It’s crazy how people call Gen Z a “failed generation”. Most of us haven’t even been alive long enough to fail yet😂

Being Gen Z just means that when you were 7 you listened to the duck song and the gummy bear song religiously

2019 "A lot of our education happens online" 2020: Yeah, you could say that

Gen Z didn't change who are our celebrities are, the internet did

As a fellow Gen Zer it has been interesting to see what we have passed down to the new generation and how we have already changed the landscape. I barely ever watch TV anymore, but I love spending hours on YT documentaries. Interesting how the culture has shifted.

Gen Z culture is watching this on 1.25x

I feel like sometimes people that are older criticize gen z but they forget who were the ones who raised it.

“The failed generation.” Like come on people literally some of us are 10 tf do you want 😂

being a gen-zer means writing at 2.0 speed when taking notes in class or just not taking notes at all

For a second there I thought Logan Paul was giving a TED talk *phew*

even my dad would rather watch yt than tv at this point

LOL when he was talking about the "unnamed youtuber" I knew it was Keemstar lol

I thought he was going to say that gen z holds today’s celebrity’s accountable and to a certain standard

I feel that he is false in his statement that no one holds influencers accountable. In reality other influencers hold them accountable. Why do you think Logan took down the video? Because he was bombarded with other influencers condemning him.

The only TV I watch is Netflix and Disney+

We aren’t watching TV because they’re ruining all the good shows 😅😂

When they said kids prefer KZfaq over tv and here I am watching this ted talk on KZfaq on my phone😅

The SECOND he said "Logan Paul" I immediately flashbacked to the absolute shitstorm that the Internet became back when he posted that infamous video🤣🤣🤣

I’m only 14 but even I grew up watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. Not KZfaq. And now I notice that there are kids that are in only 5th or 6th grade with the iPhone 11. It’s kinda sad when you think about it

Actually I think Gen z matured faster than all of the other generations in a weird way.I'd say I was one of the first kids to be handed the iPad when I was a kid,my mom never restricted any content from me but she taught me what's right and what's wrong earlier instead because she knew if I liked something I could watch it or do it at school with my friends,or behind her back,and by the way my mom wasn't on the younger side when she had me.I think there always have been bad influences on children,but it really is up to the parents to figure out how to deal with it cleverly.

I have been on a Ted binge the last couple of days and when I clicked on this video, his voice sounded so familiar. Once he said he was JohnnyJ25 I lost my mind. I used to watch him all the time in early high school for zombies content and forgot about him

I'm 16, I don't remember when was the last time I watched TV and I don't know when was the last time I was able to simply sleep before 3 am. I don't remember when was the last time I was able to get up without reaching for my phone and I don't remember how it became from a handy device to a necessity. I don't remember a week passing without me crying and for the most I didn't even have a reason I just felt guilt and sadness. I don't remember when was the last time I was able to say what I wanted to say, wear what I wanted to wear and listen to what I wanted to listen without hearing a imagined commotion I honestly do thing we failed...and I haven't even begun my life yet I'm worried about the future And sometimes I think I'm overreacting Then I go back and see the things that are happening in the world and then I think I'm under reacting. I'm sure we'll see light but the outcome of this generation Is a mentally unstable mass We're doing things on extremes which should not be the case. I wish I could go back to simplicity without feeling like I'd lose myself.

Pretty sure the Gen z dates aren't really defined and are just made up. I don't consider someone born in 1995 to be gen z lol

It bothered me how no one laughed at his jokes.

Wait?!?!?!?! This was out of nowhere i clicked on a random interesting ted talk video and JOHNNYJ25 IS THE SPOKESMAN

i just love how many "ok boomer" comments this video has

The secret guy he didn't like was Keemstar btw

To think MrBeast was off the radar when this was uploaded is crazy

"The failed generation". That's what they like to call us. But we've succeeded in a lot more good, what little it is, than they have. Maybe they're just jealous that we all turned out to be better human beings

How is this old dude about to talk about KZfaq and not mention the king of KZfaq Pewdiepie

He didn't mention the good it can do as well! He didn't mention mrbeast. He is my role model and he's 8 years younger than me!

Also, some Hollywood celebs are turning to KZfaq from their Hollywood profession. Ex: Ashley Tisdale, who played Sharpay in High School Musical.

As a Gen Z-er, I grew up on PBS Kids and Cbeebies (i lived in england and america) until being 10, or in middle school. I watched KZfaq, but on rare occasions. I honestly find it sad that people don't grow up on these shows that taught me how to be a good person and were so central to my life. I'm kind of disappointed that most people won't be watching them that much, as they were great.

I love being part of generation z

Other youtubers make a response outrage video. This guy does a ted talk.

Pweds ain’t even mentioned

I was suprised he didn’t mention team trees

no, hold up- kids who consider logan paul a celebrity are not my generation

2018 Diss Tracks 2019 Boxing 2020 TEDx Talks

Speaking about events after the video was uploaded. Keemstar and his fans DID harrass someone enough to commit suicide.

