Are you a true Gen-Z, a genuine millennial or maybe a seasoned boomer? It’s time to discover the differences and find out which generation you belong to. And if you thought you were still completely up to date, you might be completely wrong. Which category do you belong to?
Generation clash: here you can read whether you are a real Gen-Zer, millennial or boomer
Emoji language
Gen-Zers: 💀
Millennial: 😆
Boomer: 👍
If you find something funny on Whatsapp, which emoji do you use? If you mainly use 💀 to show your enthusiasm, then you’re probably a Gen-Z person who communicates effortlessly in emojis. If, on the other hand, you constantly use 😆 when you like things, you probably belong to the millennial crew. And if you use thumb emoji, we really have to disappoint you: boomer behavior!
Social media
Gen-Zer: TikTok
Millennial: Instagram
Boomer: Facebook
Which social media platform is your natural habitat? If you can effortlessly scroll through TikTok videos and know the latest trends, then you’re probably a proud Gen-Z person. If, on the other hand, you’re addicted to sharing perfectly curated photos on Instagram, congratulations, you’re a millennial. And if you mainly hang out on Facebook to find out what your old school friends are up to and share glittery stickers, then you can proudly call yourself a boomer.
Fashion preferences
Gen-Zer: Oversized tops and cargo pants
Millennial: Skinny jeans en bandshirts
Boomer: polo shirts and regular jeans
How do you prefer to dress? If you’re often seen in oversized t-shirts and cargo pants, you’re probably a Gen-Z person who loves the latest fashion trends. On the other hand, if you pair your skinny jeans with band shirts, you belong to the millennial crew that combines a touch of nostalgia with modern style. And if you’re still walking around with your 1980s regular jeans, then you’re a boomer staying true to the fashions of yesteryear.
Buying behaviour
Gen-Zer: Buys almost everything online
Millennial: Buys familiar things online, preferring the rest in the store
Boomer: Prefers not to buy anything online, everything in the store
Are you quickly overstimulated in the store, do you find everything busy and do you not like that chaos, so you prefer to buy online? Then you show 100% gen-z behavior. If you already order your well-known brands online, but still prefer to try on your pants in the store, then you are probably a millennial. If you are one of those people who really makes time to go to the store, you want to see everything and certainly don’t like to return it, then you are that boomer who can always be found in the shops.
Music taste
Gen-Z: Listens to artists such as Lil Nas X, Drake and The Weeknd.
Millennial: Listens to bands like Arctic Monkeys and Maroon 5.
Boomer: Listens to The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
Whatever you listen to: it’s all fine. But if you are a fan of the latest hits from the urban top 50 and the sped-up tracks passing by on TikTok? Then you must be a Gen-Z. Are you more into bands or old school hip-hop? Then we really should give you the name millennial. Do you go even further back in time and end up with The Beatles and Elvis? Hello boomer!
Do you feel a little offended? Don’t worry, there are plenty of exceptions to the rules. In fact, in the end you decide for yourself with each generation that you feel most comfortable, because: age is just a number.
Regardless of which group you belong to, know that each generation makes its own unique contribution to the world. So let’s laugh together about our differences, learn from each other and above all enjoy the humor that each generation brings.
