6 trending passions gaining popularity among Gen Z

Today’s younger generation has very different lifestyles, interests and forms of entertainment compared with previous generations. Although this generation has grown up with digital technology, smartphones and social media and spends a significant amount of time on screens, it is increasingly drawn to passions and activities that offer a break from screens while promoting mental peace, creativity, self-expression and social connections.

Social media, in particular, has played an important role in giving old hobbies a new and popular identity. Activities once associated with grandparents, such as knitting, crochet, baking and birdwatching, have now become “cool” and trending passions among young people. Likewise, gaming, digital art and music production bring technology and creativity together.
