Real talk, what was the defining "innocence-shattering news event" for Gen Z and younger? For my generation (Millennials) it was definitely 9/11

covid

I have to agree, being Gen Z myself. COVID was a complete killer in both my and a lot of my compatriots faith in humanity.

in addition to that, it was just a massive disruption of day-to-day life and it quite evidently resulted in people becoming more anti-social and feral to each other. There was a massive, widespread psychological change in society

It's going to depend on the country, but for me it was probably the 2011 Norway attacks.

Seeing MAGA shamans doing the wolololo outside of election officials' offices would be enough to fuck anyone up if they understood what a MAGA shaman or wolololo was

For GenAlpha, it was probably more getting groomed on Roblox and then holding a dying classmate as they bled out during their second or third school shooting ten seconds after COVID lockdown was lifted
