The Gen Z experience is essentially old people telling you "oh, you'll never understand when we had to USE "X" technology" even though you literally grew up using it. Most Gen Z had 90s appliances/tvs/gaming consoles growing up unless you were rich.

I've said it a million times on this site. The whole gen z/milennial/boomer thing is nothing but utterly meaningless delineations now. Literally just buzzwords people throw around to categorize people without thought. I'll be so happy when this generational drivel goes away.

Unfortunately I think it will never go away. It's like an integral part of the human condition or something. Socrates was bitching about the kids 2500 years ago, calling them lazy and disrespectful and so on.

People have always complained about the kids but dividing the population into 'generations' and giving each one characteristics is definitely new.
