Hey! I’ve been noticing a fascinating trend lately—Gen X and Boomer influencers are making significant waves in the creator economy. Brands are increasingly collaborating with these “silver influencers” to tap into their authenticity and substantial purchasing power.
What do you all think about this shift? Are older influencers reshaping the digital landscape?

Absolutely! It’s refreshing to see brands recognize the value of experience and credibility that older influencers bring. Their content often feels more genuine, which resonates with audiences tired of overly polished posts.

I get the appeal, but do you think this is just a passing trend? Younger audiences dominate social media; will they really engage with older influencers long-term?

Actually, I’ve seen several Boomer fashion influencers gaining massive followings on platforms like Instagram. Their unique styles and perspectives offer something different from the typical content, attracting diverse audiences.

Plus, with the rise of platforms like TikTok, content is more about creativity than age. I’ve come across some hilarious and insightful videos from older creators that have gone viral.

Let’s not forget the health and wellness sector. Older influencers sharing their fitness journeys or health tips can be incredibly motivating for their peers and even younger followers

True! I’ve followed a few Gen X beauty influencers who provide practical and relatable advice, especially for those of us who don’t relate to the 20-something beauty gurus

Great points! It’s also worth noting that Gen X holds the largest share of global spending power, averaging $83,357 annually according to this article https://www.contentgrip.com/gen-x-boomer-influencers-changing-marketing
Brands would be wise to engage with influencers who can authentically connect with this demographic.

I appreciate that older influencers often focus on sustainability and mindful consumption, bringing attention to important issues that sometimes get overlooked in mainstream influencer culture.
