We’ll take your fashion and raise you female empowerment, gender fluidity and people on TV that actually look like us
I’m Gen Z and I don’t understand what older generations want from us. We’re either the laziest generation ever, and need to learn how to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, or objects of pity as we soak ourselves in nostalgia for the “simpler times” they enjoyed, staring down a wasteland of a future. Oh, and we’re also way too PC.
For whatever reason, it’s the pity more than the scorn that’s gotten my back up of late. With Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill back on our airwaves and the mainstreaming of the mullet, the amount of hot takes on young people’s apparent infatuation with the past is peaking.
