Maybe? When it comes to something as amorphous as people online saying, "the barista looks at me funny when I order Starbucks," there's no way to know whether it's a widespread, troubling trait in a broad demographic, or just meme-y way for older people to bag on those damn kids. So until further research is conducted, I'll say this: It's probably a small behavioral shift that's been blown way out of proportion by generational anxiety. Kind of like Millennials killing casual dining (and 100 other things), vocal fry, Jenkem, rainbow parties, switchblades, and the "overly jaunty" rhythm of Bing Crosby's "Deep in the Heart of Texas." (To be fair, that shit is fucking jaunty.)
If the Gen Z stare is real, what causes it?
If Gen Z really is more prone to blank stares, what's behind it? It depends on who you ask. Forbes rounded up some opinions from "generational experts," so take your pick:
Joe Galvin, chief research officer at Vistage, "The World’s Largest CEO Coaching & Peer Advisory Organization" ascribes the Gen Z stare to "a growing generational disconnect in employee communication and expectations."
No offense to these experts (I'm sure they're fantastic) but if a researcher at a coaching organization, a director of a "Purpose and Flourishing" initiative, and a consultant trying to "realize meaningful business values through a human-centric approach to business problems" tried to explain my generation to me, I'd respond with a blank stare too. A stare requires someone is stared at, and maybe they're the problem.
The delicate dance between stare-er and stare-ee
"We stare when you don’t understand common sense," explains Caleb Worley, who posted this video to explore the stare-ers point of view:
Or maybe it’s just a face. Either way, it's not worth freaking out about; I mean, you should see how they look at you behind your back.
