There have been a lot of talks and discussions about how different generations are and how that affects them understanding each other and getting along. Having this in mind, Reddit user @Prolificvisions decided to ask: “Gen Z, what are some trends, ideologies, social things, etc. that millennials did that you're not going to continue?” The question that got 12.4k upvotes got generation Z naming things that they find weird and annoying, such as not having any privacy or choosing a stable job that they don’t like instead of going for their dream. They also named some of the rather funny answers such as getting rid of the fashion of “weird-a** eyebrows.” 

If you are Gen Z, what things would you say “bye” to? Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. You don't get offended on other peoples behalf. You stand up for what is right because it is right.

    Bit why should the next generation be any different to the generations before. Generations have been hating on those that came before and after since before we started assigning trendy labels to them. (Incidentally, what came before the Silent Generation?)

    This. Even in a very progressive city in California, it was extremely normal to hear growing up in the 90s and I'm ashamed at how long it took me to understand how ignorant and hateful it is. Now I have a visceral reaction when my older siblings say it, and I try to encourage better ways of expressing themselves when I hear it!

    They can't use the data that you do not provide. Make it your second nature on social media to lie just about anything and be a pregnant 72 year old female lumberjack working in the Sahara while living in Washington DC with a awfully long daily commute and a craving for pickled herring with pineapple pizza and Budweiser beer.

    I've never understood the hatred for a particular font. People hate comic sans like it's written in the blood of infants. WTF is that?

    3 years ago DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Comic sans is seen as an easy-read font (I believe it was actually invented to help with dyslexia), and therefore associated with children's reading. Which makes it fine for the under-14s section of a library, but not for the important presentation to a board of directors. It's not universal hatred of a font, it's using a font which is deemed "unprofessional" and "childish" in corporate settings. Obviously. (Eye-roll)

    What's wrong with wanting to feel nostalgic? Is it because you don't know what we're talking about? My mom grew up in the 60s and 70s and when she talks about something she had but I didn't, it doesn't bother me.

    30 Millennial Trends Gen Zers In This Online Group Are Sick And Tired Of Work for money, not for passion.

    I know it’s depressing but recently a lot of younger millennials were talking about how they want to do something they like. My coach is getting a PhD in history, My economics teacher is going to Law School because she doesn’t make enough etc. and I just can’t think of a reason to justify that much debt. Basically they’re putting themselves in tons of debt to make enough money in something they enjoy. I can’t see a reason to justify it enough. I just want to find a field I’m GOOD at and don’t hate.

    30 Millennial Trends Gen Zers In This Online Group Are Sick And Tired Of I say this as a "millennial" (though must point out the lines between the two are blurred aren't they?) -

    Facebook

    I have friends also in their early 30s who had kids young. In high school now, teenagers. NONE of that age group use Facebook. It's an "old person's thing" to them. Though being 12/13 it is invariably described as "gay", but you get my point.

    As someone who works in the music industry, we plough literally millions (collectively) into Facebook ads each year. But within the next few years it will no longer be our primary social media target.

    Which is a shame, because as one of the first and most established social media platforms, it has great advertising tools.

    Don't see why being social should be discontinued. People are a social species who can suffer from loneliness. If you want a society where dead people behind closed doors become the norm, you should definitely ban being social.
