I’m an older Gen Z and a bartender. When they do the Gen Z stare to me I do it right back and we stand in silence until they eventually talk. It’s like two wizards battling.

I think the funniest part for me is the nuclear level meltdowns they’re having over a single small criticism or observation, meanwhile they’ve been roasting millennials entire existence as being cringe for YEARS 😂😂

This narrative is tired but again millennials have nothing better to do than complain it’s giving boomer core where yall are obsessed with everything the younger generation does!! Glad gen z isn’t like this with gen alpha yet .. gag me if we act like this when we’re old

It's a result of poor socialization and a decline in social skills in general. My guess is it has a lot to do with most of us being chronically online and I just think the pandemic made it even worse.

You millennials really don’t have anything better to do other than making up stuff about gen z, you guys really think we’re turning into boomers like look in the broken mirror honey the call is coming from inside the house with the way most of y’all act towards the younger generations 😐

They want the lead induced stare of their ancestors, but they only have microplastics to call on.

Guys the millennial pause is actually us processing all the grief and trauma of the world before we start talking

they think any discomfort is trauma and that they don’t owe anyone the basic decency of reciprocating polite small talk. we live in a society!!!

it actually is driving me nuts watching people misunderstand, especially customer service employees, because i’m gen z but have been out of school and in the workforce since 2018 and the gen z stare is REAL. so many of us cannot talk to people in real life and its scary to me

it’s hard to divert from the social script when you’re constantly out of energy in your “social battery” from constant bad faith interactions with bosses, peers, landlords, who take advantage of us being young during a time where we have less financial mobility than any of the people who aren’t just starting out while also considering that we might have to leave our communities or country for safety

so, if you watch Dexter and removed the internal monolog, it's just Dexter staring at people or like the 4th wall breaking that was very popular in 2000s & 2010s disney shows. that's the gen z stare. they so mad though

This makes more sense!! I introduced myself to someone who applied for a job and came in for an interview. She stared at me blank. I asked “you are here for the interview right?” She stared more and then nodded.

I went through a drive through last week to get food and the gen z girl just opened the window and stared at me. I was like… “hi? I’m picking up an order for KB” and she CLOSED THE WINDOW WITHOUT A WORD AND WENT TO GET IT. lmfaooo and it’s always that same girl at the window and she does it every time.

As someone who has worked with and befriended gen z to boomers. gen z are the ones you'll ask to wash some dishes and they will stand there staring blankly at the water going down the drain for 17 whole minutes without even washing a single dish not moving at all (gen z stare) and then they FINALLY speak and look at someone like "how do I keep the water in the sink?" "why is the hot water not working anymore its just cold now?" They're going to be the next boomers I swear 🤦😂
