It’s crazy how people call Gen Z a “failed generation”. Most of us haven’t even been alive long enough to fail yet😂
Mack & Cheese fr
It's just boomers who are jealous. Jealous about how up to date our generation is. How fast we acquire information.
Everytime a generation does something different it's already bad to boomers because it's not like the old days.
@@shivanshlolayekar9668 frr 😂 my family always complaining like bruh wtf we even did.
The physically oldest a Gen Z kid can be is 25, and the youngest is 10, we physically aren't old enough to be successful
Being Gen Z just means that when you were 7 you listened to the duck song and the gummy bear song religiously
lol so true
My art teacher put the video on her Apple TV when I was in first grade. In 3rd grade my history/English teacher put the Duck song on after we had finished watching a Schoolhouse Rock about the Preamble.
Lmao so true😂
How bout the one when a hippo and a dog singing about a sleeping lion
In one of my English classes my teacher made a playlist and one of the kids put gummy bear on a playlist that was mostly “gothic”
Gen Z didn't change who are our celebrities are, the internet did
Ciel Phantomhive your Namjoon pfp doe
Ciel Phantomhive and the internet is controled by adults 😂
both
exactlyy
You said it Like internet were moving by itself lol
2019 "A lot of our education happens online"
2020: Yeah, you could say that
😡 HAHAHAHAHAH tbh tho i hate online classes
Covid says hi.
Hahahahhaha first comment I feel the need to laugh with😂
That’s true😂😂
Bruh this is too real
Gen Z culture is watching this on 1.25x
Great idea! Omg thanks
Pfft 1.25 has got nothing on 2x
@@monoastro obviously, just didn't wanna shock boomers
Honestly, people talk so slowly in video to reach that 10 minute mark. So watching at 2x is the way to go.
😂😂😂
As a fellow Gen Zer it has been interesting to see what we have passed down to the new generation and how we have already changed the landscape. I barely ever watch TV anymore, but I love spending hours on YT documentaries. Interesting how the culture has shifted.
bbomg02 dude ikr????
And the change is very subtle.. There is always this first shift no one notices before the big generational take-over.
bbomg02 same...I Never watch tv. Only when my fav show has a new episode on tv
I got rid of my cable for the first time in 37 years!!
@@liam3moonnnn even when my fav show has a new episode i just buy n watch it online now lol. I only own Netflix and Disney+ now. and I honestly don't see a point in cable tv anymore any show you can watch online and if your into sports they are now usely being streamed online
I feel like sometimes people that are older criticize gen z but they forget who were the ones who raised it.
LuckyRock as a millennial i can say this is 100% true. We get picked on a lot too and that has always been my response. “Well who raised us?”
Yeah who raised us?! As a matter of fact did we listen to them?
@@j.j.6327 Ahhh The circle of life, makes me smile to see Gen Z say that about us, because we did the same thing to our older gen, and soon the new gen will accuse Gen Z of the same.
Snap out of it.
@@dodi-wankenobi
What do you mean?
“The failed generation.” Like come on people literally some of us are 10 tf do you want 😂
BowlingBall Animatics Hahaa! So true, what is the 5th grader gonna do? Unsubscribe to you?
BowlingBall Animatics it’s jealousy
the generation before will always have contempt for those who come after them, and feel more intelligent than those before them.
You will probably feel the same in the near unforseeable future if not already. it is simply human condition
For a second there I thought Logan Paul was giving a TED talk
*phew*
Same! I had no idea how he could've pulled a speech like this off
Could you imagine that? 😂
Wish he did the memes would be incredible
@@skysmindgarden tbh despite his internet persona he's pretty intelligent and eloquent with his words. You should see his podcasts and interviews
Do you peeps even read the title?
being a gen-zer means writing at 2.0 speed when taking notes in class or just not taking notes at all
Gen z here,can confirm
yup.
Absolute.
I thought gen z uses their tablets to take notes.
