    You could make that case for the boomers, but with the advent of the Internet it’s not really limited to specific countries anymore. Gen z just describes people who grew up with some access to the internet, but not to the extent of alpha. A large part of these recent revolts were caused or accelerated by social media. Gen Z is more specific than young people, and in this case also more culturally relevant.

    Doesn’t matter anyway, even if you think Gen Z isn’t real you know what age range the article is talking about.

      historically it’s always young people and minorities (of any age) that go out to fuck things up. they are the ones who get the most fucked after all. no need to make generational divides out of it though, it’s not just them getting the short end of the stick.

      and not just genz grew up with internet, it’s just that they are the young ones still. shitty fucking propaganda tbh.
