Top 40 Over 40: Best Female Gen-X Instagram Influencers

While Millennials make up the majority of the platform’s user base, as our inaugural “40 Over 40” list proves, Gen X women have a pronounced foothold on Instagram. Gen-X women aren’t thrilled with traditional advertising, but about 50% of them trust influencers to give good brand recommendations, says a survey from Morning Consult. With niches ranging from economics to food, members of this generation are willing to share their knowledge and experience online to support their favorite brands. Followers of Gen-X influencers know when they recommend a product, it means quality.
