About Millennials and Generation Z

——————————

Intro 前言

很难界定千禧一代(生于20世纪80年代至2000年初)和 z 世代(生于1995年以后) ，但那些已成为当前消费市场中心的人与上一代有着不同的价值观和文化品味。他们表现出的消费特征是强调个人幸福而非群体，分享而非持有，体验而非产品。不仅仅是购买东西，他们倾向于通过购买包含社会价值观和信息的东西来表达自己的信念，他们也喜欢展示自己的成功或财富，并且乐于投资昂贵的品。与老一辈为了一个遥远的未来而牺牲了现在不同，他们关注的是现在。

It is difficult to define the millennials (born between the 1980s and early 2000) and the generation Z(born after 1995), but those who have emerged as the center of the current consumer market have different values and cultural tastes from the previous generation. They show the consumption characteristic that emphasizes individual happiness rather than group, sharing rather than ownership, and experience rather than product. They tend to expresses their belief by purchasing things containing social values and messages, not just purchasing things. They also enjoy the 'flex' culture that shows off their success or wealth, and invest easily in expensive luxury goods. Unlike the older generation who sacrificed the present for a guaranteed distant future, they are concentrating on the present.

千禧一代：在美国，千禧一代通常指的是出生于1980到21世纪初的人。对于千禧一代的界限有很多分歧，但2018年3月1日，《纽约时报》宣布，美国皮尤研究中心对1981年至1996年的千禧一代进行了定义。千禧一代也被称为 Y 一代，意思是他们是 X 一代的下一代。因为熟悉 IT 技术,这一代人也被称为技术一代。在《时代》杂志上，他们把这一代人称为“自我一代” ，因为这一代人的思考和行动以自我为主。

Millennials: In the United States, millennials are usually referred to births from 1980 to the early 2000s. There were many disagreements about the boundaries of the millennial generation, but on March 1, 2018, the New York Times announced that the Pew Research Center in the United States defines millennials from 1981 to 1996. The millennials are also called generation Y, which refers that they are the next generation of the generation X. This generation is also called 'tech generation' in the sense that they are familiar with IT technology. And in Time magazine, they called ‘me generation' because it is a generation that thinks and acts mainly on oneself.

Z世代：指的是1995年后出生，在全球和美国市场上已占据最高人口比例，超过了千禧一代的人。目前，Z世代处于十几岁到二十多岁的年龄段，他们被称为数字原住民，不像千禧一代生长在模拟和数字文化的混合环境中，他们从小就接触到数字环境。

Generation Z: It is a word that refers to births since 1995 and already accounts for the highest proportion of the population in the global and US markets, surpassing the millennial generation. Currently, the generation Z are in their early teens and mid-20s which are called digital natives who have been exposed to the digital environment since childhood, unlike the millennials who grew up in a mixed environment of analog and digital culture.

首先，我们将用6个能代表千禧一代和z世代的关键词来总结他们的特征。其目的是了解处于趋势中心的他们，解读流动的变化，并预测未来。我们将以匹配每个关键词的例子来研究年轻一代的特点。

First of all, we will summarize the characteristics of millennials and generation Z with six keywords that can represent the them. The purpose is to understand these generations that are the center of trends, read the flow of change, and predict the future. We will look at the characteristics of the younger generation with examples that match each keyword.

对于千禧一代和Z一代来说，被认为是某一特定阶层的专有财产的文化，如向公众传播的游戏、动画和科幻电影等，已经成为他们生活的一部分。品牌历来在战略上排斥流行文化，但他们目前正试图通过针对千禧一代和 z 世代的各种合作以反映年轻一代的品味和文化。

The culture that was regarded as the exclusive property of a specific class, such as games, animation, and SF movies spread to the public. For the millennial and generation Z, these cultures has become part of life. Traditionally, luxury brands have strategically excluded popular culture but they are currently trying to reflect younger generation’s tastes and culture, by conducting various collaborations targeting the millennial and generation Z.