Yep. There's no middle ground 😂 either you peace out or let your wrist fall off😅
even my dad would rather watch yt than tv at this point
I wish I could say the same for my parents.
My granpa prefers YT too 😂
facts
Btw who uses cable anymore? My family just use roku now.
LOL when he was talking about the "unnamed youtuber" I knew it was Keemstar lol
Same XD
I thought it was. Came to the comments to check
I thought it was gonna be Leafy lmao
‘Going to Remain anonymous’
Everyone: no he’s not
I thought Greg Onision
I feel that he is false in his statement that no one holds influencers accountable. In reality other influencers hold them accountable. Why do you think Logan took down the video? Because he was bombarded with other influencers condemning him.
True
Well not now because of youtube's new harassment policies you can't call out big youtubers....
@@observer5615 good point
I think he's more so talking about legalities and actual rules/laws set forth for the film media industry over the CZcams and online influencer industry. CZcams just recently step foot in this with the implementation of their new age and content restriction rule where every content creator now has to declare each video as either safe or not safe for children to watch
I think he was meaning stopping the mistake before it happens. It a corporation was involved that knew children would be watching, they would never had allowed him to upload it. However, since there was no-one there to tell him that “this was a bad idea” then there was no-one to hold him accountable before everything blew up. Yes, he was condemned by others, but at this point the damage was already done.
I thought he was going to say that gen z holds today’s celebrity’s accountable and to a certain standard
I mean the older gen z do. The tailend though-- oof.
Dyslexic Teletubby me too. Like how we “cancel” certain people who do things wrong and are willing to let them back into our community
Simon is dead well I’m gen z and I thought both did that lol
Rose Tyler I think I’m on the tail end (2006) I think some of us know the difference between wrong & right. Or maybe I just associate myself with people that do lol
Dyslexic Teletubby yeah I don’t consider most youtubers “celebrities”. Celebrities and influencers aren’t the same to me.
The only TV I watch is Netflix and Disney+
you say while commenting on a youtube video
@@martipk Is youtube TV ?
@@dishantsaini9585 Is Netflix and Disney+ TV?
Netflix, Disney+ n CZcams is not tv tho
@@casperhartvig6520 I think he meant to say he watches netflix and disney+ on his tv.
We aren’t watching TV because they’re ruining all the good shows 😅😂
Faxx
Holy faccs
When they said kids prefer CZcams over tv and here I am watching this ted talk on CZcams on my phone😅
The SECOND he said "Logan Paul" I immediately flashbacked to the absolute shitstorm that the Internet became back when he posted that infamous video🤣🤣🤣
Yeah im wondering how the younglings are doing looking back on that...
Actually I think Gen z matured faster than all of the other generations in a weird way.I'd say I was one of the first kids to be handed the iPad when I was a kid,my mom never restricted any content from me but she taught me what's right and what's wrong earlier instead because she knew if I liked something I could watch it or do it at school with my friends,or behind her back,and by the way my mom wasn't on the younger side when she had me.I think there always have been bad influences on children,but it really is up to the parents to figure out how to deal with it cleverly.
I’m only 14 but even I grew up watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. Not CZcams. And now I notice that there are kids that are in only 5th or 6th grade with the iPhone 11. It’s kinda sad when you think about it
Yea I'm 14 too and only had my own devices as of 2018. I too grew up with saturday morning TV and disney channel
peppercorn owl cartoons now days are straight booty.
yeah same
16, I remember watching the 4kids block, and Vortexx Block on the CW and Cartoon Network on Saturday Mornings.
I'm 16, I don't remember when was the last time I watched TV and I don't know when was the last time I was able to simply sleep before 3 am. I don't remember when was the last time I was able to get up without reaching for my phone and I don't remember how it became from a handy device to a necessity. I don't remember a week passing without me crying and for the most I didn't even have a reason
I just felt guilt and sadness.
