New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a>\u2019s attempt to connect with Gen Z voters during his first-ever Twitch stream Thursday exposed a generational divide, as the progressive leader admitted he\u2019d never played Minecraft, struggled with internet slang and appeared unfamiliar with modern rap culture.<\/p>\n

During the broadcast, which was also available on other social media platforms<\/a>, Fox News Digital observed numerous Twitch viewers questioning why there were no moderators in the chatroom, as spam and explicit messages filled the message board.<\/p>\n

When a commenter asked if the mayor plays the popular video game Minecraft, Mamdani admitted he had never played it and confessed, “I sound so old because, to me, Minecraft is a movie that I knew was based on a video game.”<\/p>\n

GEN Z LOVES BOTH TRUMP AND MAMDANI FOR THE SAME REASON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The disconnect continued when he was asked to name his favorite “underground” rapper.<\/p>\n

The mayor admitted he felt a “little bit washed” and cited early-2000s Canadian artists like k-os and K’naan, leaving his younger co-host, popular pro-Palestinian TikTok creator “Moose,” unfamiliar with the references.<\/p>\n

Twitch<\/a> has more than 240 million monthly active users, with 72% under the age of 34, according to a report from data solution company Demand Sage.<\/p>\n

Throughout the stream, Mamdani was heavily coached on internet culture<\/a>, with Moose teaching him to address the audience as “chat” instead of “ladies and gentlemen,” explaining the slang term “bussin” [good or impressive], and prompting him to ask viewers for “W’s in the chat.”<\/p>\n

Despite the cultural disconnect, Mamdani leaned into his core democratic socialist political agenda<\/a>, touting his administration’s success in closing the $12 billion budget deficit by raising revenue through his controversial “pied-\u00e0-terre” tax on non-residents who own secondary homes worth more than $5 million.<\/p>\n

He proposed further taxing the “hyper-wealthy” through a 2% income tax hike on New Yorkers<\/a> making more than $1 million a year to help fund a $1.2 billion universal childcare initiative.<\/p>\n

The mayor also pushed several city initiatives, announcing a lottery that will allow New York City residents to purchase 1,000 World Cup tickets for just $50 each. He noted the discounted tickets come with free bus transit directly to the stadium, which he tied to his long-term goal of eventually making all public buses in New York City free and faster.<\/p>\n

Mamdani went on to address recent severe flooding in the city, pointing to the “climate crisis<\/a>” and highlighting a near-$300 million investment in “Cloudburst technology” to help the city’s infrastructure absorb sudden, heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

The livestream was marketed as a “shameless homage” to former New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who spoke to New Yorkers on a radio show called “Talk to the People.”<\/p>\n

The Mayor’s Office later shared the recorded stream on X, with his office writing, “Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani<\/a> becomes the first elected official to launch a regularly occurring, multi-platform interactive streaming series.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani’s press office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the success of the livestream or future moderating details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
