About Millennials and Generation Z

——————————

Intro 前言

很難界定千禧一代(生于20世紀80年代至2000年初)和 z 世代(生于1995年以后) ，但那些已成為當前消費市場中心的人與上一代有著不同的價值觀和文化品味。他們表現出的消費特征是強調個人幸福而非群體，分享而非持有，體驗而非產品。不僅僅是購買東西，他們傾向于通過購買包含社會價值觀和信息的東西來表達自己的信念，他們也喜歡展示自己的成功或財富，并且樂于投資昂貴的品。與老一輩為了一個遙遠的未來而犧牲了現在不同，他們關注的是現在。

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：在美國，千禧一代通常指的是出生于1980到21世紀初的人。對于千禧一代的界限有很多分歧，但2018年3月1日，《紐約時報》宣布，美國皮尤研究中心對1981年至1996年的千禧一代進行了定義。千禧一代也被稱為 Y 一代，意思是他們是 X 一代的下一代。因為熟悉 IT 技術,這一代人也被稱為技術一代。在《時代》雜志上，他們把這一代人稱為“自我一代” ，因為這一代人的思考和行動以自我為主。

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，在全球和美國市場上已占據最高人口比例，超過了千禧一代的人。目前，Z世代處于十幾歲到二十多歲的年齡段，他們被稱為數字原住民，不像千禧一代生長在模擬和數字文化的混合環境中，他們從小就接觸到數字環境。

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，我們將用6個能代表千禧一代和z世代的關鍵詞來總結他們的特征。其目的是了解處于趨勢中心的他們，解讀流動的變化，并預測未來。我們將以匹配每個關鍵詞的例子來研究年輕一代的特點。

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.

對于千禧一代和Z一代來說，被認為是某一特定階層的專有財產的文化，如向公眾傳播的游戲、動畫和科幻電影等，已經成為他們生活的一部分。品牌歷來在戰略上排斥流行文化，但他們目前正試圖通過針對千禧一代和 z 世代的各種合作以反映年輕一代的品味和文化。

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

嘻哈和滑板在過去只是亞文化，現在成為談論潮流不可或缺的因素。擁有滑板運動員感性和理念的街頭品牌Supreme，受到全世界年輕人的支持。他們與許多品牌合作，激發年輕一代的收集欲望。千禧一代和Z世代毫不猶豫地將資金投入到他們喜歡的東西上。許多具有亞文化精神的公司和品牌正在引領這一潮流。

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

不同于動畫或電影中的人物形象，藝術玩具是以藝術家的作品為基礎，用3D形式制作出來的具有藝術感的人物。在中國，它們現在是最為熱門的購買項目。千禧一代和Z世代喜歡享受愛好和表達個性的需求，使得這個市場正在迅速增長。過去，藝術玩具是一種只有少數人喜歡的文化，但千禧一代和Z世代不把錢花在業余愛好上，他們把這種收集藝術玩具的文化傳播給了大眾。

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.

復古是一種持續數年的潮流，如今，年輕一代更注重將舊的潮流創造詮釋為新事物，而不僅僅是發現舊的東西。千禧一代和 z 世代不懷念過去，但過去本身對他們很有吸引力。比起始終如一的文化，他們認為多樣性和原創性是時髦的，他們沒有經歷過的內容是新出現的。

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年發布了一款名為triple S的運動鞋，這是他們品牌之前從未見過的設計。它包含一個大的外底，一個不同成分的多層鞋幫，并被至少設計了3-4種顏色。triple S打開了ugly shoes的時代，因為設計得很像爸爸會穿的運動鞋，這種鞋也被稱為“老爹鞋”。在不同品牌中，他們發布了代表“ugly shoes”的運動鞋，并變得非常流行。90年代是運動服裝的全盛時期，許多品牌都使用技術重新推出當時熱銷的產品。這些款式不是根據鐵桿趨勢匆忙制造的，它蘊含著品牌悠久的傳統。年輕一代對這些品牌的設計和故事充滿熱情。

Balenciaga released a sneaker called triple S in 2017, which was a design that had not been seen in their brand before.

In various brands, they released sneakers representing ugly shoes and became very popular. The 90s was the heyday of sportswear, and many brands are relaunching popular products sold at the time with added current technology. 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世代在物質豐富的生活環境中長大，他們傾向于追求有價值的生活。在購買產品時，除了實用性，他們更喜歡獨特性或故事化的產品。收音機曾經是記憶的產物，但最近又形成了以年輕消費者為中心的，復古收音機的新的消費趨勢。集感性設計、故事性和多種功能于一體的復古收音機，成為年輕消費者喜愛的禮物，也是年輕一代想要擁有的室內配飾。

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.

