You must love them if this is the worst thing to say

Way to comfortable with being toxic af on social media.

I dont really follow zombie tv shows, is that a spin-off from the walking dead ?

Indifferent mostly

I hate them leading by far.

an older generation disliking the newer one? i am absolutely shocked

inb4 people list a bunch of reasons which are the same reasons every generation has ever given

I think they're victims of predatory social media trends. Their taste in games is terrible too.

Otherwise they don't seem like bad people, they appear to be way less tolerant of shitty workplace practices and I'm proud of them for that

I'm Gen Z.
Voted for I hate them.

I don't love them, but see them favorable as the kids of late boomers, gen exers and the oldest millennials. I have cousins and cousins kids that are gen zers. I can't hate them.

Academically the most intelligent and educated proportionally(as each newer generation should be). Resourceful and tech savvy from growing up in the digital media age and many have become entrepreneurs from using social media.. They're more socially tolerant of people's differences, but also the most sensitive with self identity. They are the most self-absorbed generation, and a lot has to do with social media trends. Tiktok, twitter, and instagram.

Less tolerant of working at shitty places, but they also have the least amount of work experience. Out of college especially, many feel really self-entitled and impatient and expect to get promoted fast to get the same amount of money someone with more experience and effort has earned. They speak up on social issues and work place environments and want a work life balance more than anything. A lot don't believe in loyalty to companies and just see want to see it as working as business partners and a paycheck, which I'm not saying is wrong, but its hard to say if it will impact work culture in a negative way in the long run.

I think a lot of it will change as they grow older and gain more experience. They inherited a lot of shitty stuff caused by the older generations (particularly boomers). Living and college is expensive as hell. But anyway, ,ost are really young. 9-24 currently I think is the age range?

They annoy me about as much as my fellow millennials do so, eh, I voted love em. Least they aren't Gen-Xers who do shitty things just like Boomers do but manage to hide from the lens of generational hatred because Boomers can't help but advertise how shitty they are lol.

Very sus if you know enough Gen Z people to have an opinion on them

Don't really even know. I think the shift between Gen Z and later millennials is actually exceedingly minimal. At least with millennials who grew up with ready access to computers. I do think the Gen after Gen Z though - so those who had access to smartphones and ipads in elementary school - will be a definite sea shift away from current young adults.

Most people here are 30+ now. Not hard to have Gen Z kids, or friends with Gen Z kids. IIRC, Gen Z are between 10 years old and 25 years old this year.

It's not sus at all. I have younger z cousins and second cousins, and I have coworkers who are also z an fresh out of college. Also younger z classmates I had when I was in college.

They don't all fit in the stereotypes. A lot of it comes from inexperience and demanding more after paying tons from college. They are trying to change things though. A lot of it can come down to how they were raised and the environment they grew up in. It's also not really their fault really. Cost of living are high as hell.

The Youngest millennials (notably late 20s) and early z are have really similar in behavior and values, such differ from older generations.

From what i've experienced at work, theres a trend with younger milennials and older z.. They care about work life balance more than older generations, and are less willing to put in more hours, and usually just want to get by. But many of those also expect promotions when they aren't deserving/time isn't right. They aren't married to their jobs and more likely just see it as business transaction, and are more likely to job hop than older generations for a pay raise.

Its hard to have an opinion of 10 year olds. You can only really go off of how their parents raise them. I think Gen x and older milennial parents are less strict (but understanding) and give in more to them. Both parents are likely working as well (especially with the increased cost of living), but remote working in post covid has helped. So if their parents aren't around too much and just give them an ipad or smartphone most of the day because they feel bad or tired and can't parent instead of spending time with them outside, they will be deficit in some things.

But anyway, I'm really just have an opinion on young adults to the oldest z.

my siblings are gen z. im gen z. i worked and went to school with ppl who are gen z. i live and breath gen z

I'm very uncomfortable generalizing an entire range of people born in an arbitrary set of years.

gen x indiference

Generations don't exist.

I have none. I don't interact with them often.

I also am a firm believer in kids can have things I don't understand. So I try to reserve judgement.

My brother's kids are Z, I think.
His oldest kid just turned 15, or is that something else?

Who's after Z?

Gen Alpha is after Gen Z, everyone 12 and under falls under it.
