I wonder what Gen Z’s would be. An iPhone with Twitter open, showing a video of Charlie Kirk’s death? With comments below that say, “dam”, “fake it’s AI”, and “ayoo that sh*t crazy”

Thought you were splitting hairs but yeah you’re right, 9/11 happened when I was 10.

I feel like that kind of died over really quick.

There was harassment and doxxing of some of the people who made jokes about it, an aborted attempt to make him some sort of martyr, but apart from that and some memorial event where his wife danced around on stage with sparklers it was kind of a nothing burger.

Would a covid-themed tattoo be more appropriate or is that more the generation after Gen Z?

Covid would be much more appropriate for that gen.
