    The children now love luxury; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are tyrants, not servants of the households. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize over their teachers.

      Look if you ever reach the point of muttering about "Kids these days" and it's not about how they all suck at Counter Strike you are lost. Utterly lost. The spirit of humanity has died within you and is rotting. The kids will be fine. The kids have always been fine. There has never been a generation of The Kids in history that was truly weirder than their parents.

          I don't think judging a generation by those who survived is fair. The cool people tend to die earlier

              Material conditions or alternatively, were they ever that cool?

              I have a theory that for many people, the youth-leftist thing isn't based in solidarity or whatever, it's based in self-interest - across generations. Makes sense to be a socialist, when you're poor, and all. As the survivors gain their riches, they get more conservative - they have property to "defend" now. They were always self-serving people, it's just they were occasionally in a position where that meant to be vaguely left.

                Yeah wouldn't necessarily blame all this on people being ontologically "self-serving" from the beginning, thats liberal moralistic thinking. A shift towards cuckservativism its just an inevitable consequence of gaining wealth and property within a capitalist society. They weren't born selfish, they became selfish after years of indoctrination and falling into a position that strongly incentivises it.

    i get the "less educated" and "without values" part but where does depression play into the zombie stereotype, depression implies the existence of conscious human thought processes, what a shit journalist

      They're picturing a depressed person as a nihilistic killjoy that doesn't want to do anything and lives without a purpose, I'm assuming.

      Would be funny if they still bought into the "metal is satanic" thing, not realising that Mgła are actually fascists like them

      But it's more likely they just typed "hooded man" in a search engine

    SO WHAT IT'S YOUR PROBLEM

    WE DON'T CARE --- IT'S NOT OUR FAULT

    A SCREAMING HEADACHE ON THE BROW OF THE STATE
    KILLING TIME IS APPROPRIATE

    TO MAKE A MESS

    AND FUCK ALL THE REST

    When the values of the culture at large are theft, genocide, and anything else that makes money for the people who least need it, the only sane response is depression.

    Now that it's mentioned, "Generation Z" does sound like it would be the name of a late 2000s/early 2010s zombie movie trying to cash in on the big zombie fad at the time.
