Ahead of International Youth Day (August 12) we spoke to Gen Z to understand what inspires them in today’s digitalised world. Inspiration can come from many places, but for Gen Z, it often comes from the dynamic world of social media influencers. To uncover who these influencers are and what makes them so compelling, FPJ delved into the minds of several Gen Z individuals.
These influencers, spanning lifestyle gurus to journalists, play a significant role in shaping the perspectives and aspirations of today’s youth. Their stories offer a glimpse into the impact of social media on personal growth and daily motivation. Some youngsters relate to social media influencers due to their common experiences.
Ayushi Maurya, a 22-year-old, shares, “My favourite influencer is The Rebel Kid. I really love all the content she creates. I really love all the content she creates.
It’s easily relatable to my life. I like the way she talks about everything that goes on in my mind. She inspires me to live my life to the fullest.
” Ayushi also reveals how The Rebel Kid’s authenticity captures her attention. "She shares all her experiences, whether they involve friendships, breakups, or other aspects of life, regardless of whether they are positive or negative. Her honesty creates a sense of connection and motivates me every day.
