Going Further: Who is your favorite Gen Z artist? Or, name a Gen Z artist who you think represents something interesting, innovative or inspiring. Once you’ve decided on an artist, make a list of the person’s traits and characteristics. As you make your list, consider these questions:

What feelings, images or words come to mind as you think about this artist and his or her music?

How would you describe the artist’s music to someone who has never heard it?

What makes the artist unique? What do the person’s music, style and beliefs say about the generation the artist comes from?

Next, use the ideas from your list to write a paragraph about the artist and what his or her music, and artistic identity, says about Generation Z.
