Millennials are Out, Gen Z is In
According to this Mashable post featuring an Infographic from Marketo, "Millennials are so last year." I'm reading that first line thinking, finally, we get to take a break from getting ragged on. Step up new youth and take the criticism!And boy did Mashable/Marketo let them have it!
- Gen Z is the biggest chunk of the population, pushing Millennials down to spot #2
- Gen Z is "mature, self-directed, and resourceful"
- Gen Z is full of "adept researchers"
- Gen Z is composed of "driven workers," with 76% dreaming of their hobbies becoming their full time jobs, compared to only 50% of lazy Millennials
- Gen Z are basically all "do-gooders," worrying about humanity, volunteering, and aspiring to jobs that will impact the world
- Gen Z creates, whereas Millenials simply share
- Gen Z is future-focused, whereas Millennials are present-focused
- Gen Z are realists, unlike those heads-in-the-clouds Millennial optimists
- Gen Z wants to work for success, while Millennials are still waiting to be discovered.
