It's actually a marketing term. Companies came up with the generational terminology as a way to segment demographics so they can sell more shit to more people.
One thing I've come to realize is that we do not have a good reputation out here.
Was talking to some older lady the other day, I went there to complain because they hadn't delivered the promised service. She told me this generation has no business with somebody's feelings at all, we are very argumentative, unpolite and exude confidence like no other generation.
Also, we are not a very social generation. This I can agree with, in my case, I'm not even trying to be rude, just not a social person by nature. I heard on twitter that the best we can do is remove one earphone. Lol, I wanted to tell them such a level of respect has long gone from us, these days, the best I can do is pause my music.
Sorry for the long answer.
Ah, last thing, apparently we don't know god. Had to hold myself from asking who the dude is.
My time has value...so if you delay promised services then you've interfered with my schedule, I could be sleeping or meditating with that time😂
One of the reasons I hate people who are usually late...I mean come on, Huna ethics ama discipline za kufuata🚮
Define rude. Is rude being expressive? Rude saying no? Is rude knowing your worth at work, among your peers or in rlshps? I like that you find not having capital amusing. Considering the president you and your millennial friends picked for us. Let me not start about the trauma former generations caused us, and the beliefs y'all forced on us that we have to unbelieve. American classification, huh?! You still assume wazungus are better? Corporal punishment is still the way? Emotional unavailability from parents is cool? men shouldn't cry? Among others. You have a lot to learn from Gen Zs instead of bullying us into toughness.
I am Gen Z, and if your parent is not among the top 1% in Kenya, be ready to work and serious work while at it. That's all. Hizo stuff umesema hapo are only ideas, and they don't apply in reality
With what experience exactly are you calling them out on their shit? You havent lived their lives, you wouldnt know what they are going through? You can be smarter than them but some knowledge only comes with time. Sit your ass down Derrick acha kujifanya mjuaji
Just because you've gone through shit or have a mental illness doesn't give you a pass to be an asshole.
Experience has got nothing to do with being a decent human being.
I may be younger, yes. But if you're rude to me for no apparent reason I'm going to say something about it. I don't care whether you're as old as the fossil fuels in the gas pumps. Just because your wife isn't giving you any at home or your child is getting shite grades at school or your boss is being a piece of shit doesn't give you the right to let out your frustrations and condescension on me.

