Gen Alpha is poised to be a huge economic force (stock image).
  • Gen Zers are mocking Gen Alpha tweens, saying they are stunted when it comes to socializing.
  • They have coined the term "blue light stare" to describe their reliance on screens. 
  • Experts say these trends reflect deeper issues from the pandemic affecting young generations.

Intergenerational teasing seems inevitable. Baby boomers labeled Gen Zers as lazy. Millennials think Gen Xers are lame. And everybody seems to hate millennials.
