Have you heard the song 'Kotha Ko' by Shezan? While singers from earlier generations were often too afraid to use music as a form of protest, artists like Shezan and Hannan have courageously spoken out. Their rap songs became anthems of the July Uprising in 2024. The new generation is no longer afraid; they are brave and different. But how do we make sense of the difference? What defines different generations? And what are the connections that link them across time?

Although generational labels are rooted in Western ideas and may not universally apply, they can sometimes offer a useful framework for understanding changing social dynamics. The idea of naming generations started in the early 20th century with the 'Lost Generation'. This referred to those who suffered the aftermath of World War I and the Great Depression.

The naming practice continued with Generation X and then Millennials, eventually reaching Generation Z. Generation Z is a group that grew up entirely in the digital age - the first to zoom into the internet.

Growing up with social media, a mobile internet, and a lot of information, Gen Z experiences a paradox: hyperconnected yet often isolated, digitally adept but frequently anxious, free yet persistently stressed. They have also witnessed transformative global events - climate crises, political turmoils like the Ukraine-Russia war and the genocide in Palestine that shape the world they are supposed to inherit.
