Millennials and Gen Z <\/strong>are people sharing the same planet, yet are very different. Generation Y inherited a lot from the generation before, but also shaped a lot of the society that we live in right now.<\/strong> From law changes, to activism, to social media. In fact, there are many factors why the differences <\/strong>between generations can be solid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millennials are the generation Y <\/strong>that starts at 1981, and extends to 1996. In other words, a portion of 90’s kids are considered Millennials<\/strong>, while the other portion belongs to Gen Z. Moreover, anyone born after 1997 is Generation Z.<\/strong> So, what are the big differences between us? And how is it shaping the actual society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diveristy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First of all, in a study conducted by the Brookings Institute, diversity rates reached its highest with Millennials.<\/strong> According to the research<\/a>, ”Overall, [M]illennials are 55.8 percent white and nearly 30 percent \u2018new minorities.\u2019\u00a0However, Gen Z <\/strong>has been the one to really ‘witness’ the change. In fact, experts expect that by 2030, 50% of kids worldwide will belong to at least one minority group. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stress <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stress levels hit the roof during this global pandemic.<\/a> In fact, psychologists<\/strong> argued that it might just be one of the most traumatizing experiences <\/strong>both generations have lived. However, stress recorded a significant increase among young adults<\/strong>. Recent data shows that only ”fewer than half (47%) of Gen Zers<\/strong> say they\u2019re content with their lives compared to 60% of Millennials.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gender studies and sexuality <\/strong>have known an important shift with Millennials. However, Gen Z have been the ones to really push forward <\/strong>for reforms in both aspects. Even more, the new generation has proven to be more tolerant, ‘open’, and accepting of gender. In a 2016 survey <\/strong>presented by the Walter Thompson Innovation Group found that ‘‘only 48% of Generation Z identifies as \u201ccompletely heterosexual\u201d compared to 65% of Millennials.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is an obvious one. While most 90’s kids grew up in a time when Internet was not easily accessible,<\/strong> Gen Z grew up with all types of social media<\/strong>. In fact, the tremendous outcome of technology-based differences have been the subject of several studies. According to research, <\/strong>social media is used differently <\/strong>by the two groups. Actually, ”more than 50% of Millennials<\/strong> consistently post updates online compared to only 32% of Gen Z.” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fashion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Trends change every year if not more. So, fashion is clearly one of the major differences between Millennials and Gen Z.<\/strong> Few days ago, a viral Tiktok <\/strong>calling for style change made some 90’s kids pretty mad. According to the findings of this research<\/a>, here is what each generation thinks about common fashion styles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
