

Your underwear is from M&S, but never D&G.

You still have a DVD collection, that's from 1999.

And you have no idea about TikTok, Snapchat, or KSI's Prime.

You still say words like funky, low key, or extra naff.

While rizz, slay, boujee, are totally no cap.

You make unholy noises when you sit down,

While Peleton became your best friend during lockdown.

Love Island and TOWIE are no Buffy or Bel Air,

You struggle to work your TV remote, even locating it in your chair.

You use hashtags incorrectly and still use "the Facebook".

You've never heard of YouTubers like Logan Paul or Beau Brooks.

The only 'influencer' you know is a 19th-century plague.

While Big Brother, and Millionaire were all the rage.

500,000 pounds was enough for a mansion.

Now kids are shacked up with three others and your grandson. 

You had enough disposable income to buy a new Audi.

But then complain about young people being rude and lazy.

You are the last group that'll own a home for your family.

While the youth of today will be still be at mum's at 53.

You may be prehistoric, but you also made history.

As the final generation that still gets more for free.
