Generation Z

Generation Z contains teenagers and children born in 1995 and so on. The characteristics of this group of people include:

- Multitasking
- Being connected to the internet
- Influence from social media
- Being more liberal

Do you see any trends among teenagers and children that can be defined within Generation Z?

I don't see a difference between them and us. Everyone born from 1985 to now also uses all the same social media tools and has phones.

It's funny, I was born in 1997, so I am in the Generation Z, but apart from Being connected to the Internet, I don't follow any of those characteristics.

It looks like I was wrong with one of my points.

Generation Z is more likely to be conservative leaning.

How are they different from Millennials?
Or is this an attempt to rebrand?

Did Millennials KILL Millennials?
(what a twist)

Daaaaaaamn straight.

Hopefully we'll be more successful than millennials, but that isn't particularly hard.

Just how many names is that overly wide age group going to have...

And people got awfully lazy with the generation names awfully quick. Like (sarcasm) Gen X didn't mean something, suddenly it's just letters for Y and Z, despite there being no A to W.

Can't read the article because of the adblock, but I get the feeling Conservative is way watered down.

Like someone being from MA and in the Republican Party.
They think they're conservative, but they'd be liberal if they lived anywhere else.

And multitasking? Um...no. Gen Z doesn't get to lay claim to multitasking.
People have been doing that since forever. (women in particularly)
So maybe this Gen Z list is for dudes.

People born in 1995 haven't been kids for a while now. They turned 18 in 2013.

I know a girl born in 1995 and I don't see much of a difference between her and people born between 1989 and 1992 tbh. At most she might have been too young to remember ta few popular games/cartoons around 1996-2000, but that's all.

That's straight up comedy gold

Sadly I know people in real life just like that.

Freaks and idiots always existed, but they were shunned by society and definitely were not pandered to or given power to.

I mean, that sucks for anyone who doesn't have any kind of safety net to deal with that sudden change, the world isn't what it was in her (nor our) parent's day. However... if she's just being a lazy little bitch about things and making excuses... oh well.

Who is this person, are they a known disorder faker? I can't wait until that group grows up and that trend dies.

It's at least 8 months old so whatever hysteria it drummed is long gone.
