Millennials are older than Gen Z. Why would a Gen Z'er be sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper? Gen Z would be born between 1997 and 2012, these people basically grew up online.

He's just committed to the vintagecore aesthetic

I suspect the author meant Gen X, but was too busy laughing at their own joke to bother checking which generation is which

But it's not even millennial lingo.

Exactly. If anything it should be Gen Z (or Alpha) saying those things

Could be an engagement tool.

Gen z are all about the retro stuff they didn't grow up with

Millennials: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that's when they were growing up.

Gen Z: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that's when there was still some hope in the world.

Gen alpha: not old enough yet to be nostalgic (but will probably be nostalgic for the pre-trump/pre-covid days of the US).

I read that as Gen X. Gen Z makes no sense.