在認為環保就是性感的態度下，千禧一代和Z世代喜歡素食主義，覺得假皮草很新潮，甚至會考慮制作過程來購買化妝品。現在，企業已經讀懂了這些市場趨勢，并開始改變營銷方式，只有注重可持續性而不是追求簡單美的公司才能生存下來。

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是一家以引領環境保護和自然保護而聞名的公司，他們發布了一則“不要買這件夾克”的廣告，兩年內銷售額增長40%。年輕一代不是通過廣告來購買Patagonia的產品，而是贊同他們的理念，即盡量減少對環境的破壞，追求公平交易，并且告知一件夾克的制作過程如何影響環境，通過商業來保護環境。

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品牌包包由卡車防水布、汽車安全帶、廢棄自行車橡膠管制作而成，是環境保護和循環再造的代表。它回收現有的廢棄品，并通過添加不同的價值進行再創造。盡管售價高達200-600美元，但它目前有400家商店，去年的收入為10億美元。

The brand Freitag represents eco-friendly and up-cycling by making bags with truck waterproof fabrics, seat belts for cars, and rubber tubes for waste bicycles. It is a representative brand of up-cycling that recycles existing discarded products and re-creates them by adding different values. Despite the high-priced bag of 200 - 600 USD, it currently has 400 stores and revenue of 1 billion USD last year.

我們稱這些年輕人為“中性”的一代，他們接受不同的種族、性別和文化背景，并承認其價值觀。與上一代相比，千禧一代和Z世代更了解和熟悉那些與自己不同的人，他們對同性戀和跨性別問題也很感興趣。他們沒有按照別人設定的標準去調整自己，而是有一種接受和肯定現狀的意識。

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

針對性少數群體的活動在任天堂游戲《動物之森》中舉辦，這款游戲在今年很受歡迎。由于時間和空間的限制，以前沒有機會參加活動的人們，可以輕松地在虛擬空間中參與活動。

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

蘋果在其系統為每個表情符號添加了“性別中立”的選項。區分男人和女人的視覺元素被排除在外，比如頭發的長度變為中等長度，并使用灰色，這樣衣服的顏色就不會讓人想起特定的性別。膚色也拓寬了選擇范圍，讓用戶選擇與自己相似的顏色。蘋果2019年推出的表情符號功能為更多種族和性別提供了多種選擇，包括臉型、膚色、發型等，人們可以對蘋果的性別和種族問題一目了然。

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.

數字原住民通常被稱為“擁有智能手機的一代人”，智能手機的發展比其他任何技術都更主導著數字原住民的生活。他們熟悉互聯網和IT，并且喜歡圖像和視頻內容，而非文本，喜歡手機而非電視機和計算機。視頻是千禧一代和Z一代最突出的交流工具，他們把大部分時間花在YouTube上進行搜索、學習、消費和交流。YouTube已經成為他們不可或缺的服務。由于他們是通過視頻學習和交流的一代人，許多公司利用影響力，在視頻內容營銷上投入大量的資金。在決定購買時，他們不是根據廣告，而是通過各種渠道收集到的信息和經驗來判斷產品的價值。前幾代人主要受老一輩人的影響，而這一代人則受年齡相近的影響者的影響。此外他們熱衷于分享自己的興趣和生產內容，他們可以被視為文化的消費者和生產者。

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歲的說唱歌手Lil Pump穿Gucci產品演唱的Gucci Gang，在Billboard排行榜上名列第三。他通過Facebook，Instagram和YouTube對這首歌進行各種視頻營銷。2017年，以“Gucci” 和 “Gucci-ish”為關鍵詞的谷歌搜索量也高居時尚類榜首。當其他品牌擔心自己的品牌形象會在網絡空間受損時，Gucci在網絡進行投資，使Gucci成為千禧一代和Z世代喜愛的品牌。

A 17-year-old rapper Lil Pump who is wearing Gucci products all over his body sang Gucci Gang and has reached number 3 on the Billboard charts. He conducted various video marketing through Facebook, Instagram and YouTube with this song.

