First, GenZ haven't been "kids" for quite some time now, granpa lol. Its Gen Alpha, and even then they're getting older as well.

Second, GenZ and subsequent ones are completely disassosiated from the commercial world. A huge chunk of them don't like "commercial perfect", pre-baked vibes. That shows with everything: the garbagy/shitposty anti-mainstream meme culture, the "ugly" haircuts, minimally branded clothing (only area where this doesn't apply much is in music, since its kinda the other way around with how "mainstreamy" most music has become).