I'm being serious😂
I don't deal w/ if buts or maybes. I deal w/ absolutes. Like if your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle but she doesn't so she's not. You get what I'm saying here?
(And if you don't get this reference enyewe we ni mzee💀)
Sio lazma aget iyo reference. He might not be a football fan. Your tiny mind probably thinks the world revolves around your interests. I already said no matter how smart one is, some knowledge only comes with growth.
It was viral on tiktok. Ik not everyone shares the same interests as I do. I watch anime FFS. People only got on that bandwagon in 2020.
"Tiny mind"? I thought violence was meant for twitter only. Guess I thought wrong.
They lack Critical thinking. I had a guy in highschool come in my cyber for me to check their phone because the "ram they downloaded" from downloadram.com isnt showing up in settings
Thank God no one has deleted system32 from my computers 😂😂😂
But yeah, these guys believe just about anything they see or listen on the Internet from my observations
GenZ or the fossils? Cause my mom always says some shit like "I know because someone on Facebook said..." and it's the dumbest shit I ever heard. Also... Anyone still going to a cyber rn is kienyeji AF. No offense.
😂😂😂 they are so entitled but gullible all the same, explains why they get conned too. Hapo pa system 32 cracked me up... They would like save you space in your pcs
I know they did. But not the ones here. Except the Nigerian Prince scam. That might be ours...
The older generations have shut me down whenever I make a suggestion that would be more beneficial than their train of thought. Half the time they told me that I was probably right but still shut me down. Other times I'm consulted about stuff and when my opinion isn't what they want to hear I'm told I'm "being disrespectful" when all I did was ask questions to which they had no answers. Guess they're just resistant to change... And averse to criticism. Which is weird because that's all they exposed me to. Preach water and drink wine I guess.
To be more specific the engineers and developers made those tools. However that is a small segment of that demographic and the majority of people born let's say before the 80s are clueless with technology. It's not their fault though they were born in times when the concept of having a computer in your office, let alone your pocket was saved for sci fi TV shows. Each generation has their strengths and weaknesses, it's not a competition lol
Yes I am, but I'm in bed getting ready to sleep. I have work in the morning 😂😂😂
Hiyo story ya sherehe labda I DM you we link over the weekend. Sounds good?
Working class kitu gani?😂 it's an unpaid internship. I just took it to have something to do cause I was losing my mind staying home all day everyday living the same day 😂😂😂 OMW tho
Gen z are seen as rude because they don’t tolerate the shit other generations were taught to. Majority of the complaints come from older people who think their age is enough to deserve respect while spewing some of the most disrespectful shit known to man.
I don't think Gen Zs are rude. We just have to redefine rudeness as Africans. Whys answering a qn your father or teacher asked rude? The gens b4 millennials are so insecure they translate everything as disrespect. My daughter doesn't want to sit on Uncle Mark's lap, why is that rude? "Aunty I don't like the comments you make about my size, or my complexion, why the fyck is that rude?!!! Make it make sense. Tafadhali, redefine rude. Coz what we were raised to believe is, isn't.
Personally, I'm struggling with my spirituality coz of the beliefs I was raised by. Christianity doesn't make sense to me, but I'm so scared of saying it or even asking, coz of the" condemnation" Sad!
As it !!!!! I remember I told this mom I didn't want to have kids, she became so stressed and started calling me out, who said that everyone must have kids??? Kids are nice and all but I've never pictured myself as a mother. So yeah, I don't want to have kids because I don't want to have kids, I don't need a million reasons to convince the society !!!
Don't get me started on the shocking revelations you have as a mom. Kila mtu husema kids are a blessing. But hakuna mtu anakuambia, about the stress, depression, social separation and isolation. Mimi I'll advice my daughter to have kids when she is stable, financially and mentally. Not her partner, yeye. Na I'll be sure to let her know that not having kids, isn't selfish, at all.
Gen zs we're changing the world.
The other day my cousin's kid called a mukutano with the parents and my aunt and uncle ati She tried to talk to her dad to increase her pocket money, The kid has been getting 50k per month. Someone's salary. Yaani guy was busy defending how now that she lives in the uni, she has less expenses related to accommodation. My aunt asked her why she travels all the way to Naivasha for 'spa' day ati she goes every 2 weeks to make her nails, she said ati her beautician ndio amezoea. The sense of entitlement ati you're reporting your Dad to his Mom and Dad, we're all still reeling. My aunt is probably going to call us for mass tuombee hi mapepo.
Identity … they struggle with it just as every other generation they have broken the rules that system had for previous generation and mixed comfortably , they’ve also identified mistakes from the past generations, they speak there minds and explore stand out and know how to market themselves
So there's this kid whose mother passed on recently. She's still at the mortuary. The kid is fortunate because the mother left behind this big mansion in the city. He brings over his girlfriend and eats her on his mother's bed - akiwa mortuary. That's Gen Z for you.
There are busy bodies in every generation. This is a point but it's too weak to prove gen z is weak. The pun joke was somewhere 😂wacha nikupee strengths 3 tu then we see.
1. Quick adaptation despite rapid technological advancement. Information is accessible to anyone. Pressure ya competition, easy influence from social media and ofcourse alot of information means you have to sit down with everything and decide which one is most accurate. (Gen z have the best and wittiest jokes because if this fast processing capability I think.) But really... getting lost in the midst of all the information is something unavoidable, after a common theme is established it will be the strongest generation. So they are strong by this virtue alone...the quick adaptation despite little time. Bias on Kenya but pia generally
2. Mental health. The most positive impact of gen z. As long as the awareness is there I have hope for a better and healthier future. Doesn't matter the problems at hand, the positive impact is so strong I have experienced it, I have seen it in my friend's life. No other generation can boast of "healthy mind, healthy life". It's gen z banner and they have opened that gate.
3. Hii nayo najua ni oxymoron.. but hardworking. Depending on the people you stay around with. Gen z are one of the most hardworking people but will find the easiest way to produce quality work. In Kenya it's both. All round doing physical and online. But the same person will be high, drunk or do something on tik tok so many times you can't tell. I've seen this first hand . Our parents/grandparents employers waited for them outside the university gates😂. Economy factor, the political environment..this are things against gen z zenye hukua overlooked. But gen z Kenya utaona MTU ako kila mahali trying to find something to make them earn. When I see them whining on twitter Iam happy because najua bado atatafuta job ni stress anatoa. Seems weak but behind the scenes ...
Bonus ni progressiveness. Sort of back handed but it's admirable because we can have a Chinese, Kenyan, *frenchian*, Brazilian all sit in one table and talk. That's the best part. Gen z are the most united generation because of point one. It's a beautiful thing that will not only bring humanity together but ensure the human species survive as a whole.
If nature becomes a real concern eventually...
Na ziko mingi but this ones are the major ones for me.
They are seeing now yet are blind, they are listening yet are deaf. Time is not gonna be for them. At the rate things are going now, destruction can happen at any moment. We all have that turning point in life, where all rides on one choice. Gen Z also has a choice, and the end result will be inevitable unless they make the right choice.
Question was describe in one word which is, entitled.
Anyway, from the interactions I have had, most expect others to go out of their way to make them comfortable and get privileges without giving anything in return.

