Differences from millennials that I've seen are:
Gen Z are all activists by nature/default, having come of age when politics was pop culture, whereas older millennials are a bit more balanced and less radical.
Gen Z paradoxically believe that sexual and gender identities are nonbinary, but that almost everything else sociopolitically is a stark binary of virtuous or evil, with nothing in between. Millennials are not at all like that.
Gen Z kids are the ones who police others' words and who are apt to point a finger and call out "witch!" and think nothing of tearing down a person's whole livelihood and reputation because of a single comment, even one that may have been misconstrued.
In that respect, I don't think I've ever seen a single young person of Gen Z age issue a mea culpa and admit to having been wrong about something. They seem entirely self-assured once they settle on the notion of someone being evil.
I think millennials are less religiously affiliated than people older than they are, but that gen Z people are far less religious as a whole.
However, astrology is extremely popular among gen Z people.
Gen Z slang is largely made up of slang popularized by RuPaul's Drag Race, an interesting mainstreaming of a subculture's language. They call people they like "queen" and "mother," etc.
I'm guessing because of the above, makeup is popular among boys and girls alike in Gen Z. It's a pastime. TikTok popularized 'get ready with me' videos in which young people blabber on with sociopolitical commentaries while piling on many layers of makeup, and girls and boys both do it.
Gen Z boys are as assimilated to a Barbie-standard ideal type of appearance as girls have been for many generations. It's more common than ever to see starved and ripped young men who live on supplements and are obsessive about their appearances.
Sex is less taboo to Gen Z than to any prior generation in our history. They grew up seeing porn on the Internet probably from toddlerhood, and they came of age seeing attractive people become wealthy selling their bodies online and they admire that as a career option.
Many are obsessive overachievers raised by overachieving executive Gen Xers whose identities are based on their credentials, and these kids still believe in Ivy-League universities based on status. More Gen Z than any other generation though reject higher education altogether.
This generation does not understand the idea of education for the sake of self-betterment, improved critical thinking and as a value itself. They've been told universities are a con and they reject the temptation and think they can create wealth for themselves through creating sexy or smart social media personas. Millennials still believed in college.
Gen Z probably is the most aware generation since the hippies that elected officials and journalists engage in propaganda and have an alarming influence on how we think and behave. Millennials were not very aware of this comparatively.
Gen Z don't have any real concept of how good movies about actual human beings can be; they think movie=CGI live-action comic books and Disney animations. Millennials were still exposed to some decent feature films before the Marvel takeover.
Most Millennials would have watched Star Trek, the Jetsons or read Nineteen Eighty-Four when they were young and would have had the impression that all of those are futuristic. Most gen Z kids would regard all of those as antiquated.

This video to me is a perfect representation of unique qualities of the Gen Z generation:
1. TikTok persona
2. Shirtless young guy. (If they are in decent shape, they are always shirtless because that always increases views and engagementsâvery creepy way to cultivate a person's personality IMO.)
3. Applying beauty products. In this case, it's a guy in probably his early 20s using plastic under-eye patches.
4. While applying his beauty products, making a declaration of what IS and IS NOT.
5. While applying his beauty products and making a declaration of what IS and IS NOT, CORRECTING another gen Z person who was doing the same but who is WRONG WRONG WRONG.
6. Kind of debating, but not actually debating using any kind of evidence or argumentation. Just declaring that someone is wrong, done through a passive-aggressive "Let's not pretend that..."
7. All in about 10 seconds, because that is the attention span of people today but especially young people, and short videos get more views and engagements, and THAT, my dears, is the entire point of doing anything.

They have very little in common with millennials. Millennials were out of high school by the time smartphones and social media took over the world, whereas Gen Z experienced a completely different world throughout their formative years. The phenomenon of latchkey kids ended completely with millennials too. The oldest millenials are now in their early 40s. There is a big difference between the older millenials and the younger millenials and the older zoomers and the younger zoomers. The rapid pace of changes in pop culture and particularly the impact that technology has had on social norms among young people has created a lot of generational gaps and I think that's a completely novel thing. I have a lot more in common with the experiences of a Gen Xer who is 20 years older than me, than I do with a zoomer who is 8 years younger than me simply because the iphone didn't come out until after I graduated. The Gen alpha kids who have been getting blasted by an iPad screen starting at age 4 I consider to be a new species altogether, an invasive one in fact. They'll make zoomers look like the silent generation.

I would say that social media and the internet started to become very much a thing in the mid 2000s but it was a novelty that people had a much healthier relationship with. The people who were obsessed were just nerdy outcasts, it would take quite a while before it completely usurped all of our social behaviors. I remember chatting with my friend group during my underclassmen years about how texting was a fad that would never really catch on, it's so much easier to call. Maybe a couple of rich kids had a blackberry my senior year, myspace was something you went on for 30 minutes at the end of the day, it was nothing like now.

They have a very undeserved sense of entitlement and importance.
Their anxiety becomes 'triggered' by any slight variation of their planned day, as they can't handle 'stress'.
They last at a new job, on average, for five months before they quit without notice. They find their older colleagues 'creepy', they feel 'bullied' by their boss, and are inconvenienced by the fifteen minute commute to work.

They don't know how to socialize in person. Their only form of socialization all their lives was on technology. They don't know how to make eye contact with someone, they don't know how to make conversation with someone, etc. If someone tries to make conversation with them, they feel uncomfortable and call you 'creepy'.
They also don't go on dates with anyone. If they consider themselves 'in a relationship' with someone, that means they text all day. The physical contact they have with each other is at their apartments (paid for by their parents) or their dorm room - in which they order food in via GrubHub or DoorDash. They don't go to restaurants. They don't go to movie theaters, either, for a date - they watch Netflix. They don't attend parties - the men have their 'buddies' come over to their apartment or dorm, drink beer, and play video games. The females gather together and watch 'The Bachelor'. And most perplexing - whether they are 'in a relationship or not' - they don't have sex.

