  • Dear Millennials, This is How to Get Your GenZ Siblings to Like You

    Start by sending them money or having WiFi, they’ll love you for life.

    Written By:

    GenZs hardly ever like anything or anybody, including their (millennial) siblings. They don鈥檛 think you鈥檙e cool or woke, so they don鈥檛 like you. If you have a GenZ sibling, let me tell you how to get on their good side. I鈥檓 speaking from experience.聽

    Record TikTok videos with them

    You鈥檒l have to sacrifice your millennial hips to do their trendy TikTok dances with them. Maybe they鈥檒l pity you and give you the less complicated ones. 

    Don鈥檛 comment on any of their social media accounts

    You鈥檙e lucky that they allow you to follow them on social media sef, so don鈥檛 ruin it. Just look and pass when you see their posts. Hold yourself from dropping that 鈥渇unny鈥 comment. They鈥檒l block you.聽

    Stay away from their love life聽

    I know you want to ask a million questions about that person your sibling is always video calling, but don鈥檛. Don鈥檛 try to do, 鈥淚鈥檓 your older sibling. I need to protect you from people.鈥 Just face front and mind your business. They鈥檒l eventually tell you if they want to.

    Don鈥檛 say 鈥減im鈥 about their fashion choices

    Gen Z fashuonz is very unique. You may not understand what your sibling is wearing, or why, but don鈥檛 say anything. If not, they鈥檒l drag you by saying 鈥淥kay boomer鈥. If you want them to like you, again, mind your business. 

    At least try to listen to their music

    It鈥檚 time to go and download trap and alt茅 music onto your phone. Quick tip: trap musicians usually have 鈥淟il鈥 at the beginning of their names or 鈥淏aby鈥 at the end. 

    Learn their vocabulary

    You need to know when to say insert GenZ lingo like 鈥減urr鈥, 鈥減eriod鈥 and 鈥渋t鈥檚 giving鈥︹ during the conversation. If not, they鈥檒l think you鈥檙e boring and won鈥檛 like giving you gist.聽

    Always have WiFi

    If there鈥檚 one thing GenZs always do is look for where to charge their phone and ask for WiFi. Once you allow them to connect to your hotspot, you become their favourite person. 

    Don鈥檛 call them too much

    They don鈥檛 really like calls; they prefer texts. If you call them too much, you may get blocked. I鈥檓 not joking, this generation is brutal. 

    Send them money聽

    In fact, if you don鈥檛 do anything else on this list, do this one consistently. They鈥檒l love you for life.
