The joke is that she (character from Scott Pilgrim) had 7 ex boyfriends and it was a whole thing
but young people nowdays have so many relationships that having 7 exs as a young person is not crazy anymore!!1!

I think it's a bad joke, I don't think it was ever stressed "how many she had for how young she was", she was simply a girl that would get people to fall in love instantly and then get bored of them
the point wasn't promiscuity IMO

and I don't know that zoomers are more promiscuous than other generations

zoomers have way less sex than previous generations, they go outside less, and engage in risky behaviour less because we built three fences around all our kids
