Zoomer Kiwi Central / Serious Gen Z Discussion - A place for Zoomers or Non-Zoomers to have a discussion about the Gen Z and their future

[GhostNotes]

I think alot zoomers are just turning to politics as a cope for them not having any eventful lives or just want to find out why society is so shit and them also being terminally online makes this issue even worse.

It's not even necessarily the fault of the zoomer that they're terminally online. Even before 2020 made it acceptable, the choice between a stale outside world or an exciting online world was an obvious choice to make for my generation. Once that choice was made, however, it opened Pandora's box to a whole host of disorders with mental isolation being the most prominent. You're never going to meet another person with the same opinions, tastes, aesthetics, etc. because we all have our own tailored online experience.

I recognized how my life would be if I kept logging on instead of moving on, and I've tried to escape it. It's not easy. In university, the most common hobby for my peers was leaving class, going back to their dorm and scrolling tiktok on their bed until bedtime. The bar/club scene (and any other outdoors activity) is filled entirely with people over 35, and the zoomers who frequent them are generally not the caliber of people worth knowing.

What are you supposed to do to be social? The Internet is the only outlet, but it's also the source of the loneliness problem which further divides us.

"Mom! I'm talking to a fucking DUTCHIE!". Remember the marvel of talking to people online? Now it's practically the norm because the only natives you've got added on Discord are ex-classmates who're set to offline and/or are too busy to even reply, despite doomscrolling all fucking day, with or without kids.

I went to uni assuming it'd consume my life: Team colors, sports, clubs, parties. Nah, it was the closest thing to public school I've seen. Everyone ran straight home to their partner, kid, or existing friends. Nobody was there to cement their social network and future. 5 years at uni somehow less impactful than 3 in high school, not even 18 yet.

The only thing school had going for it was that it forced people of all creeds together. Where would you go right now and meet a jock, a bimbo, a loner, a druggie, a loser, a boring woman aching for a lord-fearing man? Church maybe? Not the local townhall that's for sure. A WoW guild? Nah, playing WoW in current day alone is a fucking niche thing to do. You tell someone you play wow and they go "Oh okay you're stuck in your teens and can't move on". But really, what's to move on to? Matchmaking battle royales?

WoW specifically was famous for being such a third place where both single mothers, bimbos and ex-cons played games. You'd meet people unlike yourself. That might actually be why I keep falling back on the fighting game community: You'll see shy autistic girls main Zangief alongside sweaty negroids and they'll be friends. Too bad the games blow.

I always use text chat, even in matchmaking games. I say ~quirky~ shit just to get people going, but even now that I've returned to TF2, that shit is taxing. You log in, immediately have to be zany and wacky and farm attention, cause how else are you gonna engage with other people? You need to put yourself out there nonstop and sad reality is that it's through forced interactions and (in case of furries, weebs and faggots) sexual innuendos. Webfishing and VRChat are great examples of this. The quirkiest, loudest mf'er gets the most e-peen.

This was similar to my university experience and I went to a large one with a huge international student population. No one really wanted to interact with others and would rush back to their dorms and sit there all day. Even before the pandemic disrupting mine, it was like that still. Some of the international students (besides some Chinese and 90% of jeets) were really easy to interact with. My second roommate for the rest of university was awesome, and I still talk to him to this day even after he went back to his country.

Many churches are dead or full of old people, so you can't really find someone new there. It really sucks for those who live in dying small towns and cities where there's little to no events. A dying place like where I live may have something like the 4th of July parade, Christmas parade, a local fair, and other events where most come out, but other than that, nothing is going to really appeal. The local bars are mostly over thirty, to an extend, even over thirty-five, and I am one of the few if not only under 30 there. Most my age sit at home and rot, scrolling through netflix and their phones, and/or snort pills and god knows what.

You guys remember smencils? They all smelled wretched, but having them in elementary school made you the cool kid pretty much instantly

Many kids in my school had Smuggles scented pens. Including myself.

I gotta say I'm disappointed with Gen Z so far. The oldest zoomers are 27 but it's like the generation has produced nothing thus far.

Absolutely not. 4cuck has all the problems of mainstream social media. Weird Discord cults lurk around it, every single board is filled with porn (even boards like /an/ are filled with "women in nature" threads, while /toy/ has a "coomer toys general" and a furry toy general and /lit/ is filled with ragebait over Stacies), and, much like Reddit and Twitter, it tends to turn young people into degenerate political radicals. Look how many people who grew up on /pol/ sincerely believe all white women are nasty harpies who have sex with dogs and will deliberately kill the white race for dat BBC, and look how many former /r9k/ users went trans. I get what you're saying -- Twitter, Youtube, and Reddit feel suffocatingly fake and the default hostility of 4cuck is more welcoming because you can say whatever you want -- but 4cuck and right-wing Xitter are the worst way to go about it. Young people should unironically come here; KF is one of the most balanced, tolerant websites active, and as long as you don't act like an idiot or try to provoke people, you will be welcomed regardless of who you are. Interest forums are similar; you'll only be driven out if you spam stupid garbage or try to start fights.

