unvis.it/businessinsider.com/generation-z-sex-alcohol-driving-study-2017-9

half of them are brown retards and the white half is depressed

I don't do that stuff.

I burned out. Don't know about the others.

most of them aren't even in high school yet. they'll hit their degenerate stage in a few years.

>why isn't gen z doing all of these things
>why isn't the gen that starts at mid 90s to today doing these things

are these retards serious? Literally, only a few of those kids in gen z (who were born in the 90s) have even started and finished college, the vast majority are still in grade school.

>driving
a car? insurance? can't afford it.
>working
no car? tough luck, also Punjab will do the job at 1/2 the normal cost
>dating
no money? no player.
>drinking
celebrate? celebrate what?

Prove me wrong.

About driving.. Don't know elsewere, but here in Italy fuel costs really too much, also insurance and car owner tax are legalized robberies, expecially for younger ones..
About booze.. same reasons, if you Don't buy alchoolics at the supermarket before night, getting drunk is fucking expensive in any pub or bar..
'bout sex.. dunno. Bromuro in the water?

Generation Z is redpilled on the Jews and cutting off their flow of shekels.

Even a lot of people born in 80's has the same issues here..

>Why aren't our youth driving, working, dating, or drinking anymore?
because their devices and social media give them a bigger dopamine release than these other things

>Porn has replaced sex
>Internet, television, and film has replaced alcohol and partying
>Ride sharing apps like Uber has replaced the need for a driver's license

There is literally nothing wrong with this.

every group of people can be coaxed into going along with the big picture by being offered some form of comfort: i.e. "yeah I know the world is on fire, but I can just sit here and watch pron and smoke pot all day so why bother?"

gen z is starting off in this world of plenty with the only perceivable downfalls being the ones that no one has the nerve to fix because they are too comfortable

like every generation that has come before them, they want more, but in a world where nothing is stopping them from sexual liberation or indulgence, they want more. good for them

Here in the US the oil companies lobby for inefficiency by not building roundabouts for decades.

the thing wrong with all of those is that they are ways to remove the power to engage and how to engage from the person engaging, and putting that power into the hands of a mediator
>you get hooked on porn, you are now afraid to engage with other humans, and the government controls your access to sexual pleasure
>you have all the entertainment at your fingertips, but only what you are allowed to watch and if you pay for it
>you can get a ride, but only if someone is there to sell it to you

Also if you spent 50% of your time on a smartphone/tablet/phablet/wathever, an the remaining 50% on working/eating/sleeping...
Do your math

before I get a response to this, I want to make clear:

the negative phenomenon happening here is NOT technological advancement, it is the progressing obsolesence of man

Can't understand your statement. In wich way humans are getting obsolete?

Generation Z has an average age of 2. WTF is this?

>driving,
because no one knows how to fucking drive. tail gating, speeding, being slow, not understanding right of way rules, cyclists thinking they can take up a whole fucking lane. fuck driving it's a horrible chore. plus there's no where to go. nothing to do really outside of my home since I have all my media devices there and a home gym.
>working
I would literally fight another man to the death for a job. no one hires unless you are a level 99 wiz kid or 15 years experience. the average or hell even above average guy has no chance unless he knows somebody.
>dating
women are whores. it would be fun to have kinky sex with them, but again, they are whores. I ain't risking an STD just to do something that probably isn't fun outside my imagination. and even then, getting one is very hard if you aren't very good looking/charismatic.
>drinking
why? alcohol is a pointless/worthless drug. it's high is shit tier, it's easy to slip up on it and ruin your night, never tastes good no matter what, and just sucks in every way. I'd rather do a much safer drug that has a much better high: weed. too bad it's illegal so I have to deal with niggers, wiggers, and white trash to get a hook up and all those people are retarded scumbags who are either actively ripping you off or waiting to rip you off. not to mention not a single one operates at decent times. send them a message at 10am saturday to see if you can get some stuff. they message back at 11pm and tell you yea, come meet me in this empty parking lot so we can shake hands for 4 seconds and then both leave. totally does not look like a drug deal to any cops driving by. fuck just meeting in a bust parking lot in the middle of a busy saturday morning/afternoon. god I fucking hate all drug dealers why can't I just go to walmart and get stuff

>the negative phenomenon happening here is NOT technological advancement, it is the progressing obsolesence of man

These are two sides of the same coin.

/OURGUYS/?

You would not believe the amount of HORSESHIT you have to do to get a drivers license in some places now.
I'm 26, never bothered to get my license because I'm extremely regional so who cares lol. Started trying to get it two years ago just in case.

