Gen-Z makes up less than 2% of political influence despite being the most politically and socially active generation in decades. We’re fighting for climate action, women’s rights, economic justice, but our voices are drowned out by older generations who hold two-thirds of political power.
The Americano exists to change that.
We’re the mouthpiece for Gen-Z on economics, politics, and culture. We break down the forces shaping our lives, from why we can’t afford rent to why dating feels broke, and we do it through rigorous research, engaging storytelling, and the perspective of people actually living through it.
What We Cover
We’re your voice. Written by someone your age, living the same financial anxieties, navigating the same confusing economy, asking the same questions about how the world actually works.
Markets & Finance: Why tech stocks are crashing, what AI’s latest meltdown means, how the housing market became impossible for our generation. We translate Wall Street into language that connects to Main Street.
Brands & Business: Why Lululemon charges $128 for $25 leggings, how Liquid Death convinced us to pay $4 for canned water, what Stanley cups reveal about Gen-Z consumer psychology. We examine the companies targeting our wallets and explain the economics behind their success.
Culture & Trends: Why people splurge on Coachella tickets they can’t afford, how dating apps engineered to keep you single, what the “girl dinner” trend says about our generation’s relationship with food and money. We analyze the cultural phenomena through an economic lens, revealing the incentives and systems underneath.
