So tired of these "Gen Z are..." articles. They're always horseshit.

It's just how things rotate out. Gen X had it, Millenials had it, now it's Gen Z's turn. It gets views from older generations who want any excuse to look down on those who've come after, and the generation in-question when they see the headline and think "what? Who the fuck is doing that? What are they talking about?"

Get ready for it to go on through the next decade or so.

(That said, it is horseshit, and "that's how it's always been" is no excuse to let things continue like that. I wouldn't mind seeing an end put to it, myself)

Except nobody cares about gen x. The poor forgotten generation.

Case in point, watch this excellent ad, and see how gen x are treated. :-)

Remember the time when Millennials spent all their money on avocado toast and then killed the napkin industry?

These sorts of puff pieces are all just there to fill up space/content.

"Gen Z ruining clickbait 'Gen Z are ruining industry' industry. Will they never realize complaining about them has been a national pastime for 400 years?"