I don't remember when was the last time I was able to say what I wanted to say, wear what I wanted to wear and listen to what I wanted to listen without hearing a imagined commotion
I honestly do thing we failed...and I haven't even begun my life yet
I'm worried about the future
And sometimes I think I'm overreacting
Then I go back and see the things that are happening in the world and then I think I'm under reacting.
I'm sure we'll see light but the outcome of this generation
Is a mentally unstable mass
We're doing things on extremes which should not be the case.
I wish I could go back to simplicity without feeling like I'd lose myself.
:o That's really deep
Pretty sure the Gen z dates aren't really defined and are just made up. I don't consider someone born in 1995 to be gen z lol
Me too.. I was born on 95 and the dates differ from one site to another, so I could be from both generations, depending on where you find the info, however because of the things I've lived as a child make me feel more of a milennial than a gen Z.. I guess it depends on the person at this point.
A big problem with generational categorization is the dates aren't defined, and are very ambiguous.
I’m born 2008 what am I?
@@thecatonacouch9371 gen z
for me, gen z is everyone under 20
Wait?!?!?!?! This was out of nowhere i clicked on a random interesting ted talk video and JOHNNYJ25 IS THE SPOKESMAN
Bro IKR!!!!!! the same dude we watched do EE with the most bland face expression is doing a TED talk
I have been on a Ted binge the last couple of days and when I clicked on this video, his voice sounded so familiar. Once he said he was JohnnyJ25 I lost my mind. I used to watch him all the time in early high school for zombies content and forgot about him
i just love how many "ok boomer" comments this video has
I commented this on another Gen Z vid, and got OK boomered 7 times
19lu Ok boomer
The secret guy he didn't like was Keemstar btw
ButterBoy42 who does?
To think MrBeast was off the radar when this was uploaded is crazy
he was defo not "off the radar" in early 2019, maybe a year earlier, but not then
he was definitely not off the radar at this time
How is this old dude about to talk about CZcams and not mention the king of CZcams Pewdiepie
Its about an important issue like logan Paul on filming a dead body and how the generation more drown in websites than tv
Old dude? He must be like 21-27.
stella9caro7 he looks like a millennial not a gen z most gen z are one year out of high school or below
he's 23 I'm pretty sure. that's gen z, he literally said he was born in the range of gen z. 1995-2010 are the years considered gen z, of which he was born in 1997. pewdiepie is one guy on youtube. he's not obligated to mention him.
bella I view millennials as people born early enough to remember 9/11 and gen z those who weren’t alive and are left in the wake which is a common opinion and pewdiepie is one guy but that’s like mentioning the state of Facebook and not mentioning mark zukerberg
"The failed generation".
That's what they like to call us.
But we've succeeded in a lot more good, what little it is, than they have.
Maybe they're just jealous that we all turned out to be better human beings
@Arch Angel most of us aren’t even in collage yet
Crescentpaws5000Wolfpaws yea I just started my first year there isn’t really much to say about our generation.
@@krist-yonnarain7786 much to say that hasnt already been said, anyway
My sister who was born in 1993 even call us the generation who eats tide pods were not the generation that do that i think that's the alpha generation
I smell narcissistic
As a Gen Z-er, I grew up on PBS Kids and Cbeebies (i lived in england and america) until being 10, or in middle school. I watched CZcams, but on rare occasions. I honestly find it sad that people don't grow up on these shows that taught me how to be a good person and were so central to my life. I'm kind of disappointed that most people won't be watching them that much, as they were great.
I remember those yours when I was younger to
It bothered me how no one laughed at his jokes.
he’s not funny
Because the audience is full of boomers and Gen X Who despise CZcams and only watch Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel and James Corden and Conan O’Brien
RIGHT
He didn't mention the good it can do as well!
He didn't mention mrbeast.
He is my role model and he's 8 years younger than me!
Pinkpearldisneywishes mr beast needs to see this
In February of last year, MrBeast was not nearly as well known for his egalitarian acts, as most of the biggest ones hadn't happened yet.
