We saw into the abyss, and it stared back at us lol, we only need to hate ourselves, there's enough people spreading that crap around @albanthedemonking1076
It’s funny that gen Z fell into the same trap of stupidity as every generation before it. I thought we were self aware enough to not clown gen alpha for just acting like kids and here we are
THIS. And it's not even just conjecture. It's provable. There are anecdotes about young people being too lazy because they use paper and they don't etch into stone anymore. There are newspaper articles from every generation saying "the new generation don't want to work" or something to that effect.
It's cringe because it visualizes the managers doing fuck all while employees do all the hard work. It's not strictly about Gen Z, but more about corporate culture in general. Come on, you even showed several clips referencing the HR dept. (To clarify, this isn't a jab specifically against their company, but about how many people find this meme relatable in a negative way because of their work experience)
All of you didn’t work for the company so why hate on the fact it’s hard for the employees to work in that company ? Ex : my dad works in the same company since like 11 years, and he likes w’it, why : because the people aren’t shit, they are normal !
HR only exist as a welfare workplace for women past feminism. They had to give them something to do after they decided to send them to work. Without women it wouldb't exist even as a necessity, men don't need it, it's the to cater to women and reduce workplace culture to the lowest common denominator that acts like spoiled children and can't handle any form of adversity.
@@UltimEVB My comment isn't about their company specifically, but about how many people might find it relatable through their working experiences. The only thing about their company is that they're basically just pulling the "how do you do, fellow kids", but that's pretty much it
I think the cringe comes more from the "boss" part than the "Gen-Zee" part. My first thought on seeing this wasn't "fucking young people being cringe" it was "oh fuck is Clare from the other team going to come over with a camera phone and try and rope me into doing one for my work?". I think all of us, regardless of generation, have some horrific memories of Corporate Mandated Fun Activities.
I’d say being proud of your generation is inherently cringe. “gen a”, “gen z”, “millennials”, “gen x”, and “baby boomers” mean literally nothing, there’s nothing to be prideful about.
also to be fair being gen z doesn't necessarily imply you are "good at internet stuff", I got many friends around 20 y.o. you could consider as or worse than millennials in this regard
As a member of Generation Z, we’ve always been cringe, and probably always will be, but that’s alright. The next generation will also be cringe, and that’s alright too.
3. Middle Schoolers are kids, but not Gen Alpha. So I have the right to bully my brother about watching those shitty fake Minecraft hardcore videos where they play as an animal or some stuff and 3/4 of the video is ass CGI whit terrible voi acting
@@thesocialmediagame 1. generations are not just a unit of measure, and they’re not as superficial as op claims. they can actually be really useful for determining what kind of person those in any given age range will be like (the social/political/economic situations they grew up in/lived through as youths can really influence how a person turns out, for example) 2. exactly, age is inevitable and you shouldn’t be scared of it 3. not dangerous, because it’s just as true as #2. NEVER judge anyone who is under 18, they’re still incubating (you can judge gen alpha when they reach adulthood all you want, though) 4. exactly, and in addition to collecting wisdom i’d also say _don’t be afraid to question yourself._ we all hold nonsense opinions & superstitions about something, it’s up to you to challenge your own beliefs instead of becoming comfortable in them - because when you get too comfortable in your own beliefs, you stop growing as a person. that’s the problem with some older folks, they don’t realize that they are almost as capable of being wrong as young people
I think the portion of gen z that is cringe is the same portion that is cringe in any generation. The type that aligns with apolitical, mainstream, edgeless, washed out views that anyone can eat up. The kind that makes tiktok dances go viral, that worships influencers, the kind that gets hired to be "social media managers" for corporate intetests.
yeah, and most people aren’t like that. we’re out here trying to survive while these folks contribute to the growing divide between the upper classes and everyone else
@@epikberman7756tf you mean alpha, all of those words are made by gen z, they appeared when gen alphas were kids, but because gen z made it, of course all of our little brothers are gonna say it too
@UltimEVB Gen z says it ironically, Gen alpha sees it an makes it a part of their vocabulary, I've seen it happen to my younger brother and his friends
It’s not cringe, it’s _unheimlich._ They are your bosses and have to extract value from you, yet act like they are your friends, or even “family”. We all instinctively know they don’t mean it and thus it gives a feeling of discomfort. But because it’s the accepted culture in offices it keeps going on. It’s funny how in the past you *had* to be formal at the office, and now you *have* to be informal, ironically making the informal formal.
