Millennials and Gen Z in Popular Culture examines media and popular culture forms for and about millennials and Generation Z. In this collection, contributors articulate the need for studying cultural artifacts connected to members of these generations. Rather than focusing on each generation specifically, this collection takes an intergenerational approach, placing them in dialogue with one another by focusing on media and experiences that are geared toward both of them. Scholars of media studies, popular culture, and sociology will find this book of particular interest.
Millennials and Gen Z in Media and Popular Culture disrupts common narratives about these generations to present complex portrayals that touch on every aspect of their lives. Chapters delve in depth about Millennials’ and Gen Z’s diverse experiences and desires regarding (inter)generational relationships, technology usage, political and social movements, entertainment, work experiences, and nostalgia and remixed media, with critique about agency, authenticity, empowerment, and instagramability. Populated with examples of affluence and everyday consumption, Millennials and Gen Z in Media and Popular Culture offers insights into the influencers of the future.
