Generation Z, which includes people born between 1997 and 2012, is increasingly more influential in culture and in the workplace. At the same time, these digital natives face lots of unique challenges, whether they’re economic, social, or technological. There’s nothing quite like some quality memes and relatable humor to help you understand the mindset of a generation.

That’s where the popular r/GenZ subreddit comes in. We’ve collected some of the funniest and most eerily accurate memes shared by the members of the community to give you a good laugh. Scroll down, check the pics out, and be sure to spam your friends with the ones you enjoyed the most.

Late boomer here, and those a******s should have been outta there 15 years ago. Age 65. Can't run for president until 35, GTFO or no more than half a term where you reach 65.

Millennial here, i wholeheartedly agree. It's insane that we have retirement age for literally every other job except being a politician.

Last year Boomer here and oh my g*d yes. These old out of touch relics have no business running anything other than their own retirement. And it's not just one party, we've seen both Rep and Dem politicians who have clearly passed their "use by" date. Full retirement age is 67 and IMHO that's the last age that one should be able to run for office.

Um, I'm Gen X and I think that. More importantly, no Rep should serve more than 4-5 terms, and no senator more than 2 terms. Back before COVID there was an announcement about a Dem taking his 25,000th vote, then, a couple months later, a Repub. In both cases I'm yelling at the radio "this is a bad thing! No one should be in Congress that long."

    We have a local restaurant that changes most of its menu every week so they added QR code stickers to every table so patrons can view the menu on their phones. They also print paper copies just in case. I was talking to the manager and he said no one ever scans the QR code, they always ask for paper 😆 he can see the stats online of how many scans the QR codes get and he said it had been maybe 1 scan per week for months

    While most researchers agree that Gen Z refers to Americans born between 1997 and 2012, some people have different opinions. For instance, the moderators in charge of the r/GenZ subreddit suggest that Gen Zers are those people born in the United States as early as 1996.

    There’s also some overlap between people born on the cusp between Generation Y (aka Millennials, born between 1981 and 1996) and Generation Z. They’re referred to as Zillennials, and mostly include folks born between 1993 and 1998.

    The same people bashing trans people (who have literally always existed) were the same kind of people bashing LGBTQ folks a few decades ago, and the same kind of people freaking out about Black folks using “white bathrooms” decades earlier. It’s always conservatives picking a boogeyman/scapegoat to spread fear and hate over, despite all evidence that those people are fine and normal human beings. It’s all I think about when I hear the trans panic coming from the right. It’s cruel and hateful for literally no reason. They need to wake up and educate themselves, they look so unintelligent and afraid.

    The so-called "communist" dictatorships did not offer a genuine economic alternative to capitalism. That is why, over the past 20 to 25 years, experts have instead referred to them as "bureaucratic state capitalism", to provide a more accurate definition. Therefore, these two examples represent only extreme forms of capitalism. Social democracy has proven to be its most livable form and can be seen as a feasible middle ground indeed.

    Funny, it was not Gen Z but actually the early, young Millennials who thought that way, because that's what they were taught. They were called "digital natives" and it was widely assumed they had an almost magical, inborn ability with tech that no other generation would ever be able to grasp. I saw so many who came into the workplace expecting to be sling-shot up the ranks. Some were, for a time. It was sad when it was realized they weren't wizards after all. But Gen Z? I'd say they think the opposite--that success comes rarely or not at all. Gen Z gets criticized enough. Give them a break.

    True but it’s not a specific generational thing 😂 my gen X mum and I, a millennial, were joking about our old high school friends who would go broke trying to wear designer brands and drive the coolest cars while they could barely afford rent. Some people are honestly just like that, their egos are so important to them

    Meanwhile, many Gen Zers seem to have a love-hate relationship with technology. According to The Guardian, based on data from a pool by the New Britain Project think tank, two-thirds of 16-to-24-year-olds believe that social media “does more harm than good” and three-quarters want tough regulation to protect younger people.

    Around half of respondents think they spent too much time on social media when they were younger. Moreover, four out of five Gen Zers admit they’d like to keep their kids away from social media as long as possible if they decide to become parents someday.

    Yeah, no. The big difference is that before social media, the kids who were having a hard time at school could still relax when they got home. Now, the b*llying never stops: they'll be getting harassed through texts and social media posts. Not to mention how easy it is to snap an embarrassing picture and send it to the whole school in a click. That's the reason why school became a lot more stressful for anyone who doesn't fit in, it has nothing to do with grades. (The pressure to do good academically is way lower than it was a few decades ago.)

    The problem is that it’s essentially the same school system we had 40 years ago — and even back then, it was already outdated. Society, the pace of life, and the way we communicate have changed drastically, yet most of the methods used in public schools remain the same. As a result, they’re now largely dysfunctional, leading only to frustration, anxiety, and a growing disconnect between generations.

While I think there are many factors (kids having limited time playing outdoors, little autonomy in play (sports must be organized, play must be supervised) and less face-to-face communication (due to texting, etc), social media is certainly a correlation.

