The 25-year-old actor stars as Chester in the show, which just premiered it’s first three episodes on the streaming platform.
While speaking with E! News, Justice shared that she is “its own beast” and the only way it is “similar to Euphoria in that there are teenagers on the show.”
“It’s this crazy double standard that we do as a society where we view all content that has high schoolers or teenagers in it as being a part of the same monolith,” he added about the comparisons. “But then, we don’t do that with any other generation. We don’t say that shows about people in their 30s are all alike, you know, but for some reason when it’s high schoolers these are all the same. And they’re not.”
“When you’re showcasing shows about modern times it’s like, everyone exists within the same cultural zeitgeist,” Justice continued. “So, of course, there’s gonna be like, cell phones are gonna be a thing or TikTok is gonna be a thing or makeup is gonna be a thing ’cause this is just what kids are doing nowadays.”
He also added that Genera+ion is “gay as f–k” and that they are “trying to highlight queerness and how predominate it is in generation Z.”
