      Back in the 60s, 70s, and some in the 80’s you’d see the term “student protests” used a lot even though the demographic reached much further. My best guess is that the tag is attributed to whomever started the original protests and it stays that way from that point forth.

      The Nepali media are referring to the whole thing as the Gen-Z protest (जेन-जे विरोध). It might still be weird, or it might be less weird not in translation
