      Shut up you millennial gen z snowflake! You’ll take the recycled content and enjoy it

      /s, if it wasn’t obvious….I’m noting that same trend myself.

      No, there’s a radical difference here. Yeah, some of these stories are “young people today” bullshit that will always be true. Gen Z truly got fucked by the pandemic and social media.

      Judging by the comments here, there won’t be any discussion. Which kinda proves the point.

        Social media is the real world today. Yes, the pandemic put everyone’s life on hold for 3 years and that’s going to screw up people’s formative years, but this article hasn’t done much to separate that out from the gripes every new generation entering the workforce gets.

          Fair point on the second bit, but I don’t understand social media being the real world.

            You and I are having a real discussion right now. It’s every bit as real as discussion as if we were having it in person.

            Social media has been around over 20 years. The attitude that it’s some other world outside the real world that doesn’t count is antiquated. Social media is part of life, just like everything else we do.
