From A24's 'X' to the new 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' sequel, the slasher villains of Gen Z horror movies are all old people. Why?
of Gen Z say trans rights have not gone far enough, only 26% of Boomers agree with the sentiment.
These are all issues that desperately need to be acted upon and treated with importance right now, but are being either ignored or backtracked on byand centrist Western governments and politicians — who are mainly voted in by older generations. To a lot of young people it can feel like much of the power over our collective future is out of our hands, with older generations pushing their own views and desires onto young people’s lives at their expense.
Of course, not all Boomers are conservative — just like not all of Gen Z is progressive. The irony is that the scream queens of X, given the movie places them as teens in the 70s, are actually all Boomers. And yet they’re used to represent the way in which today’s progressive, sex-positive youth feel oppressed by elder generations.
In each of these movies, the old people themselves are not all that scary. Neither is ageing itself. Instead, the horror comes from the power they wield and the lack of control young people are made to feel over their own lives and realities.
