People are angry at Gen Z taking photos of airport trays. Here’s what’s really going on

No sooner have airports introduced new scanning machines so you don’t need to unpack your carry-on bags, than a trend emerges where you photograph all your loose items in your airport security tray.

The “airport tray aesthetic” has taken off on TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest as people share artfully arranged shots of their sunglasses, shoes, toiletries and reading material inside the regulation polypropylene dishes.

Don’t expect crumpled plastic bags stuffed with toothpaste and Pepto-Bismol. This is aspirational travel, where your 35mm film camera nestles between your vintage loafers and your first-edition copy of “On the Road.”

Apparently, ankle socks are the new sign that you're old, and millennials are done

And on TikTok, users of a certain age have posted videos expressing their frustration and confusion over the banning of their beloved socks.

"We've gone too far," writes one women in a video where she tries to wear pink crew socks with yellow crocs.

Another joked in a video with 1.4 million views that she saved on Botox by "just buying the damn socks." And in a comment on the same video, someone else joked that they wore crew socks to the gym instead of ankle socks "and the receptionist called me miss instead of ma'am."

Rechtspopulistisch motiviertes Gemecker ist nicht nur eine Ausdrucksform der Alten, zeigt die neue Jugendstudie. Die Zustimmung der Gen Z zur AfD ist gewachsen.#Jugendstudie #GenerationZ #GENZ #AFD #Rechtspopulismus

Interesting, long read about #GenZ, #smartPhones and adolescent #MentalHealth.

"They spent far less time playing with, talking to, touching, or even making eye contact with their friends and families, thereby reducing their participation in social behaviour that is essential for successful human #development.

"The members of gen Z are, therefore, the test subjects for a radical new way of growing up, far from the real‐world interactions of small communities in which humans evolved. Call it the Great #Rewiring of Childhood. It’s as if they became the first generation to grow up on Mars. And it has turned them into the #Anxious #Generation.

"There was little sign of an impending mental illness crisis among adolescents in the 2000s. Then, quite suddenly, in the early 2010s, things changed. In just five years between 2010 and 2015, across the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and beyond, the number of young people with anxiety, #depression and even suicidal tendencies started to rise sharply... The increases were similar for both sexes and happened across all races and social classes. And among a variety of mental health diagnoses, #anxiety rates rose diagnoses, anxiety rates rose the most."
