Gen C refers to a new force in consumer culture comprised of people who care deeply about creation, curation, connection, and community through publishing content online. Most millennials identify as Gen C, though it describes a mindset defined by creating, sharing, and building community rather than an age group alone. Gen C heavily uses social networks to develop a sense of self through online interactions and shares a high value of original, relevant content and conversations on platforms like YouTube, which sees equal engagement from Gen C on smartphones and desktops.
