Generation Z

Generally, it is agreed that those in this generation were born between 1995 and 2009. These kids have suffered from the 'staring at a blank screen all day assumption' more so than the Millenials. This assumption is wrong. While Millenials were becoming adults during the economic crisis, Generation Z was born into it. Where previous generations have responded with hopelessness, they are baring their teeth and standing up for themselves. This generation has faced the uprise of school shootings, and the students are taking a stand, activists in high school. Generation Z does not want to and will not be silenced. Social media, while often used as an outlet to have fun, is a sharp weapon in today's world. If the president of the United States can tweet shitposts at 2am, then a teen can tweet the NRA with their (valid) opinions. We're the generation growing up in the apocalypse. We're the generation who is not afraid to make it better for further generation. All the years we were called lazy, we were discovering more about ourselves, or composing music, or writing. Of course, we're the most depressed and anxious generation, too, but what is to be expected with such a nasty climate? Its not debilitating us. We'll tell you what's on our mind even if a panic attack follows it up, and that is a million times better, almost incomparable to bigoted traditions that previous generations have failed to stop. Well, someone needs to fight.
