Rema and Ayra Starr are the ultimate cool kids and here is why;
Their style
It is as if both Ayra and Rema took a page out of 'How to dress like a Gen Z magazine’ and have since followed it to the letter. (Gen Z refers to those born between 1997 - 2012)
These two stars are always wearing oversized baggy pants. For Rema, it is mouth grills, bucket hats, tinted hair, statement shades and for Ayra, it is crop tops, oversized clothes, baggy trousers, jackets and a lot of jewellery.
Classic Gen Z fashion.
Their personality and self-identity
A strong sense of identity makes Gen Z a resilient almost, belligerent generation.
Listening to their music and following them on social media, you can tell how assertive they are about who they are and what they want.
Ayra has a song titled 'Gen Z Anthem', In it, she says, "I'm gonna be who I want to be. Live my life the way I wanna live. "
