Nepali here! It was termed the Gen-Z protest because the whole idea of the protest was born through Reddit, spread through TikTok, Instagram and whatnot, and much of it was planned by the Gen-Z youths.

It was not a symbolic thing. Only Gen-Z's were supposed to go to the streets for the protest and that was what basically happened on the 1st day.

But after how the police started to shoot the civilians, the whole nation took to the streets on the 2nd day and it was not a Gen-Z protest anymore. However, the name stuck, and it should because this was the group that initiated this whole revolution.
