As a Gen-Zer, I’m agreeing with Millenial Zach, it’s so stupid.

I'm part of gen z and I agree with the millennial, Tik Tok is so pointless.

"See, you have 10 million followers." " . . . I hate the world" "Where are you going?" "To cry in my new Lambo!" That entire ending exchange was both flawless and painful

As a (late) millenial who grew up when youtube and facebook were cool but never really got into the more recent platforms like tiktok or snapchat I can relate. I'm starting to understand old people.

As a gen Z i am proud to be a member of team KZfaq and a massive opponent of tiktok

As someone born in 2005. I stand with my millennial friends on this. Tiktok can go and throw itself in the trash.

as someone born as late as 2005 i can totally relate uncut gaming videos are way superior to tiktok

"I want to understand on a sub-molecular level; from the electrons that flow through the transistors in this phone, to the photons that travel across the cables on the bottom of the ocean, to the femto-atoms that make up the matter that is us, and the neurons that fire in the brains of the "people" that find this stuff interesting, WHY IN THE CHICKEN F*%& IS THIS PERSON FAMOUS" ~Zach Star 2022 On the topic of Gen Z entertainment content Awesome quote

"To cry in my new Lambo." I lost my shit. How does this guy not have more subs. His videos are always on point like this one. This video is perfect.

I'm gen Z and I also find it unfair that we live in the universe where tik-tokers can't see how cringe is their content.

I'm 32 and dear god I've never seen a more accurate representation of myself in quite awhile honestly. Crazy how people want us to believe that TikTok is some great thing when it's just a copy of Vine but without the actually funny people and with way more of the cringe factor.

The biggest difference between the Millennial defending it to the boomer & The Gen Z explaining it to the millennial is most if not all Gen Z acknowledge it's dumb and doesn't make sense

I don’t think tik tok is a generational difference, it’s more just users vs non-users.

I was born in 2007 and I am completely on the millennials side.

Year 2004, i am happy i grew up with youtube and honored to have been there especially in 2017 with the vlogging and diss tracks. This tiktok shit is the worst thing i've ever seen

As someone born in 2004 I deeply hate tiktok from the bottom of my heart.

Gotta apreciate how the lenght of the video is 4:20 Also I'm 19 and Millenial Zack just resonates with my soul

I can relate to this deeply in my soul but the explanation is simple: It's because Tiktok is primarily designed for children and teens. Exactly like ringtone rap and that stupid fucking "Crazy Frog" going "ring bading ding ding" over famous songs for when us millennials were children/teens. It's all about short, compact stuff you can show your friends during a 5 min break at school. Yes, good short form content does exist but that really isn't the primary purpose of it all. It just makes people feel older than they are because a whole lot of marketing stuff is driven by kids and teens. You just didn't notice when you were a kid because you "discovered" it and it totally wasn't blasted into your face in TV ads, early online ads and huge internet forums that were the big social media platforms back then.

Here's the thing: gaming is a culture. A massive one with many many subdivisions, generations, and variations. Bobbing your head, whipping your hair, and shaking your a** is not a culture and it does not deserve to be one.

I've thought about this and it makes me feel like a boomer but at the same time there is nothing productive about TikTok, unlike KZfaq

The main point about gaming channels (for me) was all of the jokes and funny events happening, not that much about the game itself, gaming is not something that everyone could dedicate time to, so gaming allowed people to have similar in some cases even more enjoyment without having to play the actual game

"Meanwhile, you were born in the 1900s" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me as "technically" Gen Z (I'm 23) with the soul of the Millenial: *Unironically agrees with the Millenial*

I don’t get why people watch certain types of TikToks. The ones that are like vines are chill.

I'm from the 90's, and I don't really get most of popular youtube or tiktok. I just sit in my niche little corners of the internet most of the time, but I know how weird those can be to outside observers (I have spent days of my life counting numbers with strangers online). I think I have always related with both sides of this supposed "generational" interaction. Though, I have never thought of it as being an age difference, but a difference of taste and experiences (basically just another classic nature+nurture thing).

YES. Tiktok "trends" are so mindnumbingly stupid it makes me lose faith for the future generations. Lets Players you have to actually be funny and creative and it actually takes effort to do. And Millennial Zach is right, even if the prank videos are fake they're still entertaining

honestly I am with the Boomer... I never watched people play games unless I wanted to see the gameplay before buying a game myself. But TikTok makes me think that maybe we should just stop. I mean humanity had a good run but maybe its time to stop and to go back to monke...

