If there’s one thing for certain about Gen Z, it’s that (for the most part) we value creative and individual expression over everything. As with any other community, there are plenty of sub-categories of interests and niches, arguably more so than in previous generations.

(Of course, classics like Dr. Martens Mary Janes and Acne Studios‘ multicolored scarf are always safe bets.)
