NEW YORK – When Andy Warhol said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes,” he apparently was not talking about Gen Z or Millennials.
A recent social media movement has Millennials and Gen Z making a strategic effort to separate themselves from those who came before, especially the Baby Boomers.
Cusp kid, Zach Gemanium, born December 31, 1994, considers himself a member of two generations. “I have risen to maturity in the social media era and it’s very different from my parents who still live in my home.”
Gemanium, whose parents bought the family home in 1983, believes that his parents should move out soon. “The house is paid off,” he says, “the way I see it, it’s rightfully mine. They’re ready for a leisure community, I think. They can afford it. It’s kind of sickening though, how they work all day, five days a week, every week. It’s pathetic really.”
The 23-year-old Gemanium boasts more than 72,000 followers on his Minecraft YouTube Channel. “I had more with Club Penguin, but Disney shut that game down because of all the catfishing pedophiles, so I switched to Minecraft. My parents really don’t understand the importance of what I do,” he admits, “In the olden days, it was said people would be famous for 15 minutes. But that’s just not relevant now. With social media, we can all be relevant all of the time.”