I'm 18 and Millennial Zach is on point

Tiktok capitalizes on beauty or physical attractiveness, less on personality or skills. Well, there's humour and educational content here and there but the most famous ones got away with just looks(which isn't outright bad because if you've been lucky with those genes, why not). At the very least, props for them for maintaining their figures and keeping up with their beauty routines.

Me arguing with my mom when I trying to mind my own business

I wholeheartedly agree. I’m absolutely in the target audience for TikTok and short form media in general, and I still hate it with my entire existence.

I am on KZfaq since the start and never felt so accurate represented by someone. U got a like there Buddy

If TikTok is dancing for you then that means you've been liking those videos. I have not seen a dancing TikTok in about a year. It's mostly Steve Irwin's son talking about animals, and spooky videos with really good editing.

I mean then there is the older side of Gen Z, we really couldn't give a shit about random dances but we are into shitposting and still have experienced a lot of stuff millennials have and millennials, you really aren't crazy for thinking TikTok doesn't make sense, so do we.

I SWEAR TO GOD I HATE HOW TRUE THIS IS.

To be fair, being entertained by watching someone else play a video game isn’t much different from Boomer being entertained by watching sports. Both millennials and boomers are watching a game instead of playing it themselves. The game is just different.

"You were born in the 1900's" LMFAO ITS TRUE BUT I CANT. Also as a GenZ person I don't get TikTok too. At least you gotta be charismatic/smart for gaming videos.

"I'm going to cry in my new lambo" Surprisingly understandable and relatable givin the new circumstances 🤔

I’m 14 and ima have to agree with the millennial

I like "to cry in my new lambo" part

Okay I think we should split Gen Z into two. Hear me out- there’s the one portion that grew up with normal things like Minecraft, the family computer, the outdoors, the Xbox 360, OG KZfaq, and all that good stuff. Then you’ve got the portion that grew up with...other stuff (you know what I mean). And so now we’re completely different! Please tel me I’m not the only one who noticea

I'm from the Silent Generation 🙋🏼‍♀️ and I understand both KZfaq and TikTok 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's no different to television. Edit, I hate the repetitive nature of TikTok videos. I do wish people on TikTok would be more original 🤷🏼‍♀️

Gen Z here. KZfaq is the only "social media" that I have, and I despise tik tok and these other weird sites.

Lol the 15-second sex tape joke came out of nowhere But seriously though, those type of popular dance TikToks objectively take orders of magnitude less effort, time, creativity, and novelty to make and be successful at.

Funny enough, I'm gen z (born 2002) but my parents aren't millennials, they're gen x (between boomers and millennials) who are constantly on Facebook and Tik Tok. They're on their phones more than I am...

I can't like this enough. Was theraputic to hear him wondeully bash the trendy side of tiktok through the ground

Nice to know Zach also went through the Britney Spears and backstreet boys phase 🤣

4:01 Huge Bruh moment

Nice video Zach and really nice to see you in real life @ Rome! Best wishes!

It's easy to explain KZfaq to parents. Basically everyone can start their own TV show and the popular ones get money from the commercials they run. Also, to understand how video game playthroughs are popular just think of it as football or baseball. Most of us know we'll never put in the time or effort to be as good as them but we watch to see the game played to it's full potential. As for Gen Z to Millennial I don't know what's going on there. I think we just didn't give Gen Z enough attention growing up.

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

This is beyond awesome. Definitely deserves to be shown in some sort of class💯

“Do you get paid to watch?” 😂😂 as a millennial, I’ve never related to anything more

I agree with how ridiculous it is. I am Gen Z (though, still born in the 90s), and I hate Tik Tok. I think it is stupid and makes no sense.

What a great Zach Star Himself video!

This is incredibly well done my friend. Salutations

Back in my day we had to do Let's Play threads using screenshots.

Hell, even a 6 second vine took more effort to make than a 15 to 20 second Tik Tok

Thank you from the bottom to the top of my heart Zach because after watching this I got off of my phone and worked on my essay lol

Bro you SNAPPED, this video is gold

born in 1995 starting to really feel my own mortality

To be fair tho, I have multi-hour long video game vids playing on my 3th monitor while I'm playing two different games on my two other monitors. I'm never actually only watching this stuff. But having 30 second clips of random nothings on my 3nd monitor would be pretty annoying tbh. Boomers and zoomers both don't get it.

I love your facial expressions and vocabulary. Great video!

This was so hilarious and perfect, lol. Amazing.

