Let's Talk About Gen Z
by Ella Trager
I hate my generation. Is that fair to say? Well, either way, let’s talk about why. To begin, I’ll preface by saying that I have done absolutely NO research for this project other than intensely psychoanalyzing myself and my peers. To put my inquiries in a nutshell, I hate my generation because we have a very warped, very skewed vision of what it means to be a human being. Let me be more specific, for that matter: blinded by the horrors of capitalism, social media, and lord knows what else, GenZ-ers are seemingly unable to healthily define what I have identified as The Three F’s: fun, friends, and f*cking.
