Why Gen Z Thinks Their Parents Are Toxic | Vijender Chauhan

Parents and children today are speaking two completely different emotional languages. One generation believes it is protecting the family through discipline, sacrifice and authority. The other generation values emotional well-being, individuality and personal freedom. Somewhere in between, communication is collapsing. In this video, we explore why terms like “toxic parents,” “gaslighting,” “boundaries,” and “narcissism” have become so common among Gen Z, and how social media, internet culture, therapy language and changing social values are reshaping family relationships. Are parents really becoming toxic? Or are children interpreting care as control? Why are emotional distances increasing inside families despite being more connected digitally than ever before? This video examines the growing generational gap between parents and children, the psychological impact of internet culture, the rise of cancel culture inside families, and why misunderstanding is slowly replacing communication in modern relationships.
