TikTok Trends: Millennials vs Gen Z

There has been a lot of talk about millennials vs Gen Z in the media, especially on TikTok. In this special episode about TikTok trends, we pay extra attention to the Gen Z vs Millennial TikTok content.

But first, we discuss the viral “socks to bed” video from @doctorjess.

And here’s the baby brow TikTok trend we explained:

This is the interview prank video from Asif Khan (@tooapree). 

Millennial vs Gen Z on TikTok

Dena defines millennials and generation Z according to Wikipedia:

Millennials were born between 1980–1994.
Generation Z refers to those born between 1996-2010.

We highlight videos from the millennial perspective and the gen-z perspective:

@mrs.beaton tells millennials to be cool on TikTok so we don’t ruin it.

@glamdemon2004 questions why millennials even care what Gen Z thinks.

@alabamaabby reacts by explaining what millennials are going through.

@kelseyfairleigh explains the culture that millennials lived through as adolescents that led us to where we are today.

@emilythankunext and @reiderrrr stitch together a perfect encapsulation of why millennials are the way they are.

@faketimmychalamet points out that Gen Z taught millennials how to shave their buttholes.

@itscourtneymichelle tries to fit in with Gen Z.

@jchristo1 epitomizes a cool millennial.

@lillymyrick destroys this BuzzFeed article trying to attack Gen Z.

@thickwithnoass1999 tells millennials to respect that Gen Z has to clean up their mess.

@flossybaby creates a lot of original content around the Gen Z mindset.

@brittany.xavier creates a video acting like her Gen Z daughter.

We discuss our personal experience as millennials with the low rise jean trend and also mention the notorious BuzzFeed post pitting Millennials against Gen Z, an article from The Walrus called “Everybody Hates Millennials: Gen Z and the TikTok Generation Wars,” and the New York Times Hulu documentary “Framing Britney Spears.”
