Gen Z 1.0

People born between the years 1996 and 2003

Started school during the new millennium/new century (both starting on January 1, 2001) and also during the Bush administration, grew up with 2000s media (TV shows, video games, music, etc.), spent most or all of their high school years before the Covid pandemic, can remember the Recession and how it impacted the world, grew up with social media such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and not Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. They do not participate in crazy TikTok challenges either.
Gen Z 1.0: "I remember the 2000s. Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Webkinz, Club Penguin, Nick before they got rid of the splat logo in 2009, pre-2010 Cartoon Network, late 2000s era of AMVs and YTPs on YouTube, etc. Ahh, good times...."

Gen Z 2.0: "Yo chat, wanna see how many baddies I can rizz up while I snort all dez tide pods? I finna play Fortnite after I see dat gyatt. Also, I stole a bunch of shit from my local high school because I be doin' da devious lick challenge"

Gen Z 1.0: "I can't believe we're the same generation as you..."

Gen Z

A generation that gets ragged on a lot. Not as bad as people think, but there are some crazy ones. Extremely split between conducting a plan for a mass genocide and being gay. Either you're gay or racist by choice, there are no other options.
Gen Z is a pretty polarized generation, with one half being extremely racist, homophobic, and misogynistic, and the other being LGBTQ snowflakes

gen z

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
Person 1: "Hey I heard markiplier is getting cancelled"
Person 2: "Heh, they're tryna gen z 'im"
