Millennials Created Foodie Culture, But Is Gen Z Ending It?

Millennials created Insta-worthy foodie culture, but Gen Z has a different idea of what being a foodie means…

  • Gen Z are less likely to consider themselves foodies than Millennials
  • They’re not into posting their food and beverages on their social media as much as Millennials either, or even seeing it from others
  • When it comes to what they’re eating, Gen Z aren’t as adventurous as Millennials (but that doesn’t mean they don’t want good food)
Millennials are the creators of foodie culture: they were the first to start food pages to share pics of their trending avocado toast, rolled ice cream, rainbow bagels, and latte art. For years, when YPulse has asked whether they’d rather go to a food festival or a musical festival, they’ve chosen food every time.
