Generation Z

Thousands heeded a call by demonstrators describing themselves as Generation Z to gather near the parliament building in Kathmandu over the decision to ban platforms including Facebook, X and YouTube.

Dr. Corey Seemiller, researcher and author of “Generation Z: A Century in the Making,” told me this is partly about performance.

“I had to bring in my son to help me identify with the crazy Generation Z, because they do what they want. They follow their own path. They have their own rules,” O’Neal said.

And if that is the case, could the closure of so many clubs nod to a wider cultural shift, particularly among Generation Z?

“Less than half of U.S. adults born after 1980 — those in the millennial and Generation Z birth cohorts — favor the death penalty,” Gallup noted.
