Thousands of young people stormed the streets of major towns in the country in commemoration of the June 2024 anti-finance bill protests, which left tens of Gen-Zs dead.
The Gen-Z movement is now taking another angle, after the youngsters decided to also take on their counterparts who mocked the June 25, 2025, protests.
In a thread on X, a Gen-Z user amused many after leaking the WhatsApp messages of his friend, who said he did not believe in the movement.

"You guys have time. I can't do that. I don't believe in activism or politics. I just like chilling," the texts read.
The Gen-Z leaked the chat online, and shared his number, saying the sender needed 'some greetings' for mocking the protests.
Several X users leaked their chats with other friends who also seemed to trash-talk the June 25 protests.
In one of the leaked messages, a sender told a Gen-Z man that those who got hurt or died during the protests should blame themselves.
The sender said the Gen-Z protests would end up achieving nothing, as the incumbent government would continue ruling.
"Guys, greet this person too," a Gen-Z said while leaking the phone number.
Many agreed in the comments that anyone opposed to the protests and movement should be cut off.
Mixed reactions
However, other people opined that it was within an individual's democratic right to choose not to attend or support a protest.
Here are some of the comments.
Michael Sangoro said:
"I thought we are in a democratic nation. Everyone has their standpoint and must be respected."
@Ogechi wrote:
"Things are getting out of hand. It is a right to demonstrate, not a duty. Let the person be."
@Njoki wrote:
"It is a valid reason to cut off anyone who is silent about what is happening in our country."
Prosecco:
"If you are not demonstrating, then don't discourage us."

Gen-Z lady sends dad farewell message
In other news, a Gen-Z lady left her father in panic after sending him a farewell message ahead of the June 25 protests.
The Gen-Z lady told her dad not to accept any donation of KSh 2m from the government if she failed to return home from the protests.
Her stunned dad immediately called her number, and when she failed to pick up, he typed her a message.
"He has scolded me," she said in another post.
