Gen Z stare

A label given by Millennials and older generations to the incredulous look that Gen Z people give them when they are asked a question that is so ridiculous that they don’t know how to reply. They go into a state of disbelief, a look that says “are you serious?” Before they either reply with the answer they assumed obvious or just simply shoo the person away if there’s nothing they can do.

Older people call this rude or stupid behavior, but honestly. It’s usually warrented

Millennial or older person: can I have the strawberry banana milkshake?
Gen z: sure
M: I’m allergic to bananas, by the way
Z: so… would you rather have a strawberry milkshake? Since you’re allergic
M:no, I want a strawberry banana milkshake!
Z: *Gen Z stare*

"Gaslighting lives in another dimension of cruelty - beyond lies or manipulation.
Unlike ordinary lies, gaslighting denies what's undeniably true - like claiming a photo you're staring at on their phone doesn't exist. It's a tactic designed to destabilize your ability to use logic, all while portraying themselves as being concerned or afraid for your well-being, which is their way of making you rely on them to tell you what's real."

Z-tism

People in Generation Z that have trouble in public situations or dealing with day to day functions that other generations see as normal daily functions.

In that moment her Z-tism kicked in and she did not know how to answer the question or even understand the question that the server asked her. So she just looked at the server with a blank stare while her Z-tism attempted to process the question of "Would you like a side with that?"

Z-tism

A neurological condition describing the chronic under socialization and emotional irregularities observed in some members of Gen Z, often attributed to excessive use of Discord, Tik Tok, or from mindlessly watching YouTube brain rot content on an iPad during formative years. First coined by Greg Tish on The Greg Tish Show at Tallahassee Talk Radio 93.3 FM.

Mom: Son you've been home all day; don't you have any friends from school or work you can hang out with?
Son: All of my friends are on discord and not in America. I'm not sure how to go about forming interpersonal relationships since all my friends are from the internet.
Mom: oh no! My son has Z-tism!

Bob: Wow is that Darth Vader?! That's the guy from Fortnite!

Sally: No Bob! Darth Vader is not from Fortnite! Your error in media literacy stems from a larger issue of not broadening your horizons by watching classics such as Star Wars. Instead, you left your knowledge of pop culture up to YouTube autoplay and are only being shown brain rot content pushed by the algorithm such as Cocomelon and MrBeast. I'm afraid Bob this is a classic example of Z-tism!

Gen Z Stare

a term used when a person from the Generation Z (usually working customer service) is met with a question and/or demand so fucking outlandish that they cannot do anything but look at the person with an empty stare of disbelief. Similar to the side eye, used way before this term.

The Gen-Z stare is used majorly when common sense is ignored.

Gen-Z Cashier: Your Burger comes with: Lettuce Onions, and Special Sauce.

Person: So there’s no meat in the burger?

Cashier: *Gen Z Stare* ….um.. what?
