Why older generations criticize Zoomers – the main problems of the generation named

The article examines the causes of intergenerational conflict, focusing on the criticism of Zoomers by older generations. Expert Zaida Slabbekorn notes that young people traditionally reject their parents' values, but today face unprecedented challenges: digital addiction, economic difficulties, loneliness. Older generations see weakness in Zoomers' behavior, while young people themselves perceive their habits as adaptation to difficult conditions.

The article on Cursor Info, citing YourTango, analyzes the intergenerational conflict, focusing on the criticism of Generation Z (Zoomers) by older generations. Social relations expert Zaida Slabbekorn notes that young people traditionally strive to reject their parents' values, but today's Zoomers face challenges on a scale not experienced by previous generations. The main complaints of older generations: excessive use of smartphones, affecting sleep and concentration, and dependence on digital conveniences, perceived as an obstacle to developing independence. Millennials, on the contrary, see in the rejection of traditional scenarios a desire of young people to choose their own path. Zoomers themselves acknowledge the negative impact of the digital environment and try to spend less time on social networks. In addition to digital addiction, Generation Z faces economic difficulties, loneliness, and problems with social connections. The article concludes that the generational conflict is more complex than a dispute about smartphones: older generations see weakness, while young people see an attempt to cope with difficult conditions.