@@karol1Explain like I'm five: how is 27 almost 30? Couldn't it as easily be 'not much older than 25' by the metric you seem to feel is valid? Your brain must be off.
Honestly that's pushing it. Gen Zs born before 2000 are at best exceptions born to very financially successful families that had access and could afford things like the very first smartphones. And you know Gen Z is defined as a generation of "digital natives". Most people didn't even see a smartphone, let alone used one, until like 2005, so how can you be a "native" if you've spent the first 10+ years of your life "abroad"? 95% of Gen Zs aren't even 25 yet.
Gen Z truly aging like milk. A few months ago the oldest were 24, now they're pushing 30. In another decade they're all gonna be older than millenials.
“Older than Millennials”, do you mean older than Millennials now? Because your sort of forgets that everyone ages and Gen Z will never be older than Gen Y.
The words "boss" and "attitude" being so closely together is what does it for me "Attitude" or "sass" can be given by someone who's on the same or lower position to you If you are someone's CO then it's not "attitude" it's being abusive
Honestly, there's no standard for how it's measured the goal post always moves with defining generations. I grew up as a millennial then found out last year I'm apparently Gen z 😂
Don't think Gen Z ever tried to be cool, we were just given apps that we made trendy and then proceeded to experience the worst recessions in recent time and a pandemic.
As a Millennial I haven't even fully accepted yet that we're no longer the "young kids to complain about" generation and now you're telling me even our successors just got replaced?
@@UltrafineDeluxe Quite a few of us are questionable characters sure but we're nothing compared to Boomers (the generation I mostly blame for messing it up for all the following ones).
Generations are a stupid way to group people up. Like a 13 year old and 27 are being grouped together because their both gen z; they barely have anything in common at those ages.
Decades are better, e.g. 80s kids, 90s kids, 30s kids (which are very close to becoming a thing), 10s kids (1910s) and also 01s kids (1 through 9 AD or BC)
Exactly, an old gen Z may be better at relating to a young Millenial vs young gen Z because of the gap in experience and maturity. The whole generation thing makes so sense.
A generation is a general "culture" of raising children/growing up. For example, I often say that my country (Poland) is 10-20 years behind USA on social things or otherwise. Like, the peak of technology in ~2005 for the '95 class was Nokia 3210. We used to throw them across the soccer field on recess. I think the first smartphone I seen with my own eyes was in like 2008 when one of my classmates brought a brand new his parents bought him (which he broke on the very first day when he bumped his leg on the corner of a desk, no less). I got a coworker who at 22 or so has about the same interests and had similar experiences as me, so by all proper definitions of "generation" he's still a millennial, even though he was born in 2001 or 2002. This is why I find Gen Z being called "about 30" absolutely ridiculous. 99% of Gen Z wasn't born until after 2000.
Realistically they're probably just the HR department on like 24k a year, the people with the important jobs are sat down working or in a phone call. 😂😂
@@bigmans187 Millenials were born as early as 1981 or 82 depending on what sociologist you're reading. They would have been exposed to ren and stimpy, beavis and butthead, spongbob, rockos modern life, all the more abstract cartoons up until about edd edd and eddy.
As a Gen Z person, I remember seeing the peak of mockery towards millennials from 2015 to 2020. Now, it's our turn to be hated, but I fear our reputation will be worse since we were led to hate millennials, its a vicious cycle.
