What is Kids These Days?
A newsletter bringing you generational insight via links, commentary, and research.
Why is it called Kids These Days?
The phrase "Kids These Days" captures the collective confusion people often feel when culture begins to shift. There are endless examples of older generations bemoaning the fashion, norms, and mores of the younger generation. I’ve found at the core of complaints about "kids these days" there is actually a hunger to understand how and why the world is changing.
Shifting norms and mores about work, family life, leadership, and consumerism are at the center of my curiosity. My goal with this newsletter is to use a generational lens to explore where we've been, how we got to where we are, and where we may go from here.
