Similarly to how baby boomers were named after an increase in birth rate, millennials were named because their upbringing took place at the turn of the millennium, “a time that is likened to digital advances, innovation and to some, perhaps fittingly, the end to the world as we knew it,” explained Amelia Rance, senior director of data strategy and analytics at marketing firmBecause post-millennial generations have adopted the digital-first lifestyle, there’s some confusion over who is and who...
Another major distinction is that millennials were around for the rise of the internet. “Lots of people talk about millennials as if they always had social media and that is completely false,” Dorsey said. “Millennials were there when the internet was coming of age alongside them. But that was not Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat and Tiktok ― that was email.” In fact, Dorsey explained that the best way to describe millennials is not technology-savvy, but technology dependent.
Unlike millennials, Gen Z only knows social media. “For many in Gen Z, they got their first smartphone or smart devices as young as 10 years old,” Dorsey said. So now there’s a generation that chooses to be entertained more on YouTube or TikTok than any of the traditional outlets. But as much as some of us might like to hate on young people, the truth is that Gen Z is a special group of kids with the power to make a huge impact on the world.
They’re also the most diverse generation the U.S. has ever seen, but interestingly, also the most similar thanks to inexpensive, widely accessible mobile technology. From fashion to sports, Gen Z is sharing experiences with each other in real time and setting trends that older generations then adopt.
I'm a Millennial and I have no kids and have never had a mortgage. Some of us went back to school instead.
I thought Millennials were so hard done by they couldn’t afford mortgages? 🤷🏼♂️
This virus goes on much longer when we get out of lockdown those millennials will not have those houses. Or boomers, or gen x’ers, and on and on.. Seriously why did we have to lockdown? Everybody could’ve been mature and just worn masks and gloves.
Lol this is kinda funny..
Who cares
Imagine giving a shit...
Stoooopid article..
This clickbait is weak
The generations are stupid. And as a millennial, yes, Gen Z is way cooler than us. My back hurts
Very, very true! I have 2 Gen Zers and one Gen Alpha. I'm a Gen Xer and I'm so hopeful they have it better than I did and make it even better for their children (my grandkids) in years to come.
GenZ
Millennials come in two parts or more like the have and have nots. Millennials that pay their bills and work at it and those that don't that ending up fighting the waterfall!. Gen Z comes from a different social setting so they have the mentality of dealing with things!
And all the millennial and Z gen types owe their freedom to be annoying to the V generation. That's the veterans who fought and died to keep the fascists from taking over the world.
All generations, ethnicities and genders are equally wonderful. Don’t accept divisive articles and political agendas, folks.
Anybody else think this is funny?
So.... we are still beating up on millennials but now it is coming from Gen Z 😒.
This chat could get interesting 👀
Gen Z is cool and smart? Isn’t Gen Z the same group of people who keep throwing corona parties and wouldn’t cancel their spring break?
No one in my life refers to people as millennialsGen Z Baby boomers etc etc . Stop trying to define people's life experiences by the years they ere born FFs
Really? People get paid to write this garbage?!
Stupid headline from . Not surprised.
So.... after generation Z.... do we start with generation A again ?
Yawn.
Gee. I’m so sorry going through two major economic downturns that we’re both as bad as the Great Depression lowered my cool factor. I’ll remember that as I get evicted this month.
Realistically, they are the same. Except GenZ ages quicker. 🤷🏼♂️
They are all young and dumb and clueless if you ask me. In 25+ years they will know I spoke truth.
Everyone’s dumb and the world is ending.
Stop using these stupid generation names.
Millennials are the lazy ones. Gen Zers are cool
The kids are alright, but this article is cringey.
SHUT UP!
if you're 40 what is that? gen what? it's different everywhere i look. i just know i'm old.
