Gen Z's First Member of Congress Will See The 1975 Concert to Celebrate Win

The first member of Generation Z was elected into Congress on Tuesday night, and he plans to see English pop/rock band, The 1975, in concert to celebrate.

The 2022 midterm election races are being called, and 25-year-old Florida Democrat Maxwell Alejandro Frost has won his election in the 10th Congressional District, making him the first Gen Z member in Congress. Gen Z refers to the generation of people born from 1997 to 2012.

On Tuesday night in a series of tweets, Frost celebrated his win, writing, "WE WON!!!! History was made tonight. We made history for Floridians, for Gen Z, and for everyone who believes we deserve a better future. I am beyond thankful for the opportunity to represent my home in the United States Congress."

In another tweet, he wrote, "I am Congressman-Elect Maxwell Alejandro Frost and I will be the first member of Generation-Z in the United States Congress.

WE MADE HISTORY!!! Don't count young people out," he said.

"I'VE BEEN CAMPAIGNING FOR OVER A YEAR THIS IS WILD!! I'M GONNA SEE @the1975 ON THURSDAY TO CELEBRATE!!!" he wrote in another tweet.

The 1975, the band known for songs like "Chocolate," "It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)" and "Somebody Else," had people talking on Sunday night when, during a show at Madison Square Garden in New York City, lead singer Matty Healy devoured raw meat on stage.

The moment, which left fans confused, was captured by the Amazon Music event "Das Haus" (German for "The House"), in which The 1975's show was streamed live on Twitch. Clips of the show were later shared on Twitter.

On Thursday, the band will be playing live in Washington, D.C., at The Anthem.

After his big win, many online were also talking about Frost's love of another British pop singer, after a photo of Frost with Harry Styles in 2014 was found deep in his Twitter.

In a photo with Styles, Frost had tweeted, "yea....you could say we're friends now."

The news of Frost's love for Styles was met with a wave of support from other fans, who praised the fact that a One Direction fan was now a member of Congress.

"Directioners always win at the end," one user wrote on Twitter. Another wrote, "We have a Harrie in the HOUSE!!!!"

But more than just a fan of Harry Styles and The 1975, Frost promises to be a voice for the younger generation and stated that his first priority looks be to aid those who are still suffering from the damage of Hurricane Ian.

"The perspective I bring as a young person, as a young Black person, as a young Black Latino person from the South, is important," Frost said in an interview with The New York Times on Tuesday.

Newsweek reached out to a representative for Frost for comment.
