    This is the first generation that grew up living as much online as they do in the “real world”

    Idk about that. The internet was already heavily adopted by the mid-00s. Millennials are as online as any generation after them. Hell, the Boomers are the most terminally online. Facebook hit the Olds like crack hit the inner cities.

    GenZ might be the first generation that’s self-aware enough to notice how fucked it all is. They’re the ones gagging on the excess of social media and AI slop, which older generations seem to be swallowing placidly.
