Generation Z Doesn't Know They Rule The World

Generation Z is a weird generation because it is a generation without direction or goal but for some reason they are in charge of what Millennials and Boomers see and no one wants to admit that that’s what actually happening.

But let’s talk about Gen Z babies first and what I mean about not having actual goals, what I mean is that they Gen Z-ers doesn’t know what they want because they are the first generation to be free from handed down responsibility.

Baby Boomers created everything from the ground up because they and the generation before them came from a time of war and discourse and they didn’t have time to be individuals as they were trying to fix the world then Millennials had to upgrade the world they inherited from the Baby Boomers, they had to enhance technology and every way of life and basically created a free blanks slate for the next generation.

Which is what happened to Gen Z, they have been given so much freedom, they are the generation that can become almost anything because anything is possible for them now but the problem is they don’t know what they want because the Millennials have done it all, but they do know what they want when they see it.

Gen Z-ers are the ones in charge of virality and what is given attention in the world now.

Every topic that goes viral starts from some Gen Z-ers discovering it one by one, then it is made into memes, then into discussion, some takes offense by it, some laugh at it but it is given attention nonetheless then it is passed down to Millennials which (being the ever flexible generation that they are) completely reinvents their stuff to match what Gen Z wants, they rebrand their companies to what is trending while the Boomers rely on what is trending to just keep up on what is happening to the world.

Gen Z-ers has become the judge, jury and executioner of what the world sees but why are they the most looked down upon generation? Not even looked down on but completely ignored.

Boomers has a natural superiority complex because they built this world we’re living on and believe that they are still right despite the world changing around them and everything they are becoming irrelevant by the second, Millennials are rather the most looked down upon but has the most attention because the world is theirs now and Boomers think they are messing it up but Millennials keep changing and changing and bettering itself while the two see Gen Z-ers as the kid with the iPad that just needs to sit in the corner.

Boomers tell them to do this while the Millennials keeps asking them what they want and in the confusion the Gen Z doesn’t know what to do and it keep thinking that because the world will still go on as they take their time.

I am Gen Z, I was born in 1999 and since then I know what I want to be, I want to be a Writer and Director and work in the film and television industry, but If I work hard enough I can do that but I can also not do that, I can receive consequences for not doing it but avoid it by doing something else because I can anything right now.

And yes, some of the things I can say, I can say because I was born middle class and have some privilege to say to them but the freedom of the Gen Z can be applied to any class.

Gen Z’s in lower classes can be everything because they can strive to be anything, no one believes in “lower class jobs” anymore because we found out there is no such thing, people from lower class has the most drive and stake so they can be anything they want and do anything they want.

Gen Z’s in middle class can also be everything by having the right privilege to change what they want to do or to become, to have enough room to discover who they are and not just in career but also in sexual orientation, moral grounds and etc. and the lower class can still do those.

Gen Z’s in upper class can literally do anything they want they have the total complete freedom of becoming anything they want; they have connections from millennials to go anywhere and the handed down wealth from boomers to have anything.

But the Gen Z freedom doesn’t go without a big cost.

In lower classes, Gen Z’s are exposed into a limited world just because lower class millennials and boomers tell them that their options are limited so the Gen Z adapts this mindset and thinks that there are little to no hope in life that they almost have to resort to a life of crime, drugs and sex because that life seems better than the limited life they were told and some with that mindset think life is so limited that they need to bow down to the upper classes to get through to life.

In middle classes, the Gen Z here are the ones most confused about life of what is right and wrong, they are at the leading Gen Z of what goes out into the world of social media and what goes viral so they have the most influence to not just other Gen Z-ers but to Millennials and Boomers.

For the most part it’s good, due to popularity, homosexuality has become more accepted as it should be, sexuality is now recognized as a spectrum and common good is what people like but on the downside, systemic racism is rising again along with xenophobes and for some reason Nazis and you might think that most common Nazi’s are boomers or millennials but there are also Gen Z’s not due to influence but bad history research and just close mindedness that they chose to develop.

In short this is these are the Gen Z in charge of social media morality, of what’s good or bad.

And finally, in upper classes, the Gen Z’s downsides here are too many that I can only category them in two, there is the bad one, the side where such young people are given so much power in privilege that they want the world to be theirs and for the first time they actually can, if they want to be racists they can, if they want power, they have it, there is also so much potential for them because if they want to help the world, they also can, but I have yet to see that happen.

The other category is the sad one, the one’s who are pressured by older generations to become what THEY want, to not end the cycle of being given a single mindset of what you should be and you have to listen because they gave you your power and they can take it away.

So, they are the most prone to mental illnesses, abuse and having their true self not be out there, if the older generations would let them, they would flourish and become influential or they can be just themselves which is equally right.

But so far that is where Gen Z stands, with so much power but doesn’t even know they have it and can change so much when they wield it.

And before I finish I’ll leave you with another thing I noticed, that most older generations try to influence us too much even after we know what we are, Millennials try to take the helm on what goes viral, we believe that they do but we’re the one who actually let them be viral and Boomers try to tell us what to be or bad things will happen even though that is completely false.

Older generations tell us what we are and what we should do because they’re scared that we’re the ones in charge now but is using the fact that we don’t know that in an attempt to keep control.

But that’s just my opinion.