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

通過摘錄、模仿和再加工一些現有內容而產生的模因，是業余愛好者和粉絲自愿創作并傳播到SNS的一種游戲文化。它像病毒一樣迅速傳播，并給分享相同模因的群體一種強烈的同質感。最近，它作為一種代表千禧一代和 z 一代的數字游戲文化受到了廣泛關注。美國雜志《紐約客》稱TikTok為模因工廠，TikTok在美的用戶年齡60%為16到24歲之間，它是一款經過優化的應用程序，用戶可以消費15秒左右的短視頻，也可以自己制作內容。年輕人可以通過TikTok來復制和創造新的模因。TikTok不同的兩個視頻有多種混音，并且不同的人編輯相同的圖像，可以產生新的，感覺不一樣的圖像。此外，“挑戰”文化最近在TikTok變得流行起來。從表演特定任務，到舞蹈挑戰，再到偶像歌曲，各式各樣的挑戰正在TikTok中舉行。因此，千禧一代和Z世代正通過TikTok積極地引領內容市場。

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 世代把消費看成是當前的滿足感，而不是未來的儲蓄，新的體驗是必須的投資。即使減少了其他方面的開支，他們也會根據自己的心情和目的，投資消費一種不同尋常的、更加現實的體驗。

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.

#GentleMonster#CultureExperience#RetailExperience

#NRC#Nike+RunClub#SNS#BrandExperience

Nike通過各種營銷活動，提供令人愉悅的跑步體驗，引領跑步趨勢。在每年都舉辦高水平跑步活動，并且可以與專業教練和參與者一起訓練的Nike + Run Club上，根據不同的距離、速度和水平等技能，Nike為跑步者提供定制的跑步程序。Nike的營銷策略注重運動的難忘體驗，而不僅僅是銷售運動鞋，因為那些體驗到跑步樂趣的年輕消費者會在社交媒體上，不斷上傳展示自己跑步記錄的照片。

Nike is leading the running trend through various marketing activities that provide a pleasant running experience. Nike + Run Club, which hosts the highest level of running events every year and can train with professional trainers and participants, provides customized running programs for various runners according to their skills such as distance, speed and level. 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世代追求理性消費，并首先傾向于投資自己。接受一個品牌的方式也取決于品牌所追求的價值，它所具有的風格，以及它與自身的契合程度。過去，品牌在戰略上排斥流行文化，但現在他們正在針對年輕一代進行各種嘗試。千禧一代和Z世代正在成為最有影響力的消費者，品牌需要的是能夠直接吸引他們品味并帶來樂趣的營銷，而不是他們過去所追求的優雅的品牌戰略。

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.

Chanel Game Center

品牌Chanel開了一家游戲中心，當你進入這個游戲中心，你會發現一個化妝品與娛樂共存的世界。以游戲機為概念，Chanel的目的是購物+娛樂。比起引誘人們對品牌進行單次性購買，重要的是讓他們體驗品牌并塑造一個年輕的形象。質量和苛性比固然重要，但是針對千禧一代和Z世代，品牌體驗是否有吸引力和是否有樂趣更重要。

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. The quality and caustic ratio are important, but it is more important whether the brand experience is attractive and fun to target the millennials and generation Z.

Louis Vuitton x NIGO

Louis Vuitton設計師Virgil Abloh和NIGO（日本街頭時尚的傳奇人物和Human Made的創始人）進行了一次合作。NIGO曾為日本代表性街頭品牌Bape工作，Humanmade是NIGO于2010年創立的服裝品牌，正在推出基于日常主題的美國復古休閑服裝。這一合作，是通過Louis Vuitton 2020年秋季前系列外觀手冊公布的，由標題為LV2的設計產品組成，用Nigo的風格表達Louis Vuitton的特征。當這兩個在高級時裝和街頭品牌領域處于領先地位的品牌打破界限，展現出前所未有的融合，千禧一代和Z一代都非常喜歡。

Burberry

掉落式銷售策略是指，通過一些商店或社交網絡以驚人的方式銷售限量版或小批量生產的產品。受Supreme等街頭品牌投放策略的啟發，Burberry每月17日推出一款針對年輕一代口味，僅限于線上銷售的新產品。掉落式銷售策略是一種能夠滿足千禧一代和Z世代渴望擁有特殊產品需求的策略。

The sales strategy called drop refers to the way in which limited editions or products made in small quantities are sold in a surprise manner through some stores or social networks.

PALACE

PALACE是一個以滑板服裝為主，對年輕人有很大影響的英國街頭品牌，在英國被稱為“Superme”。PALACE使用街頭文化經常引用的復古元素來打造品牌形象。PALACE 公司有意通過模擬VHC(家庭視頻系統)的拍攝方式進行市場營銷。他們還通過模仿不同的品牌或制作看起來像是開玩笑的產品說明頁，來迎合想要獨特和新鮮事物的，年輕一代的口味。通過這些營銷，PALACE得到了喜歡復古和街頭文化的年輕一代的好評。

Through these marketing, PALACE has got a good response from the younger generation who like retro and street culture.

