Cancel culture. Many Gen Z'ers act like people are completely incapable of learning to be better, and instead only focus on one bad thing someone said a million years ago or something that was taken out of context.

Cancel Culture is erasing what's undesirable to some, (undesirable often with good reasons). But democratic processes need different opinions and open talk about that. Zapping out people doesn't stop their opinion, they just take it underground, feel oppressed and start to hate. Happens in China, happens in Russia. No good. To the commenters who think canceling equals boycotting: I disagree. Boycotting is an action you take for yourself and fully your right. It leaves the other one with a chance to overthink and adjust rather than just being dissolved and publicly erased.

Millennials Get Asked What Confuses Them About Gen Z, And Here're 30 Of Their Answers It may sound ignorant, so I apologize, but when I was in HS, we hated being labeled- now it seems people want their labels on display- whether it’s sexuality or learning differences, etc (ace, neurodivergent, etc). I respect it, I just remember not wanting to be boxed into labels.

I expect with the variance of labels people find it easier to find one that doesn't feel so restrictive? A lot of labels are self-identified now, as well, rather than slapped on like a post-it note. Still, there are plenty of people running around preferring to be a vague human blob...

They don't drink alcohol.

I went to a college football game recently and I was really surprised by what I saw... Back in the 2000s/2010s you would see what seem liked everyone getting HAMMERED in the AM. I'm talking shots at any bar you went to, doing pulls off liquor bottles on the street, whatever. It was routine to see people passed out places, getting loaded into ambulances, etc.

Obviously none of this is good and I'm not encouraging any of it but in my experience that's just what college football game day is like.

Fast forward to the game I went to recently and my group were the most drunk (number of people and drunk level) I think I saw all weekend. I'm not bragging, just saying it's really strange to go in to a college bar before the game and do a couple of shots while "the kids these days" look at you like you're crazy.

We followed up with some research and apparently all of the stats back it up. With Gen Z it's official - alcohol isn't "cool" anymore - which is a good thing because it is absolutely terrible for a variety of reasons.

The fashion.

Listen, I'll be the first to admit I'm old, out of touch, probably look like a f*****g dork to young people. I'm fine with not understanding and letting fashion be the domain of the youth. Teens set trends. That's how it's always been. I don't need to try to cling on.

That being said, since we're being honest here,

The baggy pants. The chunky shoes and dad style white sneakers. The mullets. The serial killer glasses. Bucket hats. Crocs.

It's all so...Frumpy. Sexless. I don't get it.

BUT I will say, props to Gen Z though for being cool and forward thinking and giving a s**t about one another and the planet and being so open minded and rejecting old social constructs and binaries around identity. The kids are alright.

How much Gen Z reveals about themselves on the internet. I've seen TikToks where kids are showing videos of their street, their house, their school...pretty much everything anyone would ever need to follow you and/or potentially do bad things to you. If you want to document your life online that's fine, but be careful. People can do a whole lot with a little bit of information, and the internet can be a really dangerous place if you're not careful.

I had originally attended the same University from 2004 to 2006 and I honestly didn't notice a huge difference between my generation and theirs, if anything, they seemed more open and accepting. I remember having a hard time fitting in and no one really talked to me during that first college experience (admittedly I was, and still can be, a bit shy and awkward).

These kids can't get away from it when it's at school and then all their social media.

But it seems like people younger than me don't know how to use these programs and it baffles me. Why would schools not still be teaching them?

Just told my kid today that I will be constantly talking to them without a pause, while they are concentrating getting stuff in the store one day when they are grown up. OH, the fun I'll have.

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.” ― Socrates Some things never change - and I'm referring to the ability of people to complain about stupid s**t.

I feel that every generation is going to complain needlessly about the generation before and/or after them. I'm an Millennial, but I deeply admire Gen-z's activism--I feel like they are the movers and shakers who won't sit still and be complacent.They push for change and growth and I really respect that. Do I think that some Gen-z "aesthetics" are bizarre--hell yeah. However, I have no right to talk since I come from the generation that wore tiny dresses over flared jeans while rocking the world's chunkiest highlights.

I'm still impressed how some GenZ people take so much for granted and make me feel like i cherish worthless things. Like i had to wait for a specific movie to watch in TV and made big deal of it, while today you simultaneously watch the movie on NetFlix, hear your music on spotify while playing your downloaded game with your friends over internet and look something up on the smartphone while you wait 5 seconds to respawn :)

I teach first year university students. They are fine and in no way worse than we were at their age. People always criticize the new generation for some reason.

Fwiw this is no different than posts of boomers complaining about millennials - looks like millennials are transitioning into the grumpy "kids these days..." phase as easily as every gen before them.

I for one am looking forward to shaking my cane in the air and ranting about "kids these days" and "In my time".

Whoever they are, boomer, X, Y, Mil, Z, I lost track, always complain about generations before/after them. It's not about generations, it's about what one chooses to do

I refuse to join in bashing the generation below me. Get the f**k over yourselves, whiners.

I'm a late X and I love the Zs. They're savvy, informed and tolerant of diversity.

RELAX: They are just adapting to and making a world we will never know or worse, find ourselves irrelevant. The kids are alright.
