Gen Z employees are showing off their “corporate goth” outfits. The young gen is known for freely expressing themselves and not catering to traditional workplace norms, and now they are sharing their unorthodox business attire on TikTok. The “corporate goth” tag has over 25M views on the social media platform, and features Gen Z employees getting dressed in head-to-toe black clothing, grungy accessories, and dark makeup. Being able to express themselves through fashion is important to this gen of workers, and the founder of job-search platform Simplify says that “A lot of Gen Zers feel more drawn by the mission of a company and what their goal is, as opposed to things like salary.” YPulse research shows that Gen Z is changing workplace culture through prioritizing their values, including a healthy work / life balance.
