New War open between the two generations. Az is being attacked by his silent gaze, but he says a lot to millennials. But young adults have arguments in their favor.
Empty, annoying expression that makes others feel stupid. Or wide, rolled and eyebrow eyes erected. The phenomenon is gaining traction on social networks, especially in Tiktok, where the debate between millennials and young adults is increasingly heated. After all, what is this from “Gen Z stare” – or “Zepery“?
Many people have been “attacking” generation Z for the way they communicate in everyday life, especially in the workplace. They do not speak or respond: they just look atthe most critical complain.
Much of these experiences with people of generation Z in airplane mode is reported in public service services. Those who denounce the phenomenon say that younger employees face customers in silence instead of greeting them or starting the conversation. They are waiting for the customer to say something.
The same phenomenon is noticed when the papers are reversed, another Tiktok user who worked in a boutique and who received “the look” from younger customers.
Is it bad education? Antipathy? Lack of social skills? Or lack of professionalism and common sense? Maybe it is none.
The defense of generation Z
Generation Z defends itself with their parents’ allegations: the fixed look is not hostile, but a reaction to what they consider misconceptions of them, some young adults explain.
And remember: No, the customer is not always right. Some users believe that the look of fashion is linked to this: it is a form of resistance to the condescension of clients or in the face of authority itself.
The so -called “Generation Z look” is seen by some as a way of processing what is happening in a particular environment. As who is questioned (speechless): “Seriously?”.
It may also be a consequence of years during which young people have not been encouraged to express themselves before older generations, even when they were right-the old issue of education and duty of respect for the elders that often overlaps the reason and equality of rights, remind the “gen zers”.
Many older people “talk too much, say stupid things proudly, but they are being stupid,” says a Tiktok user, specifically addressing interactions in restoration, a sector where he works, in which he already has over 11 million views and 3.3 million ‘tastes’.
Some experts, such as Jen Twenge, cited by, and by, point their finger at the confinements of Covid-19 pandemic that, allied to the increased use of technology, may have limited the development of the Z generation’s face -to -face social skills.
Already the psychologist specializing in young adults, Meg Jay, admits that the mischievous look can be owed to inexperience and insecurity that the first job brings. The work context has several dynamics and young people may not yet know how to react immediately to all professional contexts, explains to.
On the other hand, “this is not new“Reminds psychologist Ellen Hendriksen:“ All generations criticize them that follow them. ”And in fact, this seems to be another case where Millennials get generation Z in the same box in which they were inserted by the Boomers, decades earlier.
