☆ While some are making fun of Gen Alpha's 'brainrot' memes, Gen Zers are reminding each other of the ridiculous memes they grew up with

As Gen Alpha memes dominate the internet, many have ridiculed them for being too inane. Gen Zers are now reminding each other their memes have been equally as ridiculous as "Skibidi Toilet." Older generations — particularly Gen Z — worried they were falling out of touch since they didn't understand its nonsensical humor. Three of the most popular TikToks over the last few weeks feature chaotic montages recalling popular Gen Z memes. The TikToks feature hypothetical quotes on-screen about people saying Gen Alpha "is literally watching brainrot," and then include a statement insinuating that what Gen Z watched wasn't any better.

☆ Greek state bank bailout fund sells 9% of Alpha bank to Unicredit

ATHENS, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Greece's state-controlled bank bailout fund HFSF said on Monday it sold its 9% stake in Alpha Bank (ACBr.AT) to UniCredit after an improved bid by the Italian bank. UniCredit (CRDI.MI) announced last month it would become Alpha Bank's biggest investor by buying a 9% stake owned by Greece's HFSF and also agreed to acquire most of Alpha's Romanian business. Greece has been attracting significant investment as its economy strengthened after the crisis, prompting S&P Global to upgrade the country to investment grade in October. HFSF sold last month its 1.4% stake in Eurobank and is expected to proceed with the sale of about 20% of National Bank in next coming days.

☆ Generations Y, Z, and Alpha will become the biggest buyers of luxury goods by 2030, a new study shows
  + stars: | 2023-02-07 | by ( Felise Seah | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Younger generations are set to become the largest buyers of luxury goods by 2030, the report says. Bain's study is based on information and data provided by the Fondazione Altagamma, an Italian luxury goods body with over 280 luxury companies as members. Millennials born between 1980 to 1994 are dubbed Generation Y, whereas Generation Z refers to those born between 1995 and 2009. These habits could also be a result of the booming luxury resale market, where Generation Y, Z, and Alpha are treating luxury goods as valuable investments. This is expected to make luxury goods much more accessible and bolster sales to Generation Y, Z, and Alpha consumers.
