TikTok Turning the Tides of Social Media

As the generations with similar aptitudes to the digital world, millennials and Gen Z’s opinions converged many times in the past. They both prefer Instagram to Facebook. They tend to gravitate towards Apple instead of Samsung. They both love Youtube. However, the newest hot social media app is breaking this status quo. That app is TikTok, and it’s taking the world by storm. With over a billion users (up from 381 million since 2019), TikTok earned the spot of the fastest grow

‘The Forgotten Generation’ Uses Social Media, Too

As the last age group to reach adulthood before the rise of the internet, Generation X is the odd in-between stage of generations. While the digital world isn’t as foreign to them as it is to Baby Boomers, they also are nowhere near the level of digital natives like millennials. Born between the years 1965 and 1979, members of this generational group spent their formative years without the internet, acclimating to it slowly as teenagers or in their 20s or 30s. However, as a l

Why Facebook Fails to Lure the Internet Generation: Gen Z

The newest generation of trendsetters, Gen Z (born between 1997 and 2012), declared skinny jeans outdated and side parts unflattering. Fashion adored by other generations is not the only thing the 'Zoomers' canceled; apparently, Facebook is also on its way out! Why doesn't Facebook attract Gen Z as it did with all the other generations? The reason is centered around why the age group explores social media. Unlike Millennials and Baby Boomers, who use social networks to commun

From Reels To Shorts: How Leading Social Platforms are Following the Short-Form Video Trend

Remember in 2016 when Snapchat was one of the most popular social media platforms among young adults? Snapchat’s method of ten-second stories that only lasted a day was ideal for the short attention spans of Gen-Z. Other applications such as Vine, and the later eventually Tik Tok, challenged Snapchat’s ten-second story with several-second videos that showcase comedy, skits, and dancing. Instagram reflected the decrease in Gen-Z’s attention span. This was shown in the decrease

Gaming is the New Social Media for Gen Z

At the midst of the pandemic, many young adults struggled to find a way to stay connected with friends while remaining in quarantine.
