My millennial (or maybe gen x) roommate spends a lot of time on tiltok, so she's always teaching me (a gen z) new 'gen z' slang.
It's fun, but on the other hand she has a pretty skewed perception of young people. She's always watching engagement-bait content online, and she seems to think most people my age are complete idiots.
I mean don't get me wrong, we are idiots, but we're not a different species or anything lol.
Do not let generational gaps fool you, most people are idiots