    I went to a special needs school. For real some of the kids took so long that by the time they had finished a sentence they didn't remember the start of it. Ouch! I too was rarely picked to read because I read extremely quickly.

    Except you can usually tell when it's nerves, as opposed to being dumb. I definitely remember kids struggling to pronounce easy, relatively well known words. Of course it was the d-bags who just talked all class long, not even trying to fake learning.

    I don't get why people can't see the difference between all these activities and gaming. Nothing wrong with a bit of gaming to unwind etc, but it is not in the same category as developing and nurturing social skills and support networks, using and developing neural pathways while imagining scenarios, people, voices, etc from a book, using and building physical health and fitness, etc.

    Well, the stereotype of the reader, gardener, swimmer, worker, shopper, and social butterfly ISN'T someone who lives with the lights out in the basement, doesn't bathe, eats junk food, and pees in Mtn Dew bottles. Mental stimulation, physical activity, and face-to-face social contact really is better for you. Yeah, I know. Not all gamers. Many people who game do so while living a well-rounded life. But the stereotype didn't evolve out of thin air. And it's just so eeeeasy to slide into that computer chair and get lost in the games and the apps for hour after hour.

    They ARE disgusting these days. Sugar? Now glucose syrup. Other sugar? Now artificial sweeteners. Butter? Now palm oil. I remember the shock I had when somebody who visited the UK brought back a pack of my (former) favourite Kipling Apple Pies. The lovely pastry was now gunk that stuck to the top of my mouth, and the apple filling tasted like the sort of pretend apple that lollipops are (despite having actual apple pieces) because all of the proper ingredients were replaced for bogus health reasons (actually "because cheaper", look if I was worried about my health I'd be eating an apple not an apple PIE). Whatever, once upon a time things had decent ingredients. Now it's fake cheap stuff and this means everything tastes horrid these days.

    Some of the biggest challenges that members of Gen Z (and younger Millennials) face are economic. In 2025, a whopping 61% of people aged 18 to 35 said they have financial anxiety due to rising living expenses, job uncertainty, and housing costs.

    Meanwhile, two-thirds of Gen Z employees are worried that they won’t be able to pay off their school loans.

    Why would you assume they are in the US? But to speak to the proposition, as an amateur historian, people have lived in much worse times. And yet here we are. This notion that the world is about to collapse is as old as the Romans, (in fact, much older) yet we still have a civilization in Italy. Don't give up, people. There is so much to live for. The older you get the more you realize this.

    6 months ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Not buffering necessarily, it used to be that video players let you buffer as much as you want to (you could pause it, then let it load the whole video, hit play watch the entire video without it having to buffer). But now if you pause a video, it only preloads (read: buffering) the next few min of video before it stops preloading. Meaning if you have a bad connection, you are forced into watching a bit of it, waiting for it to buffer, watch a bit, buffer, watch, buffer, etc.; as opposed to pausing it once at the beginning, letting it all preload, and then watching without having to wait on any more buffering. Super annoying, and hopefully it makes a comeback.

    Many Gen Zers turn to side hustles to make ends meet. In 2025, 41% say that they improved their financial well-being thanks to them. Meanwhile, 31% say that growing their side hustles is their top financial priority.

Never before was so much information so easily available, was it so easy to debunk stupid claims, but people really want to believe them rather than spend just a minimal amount of time finding out that they're fake.

    At least some of those conspiracy theories will turn out to be true. But it can take generations for that information to come out. It's not easy to see which ones are unhinged (like flat earth) and which ones are true. But Bored Panda, for one, is full of little snippets of til weirdness about things we now know the government did in previous generations that nobody would have credited at the time. Giving people venereal disease (Tuskegee study) or brainwashing them (look up MK Ultra), Unit 731, etc. It's amazing what can go on. But at the time I'm sure these were conspiracy theories and people were shunned if they brought them up.

Owing to some clever programming, the four ghosts actually had different behaviours (and, thus, personalities). You can get quite a lot out of a screen that has maybe 240x180 pixels and 4-8 colours if the game is engaging enough.

You cannot call to block cards without losing three hours to the robot receptionist, and walking in the door for customer support instead of to buy, people look at you like you're on fire.

    I knew in HS I didn’t want kids. Went off on a rant one day in my social studies class about how gross kids were. My teacher laughed at me and made me a bet that I’d have a kid by the time I was 25. I said, “Let me see the money.” He and I put a dollar each in an envelope and he put in up on his bulletin board in his office. I’m 48 and still no kids. We’re friends on FB and I’ve told him a few times that I still expect payment on that bet, with interest 😂

    Well, I'm a boomer and would rather text than call. Greatest invention ever. Apart from that one, it costs money to go to appointments and buy smokes and liquor and birth control. Fear of destitution is pretty sensible. Plus, you have to be able to afford a place for s*x and the thought of pregnancy is terrifying.

