Google posted the top five “is it rude” questions we’ve been googling. And one of them has to do with another trending search: “Gen Z stare” videos are all over TikTok right now.
The claim is Gen Z’ers are so bad at real-life interactions, they can’t even make small talk. You ask a simple question or say hi, and it’s deer in headlights. (???) (Here’s one video that’s going viral.)
