How Austin’s Gen Zers Are Making Friends

How Austin’s Gen Zers Are Making Friends

Austin is a Gen Z hotspot, ranking 8th in the U.S. in a recent report, with tens of thousands of the 20 to 24-year-olds in town. So, what is it about Austin that attracts these young adults, who celebrated milestones of their senior high school years on screen during the COVID-19 pandemic? And why are they throwing raves in coffee shops on Saturday mornings? Shouldn’t they still be hungover? Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Meher Yeda, a fact-checker with Texas Monthly who wrote about Gen Z, to better understand. Plus, Yeda fills us in on the real reason Gen Zers don’t drink (hint: It’s less IRL than you might think) and shares her predictions for what they’ll be into in their 30s. Want some more Austin news?
