Gen Z 2.0 is a different breed from Gen Z 1.0
For example, while ALL of Gen Z 1.0 can actually remember a decent amount of the 2000s (or even all of it in the case of it's older members), Gen Z 2.0 either can't remember it or wasn't alive during it (depending on when they were born).

Get the Gen-Z Douchebag Faggot mug.a generation that includes people that were born in 1997 to 2012 although different sources (ChatGPT, other websites) might say otherwise as some say gen z are those born in 1990 to 2010. Gen Z is the current generation of kids and teenagers you can find these days. Gen Z people (usually boys) like to play fortnite, genshin impact or any other game related with anime or in-game purchases while other side of boys that dislike these games claim the other side to be gay as in form of an insult towards them. Many gen z boys like to make dark humor . Speaking of girls as we cant forget them, they are no better than boys themselves. Now some side of Gen Z (including both men and women) thinks that women dont have sufficient rights as compared to the men so a group of people referred to as "feminists" arise to demand the society to bring quote on quote "equal rights" to everyone and should not be treated differently because of their gender. Although these statements might be helpful in some situations, it doesnt mean you're gonna shit it everywhere. Some girls now have equipped a career of twitch streamers and are referred as "E-girls". E-girls most of the times have a quote on quote on "kawaii voice" (god i feel sick saying that thing) and have a quote on quote on "waifu outfit" (still not any better) that make men fall for them and end up get a ton of donations of cash from these men. I can say some part of Gen Z is just so done. Like now people are all part of LGBTQ+.