Did you not watch the last 5 minutes where he called out the good stuff people do?
Mr Beast is a shameless self promotor who did little to nothing to earn his million$$$. Welcome to the world of "influencers" . No talent or work required just have a gimmick = Fame and fortune.
Also, some Hollywood celebs are turning to CZcams from their Hollywood profession. Ex: Ashley Tisdale, who played Sharpay in High School Musical.
And also Bri Larson from Captain Marvel is on CZcams as well, and also the ridiculous Fops that is Conan O’Brien jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon and Trevor Noah and Ellen DeGeneres And James cordan
Other youtubers make a response outrage video. This guy does a ted talk.
I love being part of generation z
Same but we’re totally kicking out the Paul brothers and sticking with the millennials
no, hold up- kids who consider logan paul a celebrity are not my generation
Logan And Jake and Liza Koshy and etc. are all millennials straight up
I feel like gen z is split to two phases. That'll be more accurate. The first half DID graw up with internet but to us it was a restricted luxury. We lived on Facebook and remember the old brown Instagram logo. We played with our parents keypad phones. The second half are the children whose parents use devices as a form of babysitting. To keep the children quiet and happy, they are given devices and grow up with touch screen phones being normalized. Say what you want, but not all gen z are rotten, some too young, some not living the "true spoiled gen z life" as they were born earlier.
We may also be the generation to make real change to the world. We are loud. And we will use our voices.
Speaking about events after the video was uploaded. Keemstar and his fans DID harrass someone enough to commit suicide.
Googi bashurverse?
That is a total Keemstar and H3h3 thing to do
I was suprised he didn’t mention team trees
@@tinyaspen r/woosh
This was uploaded last February and probably recorded at least few weeks prior. Had Team Trees even started yet?
@@Firegen1 it had not
Tutti Frutti Cheers :)
What’s team trees?
2018 Diss Tracks
2019 Boxing
2020 TEDx Talks
Pweds ain’t even mentioned
He's talking about the CZcamsrs that are problems for Gen Zers. Pewds is not a problem plus his audience is generally a little older than Logan Paul's
WaffleEBay12 I would like to say people my age in MY region still watch Logan Paul........ I am ashamed
@@WaffleEBay12 There are a lot of little kids that watch Pewdiepie
@@coolguyx14 Generally Logan Paul's audience is younger than Pewdiepie's. Generally
WaffleEBay12 lol no they have the same both kids
We all know he is talked about Keems controversial past.
yep
@@leonunderconstruction wasn' that leafy?
That is totally a Keemstar and his toxic audience
I feel that we need another platform, similar to CZcams. Yes, I like YT and think it is nice, but if the trend continues, the platform will have too many users and a lot of creators will be flushed out. What I am suggesting is that we need multiple CZcamss so that one place does not become too crowded.
Note: When I say multiple CZcamss, I mean sites like CZcams, not just the same platform multiple times.
Garrett Evans I agree, CZcams needs a competitor so they will treat their creators better
Unfortunately every tie a new platform appears Google will just give them an offer too good to refuse in order to maintain their monopoly
@@ddandymann Yeah, that seems to be the case for any platform that becomes big.
We need a platform for Us Gen Z you are getting really tired of CZcams recommending Cringe like jimmy Fallon jimmy Kimmel Ellen DeGeneres etc.on CZcams Page
Take a shot every time he says “influencer”
*TAKE A SHOT EVERYTIME HE SPEAKS*
Take a shot every time he mentions youtube or nickelodeon
People gonna need their stomaches pumped
Take a shot when his hands touch
Take a shot every time he wobbles from side to side
at least we’re protesting for what we believe in and are making more of a difference/change than past generations and feeling the need to fix their mistakes to save our future :/
I don't watch TV anymore
Coaster Elite Then why are you on CZcams?
@@peggedyourdad9560 because TV doesn't have anything I'm interested in. But CZcams has things I want to watch that isn't on TV.
