Gen Z Music

The recent deaths of Juice WRLD and Lil Peep have brought the newest generation of music to the forefront. Millennials are yesterday (or maybe tonight) and Gen X is old school (although revered as seen with Kanye in the Lil Pump song I Love It).

I pride myself on being progressive in my music tastes, and with a teenager in the house, I think it's important to keep it fresh. I do love me some new music, so let's let it flow.





Let's not forget Billie Elish. She proves that Gen Z doesn't need gender names OR smiles.

 

I wonder how the face tats are going to fly, long term.Tattoos have been creeping up the body to the neck for about 10 years. The inevitable face tattoos started coming on about three to five years ago. I'm cool with whatever as long as you can make it work.

 

I'm going to go with Post Malone as a Gen Z music magnate, even though he's 24.

 

GREAT post and this board needs an injection of new blood.

I am a fan of The Weeknd as well. Without a doubt he's heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, but in a good way.

 

Well,. that's your subjective opinion, which I respect to a point.

I'd say that tattoos are a statement. I have forearm tattoos and wear them proudly and it hasn't inhibited my professional progress (that I know of). Of course that is a mix of personality, my 'give a f***-ness' and the times.

At any rate, heavily tattooed people know what they are getting in to; they are either destined for a blue collar or 'artistic' job. But again, that perception is being pushed by the decade.

 

Absolutely subjective POV of tattoos. You noted location on body, which is absolutely a generational thing, even though facial it may have originated with central-american gangs, which you did note.

So say a very progressive business hires a Gen Z employee with a face tattoo; it's probably due to their subjective inclination due to generational bias or artistic preference.

 

Millennials aren't idiots in my experience. I like every one I know- very pragmatic and easy to get along with. They're sort of like the little brother of Gen X, who really had a hard time overcoming Boomers, the gen that had everything given to them and most of whom chose to snort, **** then divorce away their advantage in the 70s and 80s.

Well, obviously if a person has a face tattoo, it's going to be a black mark, just like missing teeth (which is worse, IMO) in a classic low-dollar blue collar job situation. So I do agree with you in that situation.

But, as said, it's subjective.

However, I -do- hire people to work for me online. I don't give a rat's ass if they have a face tattoo if their resume, experience and references are solid. These people never actually 'see' a customer. Their grammar and people skills are top notch. It's generational.
