“youth culture is manufactured by old people” would have been a trite point ten years ago. but today it’s not even true. magazines and music festivals are irrelevant. reddit, youtube, twitter, snap — gen z is self-creating, self-consuming.pic.twitter.com/SyBfS6UGfV

Which is really just expediting what has been happening with culture / trends for the last 40-50 years (arguably more). It’s just happening at breakneck speed now.

wasn't fortnite created by a guy in his forties? gen z still consumes a lot of art / media etc. created by older generations. my point is just the power of memes in culture is new, gen z creates their own, and this is unique.

The idea that culture can be created by any single group is a myth.

The platforms are owned by old people though. That includes the curating algorithms and so on.
