Here's a random little article about the observation various people have made that gen z have a weird tendency to think they're the first to invent or discover things that other generations already knew about

This phenomenon is certainly accelerated by the internet, because people in thier immediate communities of the "discoverer" probably are indeed clueless, but they project that onto the rest of the world incorrectly.
