It is a really strange phenomenon. Now, feel free to debate with me on this, but i think it's largely because the majority of our generation has given the younger generations nearly identical financial "advice" as the Boomers, who are arguably the most detested generation, at the time being. And, rightfullly so, imo. Look at it like this: Boomer financial advice = Gen X/Millenial advice. There's virtually no disparity, for the most part. And that's what Gen Z seem to hate.
