It’s an inter-generational battle!
Well, not quite. More a fun and light-hearted quiz on how much Gen X and Gen Z know about some of the defining aspects of the other generation’s formative years.
Ten questions each, four rounds:
- Popular culture (TV, movies and music)
- Historic events
- Youth culture
- Life and tech
If you’re Gen X, you’ll easily get full marks on the Gen X questions. Same for Gen Z on your questions. But that’s not the point.
How will you score on your knowledge of the events that shaped the other generation’s coming of age?
With a special guest joining Lily on team Gen Z, you’ll hear:
- Gen Z debate what was a New Romantic band
- Gen X completely flummoxed by which rapper got shot when
- Confusion over date format leading to a huge misunderstanding about a big Gen X historic event
- A Gen Z slang term that is actually made up of two normal words, not a mash-up
- How it all comes down to the last question….and which generation takes the win!
We promise neither side knew any of the questions in advance and the fact that it ended up being so close was a total fluke.
As well as having a bit of a laugh, there is an explanation of the context to each question, so you will learn something from this.
Let’s just say both generations have a lot to learn, and there will almost certainly be a rematch at some point…
Listen in and laugh at the other generation’s near-total absence of understanding about what was really important to you growing up. And test yourself on how well you’d do.
