Nah, Gen X was hella more grimey than Gen Z. Gen Z is bytchmade in comparison. Look at the crime rates from the 80’s and 90’s in most cities compared to now and get back to me. If you wasn’t alive and aware of the world by the late 80’s and early 90’s, you’ll never understand.
You couldn’t even go into some shopping malls in the 80’s and early 90’s without a 50-75% chance of being robbed by a mob of wild teenagers (i.e. Albee Square Mall in Brooklyn). Early millennials from the hood who had the roughest childhoods like Robert Yummy Sandifer were also hella more savage than current Gen Z and Yummy was a commonality in every hood back in the early 90’s.
Gen Z are proud pranksters for God’s sake.

They go around trying to record themselves pranking people to go viral on social media. Gen X and older millennials would rather die than be labeled as pranksters.
Gen Z in the suburbs running around with no self awareness trying to act like they were born and raised in the trenches but are soft as baby shyt. Go around trying to start shyt but can’t fight, no hands, not clapping anybody if they do have guns and all posturing.

Nobody knows their lane anymore. These same Gen Z acting like they hard would’ve been skater kids a few years ago but they brainwashed by drill music. They’ll be cringing at this stage in their development a few years from now if they have two brain cells to rub together.
Yeah, youngins in the field in Chicago, Philly, Baltimore etc. getting it in... but youngins from the hood hood been getting busy every era.

And gentrification has made it so places that were hood as fukk are now full of Whole Foods and Starbucks and low crime rates.
