Careercow Hayden Black - Untalented comedian with a string of failures including the infamous Gen Zed; suspended from Twitter

Spoiler

If it hasn't been posted yet, we found supposedly early artwork of his scam show on the Lost Media Wiki.

On another note since I'm autistic enough for this to bug me, why does Hayden even call this show "Gen Zed" when it's blatantly based on millennials and pop culture during the 2010s? It'd be like calling your show "Gen X" and instead have it take place in the 1950s.

Before the term "millennials" was solidified, the term for 20-somethings in the 2000's was "Gen Y," as they weren't really fully distinct from Gen X, and sat in that weird transitional period between generations. Following that pattern, "millennials" would be Gen Z, or Gen Zed, as Brits and Canadians would call them.

So it's named after an older definition and not Hayden not understanding Gen Z is what comes after the college kids of now?

Have we universally agreed that's what the next generation is going to be called?

I don't know who decides these things.

Generation Not as Shit as Millennials.

Homelanders is currently the favourite apparently.

There's no single person/group that decides on these things as it's mostly settled on in retrospect but as now and the period Gen Zed was announced, no one I know of was referring to 20 something college kids as "Gen Z". As it's currently used, the oldest of Gen Z/Homelanders/whatever are high school or middle school kids right now.

It might work if they were all on the border aka born after 96.

It's kinda sad that reading about the names of generations is the most interesting part of Hayden's thread right now...

The trailer said the main characters didn't want to be Gen Y.

There's a lot about this show that ruffled my feathers, but nothing irritates me more than it being called "Gen Zed". It's clearly made for an American audience, but Americans never use "zed"; we use "zee". I know it's a little thing, but little things like that are very important when it comes to marketing your product; Carol in Bumfuck, Kansas is going to have no idea what "zed" means.

I don't know if Hayden only used it because he thought it sounded cooler, or if he's so out of touch with the country he's set up shop in that he didn't think about common speech patterns.

He's gotta have some way of maintaining that doughy figure

He has a day job! According to his LinkedIn, he works for Rip Media Group which seems to be some kind of advertising firm, and does freelance copy writing (although one has yet to find traces of any awards).

If he's a web "sensation," it's the burning sensation you get from the clap.

He mainly has strokes, from what I hear.

Gen Zed? More like Gen Dead, am i right?

Is that pronounced 'boom-fook'?

Yeah but it's british and sounds COOL and HIP.
that's pretty much the only reason John Oliver is relevant in leftist circles here.

I want Hayden and Tommy Wiseau to do something together.
