Gen Zs are eager to find their place in the world, and making room for others is a no-brainer in their world view. Gen Zs see diversity and inclusion as essential to social life. And they don't just extend this flexibility to others; they know that they deserve it, too. They have been coached to challenge socially constructed norms about ability, beauty, and body image and to accept themselves for the people they are.
These generational values are not just cerebral. Gen Zs also wear their cultural mores on their sleeves. Refinery 29 author Erin Cunningham writes, "[Gen Zs] gravitate toward brands that promote a diverse, gender-neutral, edgy, and above all, authentic, vision. The old rules that the fashion industry has lived and died by (like status symbols and mass trends) ring hollow to them."
Gen Zs are a deep, sincere, and hopeful generation; they are exactly what our world needs.
