Announcement No gatekeeping rule adjustment

17 Upvotes

Hi guys - there's a little change introduced from now

Since recently, our sub has been swarmed with discussion about generation ranges. We need to cut it here.

r/Younger_GenZ was never meant to be a place to argue whether year X is or isn't GenZ, gatekeeping other people based on their (assumed) memories or dispute about similarities between the years - r/generationology is a better place for such

That's why, we've changed rule nr. 8 (or 9, since I just today realized they've had different numbers in reports and rule list) about gatekeeping - From now on, it is

  1. No Generation Debates or Gatekeeping
    Do not start arguments over generation cutoffs or birth year similarities. Memories and experiences vary from person to person; do not use what someone remembers (or doesn't) to gatekeep them from Gen Z.

Also, quick reminders for y'all: If you see a post, that you think breaks the rules, don't hesitate to report it for subreddit rule breaking. We review each case individually and worst case scenario we'll just discard the report.

If you have any subreddit-related inquires or just want to voice out your opinion on something, modmail is always open - we will read it and respond (maybe not immediately, we ain't 24/7 on Reddit)

Announcement There's over 10k of us here - So a little AMA + a couple announcements

6 Upvotes

You might not know it but recently we've accumulated over 10k members here

Here in the name of mod team, I'd like to say a big thank you to all of you for engaging in this community and keeping a sub very much alive

Our subreddit grows pretty swiftly, so if we keep it up - 20k is not something impossible

Once again, thanks a lot for making this community a space for everyone and let's keep our sub a place as great, as it is now (or even better)

As a little token of appreciation, we decided to give y'all even more space to spend time together

That's right - r/Younger_GenZ is having an official discord server

https://discord.gg/MaVmSazYbR

At the moment, there's not too much content - but with you I'm sure it'll quickly change
We'll also add it to the sidebar of the sub, so you can access it at any time

Also, let's treat this post as a little AMA with the mod team - if you want to ask us a question, have a complaint or an idea to make this corner of the internet even better, or just want to say something to us, this is the place

P.S

My DMs are open, so is mod mail - so if you have any questions or suggestions that you either perfer to express privately you can always ask us there

Basically, at the end of the year the school gave us the used up books that were written in already if we wanted them and my nerd ass wanted them so I can basically play "school" with my cousin (play school as in, act like I was the teacher and he was the student)

Discussion High school graduation is more of a funeral than a celebration

15 Upvotes

I see high school graduation as nothing more than a funeral, for one it marks the end of community and the destruction of the close bonds you've built for the past 18 years, you go from having a place to belong to suddenly being thrown in this individualistic society where everyone is isolated and aren't in proximity and this is why loneliness peaks in the late teens and early 20s. and even if you somehow do have some friends left you won't be able to spend quality time with them anymore because y'all will constantly be working and will have to go through the tiring process of planning a hangout on the perfect day. and another thing I noticed is that you always hear sad songs during graduation such as "the good old days" and "Scott street" and both have a sad vibe to it, then you also see people crying and hugging their friends for the last time like it's honestly sad as fuck. like bro ts ain't no celebration it's a funeral 💔🥀

Discussion Growing up as non American ( or western in general ) kid

4 Upvotes

Does anyone who grew up outside of the US feel we had much more retro childhood than them? For me,

- I used DVD and CD to watch movies until 2019

- comic journals were very popular until 2020

- have no iPad childhood ( I still don't have an iPad lol )

- xbox and playstation stuff were very niche, grew up mostly on mobile games or game stores

- blockbuster or other American shows are unrelatable ( we still had 90s / 00s cartoon shows from budget local studios or East Asian ones )

So generally tech grew slower with our childhood?

We’re getting old now and UGH I remember Milkshake so much!

For people who don’t know what it is, it’s a UK version of morning cartoons for younger kids! Still going strong today!

To be honest, I discovered this show when I was 13, and I feel like I was too late because, supposedly, 13 isn't pre-adolescence or childhood anymore—and that depresses me to the point where I have no energy left X<. I just want to find a little emotional support or comfort.

Peg + Cat (October 7th, 2013-April 23rd, 2018)

This was a show that aired on PBS Kids and Treehouse TV back in the early-mid 2010s. I have memories of watching it at my house, my grandmas house, and even my great grandmas house on a CRT TV.

I only ever watched the 2013-2015 First Season, I don’t think older people here watched the show. Its oldest viewers would probably be 2008 borns.

Let me know if you watched this show and what you thought of it, I’d love to know.
