    Millennials are older than Gen Z. Why would a Gen Z’er be sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper? Gen Z would be born between 1997 and 2012, these people basically grew up online.

      I suspect the author meant Gen X, but was too busy laughing at their own joke to bother checking which generation is which

          Exactly. If anything it should be Gen Z (or Alpha) saying those things

        Millennials: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that’s when they were growing up.

        Gen Z: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that’s when there was still some hope in the world.

        Gen alpha: not old enough yet to be nostalgic (but will probably be nostalgic for the pre-trump/pre-covid days of the US).

      I read that as Gen X. Gen Z makes no sense.
