      Just like how boomers always used to assume millennials are children, everyone keeps assuming gen z are children.

      The absolute youngest gen z are 14, only 4 more years and there won’t be any child gen z left.

      Though with how fucked gen alpha is appearing due to the systematic destruction of teaching basic reading skills plus brainrot plus AI; I have a feeling us gen z will go the way of gen x, being silently overshadowed by our neighboring gens over time. Also the nihilism, gen x and gen z share a lot of nihilism.

      I also find this weird. I feel like millennials have more in common with gen z than any other two of the “gens”.
