Gen Z Ignites Waves of Protest in Mexico
A fresh wave of activism has swept across Mexico, and this time, it’s Gen Z leading the charge. What began as a youth-driven movement has quickly caught fire, attracting older government critics who are eager to make their voices heard. The country’s streets have come alive with passionate demonstrators demanding change, proving that activism knows no age limit.
Social Media Influence Fades, Protest Momentum Grows
Interestingly, earlier in the week, some Gen Z social media influencers announced they were pulling back their support for the protests. But did that slow things down? Not one bit! Older generations stepped in, carrying the torch and swelling the ranks of demonstrators. It seems when it comes to demanding better governance, Mexico’s citizens are united—no matter what year they were born.
You have to love the irony: the movement that started with TikTok dances and Instagram stories is now being powered by folks who remember rotary phones. Maybe next, they’ll organize a protest flash mob with cassette tapes and fanny packs!
