Beyond a few distinguishing elements, the design of the author's app and the design of the purported Gen-Z app aren't really all that far apart. At the basic level, both are built on a contemporary, minimalist UI discipline, with a similar approach to visually differentiating elements like buttons and fields. The later mostly distinguishes itself typographically, adopting a very trendy "brutalist" type family, with associated practices like mixing widths in the same line. The only other differences are more saturated, high-contrast colors and ambient animation. The end result for the latter may be considerably less minimalist, but the foundations have a lot more in common than they have differences.
