  1. Can people stop hating on each other and just enjoy the things they want to enjoy? Life’s hard enough already.

  2. Gen Z wearing what previous Gen’s did, not sure why they mocking those that came before them.

    Genz fashion is what millennials wore in the 90s and early two thousands so they really are in no position to talk about what millennials are wearing.

  4. It’s not about fashion or style, it’s the hypocrisy. No one cares whether you’re apple or android. It’s about those who think they’re still young and deserve to be accepted by younger colleagues, but at the same time treat them as competitors or “kids” when it matters.

    It’s a generation that still thinks they’re the vanguard of progress and somehow convinced itself that even those younger than them who view *them* as the establishment as somehow having been won over by the anti-progress.

    It’s identifying as being culturally and sexually progressive while hitting on people 20 years their junior or bringing out jokes and experiences that absolutely would not be acceptable among those in their twenties.

    Honestly in fact I would even consider this misunderstanding and misappropriating of the term itself, whether it be intentional and conscious or not, to be another symptom of the very same dynamic.

    And before anybody feels like they’re catching strays, people don’t just see someone in their forties and immediately hate them. It’s a term specifically reserved for those who show these tendencies. It’s not a generational hatred, it’s a value hatred.

  5. Lmao no generation who worships Lee Junseok is going to mock me about being cringe and in my 40s

  6. Nothing about Gen Z style is unique yet they mock other generations for having distinct style
