Gen Z Likes Driving in Total Silence, Gen X Prefers to Rock Out!

If we want more kids to listen, we might need to launch an ASMR version of this show.

A new poll found Gen Z adults are the generation most likely to want a calming environment, or complete SILENCE on their morning commute.

55% of Zoomers claim they enjoy driving in total silence.  They’re also the most likely to use their drive to mentally “process” their workday, and the most likely to take an occasional nap in their car.  (Hopefully NOT while driving.)

The survey looked at how different generations use their time in the car, and each age group is a little different.

Millennials are the most likely to think about the future or make plans while driving.  So, more obsessed with multitasking and being productive.

And if you’re Gen X, congrats on still being COOL.  (!!!)  Gen X’ers are the generation most likely to ROCK OUT on their morning commute.  89% said listening to music in their car is their top driving activity.

Don’t feel too cool though, Gen X.  You’re also the most likely to feel the need to give yourself a PEP TALK behind the wheel.  Around 1 in 5 Gen X’ers have done it.
