When asked if there is a Gen Z trope seen on TV that gets under her skin, the 20-year-old actor said she feels like “it’s always the bratty teen, bad mouth teen or a lot of times unintelligent, which I don’t think is true.”

Jenna Ortega had a bone to pick while appearing on hot wing interview show “Hot Ones,” in an episode that dropped on Thursday. When asked by host Sean Evans if there is a Gen Z trope or teenage stereotype seen on TV that gets under her skin, the 20-year-old actor said she feels like “it’s always the bratty teen, bad mouth teen or a lot of times unintelligent, which I don’t think is true.

Prior to “Wednesday,” she starred in the Disney Channel series “Stuck in the Middle” as Harley Diaz, a teenager navigating life as a middle child. That show ran from 2016 until 2018. Ortega is also a final girl in one of the biggest teen-centric franchises in recent Hollywood memory, having appeared in last year’s “Scream” and soon to return in this month’s “Scream VI” co-starring Hayden Panettiere, Melissa Barrera and OG ’90s “Scream” queen Courteney Cox.

By definition “in general” is generalizing, and it’s not necessarily incorrect. In general, Russians are nice people.

CNN quando farai un buon articolo sul cancro?Quando dirai quanti americani muoiono ogni anno a causa di questa terribile malattia?Quando dirai quanti americani muoiono malgrado la chemioterapia?Quando dirai quanti miliardi guadagnano le multinazionali farmaceutiche con il cancro?

She said half naked.

Well said jennaortega !

Nobody should be bashing on an entire generation because of a few bad actors (No Pun Intended!) I didn't read the article but my point is there is way too much 'generalization' going on in the world today! jennaortega

How many of these roles has she played🤔

That’s how Hollywood writes teenagers. Yellowjackets has teenagers from the 90s and as an adult one of the characters is a Gen Z 16 year old girl. They behave like teen girls. Haven’t watched Grown-ish and The Sex Lives of College Girl. Are those not older Gen Z?

“it’s always the bratty teen, bad mouth teen or a lot of times unintelligent, which I don’t think is true.” Those are common tropes that have always been used in entertainment to show different personality types, involving stories about coming of age. Watch a John Hughes movie.

So, the way teens have been portrayed in media for decades?

Teens have been portrayed as bratty forever lol

Dude every teenage generation gets represented like that. Every well adjusted teen is presented as socially awkward/ugly. All the hot ones are either toxic or dumb af; the popular kid is a bully for some reason because, yes, u can't be hot & kind like Gal Gadot or Angelina Jolie

It will be a few more years before the first of Gen Z has fully formed brains.

I also hate hollywood always portrays teen as bratty and disrespectful towards their parents and not care attitude. Actually most teens are way more mature than most middle aged unhinged bitter adults.

Every generation is like that 💀

Here's a clue. Every generation had the bratty teen. Bad mouth teen and unintelligent teen Gen Z stop thinking you are the first to experience things cause guess what every generation had teens that thought that too.

She’s hot

PR

Just have to decide which gender you are first then which social media platform you will ply your trade.

They all listen to awful music.

Our generation is finished 😭ortega mid btw

except kids now are useless self absorbed zombies
