Well if that's true, I sure hope they don't become leaders in creative industries. There's already a lack of risk taking in favor of bland bullshit that tries to have mass appeal.
Sorry to say that from the Gen Z I know they're even more into big brands and "collabs". It's disheartening how much more deeply they've been sucked into the big corporate marketing machine.
Oh, hell, and you'll be judged if you don't conform. No other shoes than Nike, no other phone brand than Apple, no other earphones than AirPods, hell, I even got made fun of for my choice of wireless carrier (I went for the cheapest - rather than one providing unlimited data for apps like TikTok and SnapChat plus 5GB for other traffic for €17/month until the EU banned that crap, I chose 300GB for €12/month. But, it was the cheapest, so...)
There's a big difference between not wanting to be a (teenage) parent and not having any imagination?
Maybe that's why so many American young people voted Red in this election.
and here the rest of us thought the tumblr "guess i'm gonna die" memes were just silliness. guess they meant it, huh.
As the saying goes, there's a grain of truth in every joke.

There's nothing like "Gen Z" or "Gen X". Stop this bullshit that's not more grounded than astrology. There's cultural development in society, but it's not restricted to an age cohort.

That actually seems just true or perhaps it just lines up with my personality. Alghtough i wouldnt be so quick to put wars , plauges and other dangers as the actual cause. its probably the opposite and the relative lack of those combined with the social media either overblowing most stuff or completley opposite , ridiculuing the problem with no inbetweens makes pepole weary .
Is this another one of those articles where gen-xers and boomers blame the kids for the inevitable downfall of "western civilization"?
Hey, don’t lump gen X in with the boomers. We’re their original victims.
Hurt people hurt people.
"Thought terminating cliche"
Uh... sports gambling?
Uh... what?
This article is focused on traditional measures of risk (drinking and sex) and is ignoring novel forms of risk... Gen Z appears to be extremely active in the gambling markets (particularly sports and political) in a way that older folks simply haven't engaged in.
Oh. I see.
Hey look, it's a description of me! 🙃
Interesting. There is a strong correlation between social media use and mental illness. I wonder if maybe there is some link at play here.
Unlike Millennials, gen z had social media as soon as their parents let them. I wonder if the social pressure of trying to maintain a presence on socials might be influencing the risk aversion.
Uh didn't the majority of them just vote in a fascist to fuck up their economy and futures? Risk averse my ass.
No, not a majority, just like 40% of them.
Are you saying 40% of ALL gen Z voted for Trump? Or is it 40% of the ones who did vote, vote for Trump?

If it's from MSU, it can safely be ignored.
