TikTok is a place of endless fads that rise and fall at a pace faster than the stock market in 2008. Now there’s a new trend on the block, where you can test yourself to discern whether you’re more similar to Generation Z or the mighty millennials.
The TikTok test was first published by a creator on the platform called Ludny (@Ludknee on TikTok) and has since gone viral. But the key differences that distinguish what generation you fall under aren’t necessarily related to your birthday.
Instead, Ludny’s challenge is related to the kinds of gestures and actions that you do by habit or by choice. Apparently, the way that you pick up your phone and the pair of jeans that you put on this morning are some of the strong indicators that reveal whether you fit in as a member of Gen Z or as a millennial.
Ludny published a series of questions that covered an array of personal quirks, gestures, and movements. The test covers questions ranging from how you choose to take a picture, to how you roll down a car window, to whether you wear skinny or loose jeans. Within that, she claimed that your choices and answers can reveal what generation you fall under.
The original TikTok video has gone viral, accumulating over 4 million views and over 244,000 likes. The caption, “Testing my best friend to see if she’s a millennial or Gen Z,” sets up the point of the test.