#Supreme#StreetBrand#Drop

嘻哈和滑板在过去只是亚文化，现在成为谈论潮流不可或缺的因素。拥有滑板运动员感性和理念的街头品牌Supreme，受到全世界年轻人的支持。他们与许多品牌合作，激发年轻一代的收集欲望。千禧一代和Z世代毫不犹豫地将资金投入到他们喜欢的东西上。许多具有亚文化精神的公司和品牌正在引领这一潮流。

Hip-hop and skateboard culture which were only subcultures in the past are now an indispensable factor in talking about trends. The street brand Supreme, which has the sensibility and philosophy of skateboarders, is supported by young people around the world. They collaborate with many luxury brands which stimulates the desire of young generation to collect them. The millennials and generation Z does not hesitate to invest on the things they like. Many companies and brands which has the spirit of subcultures are leading the trend.

#Popmart#ArtToy#Blindbox#Unboxing

不同于动画或电影中的人物形象，艺术玩具是以艺术家的作品为基础，用3D形式制作出来的具有艺术感的人物。在中国，它们现在是最为热门的购买项目。千禧一代和Z世代喜欢享受爱好和表达个性的需求，使得这个市场正在迅速增长。过去，艺术玩具是一种只有少数人喜欢的文化，但千禧一代和Z世代不把钱花在业余爱好上，他们把这种收集艺术玩具的文化传播给了大众。

An art toy is a kind of figure which is produced in 3D form based on artist's work with an artistic sense added to the toy, unlike the animation or movie character figure. This art toy figure is the hottest shopping item in China, and this market is growing rapidly with the demand of the millennials and generation Z, which likes to enjoy hobbies and express their personality. In the past, art toy was a culture which only a few people enjoyed but millennials and generation Z who does not spare money for hobbies, has spread this culture of collecting art toys to public.

复古是一种持续数年的潮流，如今，年轻一代更注重将旧的潮流创造诠释为新事物，而不仅仅是发现旧的东西。千禧一代和 z 世代不怀念过去，但过去本身对他们很有吸引力。比起始终如一的文化，他们认为多样性和原创性是时髦的，他们没有经历过的内容是新出现的。

Retro is a trend that lasting for several years, and these days the younger generation focuses more on creating and interpreting the old trend to a new thing beyond just discovering old items. Millennials and generation Z are not nostalgic in the past, but 'past' itself can be attractive to them. They think that diversity and originality are trendy rather than consistent culture and the contents they have not experienced are coming up newly.

#UglyShoes#Balenciaga#Sneakers

Balenciaga在2017年发布了一款名为triple S的运动鞋，这是他们品牌之前从未见过的设计。它包含一个大的外底，一个不同成分的多层鞋帮，并被至少设计了3-4种颜色。triple S打开了ugly shoes的时代，因为设计得很像爸爸会穿的运动鞋，这种鞋也被称为“老爹鞋”。在不同品牌中，他们发布了代表“ugly shoes”的运动鞋，并变得非常流行。90年代是运动服装的全盛时期，许多品牌都使用技术重新推出当时热销的产品。这些款式不是根据铁杆趋势匆忙制造的，它蕴含着品牌悠久的传统。年轻一代对这些品牌的设计和故事充满热情。

These models are not made in a hurry according to the iron trend, containing the brand's long-standing heritage. The young generations are enthusiastic about the designs and stories of these brands.

#RetroRadio#RetroProduct#RetroInterior

千禧一代和Z世代在物质丰富的生活环境中长大，他们倾向于追求有价值的生活。在购买产品时，除了实用性，他们更喜欢独特性或故事化的产品。收音机曾经是记忆的产物，但最近又形成了以年轻消费者为中心的，复古收音机的新的消费趋势。集感性设计、故事性和多种功能于一体的复古收音机，成为年轻消费者喜爱的礼物，也是年轻一代想要拥有的室内配饰。

Millennials and generation Z who grew up in a materially rich living environment, tends to pursue a worthy life. They prefer products that are unique or story-like in addition to practicality when purchasing products. Radio was once a product of memories, but recently a new consumption trend for retro radio has been formed, centering on young consumers. Retro radio, which contains sensual design, story and various functions, became a gift that young consumers enjoy and an interior accessories which young generation would want in their home.

