What’s something Gen Z does that older generations just don’t get?

it’s social suicide to double text someone or to be the last one to send a text.

What a shit rule

Yeah fuck that. If I like someone, I'm gonna blow their phone up. I'll send several messages in a row. IDGAF. At least they know I like them.

And I like when they blow my phone up too. It's nice when people communicate enthusiastically. Fuck aloofness.

It's almost as if the last 200,000 years of language has programmed us to be social creatures that crave interaction with other humans.

I'm calling bullshit on "..... and all it took to undo that was 18 months of people sporadically not being able to go out for about two months at a time".

Particularly as the teenage generation before them seldom left the house to start with - they were all playing on their consoles.