Lululemon

與其他時尚品牌不同，Lululemon強調通過品牌而不是產品本身獲得體驗。Lululemon有各種各樣的項目，如瑜伽、冥想、現代舞和跑步，顧客可以定期參加，并一起享受鍛煉和文化。Lululemon的 核心哲學是汗水生活，這是一種喜歡流汗，熱愛生活的人的生活方式。千禧一代和Z世代更喜歡穿能讓自己滿意的衣服，而不是穿衣服給別人看，Lululemon品牌本身就能吸引到他們。現有的時尚服裝市場總體呈下降趨勢，但運動休閑服裝市場在年輕一代中穩步增長。

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. The branding of Lululemon alone could appeal to the millennials and generation Z who prefer to wear which can satisfy themselves rather than to wear clothes to show others. The existing fashion apparel market is declining overall, but the athleisure wear market is steadily growing in the young generation.

CocaCola NewCoke x Stranger Things

1985年，可口可樂推出一種新配方贏得了百事可樂的競爭，但由于現有消費者的強烈反對，新配方在上市三個月后就停止了生產。30年后，這款新可樂隨Netflix電視劇《怪奇物語3》回歸。30年前沒體驗過新可樂的年輕一代通過這部劇對新可樂的味道產生了好奇，可口可樂通過一家特殊的彈出式商店復制了新可樂的配方以及設計，并對這款限量版新可樂進行銷售。

For them, Facebook messengers are gaining huge popularity by making them feel if they were next to each other without actually having to meet friends in real.

Zenly

Zenly 是在一款基于谷歌地圖的社交網絡信息服務，它在青少年中很受歡迎。Zenly 有一項普通messenger服務沒有的獨特的功能。如果你使用Zenly ，你可以獲知你朋友的位置，速度和剩余電量，當你與朋友相遇時，APP警報會顯示你正在遇見他的事實。 Zenly 在Z世代中如此受歡迎的原因是，其他幾代人經常認為分享自己的位置是對隱私的侵犯，而年輕一代則認為共享位置很有趣，可以確認與朋友的關系。

Zenly is a social network messenger service based on Google Maps and is popular among teenagers. It has cute and simple interfaces and various functions which younger generation likes. Zenly has unique functions that are not available in ordinary messenger services. If you use Zenly, you are able to know the location, speed, and remaining battery amount of registered friends, and when you meet friends, the app alarm shows the fact that you met them. The reason why Zenly is so popular among generation Z was that other generations often thought that sharing one's location is an invasion of privacy, while younger generation reckon sharing the location is considered fun and confirm the relationship with friends.

考慮到千禧一代和Z世代強調概念和故事的性格特征，許多公司為之創造了新的角色，并通過年輕人可以共情的故事與他們進行交流。 年輕人現在熟悉圖像或視頻而不是文字，他們通過創建自己的角色內容來引領新文化，并通過將自己喜歡的角色轉化為“文化因子”來自愿推廣。 此外，虛擬網紅已經成為一種新的營銷工具，以熱衷于網紅的年輕人為營銷對象。

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.

許多公司根據年輕一代的口味，使用角色IP內容來制作短視頻。 最近，可以實時反饋用戶響應并可以在社交平臺上快速傳播和輕松消費的短視頻內容，已成為一種有效的營銷工具。 它以機智的短片而不是長篇故事片吸引年輕的消費者。

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角色品牌為例，通過使用其角色IP在TikTok中制作模仿的格式，產生了大量與年輕一代的口味相匹配的內容，并受到年輕人的喜愛。 此外，它們還提供了用于粘貼TikTok視頻內容的角色貼紙，使用戶可以自然地在他們制作的內容中宣傳角色。 以Spotify和華為為例，通過使用一些適合年輕一代口味的流行藝術家的人物IP分享短視頻，將新的品牌形象傳達給了這些世代。

In the case of the BT21 character brand, by producing a parody the format in Tiktok using their character IP, they produce contents that match the tastes of the younger generations and get their favorable feeling. In addition, they provide character stickers to be used for editing Tiktoc video contents that allow users to naturally promote the characters in the contents they make. 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設備，他們很容易以數字形式繪制事物。 這些世代傾向于將自己的日常生活制作成短片，然后將其上傳到社交平臺上。 他們制作這些簡短的動畫片來表達自己的個性。 卡桑德拉卡林（Cassandracalin）和Min4rin則是根據作為女性的經歷來日常創作。 他們的漫畫獲得了女性的大力支持和同情，并且還出版問世。 這些案例成為Instagram被認可為另一個網絡卡通平臺的開始。 以洋基基為例，他幽默地在自己的社交平臺上刊登了關于“工作中非理性狀況”的簡短漫畫。 隨著千禧一代和Z世代的到來，他的故事已在工人群體中引發許多話題，而且這些內容已通過書籍、在線表情包、商品和廣告的形式被大眾消費。

