Gen Z Woman Just Discovered ‘Millennial Pause.’

This pause is real, but is not due to just the former quirks of various social media apps. Not at all. It’s because analog recording tech such as audio cassettes and VHS tapes usually had a 1-3 second period where they had to spool up and actually start recording when you hit the button.

A lot of millennials (and all of Gen X) remember those times, while Gen Z has no clue; all of that was gone by the time they came around.

And that is where the pause comes from.
