Has Generation Z Produced Anybody Great At Anything?

[SeaSnake]

Greatness transcends generations

I mean yes and no. It’s a lot of folks in our generation who like Mary J Blige. My parents era think she can’t sing at all. But she a goat.

Bruh when the last time you heard of a great heavyweight boxer? We got the Dante dude but he lost to Tyson Fury. Boxing is definitely not a good measurement you can use the Israel
Dude from UFC. It’s a slew of other athletes that are going to be great.

That funniest thing about boxing is all the young fighters build their fan base online thru social media

Sports and streaming lol. And I haven’t seen anybody under 30 at a comedy show. I didn’t even go to one until I was 30. But if they mostly do skits online and not stand up but the skits are funny are they trash?

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

She’s a great dancer

My age or generation ain’t got shit to do w that being a dumb rational

Which skit is gonna resonate 20 years from now like Martin does ?

Which skit are we gonna quote like we do Martin episodes?

This a wild thread. Aren't the majority of Gen z still teenagers? Give them kids time.

GenX teenagers created some of the greatest music ever recorded. The very foundation for how we live today was started by young GenX'ers in their late teens and early 20's. Even younger Millennials have had their moments of shine.

GenX eats food on camera, records themselves dancing, talks shit sittin off in their parents basement, and pulls stupid pranks for "content".

We old bruh.

I was making fun of some shit I saw my son watching online until I saw how much they were making.. That's when I realized I have no idea what's important anymore.

 

[Duwop]

Like look at coco Jones song uh oh... It's sampling a song from our generation, that's sampling a song from a previous generation that's prolly resonating with both generations due to nostalgic recognition.


Yet the kids today prolly think it's mid

 

[RandomOne]

Surprised it's already at page 4

I have no idea how old most of these celebs are so I wouldn't know if someone was a gen z or millennial. Though I know millennials cover a wide age range

If that's who I think it is... she's also got an onlyfans. But yea the dancing ones somehow make bank. There are also eating and other weird shit on tiktok that people get paid for lol

Though a lot of tiktok ones have an onlyfans

Ain’t she like 19
W an onlyfans? Yikes

 

[konceptjones]

And we always call them throw backs....

Old souls


If a 20 year old RnB star emerges right now and makes the kinda music we stand up and support.... Everyone will be talking about how they have an old soul.

If a 20 year old emerges right now making the same kinda money, but the music hurts it ears cuz it sounds like a raccoon tryna escape a metal trash can...
. We're going to go through life as if it doesn't exist.

As soon as they turn 18 it happens sadly. The idea of 'easy' money on onlyfans instead of going to college or whatever

 

[Duwop]

They essentially cut out the middle man...

With the middle man being what we perceive as actual talent.

Musicians and athletes influence the culture.

Influencers of today also influence the culture, they just don't gotta sing, act, or train for it....

Bruh I don’t know. When I watched Martin I didn’t think folks would remember certain episodes for 20 years after. You won’t know till it happens.

These kids be watching euphoria for all we know that show could have a scene iconic to their generation but we don’t know that.

Money doesn't equate to greatness.

I've been posting this quote since the IC, and it's still relevant today as ever:

"Just because you've sold millions of records doesn't mean you’re good. McDonald’s sells a lot of hamburgers.” - Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records.

The money don't mean shit, it just means they found an audience willing to watch their bullshit. The vast majority of these folks on TikTok will be forgotten in a few years as people get older and move on to the next mindless bit of "content" their algorithm sends their way.
