For a time people made fun of Gen Z. They said Gen Z is too sensitive always on the internet and some celebrities like Farah Khan even said that Gen Z is traumatized by everything and only knows about sour dough bread. People thought Gen Z only cared about pictures and videos on the internet not about what is happening in the world.
Millennials Are Now Apologizing Gen Z
Gen Z was seen as a group of people who do not care about what’s real but now they have shown that they can work together say what they think and stand up for what they believe in. The big protests at Jantar Mantar were a surprise to people not just because so many people were there but because the young people were working together like a community.
The people protesting were not just asking for change they were also helping each other with food, water and medical supplies. Some people were cleaning up the area while others were helping strangers who were struggling with the heat. These small things showed a side of Gen Z that people often do not see. They can be kind. Take care of things.
Millennials Change Their Perspective
Many millennials who saw the movement said they were wrong about Gen Z. The same Gen Z they used to make fun of for being too emotional or too dependent on the internet was now using those internet skills to bring people. This was a reminder that every group of people has its way of making things happen.
More Than Funny Pictures and Social Media
People often think Gen Zs connection, to the internet is a thing but this movement showed that it can be a good thing. Funny pictures, videos and online conversations were used to spread the word and bring people together. Gen Z may do things differently. They want to be heard and they are not afraid to speak up.
A Generation Redefining Its Image
Gen Z has shown that being young does not mean being careless. Behind the jokes, creativity and time spent on the internet is a group of people who really care about what’s happening around them.
For millennials this moment has changed the way they think about Gen Z. Gen Z is not just the group of people making trends on the internet. They are also the ones taking steps to make things better.
