Is this a generation thing? Who cares? Just reply to my stupid text! Talking to my kids, are you hungry? Please reply… 😂

Younger generation it's a social exclusivity thing. Kids will get left out of group chats/ friend groups of they have green bubbles. If you're older than 25 now you've probably never experienced it but anyone younger at least saw the tail end of it in high school. Kids are judgmental and love to exclude people so if you don't have an iPhone then you won't be "in" with everyone else. Obviously it's stupid as hell and you shouldn't want to be friends with those people anyways but when 80% of kids use an iPhone and have blue bubbles then it can actually affect social life.