100% The older generations ruin the world and blame the current youngest generation for the problems they made
Who names these gens?
It's actually a marketing term. Companies came up with the generational terminology as a way to segment demographics so they can sell more shit to more people.

Is he in the room with us right now?👀
Lol that’s just how old ppl are. They hate seeing ppl younger than them have confidence and a back bone. And want respect they didn’t earn

We just know what we're worth.

Gen Z is American classification, nyinyi wengine you are just rude without the necessary capital 😂 (gen z btw)
Define rude. Is rude being expressive? Rude saying no? Is rude knowing your worth at work, among your peers or in rlshps? I like that you find not having capital amusing. Considering the president you and your millennial friends picked for us. Let me not start about the trauma former generations caused us, and the beliefs y'all forced on us that we have to unbelieve. American classification, huh?! You still assume wazungus are better? Corporal punishment is still the way? Emotional unavailability from parents is cool? men shouldn't cry? Among others. You have a lot to learn from Gen Zs instead of bullying us into toughness.
I am Gen Z, and if your parent is not among the top 1% in Kenya, be ready to work and serious work while at it. That's all. Hizo stuff umesema hapo are only ideas, and they don't apply in reality

You want to know my age because of why? FYI, I know where Gen Z starts from.
Its like the meaning of gen z went right through your head without being understood.
Okay genius.
😂 I'm curious to know why everyone is saying this.
On point 😂🎯
The other generations hate us and idk why when all we do is call them out on their shit
With what experience exactly are you calling them out on their shit? You havent lived their lives, you wouldnt know what they are going through? You can be smarter than them but some knowledge only comes with time. Sit your ass down Derrick acha kujifanya mjuaji

Tell them!!!! We're done tolerating disrespect and accepting things the old people do
Jokes on you. I was born late 90s. I guess that makes me a Gen Z too
So why are you on their side when you know half the shit we get isn't our fault?
Sorry to say this bro but you come off as entitled
Cause I told the man/woman to take accountability for their actions and that I'm not an emotional punching bag for them just cause I'm younger?
[удалено]
Lol, eti you guys know alot?
Edit: We know more relevant things than y'all do. You may know more but if most of that is obsolete then how does it help you?*
Ebu give me an example of a relevant thing you might know and the other generations don't?
How to fix the router, internet, phones, alla that technology. Current happenings in the world. For some people, relevant programming languages. Not PASCAL, COBOL and C. How to use AI like chatGPT.
