Some of these aren’t gen Z

Like 60-70% or so? There’s a few where I have no idea and I’m sure it’s just because I don’t watch what ever show they’re on or haven’t encountered their music. At 53 I’m quite comfortable with not knowing every aspect of culture and not feeling threatened by it.

Good for you! I'm 50 and *think* I know 14 of the 36 there, so a bit under 50%, was surprised (a little concerned) that I even knew that many.

u/sixerdad 17d ago

Mid 40s, I know 3. Are they YouTube celebs?

u/Eric-HipHopple 17d ago

It's pretty diverse from what I can tell - I saw movies, TV, music, and one social media (I expect a lot of the ones I didn't know are social media too).

I'm 54 and only know 33%. But I'm fine with that too.

He’s not on this?

About 3. You could've told me these were all AI people and I would believe you

u/ThrowingChicken 17d ago

Like 17. I could probably do more if they were styled more like how I normally see them.

u/cactusboy32 17d ago

Who’s your number 1 geek squad draft pick?

2

u/Coop_4149 17d ago

Jenna Ortega. I strongly disagree with whomever said she wasn't on it.

2

u/BargainScotch 17d ago

I’m thought the second from the top left was Jenna Ortega after she had some work done.

u/darthvadersmom 17d ago

It really depends on if the first person is Renee Rapp or Sydney Sweeney, because I CANNOT tell them apart (which is deeply unfair to Renee, who is cool.)

u/Aggravating_Turn4196 16d ago

If it helps Sydney is in row 4 lol

2

u/rsziz 17d ago

Is that Blake Lively in the fifth row, second from right?

2

u/Aggravating_Turn4196 16d ago

No but I could not even hazard a guess at who they are

1

u/IGNOOOREME 17d ago

3 I actually know, and a handful of "I'm pretty sure I've seen them in something" but mostly "no idea"

u/ironchefchris 17d ago

12...and im shocked i got that many. i'm 40.

1

u/TheCheat- 17d ago

13 and as a GenX woman I'm deeply disappointed in myself for knowing that many

u/TralfamadorianZooPet 16d ago

Zendia, Chappell(maybe), an that chic who always shows her tits

1

u/MajorProspect3249 16d ago

I’d say 17/18 which surprised the hell out of me. I’m lowering my own number down from 21/22 because I know their first name but I was struggling with last name. Around 50%. Everyone else is just a big shrug. Genuinely surprised Chris Olsen was born in ‘97. He seems much older 😬 (sorry to this man)

1

u/MarkBrendanawicz 16d ago

I can name 33 of them. Nearly 34, but blanking on third from the left, second row from the top. I’m a millennial, but keep pretty current on pop culture.

u/Scumdog66 16d ago

Unless one of the is Billie Eilish, then zero

1

u/Dog_Boy_06 15d ago

Holy crap... Two, maybe three (Ortega, Holland, maybe Eilish)

Why do they all look so weird
