I wouldn't call out the depression bit as a Gen Z exclusive. Millennials basically invented modern, every day, gallows humor. Arguably, they're also the ones to normalize going to therapy. Not to say that things aren't bad, just saying that part didn't start with Gen Z.

Suicidal humor is very much a Millennial trait. They weren't the first to make those jokes but they definitely made it bigger, more common, and went beyond the standard "ugh, just kill me now" you'd hear before.
