Definitely. My friend group consists of gen-z and millenials and we met irl but have a shared interest of gaming that gets us together on weekends.

What Discord does so well is that you start using it for gaming but then it also becomes the space for all kinds of things. We discuss news there, music/popculture, organize events etc

Whatsapp is more for the "formal" stuff and when it's time critical since not everybody has Discord notifications enabled.

I'd say Discord is definitely more popular among gen-z (or even younger) and gamers but it's kinda become reddit 2.0 where every niche has its discord.
