Sex and the City Is it also a phenomenon for Gen Z? It seems like yes. I was born in 1998, the same year in which the first episode of the series came out and I could not (unfortunately) live that thrill and that suspense of the fans of the time which, given an episode, had to wait patiently.
I, like many peers, I saw the show all in one breath (or almost), a few years later, during the adolescence, including the two films, released respectively in 2008 and 2010. The one who, alas, are an adult (and 14 year olds call me “lady”), the films and the series, are among mine visions of comfort When I need a light company on lunch break or an alternative background to music as I make up. My Tiktok algorithm must have smelled this “obsession”… since it is not uncommon for me to come across clips extracted from the episodes that give life to real discussion forums between old and new viewers. It is curious to analyze their common and diametrically opposite visions.
Samantha remains in pole position. For me and for the majority of fans she is the most iconic character. At the time of the exit he was loved because he had contributed with his courage, his irreverence and his open mentality, to fight several stigmas. Today, that on female sexual freedom, on the one hand, we have made progress and on the other it is evident, in some ways, still of a progress of the facade and often falls within the same taboos, Jones’ naturalness remains a breath of fresh air.
Samantha He does not judge and cares about the judgments of others, if he had an IG profile today, he would laugh at the comments of the haters.
Miranda is loved by Gen Ze, against all expectations, the youngest prefer its “vintage” version rather than the more “Wake” of the sequel And just like that Where, according to the most, his character and his life would have been scrambled to forcefully enter the graces of the politically correct. Hobbes of the 90s and early 2000s was already fully in step with the female ambitions of Gen Z. PArole of order: realization and independence.
Charlotte York, At the time painted as the traditionalist a little vamous of the quartet, he is having his revenge. Gen Z appreciates the most hidden shades And not easy to grasp at first impact: she too, in her own way, knows how to be very free and combative, as well as the direct friend who does not always tell you what you want to hear you say.
Carrie and Big Drastically descend in the approval rankingthe more you go on with the years, the more location lose. If there is still a slice that loves their continuous pump and give up, finding them stimulating, Most of the members of the Gen Z, find them cloying and toxic. Big, today, would be called “malaise”that type that one day promises you the moon and the next day launches you without remorse from the spacecraft with the promise that perhaps, while you will be there to float, sooner or later, it will make you go back on board. Mr. Big is the precursor of those guys who break your heart and then, after 5 months, as if nothing had happened, they like you to the history of IG.
Carrie still remains iconic in his looks and in his New York attitudenever missing at least one of his photos in the home of my Pinterest when I am looking for inspiration. A necessary special mention to his natural wild curly hair, before they were demonized by millions of video tutorials on how to be cared for and placing them. Having said that, though … She is the most criticized character from Gen Z and it is actually difficult to ignore the critical issues in her behavior.
If before, spending all the savings in shoes made you a cool fashionista, today, its poor management of finance, accompanied to the claim that Charlotte proposes to restore them, not only tolerated. Not to mention his adversity towards psychotherapy However, at his discoller, he was a feeling quite in step with the times. Only now mental health is becoming a priority for personal well -being. Maybe today, a session would give up more peacefully, between a pilates training and an online shopping session.
But it is precisely its complexity (for better or for worse) that makes her an interesting protagonist who has succeeded in the company to keep us glued to the screen for so many years. Much more questionable male characters (of this and other TV series) have been much less demonized than her. The farewell to Carrie by Sarah Jessica Parker on IG can only be moved.

If before Natashahis wife and then ex of Big, was seen as an obstacle basic girl to the most passionate relationship with Carrie, today she is supported and compated to the betrayals and intrigues she suffered behind her, as well as applauded for the direct confrontation with Bradshaw.
Fortunately, being born in the late 90s, I had the opportunity to live a childhood and a first pre -social adolescence, where the trills on MSN were pure avant -garde and cell phones were far from smartphones. How can we forget the hearth every time, by mistake, the internet button was clicking. But for the very young, in particular For digital natives, it must be fascinating to be able to immerse itself, through the adventures of Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte and Carrie, in a reality in which friendships and relationships did not pass through social networks.
If the quartet, today, would probably have found in Tinder, Hinge or in the Directs of IGthe epochal turning point for their appointments, the gen Z would not disdain to return to those real and less virtual approaches lived by the protagonists during the six seasons of the series.
Sex and the Citytoday, could be a very good one podcast And he would immediately scale the peaks of each platform, I would be the first listener. In short, From generation to generation, technologies, style and some beliefs change but … one thing remains unchanged: there is nothing that can exceed an evening of gossip between friends, whether it is in front of a cosmopolitan or a simple spritz!
