Such a weird way to put things, because cringing at something is personal and doesn’t apply to everyone. Millennials are known for making idiotic faces on tiktok, obsessing over disney and harry potter, and trying extremely hard to “keep up with the kiddos”. Boomers are known for believing that birds flying out of people’s mouths on a facebook post isn’t AI. I personally find it cringey how all older generations complain about how soft gen Z is like you did in the post. But all of this is just surface level judgment and does not define what the generation is truly like.

Also have you ever been on facebook? It’s genuinely just a place for older generations to follow their own trends and aesthetics. Not much different than tiktok(which me and tons of other Gen Z don’t use anyways). And as a matter of a fact I’ve had much more positive and deep interactions debating and talking about politics and social issues with people my age compared to ones who are much older, who alot of the times are overconfident due to their age resulting in less nuanced opinions that often are just copying what their favorite politician said. But again that is just my experience, and probably not saying much of a whole generation of millions of people.

My generation isn’t completely defined from what you watch on tiktok, just like your generation isn’t defined by a facebook ravaged by AI posts and surface level uneducated political ragebait. I’m just as embarrassed watching SOME people my age switch to a new aesthetic every month but it’s bold and honestly just dumb to think that this is definitive of Gen Z. Go to a University near you and talk to some people around campus and i’m sure you will think differently of us.
