The Truth
Gen Z and Millenials are like two kung fu students from the same master, except that millenials have alot of self doubt while being technically more experienced and stronger, and Gen Z is mentally weaker BUT they dont give a single fukk about impressing anybody, so they fight more freely and are more decisive... millenials are Ryu, Gen Z is Ken
Thats the best, nerdiest way I’ve heard this topic explained

Both have lack of guidance.

It really amazes me how out of touch a lot of y’all are, there ain’t shyt about us to be spooked about.

I think you all will be a pretty tough generation because economically and politically you are about to be handed a bag of shyt. You haven't even seen the worst yet.

But that cuts both ways--the brehs and brehettes that endure could be the most solid folks since the Depression generation. But the ones that don't cut it are going to hit the pavement hard, and with all the social and individual consequences that come from that.

I saw a comedian saying that kids now are self aware of all their issues but don’t do anything to work on them.

Seems accurate.

“I have anxiety. I’m not doing anything. I’m just telling you so that you deal with my shyt”

:unimpressed:
This is spot on. They are very in tune with themselves and prone to self diagnosis but not necessarily mature or able enough to actually deal with them

Somebody kilt the master in the temple... war on drugs, recessions, cultural revolutions, single parent households etc.... the difference is that millenials are trying their best to recreate what they "think" success should look like, very few (mostly the early 30s) are trying to just do THEM and innovate, while Gen Z is ALL about innovating and doing some new shyt being true to themselves.

The problem with Gen Z is that while they are much more creative and open minded, they're very soft when it comes to taking criticism whether constructive or not, and they are prone to getting stuck in echo chambers and thus stagnating. They dont really challenge shyt inside their worldview, once that worldview is made up.

Didn't the millenial generation go through the lead paint/gas fume era? And the high crime rate of the 90s that led to a federal crime bill? I think it's a case of social media and news being so prominent now compared to then. There is no violent local story that stays within those communities anymore. Every violent crime is now a national story on the internet.

If tough = gun violence, then yeah, they definitely tougher than 80s and 90s nikkas and on the same level as the post-Vietnam 70s nikkas

Kids nowadays have all type of recreational drugs & internet exposure, their dopamine & serotonin receptors are fried. Combined with the fact that in most states, buying a gun is like buying a honey bun out of a vending machine & the music has made it fashionable to spin the block with assault rifles & machine guns, these young nikkas are crazy as hell
