I know right? Imagine finding people willing to speak this way on camera? A lot of political discourse presumes a narrative of progress which implies that older/past people are/were dumb, but usually people don't just say it out loud.

So basically, this turned into a platform of what's wrong with older generations 😂 Thats the most Gen-Z thing ever.

That’s actually the reverse of : in my times students where more disciplined. No, every young person critisises old persons. That’s like the one thing everyone has in common. There are no generations. Just different aged persons with vastly different world views disregarding the age. How come everyone tries to homogenise people regarding their age when that’s absolutely not possible.

it definitely wreaks of lack of life experience, the sweetest knowledge that older folks have is that the youth will one day be old and realize how silly they were jajaja

Even the old Greek complained about their kids as spoilt. This will never change. But GenZ can share information about things going wrong while the others often thought that the status quo is "widely accepted " although everyone was secretly annoyed.

I came here to learn about GenZ, But since it was mostly complaining about the older generations, I guess I learned all I needed to know.

lets have this conversation again when they turn 30

Debunking a gross generalization about a whole generation of people by asking a few individuals to make gross generalizations about other generations. How about we just don't make sweeping assumptions about *_any_* groups?

I think to many older generations the gen z issue isn’t the attitudes for change or not settling. But the general assumption and perceived attitude that it’s the first generation to act and be this way. You look back on the young people in the 60s and it was the hippy generation. Different visuals but same core mentality. Push for change in a more direct manner. Same for 70s/80s/90s (in the UK we didn’t have a guaranteed minimum wage until 1997 how do you think that happened. Younger people pushing for change.) Otherwise imo there’s nothing special about the attitudes changing gen to gen. Maybe that’s what frustrates gen z with older generations perception and ambivalence. Older generations have been there and done that in their own way. It’s nothing new or special. Just a different focus. And it’s not their generational fight. Each generation has their own problems to tackle. Can’t fight every battle.

My parents were hippies … So “old people” were more free than Z.

Hey Gen Z here... To be perfectly honest we fit most of the 'misconceptions' listed in this video. We're impatient, whiny, insecure, overly-sensitive, stressed, lazy, and complain all the time (which relates to whiny - I'm even complaining about us right now). Growing up with the Internet and such fast access to social media and so many other things has, I think, screwed us up. Not to mention growing up in COVID, our creativity is at a depressing low (which is also demonstrated by the lack of new ideas in the 'new' music that comes out nowadays. It's rare to find something actually new and revolutionary, and let's be honest when it does happen it's usually Jacob Collier being a genius). I do not like my generation and I wish I was born at a different time, but still we're not the worst generation, which I think is at the moment Gen Alpha

Trust me: Every Gen. gets unfairly stereotyped by the previous Gen. My guess is twenty years from now they will criticize the newer Gens. A side note is they did not get to all of the people that were sitting there to interview!

I feel bad for gen z.

Gen Z on average have bad work ethic and attitudes. As a millennia i work and interact with them constantly, so im speaking from first hand experience

People use a label, so it is hey look at me all attention on me.

Can I be a gen Z, millennials and gen X simultaneously?

So where do you think they get it from? Looking at the parents.

Bro 90% of our generation meets these stereotypes :(

I love the kiddy music in the background. Its an indirect way of stating these kids actually believe they're original and this never happened to anyone else before them. The complain about the previous generations not questioning things or being stuck in their ways. Considering they're in the age technological advancements and increase exposure THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO QUESTION THINGS. They act as if their doing something that has never been done before. Perhaps they're a bit....."assine"🤣

all that things they say represent them have always existed. and i thought the same of older generations when i was a teen.

This is such a skewed interview. As a Gen Z, I must say do your surveys better.

In Canada we call them Gen Zed

These were descriptions not misconceptions. Try again...

The biggest misconception about Gen Z is that Generations don’t exist. There is no scientific evidence or consensus on what a generation actually is and how to compare it.

It’s giving gen z delusional vibes… many comments below are so accurate. Typical gen z, avoiding the accusations made towards them while accusing others. Avoiding answering and saying in-between the lines ‘yes’ to some generalizations and offering up excuses. Claiming these concepts have been around forever when in reality not, no backup for their claims. Just sad to see the lack of inner reflection and delusion.

Misconceptions?

As a 2001 Gen Z guy, this video is gonna be awesome

heh, I thought they'd address something else. But yeah, I guess they're very indirect in the way they speak instead of addressing people directly due to the influence of the internet and not needing to respond to people directly, and moreso needing to influence the opinion of thousands of third parties. Like, if genz's are used to beign able to be convincing and eloquent enough, it can turn anything into a victim of injustice.

I completely disagree with them. I am a Gen Z and I work with others my age and they are lazy, arrogant, complain about everything AND the older people I work with do no such thing.

As a Gen X'er myself, the first time I heard the term was the well known book by Douglas Coupland, Gen X, from 1991 (iirc). I did read it, and at the time, thought it was a pretty decent summary of my my generation. But I don't think there was really a plan for the world to follow it and accept it as a term. Afterall, if that were so, he'd have called it Gen A so there'd be a load of options to come after, not just Y and Z.

Is it just must or did all the people come across as very arrogant?

Is pretty pathetic that the editors featured misconceptions that are so trivial. All of the problems that Gen Z has and people tend to have misconceptions about in the media can be blamed on baby boomers who are the worst generation in many generations and are the source of many of the different issues Gen Z and other generations are having to address. Gen Z, as with all generations, have also created issues for themselves, both real and imagined. Number one problem though is screen time which is partly their own fault, but is mostly their parents' fault. Problems aside, I think their is more upside with this generation. They are mostly good people

Third parties and independents are a big reason we are in the mess we're in now. If you care about women's rights, vote blue. If you care about healthcare, vote blue. If you care about the economy, vote blue. If you care about democracy, vote blue. If you care about this planet, vote blue.
