As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I’m trippin or there actually is one.

    Huh… I never thought of that in this specific way.

    When we were kids, and I was born 1994, our parents both had to work to acquire enough income to afford things, making us rely on ourselves. Parents did not pay that much for babysitters back then, no? And us kids weren’t being watched by GPS or something 24/7.

    But it’s a tight window, and it depends on the family how long it stays open. I know some people born in 1997 who are like this, and others who aren’t.

    Knowing about 2girls1cup, 1man1jar, that creepy car zombie coffee advert, other shock content… we were desensitised to gore and shock content. We played on MS Paint for hours.

    Our parents did not know what we were doing, and it was… I’d say it was good.
