Gen Z Names the Male Karen 'David': Analyzing the Trustpilot Data
Gen Z officially names 'David' as the male version of a Karen based on Trustpilot's one-star review data. Explore how data is shaping modern social memes.
The era of exclusively female stereotypes is evolving. After years of online debate, Gen Z has finally reached a verdict on what to call the male version of a 'Karen.' While candidates like Ken and Kevin were strong contenders, the crown has officially been passed to 'David.'
Why Gen Z Chose David as the Male Karen Counterpart
The decision wasn't arbitrary. According to data from the review site Trustpilot, the name associated with the highest number of one-star reviews since 2007 is none other than David. This data-driven approach has given the meme a new layer of legitimacy that previous iterations lacked.
- Men complained more than women this year, occupying 9 out of 10 spots on the top reviewer list.
- David took the No. 1 spot, making it the definitive male counterpart to the entitlement stereotype.
The Historical Parallel of the Name David
Coincidentally, David was one of the most popular male names of the 1960s, peaking exactly when the original 'Karen' demographic was born. While 'Jessica' is currently replacing Karen for younger female stereotypes, David has solidified its place as the standard for middle-aged male entitlement.
