What Hobbies Are Trending Among the MZ Generation These Days?
I'm in my early 30s and curious about what hobbies people in their 20s are into these days. Back in the day, board game cafes and escape rooms were all the rage, but I heard things have changed. Is it flea markets or craft workshops now? Or has something entirely new come out? I feel a bit out of the loop, so I'm asking.

These days, hobbies that combine 'fandom devotion' and 'healing' are popular among people in their 20s. For example, solo candle making, bead crafting, and raising houseplants have been steadily trending. In particular, many of these hobbies are great for posting certification shots on social media.
You don't have to feel left behind by the trends! I'm in my 30s too, and I recently started working out with things like CrossFit and Pilates to keep up with conversations with my 20-something friends. Following trending challenges on social media is also pretty fun. Give it a try!
Flea markets are still popular, but these days they feel like they've evolved into 'vintage shopping' or 'secondhand trading.' Among workshop experiences, I've heard pottery and leather crafting are especially hot. I'm in my 30s too, and I've gotten hooked on going to workshops with friends on weekends.
I'm in my 20s, and the most common hobby I see around me is watching YouTube while drinking or eating alone. It seems like enjoying things comfortably at home is more popular than outdoor activities. Board game cafes are still visited occasionally, but escape rooms feel like they've lost their appeal.
These days, 'digital drawing' or 'drawing on an iPad' is hugely popular among the MZ generation. Many people start it as a hobby and even make and sell merchandise. Also, it seems visiting 'offline pop-up stores' is more trendy than going to flea markets!
