Weird grouping with Gen Z being 3 years older than the max
But the way they use the computer and internet shows they aren’t risk adverse, just different risks
The anxiety is probably because like millennials, they’ve been told the world is ending their whole lives and instead of doing anything about it we’ve just made the middle class poor
Don't forget the rapid fire misinformation they are addicted too. Manipulation is off the charts
People like Tate and Peterson have done immeasurable damage to Gen Z... Instagram was deeply damaging to women's mental health but the manosphere has done damage that will probably never be undone.
Millennials were not told that. Millennials grew up on in the golden era and then it all fell apart on them when they became adults. They were raised on high hopes.
I mean... I'm 29 and grew up being told that everything my parents enjoyed would literally never be a reality for me. I was 14 when the economy crashed in 2008 and 17 when gas prices first started spiking and never went down. I had to take out a $40k loan just for 1 year of university when my parents had the chance to graduate nearly debt-free and use their summer jobs to qualify for a mortgage.
Maybe you're thinking of Gen X or something, because I really wouldn't consider 1995-2015 (roughly the time when Millennials were coming of age) a golden era.
Kyoto protocol was 1997, and that was just extending a climate treaty from 1992
You’re thinking of boomers
I hate these articles that try to paint entire generations of people with the same brush.
I don't think any article about generations is doing that when they point out percentages vs other generations. Groups exist, generations are a thing. It's gonna be ok buddy.
I think there are some things we need to learn about people that grew up on the unregulated internet. I normally hate generation generalizations but Millenials (at least us 80s kids) were the last people who got to grow up without the internet being omnipresent in our lives before we hit puberty.
You make an excellent point.
Maybe that's why so many American young people voted Red in this election.
In normal circumstances I'd understand that, but describing Trump particularly as risk-averse is kind of an interesting take imo
Keep them scared, keep them voting Republican.
and here the rest of us thought the tumblr "guess i'm gonna die" memes were just silliness. guess they meant it, huh.
As the saying goes, there's a grain of truth in every joke.
People love to scapegoat the parents of the prior generation but I believe we're gonna find out the plastics or some other environmental toxin had a substantial impact and causal Relationship with this sort of thing.
Well if that's true, I sure hope they don't become leaders in creative industries. There's already a lack of risk taking in favor of bland bullshit that tries to have mass appeal.
There's a big difference between not wanting to be a (teenage) parent and not having any imagination?
Sorry to say that from the Gen Z I know they're even more into big brands and "collabs". It's disheartening how much more deeply they've been sucked into the big corporate marketing machine.
Uh... sports gambling?
Uh... what?
This article is focused on traditional measures of risk (drinking and sex) and is ignoring novel forms of risk... Gen Z appears to be extremely active in the gambling markets (particularly sports and political) in a way that older folks simply haven't engaged in.
Oh. I see.
If it's from MSU, it can safely be ignored.
