Millennials use the Internet but they don't get it like Gen-Z does. Most of my peers seem to have a much better understanding of online culture than most millennials do. They use much more irony in both online and irl conversations.
One thing I noticed was that millennials have weebs, but Gen-Z doesn't. It's not something special for Zoomers to watch anime or be interested in Japanese media/culture. Almost all of my peers watch anime or consume some other Japanese media frequently. My parents didn't watch anime until my sister got them to.
Gen-Z is more individualist in less of a "the only person that matters is me" sort of way and more of a "you can't count on anyone, especially the government to help you" sort of way. You can see this through Gen-Zs political engagement. Most of my peers are differently engaged that millennials. Most people my age don't affiliate with a specific party, but rather by an ideology.
Also, Gen-Z is much more depressed
Your parents sound more like gen x to me, but there are blurred lines between all the generations.
Your comments about tech understanding is almost completely opposite to most other comments, which is my main reason for thinking that. But I know plenty of millennials that are shit with tech too.
My experience in IT is that most of gen z doesn't care about understanding anything on the Internet outside of social media, and they do excel at social media compared to others but I see fewer and fewer young people interested in how any of it works. They seem to be completely content with consuming media but even most of the big game streamers are millennials it seems like. Gen z seems completely ok with walled gardens and black box services as long as they 'work' .

Yea, I've found this frustrating as the "tech guy"
classmate has a problem
"It's impossible, I don't know how to fix it"
I Fix it with simply restarting the program.

Every generation is like this. Typically, the media of a generation is made by older generations. Much of Boomers music was made by the silent generation. Most of the Millennial pop culture was made by Gen-X and Boomers. I would argue that millennials and gen-z are set apart by how to prevent their own generation is in their own pop culture.
I'm Gen-Z, my parents are older Millennials
