I looked through various examples of it and I still don’t understand. You just blankly stare at someone? Is that what it is?

    Hey the Gen Z stare is a real thing. But people have it ass backwards. The expression itself isn’t new at all. It’s the same expression as “I’m too old for this shit.” Just a completely impassive face like you stopped giving a shit.

    Wanna know why older generations have started to notice? Because when they try to get Gen Z or younger to respect them (by being loud or rude or whatever) young people collectively just do not give a fuck. And why should they?

    I’m an elementary teacher. If a kid gives me this stare I know I have to change what I’m doing because I’m in the wrong most likely.

      It’s not the Gen z stare at all, it’s the teenage apathy stare.

      I know we were always in shit for it as well and I’m in my 40’s now