Coaster Elite good point, I haven’t watched actual tv in over a year and I’m not going back.
yo same i havent been watching tv at all lmaoo
Wth I didnt know parents give children their phones/tablets and let them watch youtube alone. So that's why yt now has those annoying children restrictions you cant turn off 🙄
😤🙄🙄 Boomers and Gen X need to take a hike
TLDR; new generations realize television is too restrictive either in content, timezones, ads or honesty so they shift to a more authentic & free platform.
I watch TV, but it’s mostly just me binging anime, but I do watch CZcams a lot too.
You can't binge a show with normal tv broadcasting. Do you mean streaming services? Cause that's where I watch my anime too
Mashisseosseo I usually binge anime with Hulu or Funimation if that is what you are asking.
@@itstheazuresystem911 Yeah that's what I mean. Hulu and funimation would be considered online streaming platforms and not TV
Since when was 1995 Gen Z
Everything I've seen says 97 or 98
acetheneko same thought till 97 is millenual and after that it is gen z
The dates vary accross articles. There is no 'one' difinitive answer. People between 95 and 00 have the fluidity to choose where they fit because of the many different definitions there are
acetheneko in my mind gen z grew up on the internet and millennials grew up as the internet grew up
Baby Boomers - 1946-1964 (54-72 years old)
Gen X - 1965-1980 (38-53 years old)
Millennials - 1981-1996 (22-37 years old)
Post Millennials/GenZ - 1997-Present
(0-21 years old)
Pew research gave official years of gen z is 1997-2012
As a Millennial, (1986), I was the one using the internet dial up you played while you were still a baby. Did you just forget the generation that were kids when computers just started to be in peoples homes in the 90s? We were the ones who used computers the most!
I entered high school in 2000, and remember when chat rooms were sorta new. We were all about AIM and Myspace. And some of us were playing online games like Everquest. My mom personally refused any game that had a monthly subscription haha. But I remember trying to play online games only to be kicked offline whenever we got a landline phone call. >_>
Pretty sure he was talking about having internet for the whole lifetime, since they were born.
@@juanmaruli4977 yeah
Dude I remember watching your call of duty zombies a&a videos. Johnny J 25 was my childhood
Where pewds at?
Pretty sure he's talking more about gen alpha than gen z (the youngest current generation)
Same
it's impossible to accurately name the target, just take the good advice & apply it
CZcams is the new TV, TV channels would have so many views if we didn’t have CZcams & NETFLIX
i like how he said "wether you're a good person or a responsible person with your audiece"
John: Nobody's holding CZcamsrs accountable.
CZcams Terms & Conditions: AM I A JOKE TO YOU??
No, that holds everybody else accountable for no reason.

As a youtuber / streamer myself, this was very educative to get a better insight in this day and age! :)
Totally agree with this man a lot of research has gone into this, quique question for any avet youtube watcher would you watch content that has not got the best of quality but is pretty good
"take liza koshi"....not backed up by a private company....(x) to doubt
Wrong, most of his audience is under the age of 12 :/
8:00 keemstar
John: talks about how CZcamsrs are a new kind of celebrity
Me (a big fan of youtube): please don't talk about Logan Paul, please don't talk about Logan Paul ... Dang it!
It's true though, I spend so much time on documentaries, travel vlogs, cosplayers, writing videos, and reading articles.
And tv shows and movies are only something I do with my bro.
i used to watch this dude all the time, had no idea it was him
i was born in april 95 and was lucky to have strict parents that limited my technology use. never had a myspace, and it was about 2011 when I got my first cell phone.
I couldn't stand how strict they were but now i look around at people similar to my age that have so many problems and no social skills, and I'm eternally grateful for my father and step mother.
this guy rocks back and forth so often im worried hes gonna fall over
i just searched a youtube video about call of duty zombies and found this guy. Didnt expect he talked in TED, love for Call of Duty Zombies
I'm a gen-x mom with gen-z kids (well young adults now) and I think gen-z is awesome!! My youngest son probably watches or has watched your CZcams channel. He showed me a video of someone playing a video game once, and told me about it. I'm absolutely okay with CZcams celebrities, it's great to see people other than the typical actor/actress getting their ideas out there. I'm not a fan of censorship, but yeah parents must be aware of what their kids are watching and talk to them about it, it's really the only way to ensure their safety and in my opinion it always has been the only way.
