Aka: the boomer lead paint stare. When a young person, ie zoomer, who lacks social skills, blatantly disregards others around them. Particularly those who ask questions. Only for the person asking the question to get side eyed or stared at in return.
"Hi there! Was there anything you were looking for?" *side eye* "okkkk if you have any questions just let me know!"
"Oh my gosh today I was trying to help a teenager at work but all she did was give me the gen z stare"

The act of staring into space for no apparent reason. Usually you stare at a spot directly next to a person, ending in awkward eye contact after you snap back to focus.

The act of pretending to be a perpetual victim to the point you choose to try to manipulate others. Having no self esteem to the point you perceive everything with a negative connotation. Being conveniently offended by everything one side of the family does or says.
When you’re looking for a wife, make sure she’s not a gen.
Wife - your family only calls when our baby gets hurt, why are they calling now?
Husband - ahhh that’s so gen, they do call but I only answer when I’m not around you because you get mad.

Purposeful and complete misuse or hack of cool new communications techniques and vehicles employed by younger and hipper people. This includes usage of ridiculously long hashtags, hashtags within emails and excessively verbose text messages with plenty of punctuation.
{setting: email}
J: #meanttobe;)
B: OMG you are hashtagging email where no one can see or track it. You have lost it!
J: Ha! That is what *you* think hash tagging is for ;) #millionsofcreativeandsuperannoyingusesawaityou... #gen-xing

A title similar to the "3rd gen it boy" and "3rd gen it girl" given to the most influential and trendsetting male idol of the 4th generation. (It's sibling title is "4th gen it girl")
Although the title was given to Choi Yeonjun of Tomorrow x Together (also known as TXT) by their fanbase, MOA, arguably, the most influential 4th gen male idol is Hwang Hyunjin of Stray kids (also known as SKZ), who has started trends with his fashion and even his hairstyles.
Many 4th gen fans still debate who is the 4th gen it boy, as Choi Yeonjun does not fit the criteria that many other "it boys" and "it girls" have followed, but has been given the title by fans, so Hwang Hyunjin has been the title of "4th gen prince".