So, how did that go?
>Had to prove my identity 5 times over, birth certificate wasn't enough, had to get a passport and a bunch of other shit I never had which I also had to prove who I was for so I could prove who I was for the license. It took 6 fucking weeks.
>To get your basic Leaners you have to do a written thing and a computer thing, OK not so bad
>To get your provisional you have to log 25 hours of supervised driving then do a test which you get failed for the most stupid, banal shit
>Then you have to log another 25 hours of supervised driving and do ANOTHER test (did I mention that these tests which they fail you for with the dumbest excuses cost $80 each) and get failed a dozen times
>Have to log another 50 hours of supervised driving and deal with a bunch of other shit which I haven't even gotten to yet

I've been driving alone since I was 16 both in town and out with no problems, not even a scrape, yet I still failed about 8 tests, once for pulling up a few meters too far from where specifically the dickhead wanted even. And the best part? That supervised driving requires someone to sign off on it. I live alone with no rellos to supervise? So Guess what, driving lessons. $60 an hour for 100 hours.

It's literally easier to get Cat B Firearms licenses than a drivers license in this retarded country. I own a car and an 18 seater BUS and still haven't got my license.

TLDR government cash grabbing CUNTS and bureaucracy.

Pic related it's me fukken project.

The first two aren't really that great. I grew up doing both of those and I'm trying to get out of both, but It must have the same level of addiction as alcohol because I'll catch myself doing them only once I'm halfway through then feel compelled to finish.

>early 1990s
So Millenials are considered a generation that lasted for about 7 years, and thus were born to 7-year-olds.
The absolute state of business journalism...

all living things, by the virtue of them being born, consuming to grow and then dying, are entities that move with some intent and direction
humans, with their levels of conciousness, have been able to ease the process of moving through life and avoiding death by introducing technological advancements

at a certain point, our technology doesn't just aide us by making us more capable, it aides us by taking away the forces which motivate us to move forward, even if those motivating forces are negative

once we have no reason to move forward, because nothing signifigant threatens our exitence or our levels of comfort, what happens to us? what do we do and why the hell would we even keep doing it

there truly would be no point to life but to enjoy, and frankly I don't think thats going to be enough, and the distinct change in the attitude of gen z exhibits that in my mind

true but it doesn't do away with the danger I am mentioning to say that it is an inevitable side effect of the good stuff

how do we know all this when gen z'ers are 15 years old?

anyway,
>driving

first generation to push back against hippie culture because all of their parents ruined their lives

Driving is scary.

This. I live near a high school and all the white kids that walk home are always looking down, wearing dark clothing, look unkempt, etc.

kek

This.

>The highest socialized generation have highly socialized behavior.
Colour me sourprised.

Driving:
>Expensive
>Fucks up the planet
>No reason because walking/cycling/public transport

I don't know anyone my age who drives.

Alcohol:
>Not that great
>Turns people into dicks
>Fights, violence every night
>Expensive

Most people I know smoke weed, eat food and watch Netflix together or play games or something. Clubbing is long dead, pubs are depressing and full of older people playing with coasters.

Sex:

Who even cares about sex? I swear the older generations who always go on about this are stuck in the 80s or something where they had nothing in their lives but work, getting wasted and having sex. People are still having sex, we just don't need to go out and prove it. There are more entertaining things to do anyway.

Beautiful Ones.

Roundabouts would result in a retarded amount of accidents in the first couple years of instillation so we don't bother

Same reason why we don't convert to the metric system, Americans just refuse to take the initial hit for a better outcome

>driving
Everything I need is on campus, and I like walking and biking to get wherever I need to go. It's good exercise.

>drinking
I don't smoke or do drugs, so why would I drink? I'm happy enough sober, have other things to do in my free time, and booze is expensive regardless.

>sex
I'm a loser virgin that couldn't get sex if he tried, but considering how the current sexual dynamics between men and women are, I have no real incentive to attempt to change this. My hand and an hour every other day is far less of an investment.

Pretty much this.

Dude, i fought we were messed up. The matter is, if you drive licenseless here you get a HUGE fine and your car/Van/whatever gets taken away immediately Forever. What happens in Australia if you get caught driving whitout license?

I just want to spend time with my friends and have good times before the nukes fall and we have to rebuild society from the ashes
t. gen Z

>flag
>can't pass driving test
Slant-eye detected

Study is bullshit.

