Buster Satterfield, WIOQ: Regardless of where you stand, they know what they like.

Rick Vaughn, KENZ: I don’t know if it’s fascinating or disturbing, but most of their social life is not in person. They live their lives behind screens.

Orlando Davis, WLLD: I’m more fascinated by Gen Zer’s gypsy attitude. The borrow instead of own. Don’t want to own the CD, I’ll borrow it via stream. Consignment clothing instead of accumulating stuff. I’ll uber instead of owning a car or a license. Who are these aliens? Lol

Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: The interesting thing is what motivates Gen Z. I don’t know it’s necessarily money the way it always has been.

Toby Knapp, WASH: Their relentless optimism and idea that things can be both important mentally, physically – and professionally – at the same time. And my daughter – who is whatever generation comes after Z and Millennials – has even higher ideals for society… including the idea that our generation which caused so many of these issues, the discord, the fractured nature of things in our discourse today – won’t be able to fix it, so they’re shouldering the burden of knowing they can – and will change the world. I have an idea they are the next greatest generation…

Matt Johnson, WPLW: I tend to look at individuals, not entire groups. I take everyone on their individual qualities and behaviors.

Valentine, WBHT: They have a different work ethic than the traditional work ethic we’ve had in the past. Loyalty to a job and that “whatever it takes” attitude doesn’t seem to be as much of a priority to them, and they seem happy to have it that way.

Heather Deluca, WSJO: Their confidence! Also, they have the benefit of being more ‘wordly’ from never growing up without access to the web.

Mike O’Donnell, WKRZ: What interests me most is how diverse their taste in music is because of the limitless offerings at their disposal. They also only need about 30 to 60 seconds of a song because their attention spans are very short, which also ties into radio listening habits. They’re always moving and always changing. It seems like it’s difficult for them to form habits.

Randi West, WRMF: That my perception is that they are gypsy’s floating from one thing to the next with attention spans of fleas…platforms, jobs, you name it. Of course, maybe that’s ALL of us lately.

Lee Abrams, mediavisions: They live in the 21st century digital world with little interest in history or tradition. Including radio and mainstream TV.

Guy Zapoleon, Zapoleon Consulting: We’re in the most challenging financial and employment times we’ve seen since the 70’s. I admire the resilience of Gen Zers and Millennials, and that they’re willing to fight to strike a healthy work/home balance. Sure, they have some lessons to be learned about building a career and the value of dedication. They will make mistakes, but every generation is critical of the new gen coming up.

Jammer, WEZB: They are insanely crazy!

Drew Heyman, WHYI: How fast they adapt to trends on something. Then they move on to the next. That seems to coincide with music.

Jana Sutter, WXXL: I don’t think there’s much of a difference between a 50-year-old and a 12-year-old as to how we live our lives right now. I think everybody’s living an ever changing, quick-paced ADD life.
