Digital creator Mama Boyz has stirred lively conversation online after sharing her candid thoughts on how Gen Z dresses when visiting Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD).
In a humorous yet pointed post, she remarked, “Ukiona mtu ameoga akang’ara jua ni millennial. Gen Z don’t respect tao — wanakuja na pajamas, shower caps na Crocs.” Her statement, mixing Swahili and English, playfully contrasts the polished style of millennials with what she sees as Gen Z’s carefree approach to fashion.
Mama Boyz’s comments have since sparked mixed reactions across social media. Some users agreed, reminiscing about the days when dressing up for town was a mark of respect and pride. Others defended Gen Z’s relaxed style, arguing that comfort and individuality now define modern urban fashion.
The debate highlights a generational shift in how Kenyans express identity through clothing — from the “Sunday best” tradition to today’s streetwear and minimalist trends.