在认为环保就是性感的态度下，千禧一代和Z世代喜欢素食主义，觉得假皮草很新潮，甚至会考虑制作过程来购买化妆品。现在，企业已经读懂了这些市场趋势，并开始改变营销方式，只有注重可持续性而不是追求简单美的公司才能生存下来。

In the attitude of considering eco-friendly as sexy, the millennials and generation Z enjoys vegetarianism, considers fake fur trendy, and even buys cosmetic products by considering the process of making it. Now, companies have read these market trends and started to change marketing, and only companies with sustainability in mind rather than pursuing simple beauty survive.

#Patagonia#DoNotBuyThisJacket#Eco-friendly

Patagonia是一家以引领环境保护和自然保护而闻名的公司，他们发布了一则“不要买这件夹克”的广告，两年内销售额增长40%。年轻一代不是通过广告来购买Patagonia的产品，而是赞同他们的理念，即尽量减少对环境的破坏，追求公平交易，并且告知一件夹克的制作过程如何影响环境，通过商业来保护环境。

Patagonia is well known as a company that has been leading the environmental protection and nature conservation activities. They posted an advertisement called 'Do not buy this jacket' and sales increased by 40% in two years. Instead of advertising to buy their products, young generations sympathize with Patagonia's philosophy of minimizing environmental damage, pursuing fair trade, and preserving the environment through business by notifying how the process of making one jacket affects the environment.

#Freitag#UpCycling#Sustainability

Freitag品牌包包由卡车防水布、汽车安全带、废弃自行车橡胶管制作而成，是环境保护和循环再造的代表。它回收现有的废弃品，并通过添加不同的价值进行再创造。尽管售价高达200-600美元，但它目前有400家商店，去年的收入为10亿美元。

It is a representative brand of up-cycling that recycles existing discarded products and re-creates them by adding different values.

我们称这些年轻人为“中性”的一代，他们接受不同的种族、性别和文化背景，并承认其价值观。与上一代相比，千禧一代和Z世代更了解和熟悉那些与自己不同的人，他们对同性恋和跨性别问题也很感兴趣。他们没有按照别人设定的标准去调整自己，而是有一种接受和肯定现状的意识。

We call this young people as ‘gender neutral' generation who recognize various races, genders, and cultural backgrounds and admit their values. The millennials and generation Z are more familiar with people who are different from themselves than the previous generation, and they are interested in homosexuality and transgender issues. Rather than adjusting themselves to the standards set by others, they have a sense of accepting and affirming the way it is.

#GlobalPrideCrossing#AnimalCrossing

针对性少数群体的活动在任天堂游戏《动物之森》中举办，这款游戏在今年很受欢迎。由于时间和空间的限制，以前没有机会参加活动的人们，可以轻松地在虚拟空间中参与活动。

A campaign for sex minorities was held at the Nintendo game 'Animal Forest', which became very popular this year. Because of the limitations of space and time, people who did not have chance to participate in the campaign before, were able to easily get involved in the campaign in the virtual space.

#Non-BinaryEmoji#Memoji#Apple

苹果在其系统为每个表情符号添加了“性别中立”的选项。区分男人和女人的视觉元素被排除在外，比如头发的长度变为中等长度，并使用灰色，这样衣服的颜色就不会让人想起特定的性别。肤色也拓宽了选择范围，让用户选择与自己相似的颜色。苹果2019年推出的表情符号功能为更多种族和性别提供了多种选择，包括脸型、肤色、发型等，人们可以对苹果的性别和种族问题一目了然。

Apple added a 'gender neutral' options to every human emoji in its system. The visual elements that distinguish men and women were excluded, such as the length of the hair coming mid length and using gray color so that the color of the clothes would not be reminded of a specific gender. The skin color also broadened the range of choices which made users choose colors similar to themselves. The Memoji feature which Apple launched in 2019, offers a variety of options for more races and genders, including face shape, skin color, and hairstyles, giving a glimpse of Apple’s gender and racial issues.

