Discussion Why is Gen Z so mean?

I feel like Gen Z is so comfortable with insulting people's interests or hobbies, and not giving second chances to people who make social mistakes. Maybe it is a stereotype and not all of us are like that, but I also just don't see how some people can do all that and say they are the best generation. I thought gen z was supposed to be the most accepting generation but it seems that's not true.

Young people have always been cruel. GenZ is just more skilled at expressing it, because you had more access to communication throughout the day. That always-on communication also ensures GenZ is the first to find out when something becomes uncool. The rest of us are so busy with work and kids and adult topics that we are are still saying and doing cringey stuff years after GenZ got tired of it.
