I don’t know a whole lot of Gen Z people. I work with some of them. That’s about it.
But from what I have read about members of Gen Z, I suspect they might be a bit like Gen X.
Both groups followed flamboyant, frequently self-centered generations. Gen X came of age in the shadow of Boomers, and Gen Z is trailing the Millennials.
Gen Z and Gen X don’t get all the attention, but they don’t seem to mind. They appear more grounded to me, more level-headed than Boomers and Millennials. Also, some of my best friends are Gen X.
My heart goes out to Gen Z. It’s hard for them to buy a house or start a family. Society is crumbling. Institutions are untrustworthy. The so-called government “safety nets” are either gone or going to other people (or countries).
Of course, there is always the possibility that I am full of shit.
Let’s hope so, for Gen Z’s sake.

Oh, goodie. Can’t wait to see this.
Just kidding. The last time I watched a special Halloween broadcast involving ghosts and such, it was Britain’s “legendary” (100% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes) Ghostwatch — which has not aged well and wasn’t remotely scary.
But can the esteemed critics at Rotten Tomatoes all be mistaken? The short answer: yes.