Actually a based opinion, fully agreed. Lately I've been browsing Instagram Reels, and it's actually shocking how this undeniably brainrot-tier app still manages to teach me stuff, like today I learned about the pallas cat which is a weird chinese sage-looking cat who lives in central asian plateaus and valleys. I can't remember the last time 4cuck actually taught me anything, it's just angsty losers trying to force their boring world view onto you.

There's a youtuber called shreddednerd who makes vids documenting millennial culture, mostly in a negative light. It got me thinking, despite how cringe millennial culture was, at least they had something that's unambiguously new and their own. Despite that, it's a pale shadow of Gen X culture, which like the boomers had an entire alternate lifestyle they supported that went against the mainstream. Still, Gen X's alternate lifestyle went nowhere, whereas the boomers spawned entire movements like sustainable living communities, environmentalist circles, drug-friendly groups (like the hippies), and so on. You can see a clear pattern where each new generation is less passionate and motivated than the one before it. This is Mark Fisher's claim in the book Capitalist Realism, which is a book I admittedly never liked because he came off as a whiny boomer, but I kinda get it now.

this is something I definitely struggle with, theres really no avenue to meet actual people living in a American Suburb like I do so you mentally feel stuck with the internet, Twitter and Reddit are too retarded for me to engage with seriously so it truly feels like my options are limited, a combination of the Internet and crony Capitalism ruined things like third places so after you graduate you basically are fucked socially for the most part

The only thing school had going for it was that it forced people of all creeds together. Where would you go right now and meet a jock, a bimbo, a loner, a druggie, a loser, a boring woman aching for a lord-fearing man? Church maybe?

its worse if you went to a alternative/collaborative school like I did you had all those but to extremes, when I was in high school blacks would fight each other daily, Lesbians would be annoying and loud etc. id argue High School was my first radicalization point actually being exposed to how retarded society really is, when I had graduated I thought life would be easy but now that im almost 27 im still happy to be out of that but I still find that life sucks in other ways

I just wish I wasn't born at the literal END OF TIMES with yt people dying out globally and what not. I'm already seeing literal African niggers and some ugly brownoid freaks on almost daily basis, like what the fuck?! I don't care that they're "inTuHNaTiOnaL sTUdEnTs!!1", they don't fucking belong here. I guess now I know what it felt like being born in the Western Roman Empire or at the end of the Bronze Age, knowing the good life you're having isn't to last and that you will most definetly witness the collapse within your lifespan. Are you really telling me I should stop being such a slug, get my ass off the couch and actually act for once instead of hoping others will do what must be done for me?..
Everything else is managable.

No one will take you seriously when you unironically type like a chud, that's on you.

Discussing things we have to put up with that our parents and grandparents didn't/had to put up with to a much lesser extent in a thread titled "Serious Gen Z Discussion" is chud behaviour you guise!!1
What else did you expect me to post, another tl;dr rant about 'Internet bad!' and COVID you already have 10 pages of? I wasn't even getting political because this isn't about politics, this is literally our reality that we live in which you'd be aware of if you left your smelly room for once.

There is a massive divide in how different Gen Z races perceive things, and I don't think that's talked about as much as it should. It's a bigger divide than the liberal woman/conservative male gap you see grifters talk about so often. I find that many brown Gen Zers are incapable of enjoying more sophisticated content and would rather be welfare junkies whose greatest dream is to be a streamer and pretend to be hardcore and based. They of course find their role models in the white millennial streamers who have made it big while ignoring all the others have failed. It's an issue that will only get larger as time passes.

its also the fact a lot of White Gen Z Males just find browns and blacks to be annoying, im going to bring up a video game analogy here, GTA probably has more minority fans then say Elder Scrolls, also Blacks are the most likely to enjoy rap music and get mad when someone doesn't like Rap Music, the general culture of the modern Nigger is alien to anyone with common decency

brothen it is about high time this generation b praisin in 'ecret and discarding of demons. They plague our mind viruses more pertinently tan any other gen's wayz. Is da answer to the overstimulation --absolute isolation? I szee it when Iwalk the streets. EveryyaOne more concerned wit the goins ons in their pockets while it burns an EMF tumour in their brainz. Theese treacherous conditions are putting ev en our greates most patient mind warriors in stunlocks.
For oh waht will be the event that draws us all together?
Our minds are opted to believe others capable of such hatred unknown before. Our strive to vanquish that evil while being told IT IS WRONG. All schizoids can scry today that something is direly wrong and IT AINT WIT US FELLA. Praise be to He and all our brothren. That we can drive out this evil without sowing more in it's plaace.

The future does scare me a bit . Can someone give me something we should be optimistic about?
