TLDR of the stats for those who dont want to watch the whole video:
~50% of GenZ are White, compared to 81% of Boomers
Over 1/3 of GenZ identify as religiously unaffiliated, roughly twice that of Boomers
23% of GenZ identify as some form of LGBT, compared to 17% of Millennials and 5% of Boomers. Interestingly, a massive chunk (almost 50% of LGBT) identify as Bisexual, and almost all of those end up in heterosexual relationships. Additionally, it splits as 31% of GenZ women but only 17% of GenZ men.
Less than half of GenZ believe being LGBT is an innate quality (IE: "Born This Way"), directly in opposition to the Millennial view. Perhaps as a consequence of this, GenZ is the only generation to backslide and favor banning gay marriage.
31% of Zoomers say they spent time in their teens talking to a therapist, a massive increase over Millennials. Additionally, GenZ men say it doesnt help them compared to GenZ women.
41% of GenZ never had a romantic relationship as a teenager, 78% say they spent some time hanging out with friends, 24% of GenZ reports regularly feeling lonely (seeming that social media creates a paradox of less connection). The crew formulates this will lead to a further bifurcation in GenZ between those who had families who controlled their electronics and internet vs those who did not.
40% of GenZ had no job as a teenager, 70% worry about finding a job that is "meaningful". 60% of GenZ worries about having enough money to pay bills, and this applies to every generation except Boomers, who feel they have enough money (with 61% saying they are fine).
32% of GenZ reports drinking or smoking, the lowest among any generation by far. They also point out this has a social knock on of people not going to the bar and finding a romantic partner by sharing a drink, and is also causing women to lose bearing on reality as they have no romantic partner so turn their natural instincts to activism to have something to do.
43% of GenZ women identify as Liberal (Left), compared to only 35% of GenZ men.
Pre-Lockdown, Depression was to 46% of GenZ women and 24% of GenZ men. We have no stats post-Lockdown.
In terms of political attitudes, GenZ is splitting. About 50% of GenZ favors a government that "puts the experts in charge". But there is also a significant portion that favor a Strongman who can ignore the political apparatus (Parliament listed as the study was done in the UK), or military dictatorship.

This is some premium doomer shit right here. Managing to take a lack of vice and somehow making it negative. Truly potent stuff. I feel like I might overdose just by talking about it.
I am not really one to talk since I dont drink or smoke myself (older Millennial) and I met my fiancé at school. I am just passing along their things they said as people who were GenX (a fact worth remembering here).
The issue is I am willing to engage with people who do that, but I wont myself. I can tolerate alcohol if I must, but its not my thing.
I have generally used alternative methods to network, and at least for work I have relied on my work horse mentality to pull me along. But then, I also have Aspergers so there is something to be said that I dont really think I am missing out on anything by not really socializing outside of specific arenas (usually game shops and table top).
This is probably more of a cheat code than you realize; Cigar shops are one of the few 'male only' spaces that you'll find, nowadays.
It's also a 'classy' enough hobby without being weird(as opposed to, say, guns), and would probably give you a good natural 'in' with your local high muckity-mucks.
Food for thought.
...not that I'm gonna pick up cigar smoking as a hobby, but it makes you think.

I drink and smoke (cigars), probably the best networking you can do as a younger male is be willing to smoke a cigar and shoot the shit.
