Okay, as a gen-z, myself, F, from India, I am making this post after getting absolutely sick of seeing gen-z on screen being extremely mean, ungrateful, rude and aggressive to their parents even after they provide them with a lot more sources compared to the other world countries. At one point, gen-z is supposed to be this woke, socially conscious generation but lacks acknowledgment of their privilege and are fully enticed, WHILE BEING BROEK. Okay I get it, it’s such a phase that everything is confusing but how does that translate into them blaming their parents for avoiding responsibility? I’ve seen it more often in the media (shows/movies) from the years 2000 till now and it’s just getting way to annoying and frustrating for me to see because I’m from I’m from India and our growing up culture has been I would say more stricter which has given me a taste of life that it isn’t always fair and turn out the way we want, but when I see the western culture, I earlier used to envy but now I feel too much protection and freedom will create chaos. It is very important to learn about courtesy and manners. Do American parents just on it focus on providing and not teaching? Is gen-z THAT ANNOYING AND ENTITLED IN AMERICA? Or it’s just the screen or a millennial gaze at gen-z.?
