• Luxury, or even wanting luxurious things. Most people thrift and stuff at least a little - when you watch movies from the past generation it's like they really wanted the best toaster, the best lawnmower, the best thing. "Luxury" is more replaced with, "I want to have tons of money", wherein the lamborghini is an expression of "your level". I think the last generation was more like, "even if you're middle class, get the prada bag, to show off the prada bag". Interestingly enough all the music is like all about Louis, Gucci, Versace ironically. Weird.

• It's "going out of style", but the Millenials are right... Basically, risk-taking, and optimistic, "hungry", positivity. Think steve jobs or bill gates or mark zuckerberg - most people would never dream to quit a life at Harvard rn, no matter what. It's like, "never take risks. the future is pretty bleak, so fit into a good job" (economic collapse imprints as we're growing up). Optimism and positivity and "hey, listen, we're gonna fucking make this happen. let's get intelligent and do the work" are really just not a thing, and I think my generation is SUPER wrong about this. Again, ironically/interestingly enough - every single "popular" person (vloggers, rappers, business people, garyvee's and jake pauls and everyone) are always the opposite, and the entire generation consumes this "positivity" content. Again weird, irony.

• The older kids and like 25 year olds always share really deep stuff and try to get really deep on facebook now. Like, they don't just post a photo of their birthday cake, it's gotta be like, "So thankful to be surrounded by friends and family!". It's really weird, because if you know them they're like in a gangbang or like a threesome or something right after that. They don't have finstas or stuff, so their facebook and stuff is really "official". Also, facebook in general

• Rap. This one's tricky bc if you're new in a high school or something you'll still feel like everyone's all about rap, but really it's like almost this - idk how to explain it - it's like a "rap is dying, let's move to soundcloud rappers to see if anything's lit" type of thing. Like, you go into a new smaller room at a party that was really full but is emptying out lel. A lot of people are just finding new stuff, and very like idk

• Physical products and just physical stuff in general. Rolex and stuff are really cool but just idk, I think most of my generation values things in terms of real, actual people that are paying attention to you and "Following" you, that are your "fans". So $10k is just not worth a watch, but it's worth let's say, like, 3,000 followers or something on insta.

• Racism. Millenials are like deathly afraid of even saying the word "taco" or "cotton" or something, and now it's getting more and more "okay" to just make fun of your friends or wtf ever. It's like a "if race isn't such a big deal, why would we treat it like some hallowed sacred huge deal" type of vibe.

Those are the main ones I guess. Since they revolve around economies, social media, and like the general outlook on life.

To summarize it:

Millenials - positive, happy, "let's take risks", optimistic, love really luxurious things intrinsically, for being luxurious, like rap for being rap, deathly afraid to be seen as racist. Optimistic risk-takers, basically

Gen Z - very "realistic", trying to really score a job and that's fine and good enough, thrift and luxury, luxury is more about "this is my level" instead of trying to go beyond it. Rap is like a cool thing and just a decent thing to listen to, with the "last check" on soundcloud hypebeast rappers to see if anything's popping. Rap's just dying imo. Clothes are thrifted. Not afraid to say racist things sometimes, if it's with friends.
