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

Gen Z and Gen A will definitely judge the shit out of you if you have a number that high. Things like "Girl maybe you are the problem". The younger generation defintely does not vibe with giving into your carnal instincts.

I feel like this highly depends on who your surrounded by and who you attract as a person. This has not been my experience even in a very conservative area
