Research conducted in the United Kingdom reveals that young people from Generation Z are twice as likely to send a note to work to go to a concert, compared to millennials. The data are from Viagogoin partnership with YouGovand were published by NME.
In the study — carried out with two thousand adults — it is considered that young people born between 1997 and 2012 belong to Gen-Z. As for millennials, they are considered to have been born between 1981 and 1996.
Unmissable presentations were the reason why 19% of Gen Z missed work at the last minute, compared to 8% of millennials. Around 61% of Gen-Z have also attended more than 25 shows in their entire lives, and 43% of those included in this generation would give up buying drinks for six months to be in the front row at their favorite artist’s concert.
The research also shows that generation Z is 10% more likely to share content from live shows on social media, but 84% of users who participated in the study say they put their cell phones aside the moment their favorite song starts. .
Other numbers show that 20% of Gen-Z cried at a concert, very close to the 18% of millennials, but a little far from the 11% of baby boomers — born between 1946 and 1964.
Approximately 21% of UK concertgoers, 13% believe that the first concert they saw was more memorable than losing their virginity, alongside 20% who believe that the musical event was more important than when they achieved the first job.
