This article poses a Yes or No question in its headline, then takes 1500 words to answer it with “Maybe, sort of by some metrics, but not in any way that matters. I don’t know only time will tell.”
It includes Millennials in its statistics about Gen Z by referencing “under 30’s” (the youngest Millennials are currently 28) and includes a comparison of Gen Z to both “middle aged” people and Millennials, which overlap, the oldest Millennials are 43. So it’s comparing young millennials to middling millennials and saying they’re actually more like old millennials.
I wish I hadn’t read it. My bad though, I should have known. Articles that generalize people into categories as broad as generations are always poorly written.
I generally disagree with the analysis of the article. Particularly, I think that Gen Z men and women showing roughly the same divide in voting as older generations still constitutes a major shift. If it gets to the point that Gen Z has a greater divide than older generations, I would consider that an extreme result of this trend. Curious what y’all think?