    Sounds like a rich kid's post. Most people I know re-sell their phone when they buy a new one or they gift it to someone who needs one but can't afford it. The latter happened to me, it was super nice to get the phone in the original box with the serial numbers and all of the accessories including that tiny annoying thing needed to open the SIM card slot.

    If it's daytime and everyone involved is sober, it can be! I don't mind being approached in a polite way unless I'm in a hurry. I've even gone out with two guys who asked me out in the middle of the street. The problem is that too often the guys who do this are either a little weird and/or unable to read the room.

    I'm in my 50s and never approached a woman in my life. I had numerous women approach me - some I only realized a decade later. Been married for over 25 years now. And no, I was never hot, rich, or popular. I've had self-esteem issues my whole life - growing up in poverty as the only minority where I lived never let me build any. I was just present and friendly.

    When I was 10 I wanted to learn to cook as I figured I was pretty much going to spend my life alone. A boy in 1985 doing cooking was the object of ridicule, I was supposed to be interested in boy things like football and woodwork. Anyway, just entered my 50s and so far it's held true. Sometimes I'd like somebody to talk to that wasn't myself or the cat that owns me, but I'm not sure what I'd do with an omnipresent person. Solitude is how I recharge. Writing stuff like this (and a blog that, like, six people read) is about the extent of my communication.

    ChatGPT helped to explain some things to me that I hadn't quite wrapped my head around, and wasn't judgemental when I was "explain that like I'm a child" or pointed out the depressing number of times it said things that were simply wrong. So as a very patient teacher with a poor grasp of the subject it can help. But as was well demonstrated here just this weekend, having AI spew out descriptions of things is just bad. There's a sort of bland soullessness to stuff written by AI. Oh, and it sucks at writing code. Concepts, yes. Working code, not so much.

    Reminds me of my twenties. Part time waitress, no days off, living in a dump where the other tenants were hookers and glue sniffers and the rent collector was a Mafia enforcer. Buying the food on clearance at the supermarket. Walking everywhere, because I couldn't afford a bike. But because I'm old, young people assume I've never experienced this. Because, boomers have always had it all, apparently.

    I think I am exempt from all this. I was born in '66 and I don't fit any of the stereotypes. I like to smoke and chill. I listen to Zeppelin, Five Finger Death Punch, Jim Croce, Pat Metheny, Jim Hall, Vivaldi, Vince Guaraldi Trio, Floyd. Im all over the place.My whole life before I got Cancer I worked and made just enough to keep my head above water. Now I'm 58, disabled, and in my parents basement but to be fair it is a very nice full basement apartment, 3 bedroom. I pay rent and buy groceries so yes I help, they are 90. But here I am full circle. In the basement playing video games (with my kids this time, single dad), blacklight posters, incense and candles. This is where I started, This is where I end. At home. Can't complain. I didn't mention anything political mainly because at this point, I DGAF. I'll check out before the s**t hits the fan but I got a front row seat. Edit: Spelling

    I was a bit confused too, but I think what it's trying to say is that people born in 1999 see themselves as like a "older generation" while there is only a year to 4 years age difference between the two, and technology hasn't really changed that much in that short time.

    are you teaching information they will actually use in their life or are you teaching information the school system is insisting you teach? is it information they can get if they have their phones in front of them? is it researchable if they were at work? have they been in advanced in a school system that just doesn't care or is underfunded? are you ready to leave teaching and find something fun to do that is more rewarding because teaching kids who just don't learn is not rewarding anymore. I give you credit for trying.

    If nothing else then just go and spoil your ballet paper. I don't know about elsewhere but in the UK political parties take spoilt papers seriously. If the numbers go up in an area they will investigate why the candidate they are putting forward isn't appealing. They want to solve that problem before anyone else. It can also inspire more independent candidates to put themselves forward with different agendas. At the very least it makes it loud and clear that things aren't good enough. Political parties regard non-voters as a lost cause and don't waste money trying to find out how they can get them to vote for their candidate.

    GG = "good game". Used to be said by gamers at the end of a competitive game match where you play against other people (usually a first-person shooting game like Counter-Strike or Call of Duty) as a way of letting go any frustrations you may have felt during the match itself and just saying "good game" to your opponents, even if they won. IIRC nowadays it's usually used sarcastically/in a mean/cruel way, though XD But it used to be the gamer version of the handshake between two tennis players after a match - just a show of good sportsmanship.

    There isn't an "Anti-woke" thought or opinion comming from the majority of people since the show isn't woke. It has a diverse cast with strong characters of different kinds. The word "woke" became a term for productions pushing political ideologies on the expense of entertainment value by displaying the gender or ethnicity of a character as only positive trait, degrading surrounding characters based on the such traits and/or to make the protagonist look better and usually are done to beat down on the opposition. An example in contrast to "Avatar" would be "Velma" (2023 - 24). Much like terms as ESG or DEI, woke became a negative word due to the useage of pesons and corporations branding their products with this word
