Millennials are older than Gen Z. Why would a Gen Z'er be sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper? Gen Z would be born between 1997 and 2012, these people basically grew up online.
He's just committed to the vintagecore aesthetic
I suspect the author meant Gen X, but was too busy laughing at their own joke to bother checking which generation is which

Could be an engagement tool.
Gen z are all about the retro stuff they didn't grow up with
Millennials: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that's when they were growing up.
Gen Z: nostalgic for the late-80s/90s/early-00s because that's when there was still some hope in the world.
Gen alpha: not old enough yet to be nostalgic (but will probably be nostalgic for the pre-trump/pre-covid days of the US).
I read that as Gen X. Gen Z makes no sense.
