Gen Z wants no part of Millennials’ sad beige Christmas this year. Last year, the “sad beige lady” went viral for making fun of the plain color pallet and aesthetic Millennials tend to love. This holiday season, Gen Z is making sure to bring the nostalgia of their early childhoods to full force by rejecting that exact minimalistic décor. Similar to their Y2K fashion tastes, Gen Z has collectively decided this year’s theme is “nostalgic, early 2000s Christmas” and they’re making sure to include “tree[s] loaded with ornaments of varying colors and sizes, haphazard tinsel and drenched in the blinding, reddish-orange glow of the technicolor bulbs.” Basically, what they want most is for their spaces to look lived in, not like “a Crate and Barrel showroom.” (New York Post)
