A stretch of time — weeks, months, sometimes a whole year — where everything feels heavy and loss keeps stacking up. Grief szn doesn't require a single dramatic event; it can be the slow accumulation of endings, goodbyes, and realizations that pile up until someone finally names the season. Posting 'we are so in grief szn' signals a collective emotional weather pattern rather than one specific tragedy. It's melancholy normalized through the seasonal framework that Gen Z uses to categorize everything from fashion to feelings.
Three people left the group chat, two exes resurfaced, and a dog I barely knew died — we are officially in grief szn.
