I'm just wondering as I've seen some Gen Zers mock stuff like Harry Potter, etc. and I just wonder is 15-25 year olds still dig stuff like ogres, vampires, magic, monsters and stuff. I'm in the process of writing plot notes for a YA book series, and if they don't care about that crap, I can go in a different direction if needed.

Seems like you're trying to do some formulaic, uninspired shit based on what you think might sell the best.

Well yes, I would like it to sell, so if you could answer the question that I have produced, that would be helpful.

The most helpful thing I can say is that starting from a point of "what do I think will sell to a youth that I clearly don't spend time around or understand" is a really shitty starting point for anything and is likely to end up in a steaming pile of suck.

Writing some cynically driven stuff boosted by algorithms is a surefire way to meet with mediocrity and contempt. Write what you want about what interests you. Your audience will find you.

Fantasy is very much still in, look at the explosion of DnD thanks to podcasts
I also know many young fans like the Stormlight Archive, and the Percy Jackson books (and anything by Rick Riordan really)
And that's just on the western side; nearly every light novel literature in japan is medieval fantasy and they keep getting localized to western audiences due to positive reception
