Gen Z stare
The Gen Z stare is a generally pejorative phrase coined by social media users to describe a "blank stare that members of younger generations such as Generation Z give in situations where a verbal response would be more common". It most commonly occurs in customer service interactions in response to ostensibly simple questions about products, services, or signage in the establishment. Reflecting a generation gap, instead of responding to the customer, the Gen Z cohort members have been described as "dumbfounded or disinterested" in these questions. Kalhan Rosenblatt of NBC News says, "[w]hile there are several definitions for the stare, the most common meaning is a vacant expression a Gen Zer gives in response to a question. The stare occurs in classrooms, restaurants, at work and more settings." The term "Gen Z stare" garnered widespread coverage in the mainstream media in July 2025.
