Gen Z started college in 2014. The SJW outrage got a lot worse in 2014. Gen Z has always had the internet. Gen Z grew up playing games on their parents iPhones because their parents didn't want to teach them patience. They have always had screens and got their first phone by age 10. Gen Z will be worse.

According to this article, Gen Z is going to the prom this year. And they are going to less expensive colleges to avoid the burden of debt.

I can say that my son and his buddies just graduated high school and they are very conservative.

Gen Z started in 1996. The difference is they don't remember a pre 9/11 world and they've always had screens.

You really linked a story about prom attire?

High school graduates generally feel the same as their parents politically. Once they get to college they begin to learn about other perspectives.

They really have more of an understanding of politics than I had at 18 and I graduated with Reagan. Very conservative group of kids.

Not according to Wiki, the dates are somewhat fluid. And did you read the actual article?

Meh. I understand that. They just seem to have more of a grasp of their political surroundings.

Possibly because they are being affected by some of the dumbass policies out there and the fact that the foundations of this country are being turned upside down for no good reason.

Perhaps your reading comprehension is sorely lacking?
Posted on 5/28/17 at 7:38 pm to ST.TAMMANYTIGER
Graduating right after an election cycle will do that. The kids in 2 years won't have the same understanding.

High school students attending proms across the country are doing so in ways that may come as a shock to many, as they indicate that the generation, known as Generation Z, might be more traditional than the millennials who came before. Those signs, as revealed in Yahoo Style’s exclusive ‘Prom Across America’ survey on the American high school prom experience, included the following: teens indicating that they’ll wear dresses that don’t show much skin, that they’ll go to the dance with true dates rather than friends, and that they harbor reluctance when it comes to accepting transgender prom kings and queens. “We’re calling them ‘the throwback generation,’” Jason Dorsey, of the market research firm Center for Generational Kinetics, tells Yahoo Beauty. Dorsey’s company recently conducted its own study of Gen Z, and found its collective behavior to be “completely unexpected,” and in direct response to that of their predecessors. “They’re really pushing back from what millennials were about, and definitely want to see themselves differently,” he says.

Gen Z will be seniors in college this fall

Did you miss this part?
Among the results that point to Gen Z being more traditional than millennials:
Among teens heading to their proms, 70 percent are going with a date; that’s compared with 61 percent of adults who are 18 and over.
The rate of teens “going to the prom with friends” is just 9 percent — which is lower than it was, at 13 percent, for adults 18 over.
Regarding dress styles for girls, high necklines are proving popular with teens — 27 percent of whom opted for them — while just 20 percent of adults 18 and over chose high necklines.
Of the Gen Z teens, only 35 percent say they support a gender non-binary prom court or a transgender prom king or queen. That number jumps to 42 percent for millennial adults age 18 to 34.
