  2. Synonym of Gen-Zer.

    • There’s nothing worse, after all, than male mutton dressed as lamb; or an old-style peacock dressed like a TikTok-ing Gen Z.
    • Gen Zs predominantly use social media for constant consumption and entertainment or, as the term is becoming known, ‘infotainment’ (material that is intended to inform and entertain).
    • More than 80 percent of Gen Zs aged eighteen to twenty-one report money as a source of significant stress.