I grew up in early Gen Z, yet I recall a time that I wanted to be on TV, and then got older and thought most social media was pointless apart from the blessing of meeting great friends overtime. I was born in 03 and when I was a kid part of my childhood was freaking Last Airbender, I'll be honest that even in the early 2010s we still had the tradition that Gen X people had lol
We are connecting. The times are changing.
I feel kinda like this is the reason CZcams has such terrible guide lines (😢rip content cop)
Very informative. Very nice.
Other generations: Gen Z's are failures!
5 Year old looks up from building blocks
No not you:
Teens look up from SATs
Other generations: No not you
Kid who just got into to college
Other generations: Wait a minute....
I was born in Generation Z my dad used to download movies for me to watch and when I was 4 I discovered CZcams
I love how he put this video on youtube
There’s this weird gap year where it’s kids who seen vcr’s, phone books, maps and other stuff. It’s that transition between the beginning use of the internet and life before. I separate those born in the beginning compared to someone born in 2013 who was born into the internet.
It's my Lord JonnyJ
Gen Z: the Internet generation.
Wouldn't it be better to call us Gen e?
I am a gen z and I love tv shows and watch CZcams on to go or if nothing good is on and didn’t watch till the age of 10
yeah its keemstar that hes talking about
John just explained what it really means to be an influencer (Celebrity of internet).
Charlie D amelio is quaking
He didn't even mention the Holy Trinity of CZcams- Pewdiepie, Jacksepticeye and Markiplier! ()___()

The reason we are maturing so quickly is because of this negative media.
For example= Newspaper articles headlines are full of homicides,Suicide rates increasing, Starving children in Africa, forced marriage.etc
So strange to have watched this guys videos and then see him give a ted talk. Such an excellent talk though!!
real tho i just watch the tv for kadenang ginto
could it be my boy from cod zombies johnny J preach it brotha the future is in our hands and the hands of this new generation your speech has given me hope that things will get better with a will we will change this world for good or for worse
8:10 Keemstar 😂 😂 😂
It's because of guys like Logan Paul that the FTC came in late 2019, and decided they were going to control it all, and CZcams would step out of the way and let them, despite the fact this was a beast THEY helped Create. There's many factors that lead to it but that was part of it for sure.
I don't watch TV anymore and just CZcams because I can just watch whatever I want whenever I want. On TV they mostly bring stuff that doesnt interest me and butcher my childhood serials....
Is anyone else confused about if they are a millennial or a gen z, cause the years are always different? Sometimes millennial stops at 1995, 1996, or 1997 depending and who you ask and it’s so confusing.
Co ask
I don’t even relate to kids a year younger than me much less born in 2010, I think the cut off for gen z is more like 2005/2006. internet culture rapidly changes, the development of new generations is also much shorter now too, a 20 year difference (ish) is no longer useable and it is more like 9-10 years
You are right. Gen Z does actually start in 2005.

He kept saying that no one holds online influencers accountable but themselves. I disagree, when an influencer screws up they get backlash from, seemingly, everywhere. They also risk losing subcribers and viewers, also people who might've followed them, then heard about what happened might skip their content all together. If influencers mess up to much they risk losing everything they've worked for. Online influencers are held accountable by everyone else who uses the internet. Atleast this is what I've seen during my time on the interenet (mostly CZcams).
He didn't even mention how much backlash Logan Paul got for posting that video. It just felt, to me, like he was trying to say that the internet and gen z are dooming the future.
ngl I love my generation
Well done John.
I'm Gen Z and I want to be on NICKELODEON!