>Driving
I've been driving since 15, many of my other friends have as well, and about 40% of us knew how to drive before we can even start studying for our driving exams.
>Working
Been working ever since 13, anyone who doesn't work is a retard because you won't have any money to do anything in your free time.
>Dating
Dated my fair share of girls, but for the past 3 years it's all just hookups/random fucks with friends, fuck dating. The whore will just cheat on you.
>Drinking
You basically work from 13 years so you can keep up drinking habits, which later turn into clubbing ones. I can't imagine not clubbing for more than 1 week, going out with friends and buying a whole bunch of bottles of grey goose every friday is fun. And to anyone who says it's too expensive; I have to work 4 hours to buy one of those, an advantage when you start working at 13 so know many trades and can apply them basically anywhere, and also not being your typical western european trash.

The same but the nearest cop shop is 120km away and i drive half fucked old toyota land cruisers I buy at mine site auctions for

is gen z confirmed the robot generation

this tbqh, give it time

>Porn has replaced sex
What a load of fucking bullshit as porn is not as good as sex yet for the person who cannot shell at thousands of dollars for their porn habit (getting sex is alot cheaper then fucking buying a quality fleshlight and a VR headset that is not a joke).

>driving
It´s cheaper to use public transportation
>working
I do
>dating
Women are not impressed by my autistic personality
>drinking
I do occasionally, but I've been drinking less and less

I see the same phenomenon in pretty much all white kids that live around a black or brown majority.

How very Eastern European of you

alcohol is degenerate
it's always been degerate
but it's been a part of human culture since the beginning of fucking civilization
humans are degenerate, not even counting the alcohol, we have a natural pull toward hedonism that we require religion to help pull us away from these things.

I'm 32, i have what equates to about a 6-pack of beer in a whole year, I almost don't drink at all. I grew up in a family of drunken blue collar workers, alcohol ruined their marriage and had a hand in killing my mother.

If it could be done, I'd be for prohibition again. The big problem is that maybe half the people who do drink, can't handle it, that or they drink solely for the purpose of getting shitfaced.

It's a terrible vice and there isn't enough that I can say against it. I have a smidge of whiskey on mother's day to honor my mother, some champagne on christmas as a toast to those we lost and miss, and the only alcohol i don't find utterly repugnant is Redd's Apple Ale, which I have a few bottles in a whole year.

>At the same time, not all of Gen Z's traits are problems that need to be solved, she said, like the lower incidences of drinking and sex.

>"Let's have those go to zero," Twenge said. >"That would be just fine."\

Is she saying it would be good for kids to not drink or have sex at all?

>driving
AI will do it.
>working
In case you haven't realized, there aren't exactly jobs for everyone, let alone highschoolers.
>"""dating"""
It's degenerate.
>drinking
It's a waste of money.

>40-year study

I thought gen Z is under 20?

>AI will do it
Well that's a bad attitude.

no, because they are fucking stupid

However, one of the most disturbing characteristics of Generation Z, or "iGen" in Twenge's parlance, is a suicide rate that has surpassed the homicide rate in that age group.

There are roundabouts in every major city I've ever been to

Because boomers and Gen X fucked it all up.
Gen Y and Z are the generations of scaling back due to the abuses of our parents.

>Ethnic children are less degenerate than whites
I thought it was just a muslim thing

This is what I don't understand: if you are going to quit, at least take someone along with you!

Something about this level of degeneracy is just downright disturbing.
A VR headset and a fleshlight.
I'm an atheist and yet this strikes me as fucking sinful.

Self-driving cars are coming. There's no reason to learn how to drive now.

Except for, you know, not being an invalid that needs a fucking computer to live your life for you? Does your mother still buy your underwear?

The homebrew scene where I live has exploded because of booze prices. It's honestly really easy.

I'm looking into making biodiesel now too. I've got the space.

>young people indulge in degenercy and consumerism
>Sup Forums bitches
>young people don't indulge in degeneracy and consumerism
>Sup Forums bitches again
Damn, I wonder who could want people to be irresponsible fat cager jewlywood slobs and suburban consumer drones. Could it be... the nose?

>needing money to do stuff
>constantly drinking
>feels the need to boasts about retarded shit on the interwebs
Found the gopnik brainlet.

I understand that but it's not a good thing that people become more dependent and less competent.

Because generation Z are even bigger pussies than millennials.

Also they're losers who can't get a driver's license or can't afford a car. Sad.

>Fucks up the planet
faggot

>Who even cares about sex? I swear the older generations who always go on about this are stuck in the 80s or something where they had nothing in their lives but work, getting wasted and having sex
SO much gay, and what the fuck else is the point of life if you are not trying to take over the world

>There are more entertaining things to do anyway.
but your faggotass is here.....

