    In my head Gen-Zs are still in their late teens to early 20s. Why some of these people look like they're in their mid-30s 😂
  • @Weatherman4Eva
    Jesus you picked the most holier than thou Gen Z people you could. All these little weirdos think theyre the first generation of people to tout concepts of free love and label themselves as less "-ist" than any other generation
  • @alimfuzzy
    So basically, this turned into a platform of what's wrong with older generations 😂 Thats the most Gen-Z thing ever.
  • I came here to learn about GenZ, But since it was mostly complaining about the older generations, I guess I learned all I needed to know.
  • Even the old Greek complained about their kids as spoilt. This will never change. But GenZ can share information about things going wrong while the others often thought that the status quo is "widely accepted " although everyone was secretly annoyed.
  • @SheilaMoraes_
    lets have this conversation again when they turn 30
  • @mikeFolco
    Takes themselves way too seriously.
  • @thebowandbullet
    Debunking a gross generalization about a whole generation of people by asking a few individuals to make gross generalizations about other generations. How about we just don't make sweeping assumptions about any groups?
  • @amalpm7986
    I am GEN-Z. These peeps looks wayyyyyyy older.
  • @mariniikk
    not half the video being abt polyamory 😂
  • @fuosdi64
    These are like the oldest Gen Z'ers possible. Im guessing they were born at the start (1997).
  • Hey Gen Z here... To be perfectly honest we fit most of the 'misconceptions' listed in this video. We're impatient, whiny, insecure, overly-sensitive, stressed, lazy, and complain all the time (which relates to whiny - I'm even complaining about us right now). Growing up with the Internet and such fast access to social media and so many other things has, I think, screwed us up. Not to mention growing up in COVID, our creativity is at a depressing low (which is also demonstrated by the lack of new ideas in the 'new' music that comes out nowadays. It's rare to find something actually new and revolutionary, and let's be honest when it does happen it's usually Jacob Collier being a genius). I do not like my generation and I wish I was born at a different time, but still we're not the worst generation, which I think is at the moment Gen Alpha
  • @stupid90able
    I feel like every complaint people have about Gen Z is pretty similar to the complaint people had about millennials not too long ago. I still remember everyone shitty on millennials. Now everyone is shitting on us Gen Z
  • @johntom5562
    So to discuss Gen Z you got a bunch of inner-city, late 20 somethings? Doesn't seem very accurate
  • @futuristica1710
    My parents were hippies … So “old people” were more free than Z.
  • @I1p
    People keep on hating on me for being apart of Gen Z saying I’m always on my phone, think that I’m sensitive and that I believe that I’m a washing machine (people think I identify as stuff that I don’t).