@@genuscorvid I didn’t play it. Millennials pioneered meme culture on 4chan in the 00s. The generation after us is literally famous for TikTok and nothing else. A generation famous for a cringey Chinese app is pretty pathetic. Also TT was made by a Millennial, the irony of them talking shit about us on a Millennial owned app
If it's any consolation, the people in the video likely don't have those things either. They're just having fun in adult day care, doing nothing that will ever matter.
@@nacicomi And look what people who watched that are doing now, being managers in actual work places. And look at Gen alpha with fucking skibidi toilet or some shit. Its already bad with gen z, but its only gonna get worse.
@@revolution1237 Ik what PEW says I'm just saying imo as a 2000s Zoomer that anyone born in a year with a "19" at the front doesn't feel like a true Zoomer to me.
"Is Gen Z Cringe Now" You know the meme that's appropriate for this question. "Goofy" and "cringe" aren't the same either, this is just cringe. It's also the boast that they've managed to be a boss, whilst gen z. Like... congrats? I bet they're awful to work with reminding you how they're your "friend boss" all the time.
can’t become a boomer if you realize your own shortcomings and work on them while also being more empathetic to your fellow man. boomers embraced their own failings a long time ago and refuse to compromise on anything, which leads to cringetown
"I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!"
"I used to be with "it," but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it," and "it" seems weird and scary to me! And it'll happen to you..."
I'm so confused. Just a few years ago, I remember hearing that the oldest of Gen Z were born in 2005, and that Millennials were just getting jobs. Now Gen Z is just slightly younger Millennials?
No, gen z started in 1995. I'm from 1999, and I'm Gen Z. Generations are 15 years apart from each other. Gen alpha is 2010, the next one will be in 2025, so on and so forth.
@@DuudsCreates Generations aren't strict time frames, they are "culture" of growing up. In overwhelming majority of places in the world Zoomers are a 2000+ generation.
@@symptomofsouls Wrong. The range used by researchers and sociologist is 1995 at earliest and 1997 at latest. It's extremely easy to look this up. I don't know why zoomers argue about this so much, you can't stop getting older. What are you gonna do, keep trying to push the start year later and later as you all enter your 30s? lol
@@LecherousLizard Thats a pretty large group of people to segregate from the rest of society. I personally believe there isn't much of a difference, and the main differences come from socially mandated gender requirements.
@@heroninja1125you clearly have no been around either group enough. Yeah, society do be making us act certain ways, but I’veet girls who grew up in a shawl in Pakistan and girls who had no dad in Indiana and everything in between and they very much have over arching traits. Always exceptions, sure, but if you think there aren’t trends you’re actively deluding yourself.
When global mandated our teams to create "introduction videos" for the rest, local management had the grand idea of doing the "of course" meme (i.e. "we're , of course we "), but instead of the surprising activity, it was just stating one of the team's tasks. That was the moment that meme died in our company.
Said every generation ever. Kinda hard to say you had the best childhood ever when both opinions, perceptions of time and events, as well as the time you were born at all, are all subjective. As a Zoomer I don't care about the 90s and my Gen X parents definitely don't think millennials had the best childhood.
@@Olivia-f8l Nah, this is the only generation outside of Alpha that grew up on social media and having a screen in their face 24/7. It's awful and it's dumbed people down and made them complacent.
We were never NOT cringe, and that's totally fine. I actually massively prefer this then all that worry about Gen Alpha, we're the cringe ones, let them get away with it for now.
I feel like that should have been gen x. They were the ones that had the pop culture media that told them how it was, yet they still somehow fell for all the same traps.
I’m sure the women in the clip are lovely people IRL, but I think what irked the internet the most was that their personas in the video seemed to be the most stereotypical “privileged upper-class white/asian girls who got their cushy, high paid corporate job through nepotism” imaginable. The fact that it’s inevitable that anyone who works a corporate job has to interact with with women who are EXACTLY like this doesn’t help, and highlights the incredible amount of conformity in the supposedly more liberal modern office culture
