A generation that consists of both delinquents and silent smart people. They tend to be very indecisive, or so extreme that they won't listen to you.

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

Gen Z is everybody born between the years of 1998 to 2011. Most Gen Z's take jokes way to seriously, are racist without knowing it, and overall are just not fun to hang around, but there is a good 25% of them who are great friends, loyal, and can laugh at a good joke. I believe the Gen Z may be the last decent generation. It's all a downward spiral from Gen alpha. according to research 42% of gen Z is depressed. Along with this, most of Gen Z is very anti social as well.
Millennials: You guys should go play outside, it's a beautiful day and the sun is shining.
Gen alpha: I am playing outside... I just got this new game, it's called outdoor adventures.
Gen Z: Does it involve interacting with more then two people at a time?
Millennials: No?
Gen Z: Okay I'll go out for a bit because animals are better then people and I just saw a pretty butterfly.
Gen alpha: Wow, OCD much?
Gen Z: (starts sobbing) What's that supposed to mean!?!

This has actually somehow become a verb. Through eminem's trouble, he says "What are you gonna do, gen z me bruh" Gen Z in place of "cancelling" in reference to cancel culture.
to "gen z" therefore means to cancel somebody online
