“Gen Z Is the Funniest, Most Unserious, Yet Terrifying Generation Ever – and I'm One of Them”
<p><br/></p><p>Sometimes I sit back, scroll through my phone, and just watch the madness unfold. One second someone is crying about heartbreak, the next second they’re lip-syncing to a TikTok sound about healing through capitalism. And I’m like… is this real life?</p><p>Let’s be honest — Gen Z is the most unserious generation to ever exist. We’ll make memes out of anything. A global disaster? Boom, meme. Mental breakdown? Put a filter on it. Someone just got dumped? “Don’t worry babe, your villain era starts now.” Like what??? 💀</p><p>And the thing is — we’re self-aware about it. That’s what makes it even scarier. We know we’re unserious, and we lean into it HARD. We joke about things other generations needed therapy for. We're turning pain into punchlines, and then laughing so hard we forget what the original problem was.</p><p>But here’s the twist — beneath the unseriousness, Gen Z is also deeply aware, emotionally intense, and exhausted. We're funny, but we’re also scared. Scared of the future, scared of not being enough, scared of this weird broken world we inherited. But instead of screaming, we laugh. Or we scream-laugh. Or we post a TikTok while crying in a neon hoodie.</p><p>It’s giving chaotic philosopher, honestly. Like Socrates, but with a ring light.</p><p>Sometimes I look at us and I’m like, "Wow. We’re either gonna change the world or burn it down in a glittery explosion of ‘idgaf’ energy." Either way, it’s gonna be iconic.</p><p>But yeah… Gen Z? We’re wild. Funny. Weird. Deeply unserious. And also? Lowkey terrifying. Because if this is what the future looks like — I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or post a meme about it.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
