Gen Z defining characteristics:
•Extremely online
•That dumb haircut with short hair on the sides and longer hair on top
•Juul
•Want to distinguish themselves from millennials, who have a bad reputation
•Social justice
•Saying or doing dumb things ironically
•Intentionally low quality ironic memes
•Asks their mutuals to help pay for their bills on GoFundMe or Patreon or Ko-fi
•Thinks dabbing is old and uncool but does it anyway ironically
•Being on psychiatric medications but not being vaccinated
•Everyone is effeminate because masculinity is 'toxic'
•More likely to identify with hashtags than religion
•Might grow up with absent parents (or single parents) and learn a lot from Youtube tutorials instead of mentors or father figures
•Might not go to college because too many millennials are drowning in debt with useless degrees that didn't lead to a good job
•Grew up with things like Minecraft instead of a babysitter or sports
•Glued to their phones
•Aversion to face-to-face interactions
•Know more about Youtubers than Hollywood actors
•Tweet more words than they speak
•More likely to care about esports than traditional sports
•Uses Twitch so much that they post Twitch emotes on other sites, like OMEGALUL OR SMOrc or MonkaS
•Snapchat
•Hates Facebook but loves Instagram even though they're owned by the same company
•Discord
•Can't imagine what life would be like without the internet or phones and/or tablets
•Despite being so tech-oriented, many aren't tech-savvy because mobile devices aren't good programming platforms and you can't tinker with them the same way you can with PCs (IDEs, overclocking, upgrading, etc.)
•"Yeet" and other made up slang
•First generation in a while where it's more normal to not have a computer or computer skills because Android and iOS are the norm now
•Fortnite
•Makes up genders and pronouns for likes and retweets
•Less likely than millennials to post things with their real name and photo -- going back to aliases and avatars, as a kind of reaction against the previous generation, partially as a way of distinguishing themselves, but also learning from the mistakes millennials have made with bad social media mistakes
