In this episode of No Deep Dives, FlexMami discusses the results of a recent report released by Live Nation exploring Gen Z trends and culture in 2024. The episode critiques the methodology of such reports, questioning their accuracy and the potential biases in their data collection processes.
Flex raises concerns about oversimplification and generalising Gen Z's characteristics and highlights how advertisers and brands may miss the mark in understanding this demographic through superficial surveys.
The discussion also touches on Gen Z's diverse interests, from dopamine dressing to antinatalism, and critiques the notion of generational identity being largely shaped by online consumption patterns. Furthermore, Flex reflects on the role of older generations in shaping Gen Z's culture and the importance of authentic representation in media. The podcast concludes with a call for more nuanced and responsible approaches to understanding and engaging with Gen Z.