数字原住民通常被称为“拥有智能手机的一代人”，智能手机的发展比其他任何技术都更主导着数字原住民的生活。他们熟悉互联网和IT，并且喜欢图像和视频内容，而非文本，喜欢手机而非电视机和计算机。视频是千禧一代和Z一代最突出的交流工具，他们把大部分时间花在YouTube上进行搜索、学习、消费和交流。YouTube已经成为他们不可或缺的服务。由于他们是通过视频学习和交流的一代人，许多公司利用影响力，在视频内容营销上投入大量的资金。在决定购买时，他们不是根据广告，而是通过各种渠道收集到的信息和经验来判断产品的价值。前几代人主要受老一辈人的影响，而这一代人则受年龄相近的影响者的影响。此外他们热衷于分享自己的兴趣和生产内容，他们可以被视为文化的消费者和生产者。

Digital natives are often called 'generations born with smartphones', and the development of smartphones dominates the life of digital natives more than any other technology. They are familiar with the internet and IT, and prefer images and video content than texts, smartphones rather than TVs and computers. The most prominent communication tool for millennials and generation Z is the video. They spend most of their time on YouTube in searching, learning, consuming and communicating. YouTube has become an indispensable service for them. Since they are a generation that learns and communicates through video, many companies invest a lot of money in video contents marketing using influencers. They judge the value of the product based on the information and experience collected through various channels rather than advertisement when deciding the purchase. While previous generations were mainly influenced by older generations, this generation is influenced by similar ages of influencers. In addition, they are familiar with sharing their interest and producing contents, and they can be seen as a consumer of culture and a producer.

#GucciGang#Youtube#Influencer

17岁的说唱歌手Lil Pump穿Gucci产品演唱的Gucci Gang，在Billboard排行榜上名列第三。他通过Facebook，Instagram和YouTube对这首歌进行各种视频营销。2017年，以“Gucci” 和 “Gucci-ish”为关键词的谷歌搜索量也高居时尚类榜首。当其他品牌担心自己的品牌形象会在网络空间受损时，Gucci在网络进行投资，使Gucci成为千禧一代和Z世代喜爱的品牌。

When other luxury brands worry that their brand image will be damaged in the online space, Gucci invest in online branding and made Gucci a brand loved by millennials and generation Z.

#Meme#TikTok#Challenge#Remix

通过摘录、模仿和再加工一些现有内容而产生的模因，是业余爱好者和粉丝自愿创作并传播到SNS的一种游戏文化。它像病毒一样迅速传播，并给分享相同模因的群体一种强烈的同质感。最近，它作为一种代表千禧一代和 z 一代的数字游戏文化受到了广泛关注。美国杂志《纽约客》称TikTok为模因工厂，TikTok在美的用户年龄60%为16到24岁之间，它是一款经过优化的应用程序，用户可以消费15秒左右的短视频，也可以自己制作内容。年轻人可以通过TikTok来复制和创造新的模因。TikTok不同的两个视频有多种混音，并且不同的人编辑相同的图像，可以产生新的，感觉不一样的图像。此外，“挑战”文化最近在TikTok变得流行起来。从表演特定任务，到舞蹈挑战，再到偶像歌曲，各式各样的挑战正在TikTok中举行。因此，千禧一代和Z世代正通过TikTok积极地引领内容市场。

The meme, which is created by excerpts, parody, and reprocessing some of the existing content, is consumed as a play culture that amateurs and fans voluntarily make and spread to SNS. It spreads rapidly like viruses and gives a strong sense of homogeneity to groups that share the same memes. Recently, it has been getting attention as a digital play culture representing the millennial and generation Z. The American magazine New Yorker also called the TikTok a meme factory, which the 60% of Tiktok users in US are 16 to 24 years old. TikTok is an app optimized to consume short videos of about 15 seconds or to produce content by oneself. Young people can reproduce memes or create new memes by using Tiktok. There are many remixes of two different videos of Tiktok, and new images are recreated in a different feeling depending on the person who edits the same images. In addition, the 'challenge' culture has recently become popular in Tiktok. Various types of challenges are being held, ranging from to perform a specific mission or dance challenge to dance to the songs of idols. As such, the millennials and generation Z is actively leading the content market through Tiktok.

