The pattern with The Discourse surrounding the youth is always, opinion writers talking about the sort of young people they’re around as representative of the generation as a whole. Which ends up meaning the kids of their rich friends and/or the young people that have the connections to get internships at their legacy media company. So yeah, right now that slice of gen z is wallowing in the sentiment that Trump gives them permission to be hedonistic and proud of their social status.
There’s a new steaming piece of thinkpiece shit every day about Gen Z. The one I saw the other day was about Gen Z “bare-backing,” which refers to, wait for it…….. the refusal to work while off the clock. I wonder what bullshit portmanteau op-ed writers are going to come up with next to describe a normal thing that already has a normal word for it
I’m going to need some help with the barebacking metaphor. Aren’t metaphors supposed to make sense?
Well that’s the thing about being a think-piece writer, you can just say shit and consulting firms around the world will treat your word as gospel
I got fired from my one of my first jobs like 15 years ago for refusing to work off the clock for free lol
I wish i had recorded my boss calling me and telling me to keep working off the clock when I was a minor. I'd own that gym now.
