Gen Z is giving a clear thumbs-down to the thumbs up ... and a number of other hand gestures. According to a survey by Prospectus Global, the thumbs-up is one of the lamest signals an oldster can send to someone under 30, but not as bad as the worst -- the dreaded air guitar. The full list of lame gestures includes:
1. Air guitar gesture -- 38%
2. Double thumbs up -- 30%
3. Pretending to write in the air to indicate you want the check -- 29%
4. Pinky up while drinking tea -- 28%
5. Double A-ok sign (both hands make the sign) -- 21%
6. Saluting -- 21%
7. Punching a fist into your palm (to show you mean business) -- 20%
8. Fist pump -- 19%
9. Raised finger (to get people to stop talking) -- 19%
10. Thumbs up -- 19%
Oddly, "finger guns" did not make the list.