千禧一代和 z 世代把消费看成是当前的满足感，而不是未来的储蓄，新的体验是必须的投资。即使减少了其他方面的开支，他们也会根据自己的心情和目的，投资消费一种不同寻常的、更加现实的体验。

The millennials and generation Z who focus on consumption for current satisfaction rather than savings for the future, new experiences are a must-investment. Even if they reduce the expenditure on other parts, they invest in consuming an unusual and more realistic experience depending on their mood and purpose.

Nike's marketing strategy is focused on the unforgettable experience of sports, not just selling sneakers, as young consumers who have experienced the pleasure of running on social media every day are constantly uploaded with photos that boast their running records.

千禧一代和Z世代追求理性消费，并首先倾向于投资自己。接受一个品牌的方式也取决于品牌所追求的价值，它所具有的风格，以及它与自身的契合程度。过去，品牌在战略上排斥流行文化，但现在他们正在针对年轻一代进行各种尝试。千禧一代和Z世代正在成为最有影响力的消费者，品牌需要的是能够直接吸引他们品味并带来乐趣的营销，而不是他们过去所追求的优雅的品牌战略。

The millennials and generation Z pursues rational consumption and tend to put investment on theirselves first. The way of accepting a brand is also selectively done depending on what value the brand pursues, what style it has, and how much it fits with themselves. In the past, luxury brands have strategically excluded pop culture, but now they are showing various attempts targeting the young generation. For the millennials and generation Z , who are emerging as the most influential consumer now, brands will need marketing that can directly attract their taste and give fun rather than the elegant brand strategy that they have pursued in the past.

Luxury brand Chanel opened a game center. When you enter this game center, you will find an interesting world where cosmetics and entertainment coexist. Chanel aimed at the effect of shoppertainment (shopping + entertainment) with the concept of a game arcade. Rather than inducing one-dimensional purchase of a brand product, it is important to make people experience the brand and to make a young image.

Lululemon

与其他时尚品牌不同，Lululemon强调通过品牌而不是产品本身获得体验。Lululemon有各种各样的项目，如瑜伽、冥想、现代舞和跑步，顾客可以定期参加，并一起享受锻炼和文化。Lululemon的 核心哲学是汗水生活，这是一种喜欢流汗，热爱生活的人的生活方式。千禧一代和Z世代更喜欢穿能让自己满意的衣服，而不是穿衣服给别人看，Lululemon品牌本身就能吸引到他们。现有的时尚服装市场总体呈下降趋势，但运动休闲服装市场在年轻一代中稳步增长。

Different from other fashion brands, Lululemon emphasizes the experience that can be gained through the brand than the product itself. Lululemon has various programs such as yoga, meditation, modern dance and running that customers can regularly participate in, and enjoys exercise and culture together. At the heart of Lululemon’s philosophy is sweat life, which means a lifestyle of people who love sweating and love their lives.

考虑到千禧一代和Z世代强调概念和故事的性格特征，许多公司为之创造了新的角色，并通过年轻人可以共情的故事与他们进行交流。 年轻人现在熟悉图像或视频而不是文字，他们通过创建自己的角色内容来引领新文化，并通过将自己喜欢的角色转化为“文化因子”来自愿推广。 此外，虚拟网红已经成为一种新的营销工具，以热衷于网红的年轻人为营销对象。

Considering the characteristics of the millennials and generation Z who emphasize concept and story, companies create new characters and communicate with young people through stories that they can sympathize with. These generations, who are familiar with images or videos rather than texts, lead a new culture by creating their own character contents and voluntarily promote the characters which they have affection by making it into memes. In addition, virtual influencers have become a new marketing tool to target young generations who are enthusiastic about influencers.

许多公司根据年轻一代的口味，使用角色IP内容来制作短视频。 最近，可以实时反馈用户响应并可以在社交平台上快速传播和轻松消费的短视频内容，已成为一种有效的营销工具。 它以机智的短片而不是长篇故事片吸引年轻的消费者。

Many companies use character IP contents to produce short forms of video according to the taste of younger generations. Recently, the short video content that can check the user's response in real-time and can be rapidly spread and consumed easily on SNS has become an effective marketing tool. It attracts young consumers with a witty short video rather than a long story video.

