    Well, Gen Z here in the states probably can’t afford to go see doctors.

    The younger you are, the less likely it is that you are facing a serious medical issue. It’s a lot easier to ignore your doctor when discussing long term health in an abstract way, rather than discussing how to avoid making an existing problem worse.

    Also, I suspect there is at least some survivorship bias here. If following medical advice improves long term survival, one would expect to see more medical advice followers in the older population. You can’t poll dead people.

    What the fuck, those are Gen Z? I thought they were millennial. The terms really don’t mean anything anymore.

        I am 29, and I don’t know how to self-identify. I hate both Millenials and Gen Z, just for different reasons.

        Early Gen Z would be the most rational I guess.

        Edit: Zillenial it is

          You could use that to your advantage and identify with one or the other depending on the situation :D IMHO this generation taxonomy just promotes “us vs them” mentality which is mostly used negatively and divides people.
