Your grandparents are the reason behind the baby boomer generation, your parents are the babies from this boomer, or even the result of Generation X, but what the hell are you?
Well, here we are. In college, doing our thing, growing up and living the life of our generation. Except there’s just one little hold up … what generation are we actually and what generation are we growing up in? Obviously Y comes after X because XYZ, but what comes in-between X and Y?
Basically what we have here is one big cluster ball.
Truthfully, there is only one logical explanation for all of this. The in-between of X and Y is you and me. We are that what the hell generation. Like, what the hell are we. X? Y? Dragon ball Z?
Okay, okay. Bottom line is we’re either late Y babies or early Z babies. Regardless, to break it down for ya, we’re growing up in Generation Z. But wait, what exactly does growing up in Gen Z look like?
1. Like it or not, we’re in that Kardashian-Jenner shebang (Bruce became Caitlyn, Kimye is doing whatever the hell Kimye does, Scott became Lord Doucheick, and Kylie introduced “do it at home botox”).
2. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton think they have enough brains to be President (HA! This is a joke, right?)
3. Twelve year old girls are completely skipping the whole awkward turtle phase and jumping straight to double D’s and half an inch thick foundation (like dang, what kind of hormones are in chickens these days. Sh*t).
4. “Bruh” is the new “dude” and if you don’t use slang language at this point are you even measuring up to your expectations of Gen Z, bruh?
5. Basic bitches aren’t hard to find, in fact, it’s rare to find a non-basic BB (Starbucks, Instagram, BFF’s and selfies obvi)
& the most relatable of these points:
5. We’re all in college, riding that struggle bus, all while at the same time trying to figure out this whole “adulting” thing.
Generation Z is a mix between your parents pushing you to pursue a career and going to college but leaving you hanging to figure it all out on your own … like hello, I need money in order to make money. A little help here, please. (In case you forgot, I am your offspring!), a world full of Basic B’s, and life throwing one big what the actual f*ck curveball your direction.
Basically.
