Millennials are Out, Gen Z is In

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.

I sure am glad Mashable really let those young whippersnappers have it. After all, Millennials have been the brunt of the joke for too long now! It's time for a new whipping boy!