以BT21角色品牌为例，通过使用其角色IP在TikTok中制作模仿的格式，产生了大量与年轻一代的口味相匹配的内容，并受到年轻人的喜爱。 此外，它们还提供了用于粘贴TikTok视频内容的角色贴纸，使用户可以自然地在他们制作的内容中宣传角色。 以Spotify和华为为例，通过使用一些适合年轻一代口味的流行艺术家的人物IP分享短视频，将新的品牌形象传达给了这些世代。

In the case of Spotify and Huawei, the new brand image was conveyed to these generations by sharing short videos using some trendy artist’s character IP that suits the taste of the younger generation.

千禧一代和Z世代人都熟悉IT设备，他们很容易以数字形式绘制事物。 这些世代倾向于将自己的日常生活制作成短片，然后将其上传到社交平台上。 他们制作这些简短的动画片来表达自己的个性。 卡桑德拉卡林（Cassandracalin）和Min4rin则是根据作为女性的经历来日常创作。 他们的漫画获得了女性的大力支持和同情，并且还出版问世。 这些案例成为Instagram被认可为另一个网络卡通平台的开始。 以洋基基为例，他幽默地在自己的社交平台上刊登了关于“工作中非理性状况”的简短漫画。 随着千禧一代和Z世代的到来，他的故事已在工人群体中引发许多话题，而且这些内容已通过书籍、在线表情包、商品和广告的形式被大众消费。

The millennials and generation Z are familiar with IT devices that they easily draw things in a digital form. These generations tend to draw about their daily lives into a short cartoon and upload it in their own SNS. They produce this short form cartoon to express their personality. Cassandracalin and Min4rin draw their daily lives based on experiences as a woman. Their cartoons had gained a lot of support and sympathy from women and came out as a book. These cases become the start for Instagram to be recognized as another webtoon platform. In the case of Yangchikii, he humorously published a short cartoon on his SNS about an irrational situation at work. Along with the millennials and generation Z, his stories have become a lot of issues among workers, and these contents have been consumed through books, online stickers, goods, and advertisements.

千禧一代和Z世代人认为，表情包是一种新型的交流工具。 表情包是数字世界中独特的交流工具，可帮助清晰直观地表达情感并理解信息。 对于那些喜欢在不面对面的情况下进行交流的人来说，表情包已成为一种超越语言障碍的强大交流工具。 如今，千禧一代和Z世代使用表情包多于书写，他们甚至只使用表情包交谈。

Millennials and Generation Z thinks emoji as a new way of communication tool. Emoji is a unique communication tool in the digital world that helps to express emotions clearly and intuitively understand the message. For those who prefer to communicate without meeting face-to-face, emoji is emerging as a powerful communication tool beyond the barriers of language. Nowadays, millennials and generation Z use emoji more than writing. They even talk through using emojis only.

随着表情包成为一种新的交流工具，头像表情包通过将千禧一代及Z世代的个性和自我表达，而让AR技术进一步发展。 年轻一代使用他们自己的头像表情包来表达自己并创造新的文化。

As emoji became a new communication tool, avatar emoji evolved one step further by applying the personality and self-expression of the millennials and generation Z to AR technology. The younger generation uses their own avatar emojis in various contents to express themselves and create a new culture.

千禧一代和Z世代使用的在线表情包包含了小众情感的表达，而且他们更喜欢轻便且大致带有直观信息的表情包。 随着小众情绪表达的在线表情包变得流行，习惯了数字绘图的年轻一代倾向于自己制作在线表情包。 即使它不那么精致，但如果年轻人能够共情这个概念，它也会受到年轻人的喜爱。

The online stickers used by the millennials and generation Z contain B-class emotions. And they prefer the stickers which are light and roughly drawn with intuitive messages. As B-class style online sticker becomes popular, the younger generations who are accustomed to digital drawing tend to make online stickers themselves. Even if it is not a well-drawn, it can be loved by young people if they can sympathize with the concept. 

