Zoomer Kiwi Central / Serious Gen Z Discussion - A place for Zoomers to have a discussion about the Gen Z and their future

[The ATF Disliked That]

also the lack of drug/drink free third spaces available for youth. When you're 16-18, there's not much else to do apart from going to the mall and getting yelled at for 'loitering', so naturally people try to pass time by doing drugs and drinking.

Was probably just my area of the country, but third spaces were non-existant until you were a senior in highschool or had a friend who could drive. I've repressed a lot of memories from the 2010s, but I remember when any new public space was built or improved, it was either super kid-ish or it was for the stomp clap hey Millennials and being a teen there was super awkward. We did have a lot of public parks, but I remember some places banning teens without guardians because it was mainly the ghetto teens causing problems so they ruined it for the others. In my town, if there was a bus stop that had a route to the ghetto, the place was doomed.

No, I drank milk and properly did stretches. Maybe all those fly burgers you ate didn’t have the nutrients needed.

I played contact sports and broke multiple bones. Maybe you are just a pussy?

I'll have you know I ate the finest bug burgers and mud pies. The perfect nutrients for any growing African boy.

The point of sports is to teach younger kids how to socialize and work with others, as well as keep them fit. Really the only thing you shouldnt do as a child is heavy weightlifting because it will stunt your growth.

Maybe it's because I went to rich private schools (the only schools worth going to in Africa) but there sport was treated as nothing more than a marketing tool. All they ever cared about was getting achievements to slap onto some advertisement for how great the school was. Shit is so fucked that if you want to play top level school sports after 16 you have to take steroids just for your body to actual cope with how hard it gets pushed.

I am Gen Z and I will 100% concede it’s rare to find someone in my peer group without a weed, alcohol, or god forbid harder substance issue. If they do none of those, it’s likely they’re glued to their phones or some other device to fulfill a similar purpose as the former

My friends and I were all colossal junkies in our early 20s. Weed, coke, pills, basically what ever we could get our hands on. Pretty much everyone grew out of it in our mid to late 20s when we started getting proper jobs and serious relationships.

the parties don't exist anymore. they flatout dont.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=G62WQgic9Icshit's fucked out here and there isn't any sympathy, never has been, gotta dig yourself out

This is just sad. I started going to house parties right around the time that Project X movie came out. Shit was wild. The young zoomers will never know the thrill of throwing all your drugs over the fence into some random property while running away from the cops and furious parents.

even beyond politics there is a pervasive attitude in business that you must have a one in a million rockstar worker to do entry level work. There are students in my labs who are talking to me about how they got denied an internship because their GPA is a 3.6 (IMO, fantastic for Electrical Engineering) but the interviewer wanted a 3.75 minimum. These aren't massive companies or big tech, but smaller companies (not a small business, around 1000-5000 employees). From what I gathered the jobs are not what a 3.75+ GPA Electrical Engineer would find interesting, nor is the salary commensurate with what a graduate of that caliber can likely earn elsewhere.

I'm confused more people don't realize that our society is actively being split into two halves, where the real divide is not black vs white, not republican vs democrat, but simply rich vs poor. Getting wealthy is hard now, but at least it's possible. Your children and grandchildren might not have that opportunity, social mobility might crash so hard that we're back in Victorian times and you're basically a serf. No matter how bleak things look, be glad that the opportunities are there right now and they don't discriminate. It won't be that way forever.

I just assumed it was an American thing. Not that people like me'd get invited to those anyway. My kinds of parties are done in the basement with either a DnD table or multiple computers connected with an ethernet cable. Networking with your local area, if you will.

The mannerisms are plainly obvious, yeah. Pictures not related.

I think poor grammar is also an indicator of zoomer-like behavior. Maybe it's actually Gen-alpha behavior but they're so similar I can't tell them apart. I think it's more sad when an actual, fully fledged, functioning adult performs zoomerisms. At least they don't have the benefit of being a literal, low-functioning child. I wince whenever an obviously-40-year-old adult says "man that's so cooked, for real" "he got dat drip doe" "damn bruh what is blood doin'". I winced just typing that out, nevermind someone saying it auditorily.

I know a 50 year old who acts like that.

They put a massive tranny flag in the square of my town because of the "trans day of visibility" God, I fucking hate Catalonia so much.

 

[Lonjil]

I don't know anyone who went to parties but I have like no friends so maybe I just was never invited! Everyone I come across is just retreating more and more into digital spaces, since IRL stuff makes them encounter stuff they would rather avoid

I have recently heard multiple people say the word "foid" in real life.
Why are real life people using Kiwifarms internet slang?

Foid is literally just a shorter form of Femoid
both have been general Internet slang for fucking years now lmao

Still I have also noticed it creeping into the "mainstream" in a manner similar to how karen and woke did in the weird warpy kinda way.

EDIT: For further context, you got Moid (I don't think there's a long form version of this) Groid (negroid) and Noid (dominoid) as well as noid (paranoid) as well as noid (the noid)

That's more a American thing than a European thing, I imagine. It's definitely gotten worse through the years, peaking around the late 2010's or so, but it's coming back now to where Zoomers are choosing more natural and regionally grown crops. Even if it's hippie-voodoo liberal kinds of people, it's still good they prefer locally bred vegetables and fruits. Helping lower the cost of production, promotion and place. I do think this generation of kids will grow up healthier than previous ones, whereby they actively work on their health, choose healthier options, learn to cook, grow their own crops even. Processed foods are tending to cost more and taste even more like ass.

I think we're seeing the last gasp of "You can eat as much as you want, its the food thats bad" Boomer/Millennial cope with this RFK regime. Despite the body positivity stuff, most Zoomers seem to understand that it is the quantity of the food you eat is the most important thing.

You can't eat as much as you want but to frame it like the food being bad is "cope" tied to generational shit is a really bad thing to do. It's not about the quantity of food unless you're a fatass that just eats constantly) but the caloric and nutritional shit is what you need to focus on. being active also burns shit off but there's genuinely a lot of low nutritional value and calorie dense shit out there. Like you can eat a whole bag of vegetables and you'd be full and with not that much ingested shit that'll make you gain weight but you cou;d eat like a tiny ass pie and that's like somehow worth 2 or 3 of those. If you know how to set up stuff you can get a really good filling meal that also has enough sustenance to have you not feeling like shit.

I can't help but wonder if zoomzooms aging like to 40-50 looking in early 20s in some instances is due to them not getting that mixed with whatever other bullshit is going on that's doing that.

There's a fucking Antifa flag of all things hung up in the town centre near where I live so I feel this... there's also a pink triangle flag (which I had to do a double take at first time I saw it) and used to be a progress flag as well

This just always felt like a millennial cope to me, I never see these supposed 50 year old looking zoomers that millennials cherry pick to feel better about themselves going bald or whatever.

When I see zoomers who are going bald and look like they've been through nam I can't say it's cope. I got theories about the kind of shit that ages these people like this it's not a generational thing but it's something observable in higher quantities with zoomies for some reason. It's not tied specifically to zoomer going zoomies though because it's the same phenomenon you see happening with millennial breadtuber people.

Like look at hbomberguy when he started compared tot he creature he is now that's the kinda being these people are morphing into