As a Gen Z, it sucks to watch all these really intelligent people around me get addicted to TikTok and Instagram and such, and wanting to replicate what influencers on social media do rather than apply their own intelligence to something more useful.

I think people just have shorter attention span I don’t use Tiktok but I love watching KZfaq shorts sometimes so I kind of get how addicting it, especially those short skits that are quite entertaining.

Yeah, Zach. That's why we are here

The classics I listen to, are the classics that my parents listened to, those are Classics, and always will be.

Lmao children here saying they're "opponents of tiktok" and "fighters in the great crusade for the liberation of the internet from the dancing menace" (ok maybe not the 2nd one verbatim but you get my point), I admit that almost everything on tiktok isn't good at all but that is a little pathetic

2090: Someone gets 11 million followers for standing up from their couch.

I relate to this so deeply it hurts my soul

Where are you going "to cry in my new Lambo" That's pretty funny dude 😂

nice 4:20 duration

I’m a millennial and I kind of like tiktok. Sure, people doing the same memey dances to whatever’s on the top 40 is boring, but there’s a lot of fun sketch comedy, original music or dance composition as well as the audiovideo equivalent to meme templates. Plus just general relatable content.

😂🤣🤣🤣 the accuracy!! I’m glad someone who actually uses and knows about video making feels the same way!

*Time is like a flat circle.*

As a gen -z member without Tik-tok, I staunchly agree with the melenial. Tiktok is just rewarded narcissism Edit: dam I did not think this comment would start a war in the replies. People get more emotional over sarcasm then I expected.

New upload let’s go

Can't wait for the explanation in history books down the line

this is when people have to start saying the "back in my day" phrase unironically and hate themselves for being old

As someone born in 2006, tiktok is so increadably stupid, yet youtube has devolved so much in the past 3 years.

it's just a simple fact of the matter that in the age of the internet, effort does not perfectly equal success. when the main form of content was television and movies, you had to spend a *lot* of money, and the actors have to put a lot of work into their acting careers. That's what "boomers" associate with becoming famous from your content. To them, being able to become rich and famous off just sitting in your home, and recording videos is something completely unreal, and it's seems like so much less effort than what they're used to in terms of content that they can't wrap their head around it. Tiktok is just the next generation, "millenials" are used to youtube videos, that at the very least, you'll have to sit down for at least a an hour or two recording and editing, possibly much more depending on the length of the video. The idea that you can become famous with recording 1 minute clips with your phone is just as hard to wrap your head around as it was for the previous generation. It doesn't matter how many hours, minutes, or seconds it took to make the content. that's just how the internet works, and one of the few places that does work like that, so we just have to accept it.

Man, this rings so true

I am happy that this is an option for people. What happened to the intriguing and creative songs, and dances? They still exist, but they’re in the niche bands now.

I’m 14, and millennial Zach is right

I hate what it has become... but it is true that you are a lot more likely to grow an audience on tik-tok

KZfaq: originality, actual hard work Tik tok: same stuff that anyone can do, takes a single minute

nice length of the video

that sex tape joke tho

I wonder why, in the comment section of a KZfaq video, everyone agrees with the millenial. But serios, I'm also totally pro-YT, but there is also some funny (sometimes even intelligent) stuff going on on TikTok (not the lip sync and dancing shit, of course). I don't have the app, but I enjoy watching KZfaqrs react on TikToks.

I relate with this seamlessly

Usually my favorite vids of Zach are the God videos but that dance! Lol

I was today years old when I finally looked the age range of Gen Z and realized I'm a part of it. I just always saw posts about Millenials bashing Gen Zers that I thought "lol they're so cringe. I don't do that. I'm probably a millenial" I'm so ashamed

I've never defended Twitch just like I've never defended Tik Tok. Both take no effort and you make money just sitting there doing nothing. At least on KZfaq you can find people doing something half decent with their time, bringing you entertainment in the process. You just have to sift through all the reaction channels.

im crying some of that was word for word what my mother has said about music and social media 😂

I have the exact same phone holder for my tripod as you do

Even though I'm born in 2002, I fully agree with the millenial. Tiktok destroyed this generation imo.

As someone who is half millennial and gen-z, I would have to go with pure millennials at this point. Glad I'm not into this gen-z crap.

The only TikToks I watch are the ones in KZfaq compilation videos, like cosplay or D&D or funny animal ones. I've never gone on the actual app, I already get sucked into KZfaq stuff as it is. 🤣 Also, great video! My boyfriend found the last bit hilarious. XD Said it wrapped it up nicely.