随着在线表情包在年轻一代中的流行，它已成为角色行业的重要组成部分。 由于个人可以在社交平台上出售在线表情包，因此出现了各种角色，受欢迎的角色则扩展到了角色商品业务。 这些角色IP可以通过快闪店、在线商店，甚至可以直接与各种品牌进行合作。

As online stickers became popular among the younger generation, it became a big part of the character industry. As individuals were able to sell online stickers on the SNS platform, various characters appeared and popular characters expanded to the character goods business. Pop-up stores, online stores, and even collaborations with various brands are being done with these character IPs. 

在千禧一代和Z世代的支持下，网络卡通市场急剧增长。网络卡通最近已成为制作电影、戏剧和游戏的主流内容。 随着全球OTT市场的扩展，具有良好故事和想法的网络卡通内容成为IP业务的机会。 网络卡通的流行，让《上帝之塔》和《高中之神》被制作成了动画。 它已经在全球发行，包括亚洲、美国和欧洲，并且在海外市场上有很多粉丝。 Itaewon类也是基于网络卡通在Netflix上制作的。 它在亚洲市场排名第一，并取得了巨大的成功。

The webtoon market has grown steeply based on the support of the millennials and generation Z. Webtoon has recently become mainstream content that was made into movies, dramas, and games. As the global OTT market expanded, webtoon contents with good stories and ideas became an opportunity in the IP contents business. The tower of God and the God of High School was made into an animation according to the popularity of Webtoon. It has been released all over the world, including Asia, the United States, and Europe, and has many fans in the overseas market. Itaewon class was also produced on Netflix based on Webtoon. It was ranked top in the Asia market and was a great success.

网络卡通IP在角色IP行业中占据很大一部分。 使用网络卡通IP设计的角色商品受到年轻一代的喜爱。 另外，各家公司与网络卡通IP进行合作以推广其品牌，因为它们可以自然地推广其产品并为消费者（尤其是年轻人）带来乐趣。

Webtoon IPs occupy a large portion in the character IP industry. The character goods designed with webtoon IPs are loved by the young generation. In addition, various companies collaborate with webtoon IPs to promote their brands because they can promote their products naturally and fun to consumers, especially to young people.

虚拟网红是由主要消费者群体的变化和科学技术的发展创造的一种新的数字IP趋势。 它们主要在Instagram，Twitter，Facebook和Snapchat等社交媒体上活跃。 即使他们不是真实的人，但却能通过与粉丝交流来表现自己，并且拥有大量的关注者。 这种虚构的特征已经成为利用社交媒体的公关市场的新趋势。

Virtual influencers are a new digital IP trend created by the changes in the main consumer group and the development of science and technology. They are mainly active on SNS such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat. Even though they are not the real person they act one by communicating with fans and have a significant number of social media followers. This fictional character has become a new major trend in the PR market utilizing social media.

在某些情况下，品牌会自己创造虚拟网红。 肯德基（KFC）创造的桑德斯上校（Colonel Sanders）使人想起了该公司的创始人形象，只不过看着更年轻一些。 韩国老牌饮料公司Binggrae创建了虚拟角色“ Binggraeus”。 Binggraeus有一个概念，他是做Instagram推广Binggrae品牌的王子，该品牌反映了年轻人喜欢的小众文化。 Binggraeus能够通过制作具有个性的各种文化因子，并通过与年轻人积极沟通，来自然地推广他们的产品。 这些有影响力的人显然正在将品牌推广给年轻一代，也被用作各种品牌活动的主要典范。

There are also cases that brands create virtual influencers themselves. KFC has created Colonel Sanders which reminds the founder of the company but in a young-looking. And Binggrae, which is the old beverage company in Korea, created the virtual character, ‘Binggraeus’. Binggraeus has a concept that he is the prince who does Instagram to promote the Binggrae brand which reflects the B-class culture that young people like. Binggraeus was able to promote the product naturally by making various memes with the character and actively communicates with young people. These virtual influencers are clearly promoting the brand to the young generation, and also are being used as the main model of various brand events.

图形设计趋势不断变化，以反映千禧一代和Z世代的特征。年轻的一代更喜欢他们能够直接体会到的机智或感性的图像，而不是精心打磨和精致的图像。 针对年轻人，可以快速应用于各种媒体的设计正在引领潮流。

Graphic design trends keep changing to reflect the characteristics of millennials and generation Z. This younger generation who prefer witty or sensual images that they can empathize with rather than well-polished and refined images. Targeting young people, designs that can be applied quickly to various media are leading the trend.

