It’s not a crazy idea to group people born around a certain year range together. There’s a lot of shared experiences and often similar outlooks. The boundaries between these groups are a little stupid though.
It’s also a useful tool to understand how global events affect people in different parts of life. Often quoted is a gen z divide that is missing in other generations. I think this was caused because of when covid hit during their lives. A difference of a couple years made a big difference where the younger half leaned hard right and the older half leaned left.
Gen Z is more reactionary than millennials, and that’s because we’re more fucked. Fascism provides an outlet and gives direction and purpose to the general discontent and resentment harbored by young people today, same as it ever was. Gen Z appears more right wing because more Gen Z can see the status quo isn’t working for them, and in the absence / suppression of the populist left people turn to the populist right.
significantly more blame was put on millennials than a gen-xer or even a gen z, the boomers largely ignored gen z, because they assume they would be non-voters.
Some of them are getting woken up now that the far-right president is tanking, and they’re regretting to voting Trump to own the libs. I hope they also realize that “fandom gatekeeping” is not about keeping bad people out to preserve the quality of works, but is both a stupid tribalistic behavior, a bigoted recruitment tool, and to keep things “exotic and obscure, for street cred reasons”. I especially met the latter one within metal (and through people I knew: indie rock) circles, I knew a guy who was really angry at me for ruining Meshuggah for him, by no longer making him a special little snowflake for having several Meshuggah CDs, and thus he couldn’t show them off at meetups. (sorry for my off-topic tangent)
I think Gen Z is more right-wing than millennials; at least the younger men.
i saw they went for trump alot more.
Gen Z is also more receptive of Socialism
Its how Mamdani won
in NYC, but in general they may go for trump.
It’s almost like an entire generation isn’t just one person. Maybe “generations” is just another made up thing used to divide people?

the status quo didn’t exactly work out for millenials either.

All the eroding of education worked on them, and most Gen z men are fucking idiots
