Today, it seems easy as never to fall behind the trends. Besides, being too busy with your own stuff like work or studies can leave you barely any time to keep an eye on the modern trends. So, do you really know the modern culture of youth well? Let’s find this out!
Youth culture is impossible without technology. Kids and teens do everything online. They use tech to entertain, shop, study, get academic help like at top-custom-writing.com, interact with peers, work, etc. Therefore, technology plays a key role in their lives.
TECH
It is hard to argue with the fact that modern youth is being raised by technology. From early childhood, kids are getting familiar with the tech world getting their first tablets and smartphones. This trend has been emerging rapidly over the past decade and it doesn’t seem to stop there.
Today, youth culture is impossible without technology. Kids and teens do everything online. They use tech to entertain, shop, study, get academic help like at top-custom-writing.com, interact with peers, work, etc. Therefore, technology plays a key role in their lives.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Apart from tech, social media is another key factor in shaping the modern culture of new generations. Kids and teens see different social media platforms as tools for self-expression and spend most of their time watching feeds on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other channels.
They use these channels like @steem to share their personal stories and learn about everything including current events, trends, and the world in general. According to stats, as much as 67% of teens learn news about everything that’s going on around them and in the world from Facebook.
GAMING
Along with the development of technology, gaming has undertaken an important role in kids’ lives. New generations all across the globe are going crazy about modern games. Some of the most popular ones so far have been Minecraft, which has been around for a while and still keeps gaming momentum, and Fortnite, which seems to be trending among older youth, before here in Uganda we used to play local games for-example local chess. Now things are totally changing.
In addition, mobile games also play an important role in the new generations’ culture. Young people don’t seem to part with their gadgets even for a minute and when they are not busy with watching what’s new on social media, they play games.
Conclusion
Although there are certain trends, they rarely extend to all generations of teens. Be it fashion, music, lifestyle, art or anything else, the beliefs and tendencies within each generation are shaped differently under the influence of numerous factors, such as age, sex, social status, etc. Therefore, defining a single “youth culture” is hard, if not say impossible.
