Aliens Interact With And Are Totally Confused By Gen Z Humans? (and An Emo As Well, If You Can?)

Aliens interact with and are totally confused by Gen Z humans? (and an emo as well, if you can?)

Sorry you waited so long, I was struggling to come up with something since "gen z" is a much broader term than people realize.

First, allow me to introduce you to the...

Aliens Interact With And Are Totally Confused By Gen Z Humans? (and An Emo As Well, If You Can?)

Bright young people who passed their tests with flying colors. While the image only shows these notable three for this story, the graduating class composes of many skilled individuals with varying backgrounds.

Unlike many of this generation, these very few are lucky to get their dream job.

They worked hard to get in. They really did. But no matter what they did, or where they found success, they were met with critism from older generations.

These three in particular, and one older man placed in charge, were placed on a Spaceship to train as the new star sailors. Aboard this same craft were several aliens, who were used to human ways from the generation preceding.

Immediately upon boarding, the discrimination was clear from the older male. He especially seemed to hate a young boy with long black hair and piercings. The boy was often met with phrases like: "when I was your age..." and "I can't believe they allowed you onto the ship looking like that."

Despite the hostility, the three did as humans do and were seemingly cheerful. They passed around beverages on their breaks, gave each other high fives and fist bumps, and sometimes they gave out hugs. Jokes were common. The alien crew members would admit these jokes were a little weird. From simply saying "bread" the group would burst in a fit of giggles and be told off by their instructor. Mental health was a common joke among them too, often laughing about being "dead inside" and failures. Such sad "jokes" juxtaposed with such bright expressions really did a number on aliens. Weren't human smiles a GOOD thing???

Upon asking one of them about these same jokes, the human simply offered up a colorful image of a young boy giving out finger guns, captioned "nothing really mattered".

"It's okay," the human would say. "We're all that way."

Despite the instructors complaints, there was nothing wrong with the humans work performances. They were just the same as the instructor had been back when he was with his old crew. They were inexperienced and maybe a bit complain-y for sure, but... so had been the instructor at their age. Hell, he used to skip work and get drunk in the hot boiler room. Still had a scar from being dared to touch heated equipment. By comparison, these three in particular were actually much better than the last crew.

Aliens observed this and looked through human's written records. As far as alien's can see, the humans have always, ALWAYS, been filled with varying personalities like this generation. Gen z wasn't as odd as they claimed - well, odd by comparison. They had their own unique quirks, and interests, and styles, but so did any other generation. What was it about gen z that scared the older generation?

To look deeper meant to learn of a new word. Prejudice. The hate against gen z was nothing new to human behaviors. It seemed... ANY "group" different than another "group" was met with hostility. Simply being a new batch of humans with the crime of being born in a different year was enough to scare the elderly among them. Gen z wasn't the first with this discrimination. No, many, MANY sources were found against millennials too. An obsessive amount one can say...

Even farther back one can find complaints about the "boomers", even if they weren't called that back then. So... why did the "boomers" not learn and treat future generations kindly? Why did the millennials themselves turn around and complain about gen z?

Despite the constant badgering, these three took it quite well. How do you three handle the older man's prejudice? And with that, the entire crew now had a new catchphrase among them.

Older man (slamming down a piece of paper onto the desk): "How am I supposed to work with this?"

Alien (looking it over): "I can't say I understand the problem."

Man: "It's not specific enough. I needed you to categorize these by the alphabet."

Alien: "We've been over this. We do not sort letters the same way human's do, I simply am not familiar with-"

Man (already walking out):"just redo it"

Alien (moving the paper underneath the "forget" to do it pile): "Ok Boomer"

Man (from a distance): "Everyone needs to STOP CALLING ME THAT."
