About this listen

 What do Mahjong, knitting, and bread baking have in common? They are more than cozy pastimes and they’re at the heart of one of Gen Z’s fastest-growing cultural trends: Grannycore. In this episode, Meghan Grace is joined by Roseli Ilano, Head of Community and Trends Expert at Eventbrite, to explore why younger generations are turning to traditionally “old-school” hobbies and what it reveals about how they want to gather, connect, and decompress. Going beyond retro aesthetics, Meghan and Roseli explore the shift away from digital burnout as Gen Z is choosing connection and presence by creating space to rest, learn, and play with others. Topics Covered: What “Grannycore” means and why it matters Why Gen Z is drawn to slower, hands-on hobbies How simple events are creating stronger community bonds The mental health and cultural benefits of screen-free activities Ideas for how workplaces and educators can support genuine connection Follow on Instagram @eventbrite Want to host your own event?
