Has Generation Z Produced Anybody Great At Anything?

If you talking athletes there's quite a few gloabl superstars. And look at the difference in how all of those things are consumed 2 generations later and you might see why there's a difference in how people's attention spans have been shaped which also is a huge determining factor as well.

Exactly. The stage is different.

In the past, it was easier to focus on any specific thing because the sources to consume certain things were limited.

Wanna hear a new artist or song? You’d hear it on the radio or on mtv/bet. And that was it.

You wanted to see new emerging talent? You’d watch a show like Showtime at the Apollo, Talent Search or somethin like that. New comedians? Def comedy jam or comic view.

And since the sources were so limited, it was easier for the machine to work as far marketing and influence.


Now, it’s a free for all

Superstars transcend their niche.

Pusha T is a rap star, Kanye is a superstar.

My mom wouldn't know who Pusha was of she met him, she would know who Kanye is.

You already know this lol

Nah bruh, there was a similar shift in attention for GenX artists as there is for GenZ. Back inna day we went from only hearing about new artists on FM radio to new artists breaking on MTV, VH1, BET, Video Music Box, The Box, etc. We went from 3-4 TV channels plus a PBS station to hundreds of cable stations and under these conditions the musicians, actors, and athletes still made a name for themselves, in many instances those names had a global reach.

Maybe Lamar.... But all of them are stars in their respective lanes, but the average person could walk by all these people and not recognize them.


They're stars not superstars

The average person doesn’t know who Kai cenat, Simone biles, mbappe, wemby or zendaya is?

Is this a visibility argument or an exceptionalism argument?

Going from a limited number of outlets to a few more isn't the same as people now each having their own personal outlet. That shift in attention from Gen X to Millinials to Gen Z isn't the same at all. There's a huge difference in how you grew up consuming things vs how the current generation does. Just look at how quickly even successful movies go from being in theaters to home streaming services or how many big budget films are streaming only. It's a bigger difference than you may realize
