β€‹β€‹βš‘οΈ Generation Z & Their Love for Aesthetic Boards

#GenZ is often referred to as one of the most unique, values-driven generations. They see identity as fluid and care about social impact, with 56% considering themselves socially conscious, according to #Pinterest.

There are over 37 million aesthetic related boards on Pinterest, with Gen Z’ers searching for β€œaesthetic” 447% more than #Millennials. Through aesthetic boards like witch, grunge and love, Gen Z is finding their identity.

- Witch Aesthetic +281%, 3.1X more than millennials
- Grunge Aesthetic +262%, 6.3X more than millennials
- Love Aesthetic +351%, 2.6X more than millennials
- Art Aesthetic +353%, searching 3.3X more than millennials
- Writing Aesthetic +241%, searching 7.0X more than millennials

As Gen Z curates these boards to find their inner selves, they provide a unique look into emerging subcultures and passions.

❗️Generation Z or Gen Z, also known by a number of other names, is the demographic cohort after the Millennials. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends, but demographers and researchers typically use the mid-1990s to mid-2000s as starting birth years. There is little consensus regarding ending birth years.

❓ When were you born?
πŸ“Œ the State of Pinterest

29% of US Adults Use #Pinterest. Of the other social platforms, it’s fourth in popularity, behind #YouTube, #Facebook and #Instagram. However, the metric has been slowly climbing.

According to Pinterest’s own demographic data, more than half of Pinners are international and more than half of new signups are men. This means that even if US audiences aren’t gaining as quickly, there’s potential for an international audience to take off.

Bonus:
πŸ’° Pinterest delivers $2 in profit per $1 spent on ads.
πŸ“Œ 70% of Pinners will search, save or click on a Pin.
πŸ“± 85% of Pinterest searches happen on mobile.
