Let’s imagine for a moment: what if Gen Z, the young and super-digital generation, took charge of everything? From the way we work to the food we eat, things would look totally different-sometimes practical, sometimes just for fun! Before we jump into the funny part, let’s first understand who Gen Z is and what makes them so unique in 2025.
Who Are Gen Z?
Gen Z means those born between 1997 and 2012. Right now, their age is anywhere from early teens to late twenties. In India, there are more than 450 million Gen Z people-making them a huge part of our population. They grew up with the internet, smartphones, and social media, so they are true digital natives. Their world is fast, visual, and always connected.
As per a recent report, “Gen Z in India is deeply integrated with technology, often using smartphones and social media as their primary means of communication.”

10 Hilarious Things That Would Change If Gen Z Ran the World
Now, let’s have some fun! If Gen Z was in charge, here’s what might happen:
1. Work from Anywhere-Literally
Forget boring offices! Meetings would happen from beaches, parks, or even during a trek. Pajamas in Zoom calls? Totally normal.
2. Dress Code: Express Yourself
No more formal shirts and trousers. Crocs with socks, bucket hats, and thrifted clothes would be the new office wear. Every day is “Express Yourself Day.”
3. Memes as Official Communication
Government notifications and school circulars would come as memes or GIFs. Why write long emails when a meme says it all?
4. Cafeteria Menu: Only Bussin’ Food
School and office canteens would serve bubble tea, hot Cheetos, and Maggi with cheese. Pineapple on pizza? Compulsory!
5. Mental Health Days for All
Feeling “big yikes”? Just take a mental health day-no questions asked. Therapy apps and mindfulness breaks would be as normal as tea breaks.
6. Climate Action-No Cap
Plastic straws? Banned. Every city would have more trees than malls. “Eco-friendly” is not a trend, it’s the law.
7. Voting by Swiping
Elections would happen on your phone. Swipe right to vote for your leader, swipe left to reject. No more standing in line!
8. Social Media for Everything
Lost your pet? Post a story. Want to complain about potholes? Tag the local authority on Instagram. Everything is sorted online.
9. Streaming All the Way
No more cable TV. Everything is on OTT-binge-watching is a national hobby. Even news comes as short, viral videos.
10. Be Yourself, Always
No more hiding your quirks. Everyone is encouraged to show their “main character energy.” Being different is celebrated, not judged.
Some Fun Stats About Indian Gen Z
“Active social media users: Approximately 200 million”
“Online gamers: Approximately 100 million”
“Young entrepreneurs (ages 18-24): Approximately 10 million”
Gen Z is not just about fun-they are also changing how we work, learn, and live. For example, “25% of young professionals borrowed to fund their business venture ideas, with 59% of these loans directed toward expansion and 27% toward marketing.”
And even for spending, “20% borrowed for lifestyle needs, with shopping (45%) and travel (31%) being the top spending categories.”
2025 and the Future: What’s Next for Gen Z?
Looking ahead, Gen Z is only going to get more powerful. In 2025, they will:
-
Demand more flexibility in work and life
-
Focus on mental health and well-being
-
Use tech for everything-shopping, learning, even spirituality
-
Push for real change in climate, diversity, and inclusion
-
Lead the way in entrepreneurship and digital innovation
But will their slang, memes, and trends last forever? Maybe not. Every new generation brings its own style. But one thing is sure: Gen Z’s impact on India and the world is here to stay.
Bottom Line
Gen Z is not just another young generation-they are a force shaping the future. With their love for tech, memes, and real talk about mental health, they are making the world more open, flexible, and fun. If they ran the world, life would be more colourful, more connected, and definitely more entertaining!
