I can't speak for other nations around the globe but at least in the United States, I feel that even the conservative GenZ'ers which I know there are a lot of, are less rightwing than the GenX or Boomer generations. At least when I talk to my "self-proclaimed" conservative friends and family (around my age), they are far more open to supporting proposed legislation (in the US) such as Medicare for all, drug decriminalization and cancelling student loan debt. More importantly, I feel that they and all of us are more open to listening to opposing political views. Could it perhaps be that we are more aware of biases and misinformation in all sides of social media? Would you agree that this is true or is it merely anecdotal? I know that GenZ and *Millennials* as a whole are far more left leaning than prior generations, at least in the US so I'm guessing that the more conservative of us should be as well.
Just to add: most of us Americans have a different perception of what is right-leaning and what is left-leaning. For example, Bernie Sanders, a Democratic Socialist, is considered to be very progressive and left-leaning to most Americans. To the far right republicans, he is considered a radical leftist. However, on the global scale, he is quite centrist and far from radical.
GenZ roasting millennials is hilarious as they are essentially a younger more extreme version of us thats just begging for attention.
And what’s even more ironic is that the 90’s are back. Yeah keep on roasting us telling us were lame while dressing/listening to stuff we literally grew up on bahaha.
Also, your TikTok dance challenges are stupid just like the ice bucket challenge.
Edit: To be clear, it’s fine to roast generations and poke fun at them…..I am simply stating that a lot of GenZ(ers) I have met are very similar to Millennials and the trending roasts (tiktok, instagram, etc) are actually self-roasts.
The latest birth-date at which people could remember 9/11 is an issue that, I think we can agree, is thrashed out from time to time on subreddits like this. Watching over a documentary on the issue earlier today, an often-overlooked item from Reddit's r/GenZ is a comment made I think in 2018 or 2019 from somebody claiming to remember 9/11 being born in 2000 - the exact words being:
"I know people won't believe me, that's why I never tell anyone, but I swear I remember 9/11. I've looked up things about this and it's very rare, but possible to have memories at a year old. I would've been 20 months old, so only 4 months before my 2nd birthday, 9/11 is my earliest memory, my 2nd birthday is my second earliest memory I can think of.
I was born January 2000 and I remember it being on TV being next to my parents, I remember they were talking and my mom was crying, but I didn't know what they were talking about or what was going on since I was so very young."
The statement was supplied to me by the user "GhostLocksmith".
Is it possible to remember anything from such an age? In theory - yes. There is research that suggests that some people remember things from being aged 1. Statistically - remembering from that age is unlikely, and there are numerous issues with cases like this especially - 1. memories from before age 2 are usually forgotten by age 5. 2. earliest memories don't tend to be news stories.
The youngest person, that I know personally IRL, who claims to remember 9/11 was born in October 1999... don't have enough detail to know what to make of that claim.
Disclaimer: eu tenho uma forte aversão a como a tese geracional de Howe-Strauss foi adotada em massa, tanto por não ter base científica, como também pela falta de uma contextualização para a história de outros países que não são os Estados Unidos. Mas para facilitar o entendimento, já que essa praga foi adotada em massa, vou usar os termos "genz", "millenial", "boomer", etc. Acredito que a essa altura já se formou um consenso sobre a quais faixas etárias esses termos se referem.
Pra quem tá por fora, rolou uma thread no twitter (https://twitter.com/tchulim/status/1405539094503956482) perguntando à galera mais nova (geração Z) o que eles acham que é a nossa geração (millenials) faz de brega e o resultado foi curioso. Até aqui, tínhamos um senso comum do que constitui a vergonha alheia, uma ideia coletiva antropomorfizada na lendária figura do tiozão. Agora, as definições foram atualizadas e não tínhamos ideia que falar de pagar boletos faz virar o olho do mais novos!
Alguns egos feridos, chacotas trocadas e todo mundo se chamando de "cringe": estamos tendo o primeiro gostinho do que é estar do lado da geração mais velha, no incessante ciclo de conflito geracional da humanidade. Rimos dos boomers por escrever tudo em capslock, de como são alheios ao conceito de gritar em texto, mas agora os genz caçoam da forma como usamos o emoji de risada. Discordamos do significado da abreviação "fds". Nossas postagens obcessivamente nostálgicas provocam neles a mesma ojeriza que sentíamos quando os mais velhos desdenhavam daquilo que gostávamos quando mais novos. Além de muitos outros exemplos que deixam claro: não somos mais a "geração atual".
Obviamente que é impossível ter uma ideia completa do que todos falam na internet, não fui a fundo em cada resposta da thread, o que tenho são apenas opiniões, uma ótica particular sobre o assunto. E claro, estou fazendo generalizações.
Estamos "trocando porrada" de forma saudável
Claro que muita gente se indignou. "Como assim, essa molecada que faz dancinha no TikTok vem me dizer o que é vergonha alheia?" e "eles nem pagam conta, por isso que tão reclamando!. Na minha bolha social, eu e meus contemporâneos estamos zoando a ideia de ser chamado de cringe, ficamos provocando os conhecidos mais novos perguntando se já pagaram boleto e que estamos tomando café da manhã e eles zoam de volta. O mais importante é que a discussão girou, basicamente, *em torno de

Dias has obviously had a great season for City and he fits in really well. But I don’t think he is that good as an individual. Alongside Stones, Cancelo, Laporte, Ederson, Rodri, Fernandinho he is good but I’ve seen him defend weakly for Portugal and City in one on ones. I’m not sure how unpopular this opinion is.
Well not totally Internetless but mostly I spent my childhood Internetless, well we've have Internet before but it was shitty & expensive and also our family was also affected by the great recession & also I grew up in a kinda poor suburban town in Arizona.
Cable and gadgets was our main source of entertainment and we only go to the Internet cafés if we want to surf the web or do something important. It was weird tbh.
We just had a permanent internet when I was 11 since we decided to live in New Hampshire and also the economy has grown well and also the quality of life as well
A ton of people on tiktok and just in general insult genz when most of gen z isn't like that in the slightest.is there a big difference between where people grow up and there experience with this shit cause a ton of people say gen z is shit and no one us like that where I'm from
me: *drops a pearl of wisdom*
votes: equal ratio of upvotes and downvotes (they go up and dip between -2 and +2 before settling on 1)
Z reply 1: thanks bestie
Z reply 2: get over yourself bitter millennial
Boomer reply: [something condescending]
Zs: coming at the boomer like The Hyenas on Scar
me (and i asssume X): michaeljacksoneatingpopcorn.gif
that is is all lol
I know this will gonna be controversial, i didn't intend to make a fight. Please bear with me
Well tbh tho I don't blame Gen Z for being too sensitive since as said in the Strauss-Howe generational theory that Zers or people under the "Artists" archetype are meant to be sensitive and empathetic since they grew up during crises. And also GenZ'ers experience crises like the War on terror, GFC '08, student debt crisis, climate change, COVID-19 Pandemic/recession and especially the culture war
And also Zers are heavily affected in the ongoing culture war, that's why they're so sensitive (or sometimes obnoxiously) on social issues
