Is generation Z full of morons?

How is playing chicken with cars or swallowing live goldfish by the dozens...more 'sensible' than the tide pod challenge? Those seem just as stupid and well the goldfish thing also seems kinda cruel on top of stupid.

That was my point!

I was being sarcastic.

Those were all things even before my time. Stuff I heard about when I was a grade school kid in the Sixties that teens were into in the Forties and Fifties, or even before.

However though millennials may not have invented stupidity,I concede that maybe they are able to spread their stupidity around faster than earlier generations.

In our youth our generation had sensible fun.
Sensible things like drinking and drugging as much as possible before driving(no such thing as designated drivers) and if you did not die or get maimed making a big joke about it?

Sensible things like igniting M-80s at rock concerts?

Sensible things like listening to rock music at hearing destroying levels?

Sensible things like often having unprotected casual sex and spreading STD’s because you know if it feels good do it(most of us autistics did not participate in it but most us would have if we could have).

Sensible things like saying “Don’t trust anybody over 30”?


Ok boomer

Yeah...climbing up a radio tower while tripping on acid. Etc.

I talked about the older than me generation (goldfish swallowing)and the younger than me generations. I thought about talking about my own Seventies generation, but I didn't even know where to begin! Lol!

But you just now covered it for me. Lol!

Thanx

millenials are already adults...generation z is the kids/teens it would seem. Also kids in the sixties and before, kids in the 80s and kids in the 90's didn't have such widely available access to the internet. So sure a stupid idea could perhaps get spread around more quickly...but also less stupid ideas can circulate quickly as well.

I get the gens mixed up. So yeah...you're a Gen Y, or Millennial. Right? And the kids who are still kids, younger than you, are gen Z.

And the gen Z ers who are doing whatever. The Tide Pod challenge, and trying to catch the norovirus. I think I got it.

I am a millennial and I'm 30 my boyfriend is 35 so basically millennial but maybe on the edge of gen x, and my brother who is 5 years younger is right on the edge of it like if he was younger he might be gen z, I also have a brother who is either 17 or 18 and he would be gen z

Also though its just some dumb kids doing stuff like that...also that whole catch the corona virus thing wouldn't even work that way. From what I saw of it, there was some kid licking a toilet seat...sure they may catch something that way but not sure it would be corona virus. But I feel like someone like my gen z brother would probably discourage his friends from stuff like that if he found they were doing it...and he can't be the only more reasonable one.

You are welcome.

The thing I'm most upset about here is the NES being described as Boiler tech.. I'm not that old mate.

But this list could describe my teenage generation too. I'm so glad we didn't have the internet.

I do think the Gen z lot seem to care more about appearance. We certainly did. We had magazines that the girls got styling tips from. Just17 was one I remember. But you didn't share your face with millions of strangers, just the other kids at school.

Oh the hair mistakes. Anyone remember the overly hair sprayed stand up fringes. I cringe.
