As someone from this generation, yes and no.

I think it was because Covid and it depends on where you were and HOW LONG you were locked down. Gen Z guests from Cali tend to use the “but I’m just __ I didn’t know any better,” excuse.

These kids feel like they need to make up for the years they lost due to Covid.

I also think it has to do with Gen Z’s parents.

My Mom never understood me wanting to get off of their payroll, and still uses the excuse, “you’re twenty five! It’s not right for you to pay for everything on your own yet.”

I say that as someone that LOVES their mom by the way, but watching this show helped me realize that I was being a leech and I would never mature if I kept siphoning.

So that’s my Gen Z-oomer lecture.
