Millennials, I Need To Know All The Gen Z Trends You Side-Eye — And The Ones You Secretly Want To Take Part In
It's no secret that Gen Z loves a little recycling moment. Pretty much all our trends are recycled, from Y2K to '80s revivalism to what we call "preppy." (Hint: it's not really all that preppy.)
Some things that the youngsters do are honestly pretty embarrassing... but some are super cute. So, millennials, tell me: which Gen Z trends are you side-eyeing, and which do you secretly want to take part in?
Maybe you love the little retro-chic moments that seem to phase back into style — for example, the '90s headphones kids seem to be using again. Or... maybe you really don't like them, because what try-hard needs such outdated tech?! Either way, tell me your opinion.

Perhaps you have a deep hatred for low-rise pants that has you glaring with vitriol at every 16-year-old who dares to come within your vicinity. (No shame here.)
Maybe you think it's cute that the teens today love the scene culture of the 2000s, and that people idolized the '80s so much when Stranger Things came out.
Or... maybe it irks you that each generation always thinks they are inventing the Next Big Thing, when really it's something you've been doing for decades.
Perhaps the things you like and dislike are things I haven't even thought about. This is your chance to share your Gen-Z-related opinions with me!