I'm shocked at their inability to talk on the phone. On reddit, gay yutes make post after post about getting "ghosted". Someone usually asks them if they talked on the phone to get to know each other a bit and establish a rapport.
The answer is always no. They try to devise strategies to avoid getting ghosted, but talking on the phone beforehand, is a no-go.
Why?
They literally don't know how to carry on a conversation. And it terrifies them to even contemplate the act.

Generation Alpha has been born at a time of falling fertility rates across much of the world, and are experiencing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as young children. For those with access, children's entertainment has been increasingly dominated by electronic technology, social networks, and streaming services, with interest in traditional television concurrently falling. Changes in the use of technology in classrooms and other aspects of life have had a significant effect on how this generation has experienced early learning compared to previous generations. Studies have suggested that allergies, obesity and health problems related to screen time have become increasingly prevalent among children in recent years .

I heard someone recently say that we're all shedding our humanity in a social sense because of technology. Intimacy has been thrown away because of porn and on-demand sex apps like Grindr. People only look at one another when talking on Zoom or Facetime; in person, they look at their devices. Our minds have reprogrammed themselves not to connect with other human beings, not to make eye contact, but to make eye-to-screen contact.
Younger people are even more modified because instead of conversing and discussing and relating with human beings, developing complex and nuanced relationships, they broadcast themselves and tally quantified engagements and likes and shares. They understand base human desires better than older people did because the data don't lie, but they only understand and care about base human desires because those are what get them the social media stats they covet.
They don't want friends; they want followers.
They learn to give people what they want to get what they want. All things are transactional manipulations.
Years ago, it was considered demeaning to strip or sell sex. Then it became 'sex positive' to understand that those are not inherently shameful behaviors. Now stripping and fucking on camera are just means to get to the fulfillment of income and followers.
Looking attractive paradoxically is more important than ever because conventionally pretty or 'hot' people are the only ones who amass huge followings.
They don't believe in education because it won't help them gain followers, which means money; only being pretty and on top of trends can accomplish that.
And they are right. People with tens of thousands of followers or more can easily secure a book deal from a major publisher *even if they can't write.* And a brilliant writer with few followers cannot.
Young people's backward evolution into less-sophisticated, more basic types of animals is a product of real-world inputs and rewards.

by Anonymous | reply 143 | May 13, 2023 7:20 PM |
R142 interesting question, thanks for asking.
It's a multifaceted answer, and obviously different according to the individual. One common complaint reported though is that the social and instinctual 'rules' of eye contact in various situations and relationships are too complex and subtle for us to understand naturally, and as we're never taught it explicitly as children it's a painful learning curve replete with social landmines to 'get it' and pass as someone who hasn't had to study it.
E.g. I've been told off or given shit before because I looked too long or didn't look at all at someone, lost in confusion about whether or not I should and if so when. For many years, I couldn't seem to time it right or judge the appropriate moment to gaze or look away. Maturity, experience, gentle hints and work to reduce social anxiety help that. One trick I love is to visually trace or spot someone's iris with a soft gaze as they're speaking for just a few long seconds, as it makes them feel respected and heard without feeling like they're under a microscope.
In my specific case, it's also a matter of intimacy, social safety & control. Over the course of my life I've misunderstood and misjudged so often, over both ASD and other things, that I don't like to feel too closely connected to people unless I'm very sure of them as emotionally 'safe' people (an absurd concept intellectually, I know there's no truly 'safe' person as we're all capable of harm). What's more, I grew up with a neglecting and rejecting critical parent who vents anger with expression, so I've learned to associate emotional close confrontation with danger. I also find that I take the feelings of others too much to heart or misread them, sometimes, and eye contact intensifies that.
Hope that helps clarify at least a bit? I feel like I've waffled or contradicted myself but perhaps not :) Paul Micallef, ASD educator on yt, explains it clearly and accurately (to my experiences, anyway) in the video at the link.

Alot of the complaints about Gen Z are simply what ALL young people are like, regardless of generation.
And a good number are simply bitterness from older people who can't get young people to fuck them. When you go on and on about how the younger generation don't like sex and dress frumpy then it becomes obvious that you can't get laid by anyone young and attractive.

To me, Zillennials--those born in the mid and late 1990s, currently aged 25-29--are a curious bunch. They have a mix of traits, values, interests and references from the generations either side of them, and can be mistaken for either. They're not much like the oldest/older Millennials now aged 40-ish, but they're also not that like kids born in the 2000s.
Honestly, though, I think '90s babies are a generation of their own, anyhow. I was born in the early-mid 1990s, and I don't relate to older Millennials or to Gen Z either. And I don't look up to Boomers or abhor Gen X, fwiw.

The reality is that every generation thinks they're special.
The boomers thought they were rebels with the whole flower child/hippy thing - then they sold out and turned into the me generation of the 80s.
Gen X thought they rebelled against society (slackers, first gen to not achieve the success of their parents). Xers sold out and conformed to the demands placed upon them by boomers (lack of vacation time, 40 hour work weeks, low wages etc...)
Millennials think they're hard done by compared to others and the first not surpass the financial success of their parents (that honor actually belongs to Xers in terms of being the "first"), but because there are so many millennials, and the rise of the youth orientated culture/media of the early '00s the problems Xers faced are overlooked. Millennials are now nothing special - a decade ago we thought they'd "change things." So far, they haven't. We'll see whether or not they change things or just become sell-outs too.
It's too early to speculate on Gen Z, but I suspect that in about 20 years, younger generations will be complaining about them too.
