Gen Z-ers

As a younger gen z I was quite shocked with the realization that some gen z-ers are already nearing 30. It's weird to me because I hear headlines saying things like 'what the young people notice' (young people being gen z) and about gen z ideologies, values, movements and I think 'ok.. Ig this is my generation' thinking the people referenced in those are of a similar age range to me, but then realize that some gen z's are already in their 20s, some nearing 30s.

The older gen z's have been adults for a few years and already been establishing their worldview, voice and outlook on life, that it made me feel like gen z and the era of gen z is already defined, and that we're now anticipating the next generation, gen alpha, and what they'll be like. But I've realized, I'm of the younger demographic of gen z, and I haven't gotten my claws into the world yet, try to bring my own influence, feul the things I find value in, have the world bare witness to what I want to say or implement how I would act on things I care for.

I thought gen Z is already defined, but then realized the world has yet to have the younger gen z's take front stage. And I, as a younger gen z, want to be of influence not by posturing myself as more socially aware, demeaning people or things to signal I'm morally/socially superior, or to part take in a form moral outrage for social reward, but to instead have the world bare witness to how I choose to carry myself.

Anyway those are my thoughts after growing up with all this 'Gen-Z' noise and now on the cusp of taking on the world.
