Gen Z Jake Paul beats Gen X Mike Tyson for Intergenerational Meme War

Sigh.

We, and by we I mean all us jaded Gen Xers, WE wanted to see Mike Tyson smash the bejesus out of Gen Z Jake Paul.

Gen Xers would have preferred to have fought a Millennial or a Boomer, but Jake seems to have been the only generation who managed to work their shit out and organise one.

Millennials are woke kill joys so smashing one of them would have been fun and Boomers are greedy fucks who have not died off and are running the world by Working From Home in their plush lush leafy suburbs.

Millennial’s would have cancelled Tyson and no Boomer is that stupid, so Gen Z it is.

Firstly, you really do have to salute Jake.

As the first real YouTube star, his mix of marketing genius and stupid stunts has made him insanely rich and influential.

His promotional arm that put together this fight on Netflix was very clever.

He had the most followed influencer in Brazil, an Indian fighter from the most populous country on the planet, two Mexicans fighting each other and the two best female boxers on the planet – the only way you would have gained more audience share is if Jake Paul had found a Palestinian and an Israeli to fight followed by a cage match fight between Zelensky and Putin refereed by Trump.

His vision of beating a Gen X legend like Tyson however demanded a beat down for the ages.

Sadly we got exactly what a Gen Xerox fighting a Gen Z actually looks like, and that’s a stiff legged Tyson who needed a cup of a tea and a lie down.

Gen Z Jake Paul beats Gen X Mike Tyson for Intergenerational Meme War and we will never hear the end of it.

Gen Z wins, Gen Xers are left to sulk and plot Boomer over throw knowing in the back of our minds that as soon as we take out the Boomers, Gen Z will steal it all off us while carrying us to watch it on Netflix.

Bloody Gen Z!
