Heute den "Gen Z Stare" zum ersten Mal live erlebt.

Habe einer Gruppe junger Mountainbiker Guten Tag gesagt. Die waren mit der Situation komplett überfordert und sahen aus wie eine verwirrte Horde Hundewelpen. Grosse Augen, Mund offen, nervös von einem Fuss auf den anderen tapsend.

Irgendwie niedlich. Wahrscheinlich haben sie sich verfahren. Aber sagen ja nix. Starren nur.

Hätte ich Leckerlis mit gehabt, ich hätte denen welche zugeworfen, um sie zu beruhigen.

#GenZStare 😐 Er det her, hvor vores emojis bliver til virkelighed? Er Gen Z's "dræberstirren" 😐-ansigtet?

Årtier med digital kommunikation materialiserer sig pludselig i kroppen.

Måske ser vi den første generation, der fysisk efterligner deres onlinesprog?

Debatten raser, men hvad nu hvis det tomme blik bare er 😶 emoji'en i kød og blod?

Et tomt dræberblik trækker overskrifter i amerikanske medier

Er det tegn på manglende social øvelse, eller er det et svar på ældres dumhed, når unge sender et blankt blik i stedet for et svar? Debatten mellem generationer er eksploderet online.

The #GenZStare isn’t just a TikTok trend. It’s raising real questions about soft skills, social anxiety, and how AI and the pandemic have reshaped workplace norms.
But is it poor etiquette, or just the face of a generation quietly processing nonsense?

'Gen Z Stare' ignites debate about workplace communication skills

What is the "Gen Z Stare?" Older TikTok users say that Gen Z workers often give blank, unresponsive stares. Gen Zers are pushing back.

I'm hoping #genzstare is just (?) more big $$ influencer hype for July 2025... :(
Let's all treat one another in a Fred Rogers manner.

The "Gen Z Stare" Phenomenon Is Taking Over Social Media And It's Very, Very Real

I'm so happy it finally has a name. Let's talk "Gen Z Stare." The "Gen Z stare" is essentially the blank, vacant look that members of Gen Z often give when they're being asked a question. You've definitely seen it before, and it looks something like this: Or this: People in the comments of the TikTok …

Tik Tok is having a discussion of the "Gen Z Stare" and as a teacher I can totally confirm that it exists.

Step 1: Ask them a question.
Step 2: They stare at you blankly.
Step 3: You wait 5, 10, sometimes 15 seconds for them to respond—then ask ask a follow-up or provide clarification.
Step 4 (optional): They say something rude to deflect.
Step 5: You no longer want to help them.

(I'm also not surprised that Gen Z doesn't comprehend what the Gen Z stare is...)
