There has been a scary rise of millennials making horrific “raps” to try and dunk on Gen Z.

When Gen Z briefly mentioned that they weren’t really fans of skinny jeans and side parts a few weeks back, millennials took offence to the idea that they were possibly old and uncool — which started the world’s weirdest culture war.

But somewhere along the way white, female 20 and 30-somethings decided that, for reasons unknown, the best course of action was to… start creating their own diss tracks to drag zoomers in response.

Take this now-deleted track from “Mammy Banter”, for example, where the millennial “raps” over an instrumental of Lizzo’s ‘Boys’.

“I like skinny jeans and my side part. I use this emoji, and I like the heart. So you think we’re old, well I ain’t having that. We give you WiFi, and we can take it back,” the mortifying lyrics said.

But it somehow actually gets worse.

TikTok user, @cassiesmith607, made her own cringeworthy diss track after she found out that Gen Z was apparently now “trying to cancel Eminem”.

The whole cancel Eminem movement started when Gen Z noticed the controversial lyrics of ‘Love the Way You Lie’, where the rapper says “if she ever tries to fucking leave again, I’ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire”.

In response to the concerns over his lyrics, Cassie found it necessary to produce her own 30-second rap in defence of Eminem. In it, she takes shots at zoomers loving “rappers [who] are mumbling gibberish” and their ages being deserving of a “time out”. Wow! What a burn!

Anyway, it’s bad. And look, Eminem is problematic. Being offensive and disrespectful is literally his whole shtick, so he definitely didn’t need some 30-year-old woman coming to his defence with an awkward “diss track” which has absolutely no concept of timing and rhythm.

Thankfully, comedian Chris Fleming has taken the piss out of these diss track-loving millenials, in his own TikTok disguised as yet another Gen Z-hating rap.

Fleming, the genius behind the iconic mega-viral Gayle ‘COMPANY IS COMING’ YouTube video, plays ‘Caroline’ and starts his TikTok by altering the lyrics to Ludacris’ ‘Move Bitch’ to become ‘Move Gen Z’.

“Move Gen Z, get out the way,” Caroline says before the vibe of the video immediately changes into a moment of self-reflection.

“What am I doing? Jesus Christ Caroline, is Gen Z the enemy… or is it time? Is Father Time the problem? Not these gay children,” Caroline questions herself. “Tiempo de papa, when did you start coming for me so fast?”

“I’m not even that passionate about being a millennial, it’s just I don’t feel like I have anything anymore,” she continues. “Sure, in my 20s I was destabilised but at least I had my youth. Now, I’ll be dead by winter.”

“So yes… I wrote bad lyrics where I pretend to be proud of stereotypes and trends loosely associated with my generation — trends that I don’t even particularly like,” the inward reflection continues. “Maybe I don’t know what I like… because maybe I just know how to get by.”

“They’re just gay children Caroline, let them do things that you’ll never understand,” Caroline concludes her video. “You can go into the woods and build a beautiful home out of moss and quote The Office, the American version, to all the foxes and crows.”

“I’m sorry Gen Z. I’m just a witch trying to steal a baby.”

Pure cinematic brilliance, really.
