You're banned from just hanging out in places in the US? No wonder Gen Z Americans seem so socially stunted
Yeah, loitering laws have been common for a while. Tmk they're mostly used for harassing non-white and homeless people, but teens in general get some harassment too.
This is the first I've heard of outright banning them, though
Yeah and if you think about the fact gen z is the most racially diverse generation, there’s definitely some racial bias tied into ageism here. Gen Z is 50% non-white, and in urban areas especially, kids of color make up the majority
Old white business owners probably see a lot of mostly non-white groups of teens, walking around laughing. Their first instinct is usually that they’re up to something.
teens in general get some harassment too
I remember when I was a teen a news story about malls playing a high pitched sound that old people couldn't hear in order to annoy teens into leaving was going around. Never encountered it myself though.
I remember it being a ring tone that teachers couldn't hear. But every teacher we tried it on could hear it.
I remember people at my hs doing it as a prank through some app in 2020. It worked with our 60 yo grannie math teacher, but some idiot tried it on a 30 yo teacher and got his phone confiscated in the main office.
Widely used in the UK for a while
There are houses I've delivered to that play that sound when you set off a motion sensor. I have no idea what they think it's doing except pissing off everyone in the neighborhood that can hear it.
I'm at the awkward age where I grew up when those became new, but by the time they were really 'a thing,' I had already fucked up my hearing enough to not notice them.
Fuck you store owners.
