A Gen Z musician was slammed on social media after she said she cannot work 9 to 5 job because she “will simply die” if she has to work a normal job.
Zoe Wynns took to her Instagram page to ask her followers to stream her new music so she does not have to work a mundane job full-time, but she received backlash as viewers thought she was being entitled.
In the video, she said: “I know this is gonna sound spoiled, I know this is gonna sound like some artsy creative who just doesn’t want to put in the hard work and hours, but I physically do not think I can do it.
“I start to cry if I have more than like three million creative tasks to do in a day.
“And imagining doing eight hours a day is something that I don’t really love for the rest of my life. So there’s no other option. This has to work.”
Another said: “Yeah so ur definitely spoiled and so privileged ‘I start to cry if i have to do more then free things a day’ what a baby.”
Meanwhile a few others were in support of her, one said: “It’s not spoiled in least bit. Our purpose extends beyond the mundane cycle of work, eat, sleep, and repeat; we are here to create and explore.
“While financial stability matters, transforming one’s passion into income adds an extra layer of fulfillment. Many may not grasp this concept, but for us creative souls, life’s essence transcends the confines of mere labor.”
Addressing the hate comments, Zoe commented on her video and clarified that she is currently a college student and has a year and a half to make it in the creative industry or get a job upon graduation.
She also said that she has worked several jobs in her life and “hustled” but it’s the monotony that scares her, not the actual work hours.