I'm driving. I drink occasionally with mates but i have never been drunk. I will never try drugs despite all the times i have been offered. I am a virgin but i could get sex at any time; however i'm not interested in meaningless one night stands and vapid sluts, and the few times i've had a sexual experience i made sure to stop short of penetration.

As far as I'm concerned i'm alright.

Because they had to study previous generations too you retarded chimp.

I feel your pain, Bruce. In order to get a learner's permit in leafland, you have to take the written test, then wait one full year before you can even take the G2 test. Of course you fail the G2 test if you so much as have your seatbelt folded incorrectly so most people have to do the test at least twice. After you obtain your G2, you have to wait ANOTHER fucking year to qualify for a full driver's license.

I feel like all these safeguards are in place for the lowest common denominator to safely operate a motor vehicle. If you have an IQ above 90 then you don't need such extensive testing in order to drive properly.

>I'm a virgin but I could get sex any time

This is what all my virgin buddies use to say, but that excuse seems less and less true as the years go by.

>tfw when i work 30 hours a week, dont own a car, and don't drink
I feel pretty patrician honestly.

My generation is already dying and I'm only contributing to that.

>inb4 underage

get back to r9k

i bet you have 2 fedoras, a solid black and a plaid one

I got a DWI and I don't want to go to substance abuse counseling so I'll probably never drive again.

Are you being ironic?

No, it's revenue raising. They make it harder to obey the law than it is to deal with the legal ramifications of disobeying it so they can pick your pocket at every fucking opportunity.

Cultural Marxism.

It's created generations of pacified sissies.

>patrician
It is. Not consuming (opiates) and being transportationally self-sufficient is basically killing the jew and big oil muslim-enablers softly.

Fuck off gen z, no they don't that's just a waste of my tax dollars.

I'm 24 and already avoid all those things. It's all money I don't have.

I wouldn't know. Either way, there's several reasons why what i said is true, not the least of which is that thr majority of women in my town are confirmed sluts with low standards.

Thank you nord bro.

Because the internet? These faggots wouldnt even get out of bed if they didnt need money. They would just lay there consuming shitty kiddie youtube videos, porn, vines, camgirls, video games, and tv shows nonstop. The internet coulda been great, now it's just a spy machine and drug dispenser for poor people. Even worse are the minority parents who dont know shit about the internet but let their kids run rampant on it.

/thread

96 reporting in, hold your fucking horses niggers I'm 21.

I don't drive because I have nowhere to drive. I don't work because shitskins have flooded the job market and finding employment is literally impossible; no place ia hiring, I spent months upon months handing out my CV with no luck.

I have been dating but all girls are the same, thanks social media.

The only thing I do is pulling my ass to university and drink.

>driving

good one. a car is not effective anymore when the road is fucking full of cars

Because it's a generation of betas.

no
kys if you really care about the planet

t. replacable truck driver

Fuck roundabouts. What a miserable way to drive.

God bless America

what purpose would roundabouts serve

That's why they replace you.

>all the white kids that walk home are always looking down, wearing dark clothing, look unkempt, etc.
So they're normal teenagers then?

>driving
used public transportation for 7 years after I got my driving licence. It is simply way cheaper and on some cases, faster than using a car. Eventually my parents got mad for my lack of passion for driving and got me a 2nd hand car lol
>working
I dont like the idea of havin only 3 hours a day for myself but I dont see how one can survive without working. That being said, I am training for a real nice job atm
>dating
woman are stupid here. Even on tinder you have to take them out multiple times and pay for the bills before they take a decision whether they want to fuck you or not. Got lucky with a girl with common sense though
>drinking
its cool but a single night of drinking just destroys body and it is an expensive thing here

youre god damn right
ill be waiting here while you and the beta boys start tearing up all those chinese rail lines and coal-fire plants

92 here.
>car
We have free public transit with stop literally every couple hundred meters. The only reason to have a car is to travel long-distance, or impress girls. I guess families with children would also need them.
>alcohol
Shit is expensive and fucks with my gains. If there is a celebration, why not? Otherwise I have better things to spend my money on.
>work
Getting decent job is fucking hard. I had to move to another town, and before that I had to spend a lot of money and time travelling to interviews. I'm scum with B. Eng though, maybe medicine guys or Masters have easier time.
>dating
Ok, here I admit my turboautism is at fault. I have zero dating game and don't know how to start.

ROUNDABOUTS? SERIOUSLY? you're retarded

>92
you aren't gen z

>I have zero dating game
The game is called height, face, frame.
