TikTok user @savagemomlife recently wondered what Gen Z would say if they were on the Titanic...
...And let's just say Gen Z immediately put an end to her curiosity. Her video has over two million views and is flooded with hilarious responses, like this person who would —without hesitation — text her mom to come get her:
And this person who would ask the obvious question first:
Gen Z isn't on the boat if they pass up the perfect opportunity for a Billie Eilish reference:
![I tried to breath...but my head was under water [wave emoji]](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-04/16/18/asset/21e91fced15a/sub-buzz-15977-1618598410-10.png)
Obviously, there would be footage of the entire sinking:
![*starts filming on snapchat* so...[emoji of hand holding phone] we out here...](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-04/16/18/asset/f2496d04ddc5/sub-buzz-15995-1618598410-6.png)
And it would probably be live-streamed if there was an internet connection:
They wouldn't be as worried about death as they would be about the picture that would be used to remember them by:
They would crack very ~Gen Z~ jokes:
And only use ~Gen Z~ references:
There would be so many ~Gen Z~ references...
...So, if you don't get any of these, you're probably too old (sorry):
They would still be participating in the latest TikTok trends even if they were about to die:
![*someone drowns*....gen z: I'm passing the phone to someone that can't swim [rolling eyes emojis]](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-04/16/18/asset/83bbfa37cde3/sub-buzz-16757-1618598418-26.png)
Because going viral before dying is kinda their life's wish:
They would be Googling how to swim:
But still wouldn't be bothered to do things they don't want to do:
And they would totally play into the MOOD of the whole catastrophe:
![*someone dies* OMG mood [side eye emoji]](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-04/16/18/asset/02aa2b1bead2/sub-buzz-16881-1618598420-16.png)
Obviously, the Titanic sinking was a really awful tragedy and we are not making light of that — the responses are meant to be sarcastic and funny. Thanks for the laughs, Gen Z!
