Generation Z

[sdp]

Gen Z are all becoming adults and working going to college etc, the current generation growing up is now Alpha. It was like 10 years ago when you kept seeing articles "millenials are killing XXXX_" some dead ass industry that made no longer sense so that'll happen again. "Zoomers are killing XXXX" or whatever outdated form of culture that is no longer relevant. The whole gender and mental diagnosis fad will soon end since it's just the rebellious teenage thing of their generation so give it a few more years. 90s kids had Jnco jeans, my generation had emo make up. Everyone needs to rebel somehow in their teenage years, it's perfectly fine and if 80s boomers had video tech ready as easy to use as it is today then they'd have plenty of cringy ass **** on youtube trying to be rebellious as well. I can't judge them too harshly.

Hey, I guess embrace your illiteracy. No one here is taking you seriously anyway.

Generation Z is awesome and no one can convince me otherwise.

In many ways, I find them to be even more anti-liberal and radical left or right than the generations before them. The boomers before them accelerated centrist liberalism and its good to see Gen Z pushing back on much of it super hard.

I also love the Generation Z work ethic, demanding off time when needed and not slaving away for corporations. Its not a badge of honour to work while sick and unwell, or to not take any holidays.

I am Gen Z and proud. I stand with my fellow young people and not the old farts!

Explains a lot then, I guess.

Sorry, Gen X will always be cooler than you. You older Millennials are kinda okay, too. At least you came up with your own name. Z couldn't even do that, they just gotta lazily ride our coat tails instead.

Edit: How do you figure they're more anti-liberal when they're the group the excessive gender/sexuality identity flag waving, odd pronouns, etc came from. I thought those were evils of "leftists."


Watched that "Adolescence" series on Netflix a couple nights ago. Not condoning violence on kids, so figuratively speaking... god damn 75% of those kid characters are punchable. Terrible age anyhow, but good lord the BS is turned up to 11 compared to previous generations, and I've seen people around that age and adults who deal with that age group online already saying the behavior (at least of younger Z's) is portrayed pretty accurately. (Bye last thread of any hope for humanity.) Defiant attitudes, sassy mouths, a bit of entitlement is typical, fine, but this mindset that they're now in control of everything, even their interactions with adults, makes you want to deck those kids. Some species eat their young... could be a good argument for cannibalism. lol

Swear to god, my nephew (Alpha) gets like that and I'm duct taping him to the ceiling until he's 20.

I'd argue alot of that stuff originated well before Gen Z but even if it came from Gen Z, I'd argue that the politically centred are more tolerant of LGBT flag waving, pronouns etc.

The further left you go, the more communist you become, and real communist movements have been very hostile towards LGBT in a way that's very similar to the far right.
