Not limited to them in general. The newest influx of teenagers are riddled with social media brain rot and being mentally stunted from being locked inside for 2 years. Also they have terrible parents who blame everyone but themselves for doing a bad job raising them.

Yeah. As someone who's at the oldest age group of generation z, I'll say the younger ones of this generation either are pretty entitled and seriously lack social skills/common courtesy...orrr they're pretty great. Either or but I'm noticing a lot more of entitlement with them.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers. - Socrates

True, but the social-media bubbles and COVID lockdowns really are a new phenomenon that did not exist a decade ago. And I'm older than many folks here (late Gen Xer/early Millennial) so I've been saying "kids these days" for a while now.

You're way too young to be doing the "kids today are disrespectful" thing. You're four seconds older than these people. Your cohort was no different.

I’m an elder Gen Z I guess; born at the end of 96. The ones born after 2006 are all of a different breed. It’s the rapid pace of technological advancement every decade imo. These dumb rectangles we’ve had since 2007 made a dent. I barely escaped college without having to deal with Covid having graduated in 2019, and that’s definitely had an impact as well.

I dunno, I'm 10 years older than you and I think you just sound out of touch.

Bruh that's definitely a Millennial. At the very end of it by some accounts
