It’s annoying to see people say “Gen Z is cringe”. That’s a straw man right there. The dimwits on TikTok are a vocal minority. The Gen Z’ers (me included) who act sensibly and dislike this behaviour are the silent majority.
Yeah, as a zoomer myself, I definitely agree.
I think one of the biggest problems with our modern online world is that you get to hear the opinions of literally everyone. That might not sound like a bad thing, but “everyone” includes some really stupid people, and unfortunately stupid people tend to be much more noticeable than normal people. I try to avoid the most dimwit-packed places on the internet (TikTok, Twitter, Instagram), but even then I see godawful opinions way too much.
