The gen z subreddit gets brigaded by people who aren’t even gen z all the time. Not the best view of how that generation thinks.
Yeah, that's been the vibe for such a long time. There was a post about how you need to already have saved 1 year worth of salary for retirement by the age of 30. Some people were calling out how that's unrealistic for a lot of people now, but there was way more people talking about how that's entirely doable.
They were typically ~30s or older and had children already. They were also making over 100k and had jobs in tech and engineering. The youngest was like 28-29 that had a high paying 6 figure job. Which is far from the norm.
But yeah, lots of "that's totally realistic!", "the article is completely fine, genz is just lazy", "if you haven't begun saving for retirement in your early 20s it's your fault and you're a failure."
There's brigrading trying to rip influence and then there's every single comment being about how trump isn't bad and everybody overreacting and saying he's racist is why they won.
Like the top twenty comments are all gloating that watching liberals melt down makes their vote for trump even more worth it.
Even then I’d say that’s more about the demographic of people who use Reddit more than Zoomers as a whole.
