Is a age that is both full of, and devoid of opportunities. I feel like being a adult is just lying about how much you have your shit together to people who also lie about having their shit together. After we got out of college, we are just going to sit in front of a computer like the generations before us for the rest of our life, with the only difference of be paided less then them. I don’t want to be like this. I want my life to be more then this. I want to go out explore and change the world. When we gen z first comes to high school the world seems full of opportunities, we imagine us achieving great things, but not one of us could have imagined the entire generation having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18.

To all the Gen Z, and in the future, Gen Alpha. Welcome to the 2020s, welcome to late stage captalism.

    So if gen z was in the place of boomers, they would have done differently?

    I don’t think so. Each person has similar needs. Safety and power comes from money, and money comes from careers or inheritance.

    It doesn’t matter which year you are born. You all join the circus going on here on earth. And you can only influence your little bit of a single corporation.

    If you are a politician, you influence laws, but those laws are often easily bypassed and exploited for profit.

    So I wouldn’t blame generations of people for anything they did. Just like I don’t blame Gen Z for being how they are. They are a product of their environment, same as everyone before them.

      Okay… I don’t now why that’s massively relevant to what I was saying. I wasn’t arguing anything in particular other than saying that I’ve not seen that stereotype being zoomer v boomer and mostly seen it millennial v boomer
