Inside Gen Z’s Vibe Shift
April 1, 2025
In This Episode:
Andrew is joined by Gen Z expert and journalist Rachel Janfaza to break down her new framework: Gen Z 1.0 and 2.0. Based on years of listening sessions and on-the-ground reporting, Rachel explains how the COVID-19 pandemic created a generational fault line within Gen Z—and how that split is influencing everything from voting patterns to campus culture. They discuss what caused a rightward shift amongst Gen Z in the 2024 presidential election and how politicians can better embrace new media.
