From when I was a toddler I knew that I wasn't like kids my age. Even now as a youth, I've learned to live with the fact that my opinions are unpopular, construed as genuinely just different from my peers. This particular mental trait of mine is probably due to my not so regular childhood and the lifestyle I've had. It has made me have numerous misunderstandings and arguments with most strangers of the same age of mine and in retrospect has granted me the blessings of strangers that are far older than I am😂
The Gen Z or Zoomers apparently is the age I fall under (thanks to a quick Google search), this is an age demographic that has brought numerous changes to life as we know it. Excelling and rebelling in numerous sectors; changing ideas and challenging traditions. And as much as I agree with the mindset and their traits in numerous ways, I find myself not agreeing in so many others.
There are a whole bunch of unpopular opinions which are my opinions concerning the Gen Z demographic that I have, but yet I am here to just share 5 and hear your thoughts about them.
1. It's okay to be Ugly.
I tend to write off the top of my head. Like I choose a topic, create a general idea and then I move with the flow. Hence when I just write "hear your thoughts about them..." Immediately this came to my mind and I knew it was something I should talk about.
Ugly people exist. And I don't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any other fancy way. I mean some people are ugly, straight up.
And it's all right.
I'm not ugly, I'm just not your type.
I'm sorry my friend, you're nobody's type.
Sometimes a touch of realism is good. It'll help you understand what you lack and work on what you do have.
2. Fun mustn't be on the screens.
I'm aware this isn't as scandalous or as heavily controversial as opinion number 1, but I do believe it as genuinely as before.
I am a phone addict, that I know and sadly my lifestyle and work encourages such.
Yet, I do know the genuine feeling of pristine off the phone fun.
The joy of tag, dodgeball or even a simple card game, played with a human in your front that you can see, feel, smell and punch.
3. "For the plot." Is a very valid reason.
Go on that journey. Ask that girl out. Inquire if you can stare the train, plane or bike.
We sometimes never try new things because we need a "genuine reason" to take an action.
There's no reason more genuine than for the plot.
For your life is the plot and the memories are the story.
You'd be surprised the amount of things you can do or you'd be allowed to do if you just asked.
You never know what the plot is for, so try everything and when you look back at your life, you'll know you lived.
4. We aren't lazy, we are done pretending.
This is something that is happening to.me currently and genuinely I won't have it.
The idea that job hunting would turn to a humiliation ritual is not a tradition I'm willing to participate in.
5. Other people are allowed to have their opinions.
People are stupid. Everyone constantly underestimates the sheer number of stupid people active in any given society and when you try to converse, argue and persuade a confident fool, you just prove there are two.
This is one thing I've seen happen so many times to count.
Yet, you constantly see heated arguments of total strangers trying to convert each other to the other person's belief and then getting agitated, aggressive and insultive when the other doesn't convert.
Like you really believe the Muslim would understand that Jesus died for them and that their ladies shouldn't have to cover themselves in hijab?
You believe that you can convince the gay to be straight because according to you; "It is wrong."?
The glaring one that happened yesterday in my front was when a girl was being verbally abused, ridiculed and harassed for her view on feminism and abortion. The lass stood her ground, went blow for blow and put up a fight that I had to commend her for it.
Tempers flared, words exchanged, thumbs red from furious typing and some nights ruined, yet no progress at all because no body was convinced of the other😂😂
An excellent waste of energy and emotions😂
Sometimes, it's alright to accept it's their view. It is a stupid and retarded view, but it's theirs and that's all right ✨
These are just a few of the unpopular opinions I have concerning Gen Z's at the moment. Is there any you agree or disagree with?
I'd love to hear it in the comment.
