I'm a Gen Zer who went undercover for 3 weeks as a Gen Xer on TikTok – a lot of their jokes went over my head
As a 23-year-old, I consider myself an elder Gen Zer who understands references from both 30-year-olds and teenagers, but Gen X and its sense of humor stumped me.
I spent nearly a month scrolling a foreign TikTok For You Page with a new account set to my birthday — except 50 years ago in 1973. I created the alternative profile so that I could browse the content of Gen X — those born between 1965 and 1981 — and compare it to my Gen Z-focused feed that caters to those born between 1997 and 2012.as a search engine for recipes, honest reviews, and restaurant recommendations.
It made me curious to see how people my mom's age use TikTok since there are only estimates on how much each generation is using the app. It took some time to identify the content more fitting for Gen X because a fresh TikTok account's"For You" feed is mostly viral videos and motivational speeches. But I engaged for weeks with parenting content, skits about work, and"Gen X Thought of the Day" videos, and my experiment finally landed me among older users.
