I always hated the “guess what are millennials up to” articles aimed at boomers. They were always inaccurate, taking some anecdote with a sample size as small as a single individual and spam it into a national or global trend. No way I am going to give a click to an equivalent article about Gen Z.
- beezlewax 3y agoAny generalisation using these categories (that we've invented) for large swathes of largely disconnected/unrelated people is bonkers. "Oh they're born in the same period of time so they must all do x" is pretty useless for anything BUT vague generalisations.

Every zoomer grew up in the backdrop of 911, the two wars in the middle east, the financial crisis and all experienced those events at similar ages. I don't think it's impossible that things like this might affect behavior or decision making across the group.