过去，品牌标识设计更加精致和不变，通常应用于印刷和应用程序。 但如今，媒体变得越来越多样化，品牌标识也正在转变为一种灵活的形式，可以适应这种变化。 许多品牌正在进行多种尝试，以在千禧一代和Z世代人身上打上烙印。

In the past, brand identity design was more refined and immutable and usually applied to print and applications. But these days, the media is becoming more diverse and brand identity is also changing into a flexible form that can be adapted to this change. A lot of brands are trying various attempts to imprint identity on millennials and generation Z generation.

A lot of brands tend to make short logo animation with their brand logos. The brand logos are not an unchangeable element in brand identity anymore. The brand identity can give a fun and easy impression to appeal to millennials and Generation Z. 

许多品牌倾向于使用其品牌logo制作简短的logo动画。 品牌logo已不再是品牌标识中不可更改的元素。 品牌形象可以给千禧一代和Z世代一个有趣轻松的印象。

随着数字平台的发展，海报也正在演变为移动海报。 由于千禧一代和Z世代都熟悉视频内容，因此他们对移动图形比对精致图像更感兴趣。 而且，与过去不得不将所有内容打印在一页上的情况有所不同，通过运动图形以更加有趣的方式显示更多信息变得更加容易，这也吸引了年轻一代的关注。

With the development of digital platforms, posters are also evolving into moving posters. Since millennials and generation Z are familiar with video content, they are more interested in moving graphics than refined images. And unlike in the past when we had to print everything on one page, it is easier to show more information in an interesting way through motion graphics which is also a point that young generations are attracted to. 

艾米莉·洛佩斯（EmilyLópez）的动态海报是由字体和复古图形组成的，感觉粗糙而怪诞。 罗伯托·华纳（Roberto Warner）的海报采用简单的版式和图纸制作而成，突出了艺术家希望使用动态图形显示的内容。 许多图形海报倾向于具有复古风格或由年轻一代喜欢的简单有趣的图形元素组成。

Emily López's moving poster is composed of type and retro graphics which feels rough and grotesque. Roberto Warner's poster is created with simple typography and drawings which highlights what the artist wants to show using motion graphics. A lot of graphic posters tend to have a retro style or composed of simple and fun graphic elements that young generations will like.

千禧一代和Z世代宁愿主动参与并独自体验新事物，而不是单方面看到信息。 许多设计师或艺术家试图通过使用诸如AR之类的新技术，使年轻一代参与他们的作品。 年轻一代对与他们互动的图形更感兴趣。

Millennials and Generation Z prefer to participate actively and experience new things on their own rather than seeing information unilaterally. Many designers or artists try to make the young generation participate in their works by using new technologies such as AR. The young generation feel more attracted to the graphics which they can interact with.

Agenda 2020和后印刷时代都是使观众参与到使用AR观看展览的项目，并且有很多使用AR技术的图形实验，使人们可以通过图形海报体验三维技术。 通过让人们积极参与该项目，自然地将品牌形象烙印于热衷有趣和新体验的年轻一代中。

And there are a lot of graphic experiments using AR technology to let people experience three-dimensional experience through graphic posters. By letting people actively participate in the project, it can naturally imprint the brand image on the younger generations who love interesting and new experiences.

过去，似乎只是由儿童绘制的类似涂鸦的图像往往不被认为是不错的图形。 但是，千禧一代和Z世代更喜欢以一种轻松自由的方式表达自己的情感和个性，他们倾向于将“涂鸦式的插画”视为一种时髦的图形。 有一点可以证明这种说法，许多希望得到千禧一代和Z世代支持的时装品牌都渴望与绘制涂鸦风格图形的插画家合作。

In the past, doodle-like images that seem to have just been drawn by a child could not be recognized as a nice graphic. However, the millennials and generation Z who prefer to express their emotions and individuality in an easy and free way tend to see doodle style Illustration as a trendy graphic. As proof of that, many fashion brands that want to be supported by the millennials and generation Z are eager to collaborate with illustrators who draw doodle style graphics.
