“The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint … As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behaviour and dress,” said Peter the Hermit in 1274.
It all begs the question, is there actually something wrong with the much-maligned Gen Z – or do we just hate young people?
Gen Z is lucky, in a way. As “digital natives”, they don’t have to navigate all this fresh. They know all about cat-fishing and doxxing. They know about mental health and “touching grass”, about core strength and the danger of UPF.

The internet has made so much frictionless: communication, buying stuff, information, travel, that practicalities are no longer a barrier to anything. The issue for Gen Z is only: what do they want?
There has also been a 39 per cent increase in National Trust membership for 18-25 year olds. That means a staggering 40,000 in this age group joined in the last financial year. Forty thousand! I wouldn’t have been seen dead in a National Trust property when I was 21.

The internet has spawned a gigantic, international super-culture: Gen Z is not just influenced by its peers and whatever is on TV, it is influenced by YouTubers from Arizona, crafters from Kyoto, and soap-boxers on Reddit and Tumblr. It has meant death to the traditional counter-culture of any current young generation. Niche things are no longer that hard to find, and so have less value. The Gen Z identity is made up of tiny bits and bobs, gathered from around the place, which I consider to be a more authentic way of going about life than just picking a ready-made identity, like “Mod”, “Rocker” or “Indie Sleaze”.
We are still in the throes of the digital Industrial Revolution, sure, but Gen Z are the post-revolution future. They know more than you think they do and with the world in its current state, they’ve got a hell of a job on their hands.