Take a shot every time he says “influencer”

I don't watch TV anymore

I feel like gen z is split to two phases. That'll be more accurate. The first half DID graw up with internet but to us it was a restricted luxury. We lived on Facebook and remember the old brown Instagram logo. We played with our parents keypad phones. The second half are the children whose parents use devices as a form of babysitting. To keep the children quiet and happy, they are given devices and grow up with touch screen phones being normalized. Say what you want, but not all gen z are rotten, some too young, some not living the "true spoiled gen z life" as they were born earlier. We may also be the generation to make real change to the world. We are loud. And we will use our voices.

We all know he is talked about Keems controversial past.

Since when was 1995 Gen Z Everything I've seen says 97 or 98

Totally agree with this man a lot of research has gone into this, quique question for any avet youtube watcher would you watch content that has not got the best of quality but is pretty good

Dude I remember watching your call of duty zombies a&a videos. Johnny J 25 was my childhood

at least we’re protesting for what we believe in and are making more of a difference/change than past generations and feeling the need to fix their mistakes to save our future :/

Very informative. Very nice.

I watch TV, but it’s mostly just me binging anime, but I do watch KZfaq a lot too.

As a Millennial, (1986), I was the one using the internet dial up you played while you were still a baby. Did you just forget the generation that were kids when computers just started to be in peoples homes in the 90s? We were the ones who used computers the most! I entered high school in 2000, and remember when chat rooms were sorta new. We were all about AIM and Myspace. And some of us were playing online games like Everquest. My mom personally refused any game that had a monthly subscription haha. But I remember trying to play online games only to be kicked offline whenever we got a landline phone call. >_>

I feel that we need another platform, similar to KZfaq. Yes, I like YT and think it is nice, but if the trend continues, the platform will have too many users and a lot of creators will be flushed out. What I am suggesting is that we need multiple KZfaqs so that one place does not become too crowded. Note: When I say multiple KZfaqs, I mean sites like KZfaq, not just the same platform multiple times.

Wth I didnt know parents give children their phones/tablets and let them watch youtube alone. So that's why yt now has those annoying children restrictions you cant turn off 🙄

i was born in april 95 and was lucky to have strict parents that limited my technology use. never had a myspace, and it was about 2011 when I got my first cell phone. I couldn't stand how strict they were but now i look around at people similar to my age that have so many problems and no social skills, and I'm eternally grateful for my father and step mother.

As a youtuber / streamer myself, this was very educative to get a better insight in this day and age! :)

i like how he said "wether you're a good person or a responsible person with your audiece"

Where pewds at?

TLDR; new generations realize television is too restrictive either in content, timezones, ads or honesty so they shift to a more authentic & free platform.

We are connecting. The times are changing.

I'm a gen-x mom with gen-z kids (well young adults now) and I think gen-z is awesome!! My youngest son probably watches or has watched your KZfaq channel. He showed me a video of someone playing a video game once, and told me about it. I'm absolutely okay with KZfaq celebrities, it's great to see people other than the typical actor/actress getting their ideas out there. I'm not a fan of censorship, but yeah parents must be aware of what their kids are watching and talk to them about it, it's really the only way to ensure their safety and in my opinion it always has been the only way.

Pretty sure he's talking more about gen alpha than gen z (the youngest current generation)

i just searched a youtube video about call of duty zombies and found this guy. Didnt expect he talked in TED, love for Call of Duty Zombies

I love how he put this video on youtube

KZfaq is the new TV, TV channels would have so many views if we didn’t have KZfaq & NETFLIX

Intro music: "Discovery" by Traxx

The guy doesn’t know how tough it is for Kpop idols K-idols: *caught driving when he was drunk* Cancelled k-idols: *date* Cancelled k-idols: *did something wrong has a child* Cancelled k-idols: *breathe* Cancelled

Wrong, most of his audience is under the age of 12 :/

There’s this weird gap year where it’s kids who seen vcr’s, phone books, maps and other stuff. It’s that transition between the beginning use of the internet and life before. I separate those born in the beginning compared to someone born in 2013 who was born into the internet.

this guy rocks back and forth so often im worried hes gonna fall over

I grew up in early Gen Z, yet I recall a time that I wanted to be on TV, and then got older and thought most social media was pointless apart from the blessing of meeting great friends overtime. I was born in 03 and when I was a kid part of my childhood was freaking Last Airbender, I'll be honest that even in the early 2010s we still had the tradition that Gen X people had lol

Interesting…. Thank you 🙏 John Comonitski Thank you 🙏 TEDxPSU Thank you 🙏 Penn State, I think

It's true though, I spend so much time on documentaries, travel vlogs, cosplayers, writing videos, and reading articles. And tv shows and movies are only something I do with my bro.

John just explained what it really means to be an influencer (Celebrity of internet).

It's my Lord JonnyJ

So strange to have watched this guys videos and then see him give a ted talk. Such an excellent talk though!!

1:40 OMG I literally watched this video 2 hours ago 😳

Well done John.

Watching this in May 2020 really hits lol

I am a gen z and I love tv shows and watch KZfaq on to go or if nothing good is on and didn’t watch till the age of 10

Anyone knows who is the unnamed influencer?? :D

Other generations: Gen Z's are failures! 5 Year old looks up from building blocks No not you: Teens look up from SATs Other generations: No not you Kid who just got into to college Other generations: Wait a minute....
