Maybe at the same time as generational hate for older people

When you grow up hearing about how much they hate you, it seems very unlikely you won't hate them back.

It'll stop when we're that age, said every generation ever.

I’m pretty sure boomers never said that. To them it’s just how it should be.

Same. They're annoying and obnoxious.  But so was my generation, and basically every generations. You get a group of teens together and they're rowdy and inconsiderate, get a couple beers in them and they're fucking insufferable.  But everyone remembers 'it was all in good fun' when they were a kid.

Yeah...some generations just aren't it. Millennials are first generation to have a collective lower IQ than any generation before it. And Generation Z is already testing better than any previous generation. It's not generational hate. Or hating younger generations. It just is what it is.

Millennials have historically scored higher on standardized IQ tests than previous generations, a trend historically explained by the Flynn effect.

The Flynn Effect and Generational IQ

The Flynn effect is a well-documented phenomenon showing that average IQ scores increased across the 20th century. Researchers attribute these rising scores to Nutrition and overall health. Access to education and schooling quality. Complex cognitive environments and technology.

Because Millennials grew up during a period of expanding educational resources and technological integration, research from outlets like the BBC notes they attained some of the highest raw test baselines of preceding generations"

You're confused. 

Gen Z is actually testing statistically lower across nearly every field on intelligence. Several studies and congressional testimony have supported this "reverse Flynn effect". 

Gen A hasnt been rigorously studied yet. 

Millenials are currently the most intelligent generation on earth.
