As a member of Generation Z, it’s hard to remember a time when media content wasn’t so readily available. The internet is thirty years old and bursting with entertainment available to you right at your fingertips. YouTube, in particular, has fostered plenty of DIY entertainers, and it’s now home to some of the most creative and talented entertainers of our generation. Here are some of the awesome GenZ women killing content-creation right now:

Fresh out of UCLA, Ashley (no last name provided) is on the grind. Her videos are full of fashion inspo and cool tips and tricks on how to shop smarter and really make the most of your closet. Occasionally, she’ll redecorate a whole room or dole out some sage life advice, but mainly she’s all about the clothes – Harper’s Bazaar recently featured her in one of their own YouTube videos. If you want to look cute on a budget, Ashley’s got you covered. Check out her guide to wardrobe must-haves: the ultimate guide to closet essentials.
ElleoftheMills

Elle’s all about the spectacular. From organizing a Pride Parade for her town to selling tickets to her brother’s roast, there’s no telling what she has in store next. She rose to fame with her coming-out video in which she wraps her house in the colors of the Pride flag to tell her family. Check out her brother’s roast – it’s insane: I THREW A GOODBYE ROAST FOR MY BROTHER.
Sabrina

Formerly “Nerdy and Quirky,” Sabrina has been popular on YouTube for a while. She once filled-in for John Green on his channel while he took paternity leave. Sabrina makes really funny, educational videos on some of the things you’d never think to think about, and some other things you might think about all the time. Here’s her latest on vaping: Vaping: A Lesson in Irony.
ANJA

Anja’s an average GenZ teen, and she captures that experience beautifully through her content. She’s got it all: music, art, makeup, shenanigans… but she’s currently on traveling, spending a gap year in a Germany. Her most popular videos are about her art – particularly her Bob Ross bedroom walls. Here’s one of her best: FOLLOWING ANOTHER BOB ROSS TUTORIAL ON A BEDROOM WALL.
Not Even Emily

Yes, Vine veteran Not Even Emily has made the transition to YouTube and yes, she’s hilarious as ever. Her content now comes in the form of commentary laced with hysterically funny skits. Watch her rant about things like “quirky culture” and “self-care” and then lose your breath over her exaggerated portrayals. This one had me in tears: Quirky Culture Must Be Stopped.
