Trends come and go. To help you keep track, we asked the BuzzFeed community what they think is completely out of date.
It is now well known that boomers get into arguments with everyone, but the relationship between Gen-Z and Millennials is not always easy either. What was cool yesterday is already out today.
If you’re lost in all the generational confusion, you can take our quiz to find out whether you’re still Gen Z or more of a Boomer.
For all those who are sure of their generation, the most annoying millennial trends are now really starting. Some opinions were also hotly debated in the community, so don’t feel offended if you see yourself in one of these. Let’s go:
1. Everything in one color

“It’s one thing to type it, but another to say it. Just laugh instead of saying ‘LOL.'”
–27, from Georgia
6. Photos of food
“Nobody cares what you ate. Some experiences are better kept to yourself.”

7. Hairbands

10. Children’s language

–16, from the USA
11. Side parting
“They only look good on certain face shapes and often appear unbalanced.”