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世代人認為，表情包是一種新型的交流工具。 表情包是數字世界中獨特的交流工具，可幫助清晰直觀地表達情感并理解信息。 對于那些喜歡在不面對面的情況下進行交流的人來說，表情包已成為一種超越語言障礙的強大交流工具。 如今，千禧一代和Z世代使用表情包多于書寫，他們甚至只使用表情包交談。

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.

隨著表情包成為一種新的交流工具，頭像表情包通過將千禧一代及Z世代的個性和自我表達，而讓AR技術進一步發展。 年輕一代使用他們自己的頭像表情包來表達自己并創造新的文化。

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世代使用的在線表情包包含了小眾情感的表達，而且他們更喜歡輕便且大致帶有直觀信息的表情包。 隨著小眾情緒表達的在線表情包變得流行，習慣了數字繪圖的年輕一代傾向于自己制作在線表情包。 即使它不那么精致，但如果年輕人能夠共情這個概念，它也會受到年輕人的喜愛。

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. 

隨著在線表情包在年輕一代中的流行，它已成為角色行業的重要組成部分。 由于個人可以在社交平臺上出售在線表情包，因此出現了各種角色，受歡迎的角色則擴展到了角色商品業務。 這些角色IP可以通過快閃店、在線商店，甚至可以直接與各種品牌進行合作。

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，網絡卡通市場急劇增長。網絡卡通最近已成為制作電影、戲劇和游戲的主流內容。 隨著全球OTT市場的擴展，具有良好故事和想法的網絡卡通內容成為IP業務的機會。 網絡卡通的流行，讓《上帝之塔》和《高中之神》被制作成了動畫。 它已經在全球發行，包括亞洲、美國和歐洲，并且在海外市場上有很多粉絲。 Itaewon類也是基于網絡卡通在Netflix上制作的。 它在亞洲市場排名第一，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.

網絡卡通IP在角色IP行業中占據很大一部分。 使用網絡卡通IP設計的角色商品受到年輕一代的喜愛。 另外，各家公司與網絡卡通IP進行合作以推廣其品牌，因為它們可以自然地推廣其產品并為消費者（尤其是年輕人）帶來樂趣。

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.

虛擬網紅是由主要消費者群體的變化和科學技術的發展創造的一種新的數字IP趨勢。 它們主要在Instagram，Twitter，Facebook和Snapchat等社交媒體上活躍。 即使他們不是真實的人，但卻能通過與粉絲交流來表現自己，并且擁有大量的關注者。 這種虛構的特征已經成為利用社交媒體的公關市場的新趨勢。

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.

在某些情況下，品牌會自己創造虛擬網紅。 肯德基（KFC）創造的桑德斯上校（Colonel Sanders）使人想起了該公司的創始人形象，只不過看著更年輕一些。 韓國老牌飲料公司Binggrae創建了虛擬角色“ Binggraeus”。 Binggraeus有一個概念，他是做Instagram推廣Binggrae品牌的王子，該品牌反映了年輕人喜歡的小眾文化。 Binggraeus能夠通過制作具有個性的各種文化因子，并通過與年輕人積極溝通，來自然地推廣他們的產品。 這些有影響力的人顯然正在將品牌推廣給年輕一代，也被用作各種品牌活動的主要典范。

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.

圖形設計趨勢不斷變化，以反映千禧一代和Z世代的特征。年輕的一代更喜歡他們能夠直接體會到的機智或感性的圖像，而不是精心打磨和精致的圖像。 針對年輕人，可以快速應用于各種媒體的設計正在引領潮流。

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.

過去，品牌標識設計更加精致和不變，通常應用于印刷和應用程序。 但如今，媒體變得越來越多樣化，品牌標識也正在轉變為一種靈活的形式，可以適應這種變化。 許多品牌正在進行多種嘗試，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. 

許多品牌傾向于使用其品牌logo制作簡短的logo動畫。 品牌logo已不再是品牌標識中不可更改的元素。 品牌形象可以給千禧一代和Z世代一個有趣輕松的印象。

隨著數字平臺的發展，海報也正在演變為移動海報。 由于千禧一代和Z世代都熟悉視頻內容，因此他們對移動圖形比對精致圖像更感興趣。 而且，與過去不得不將所有內容打印在一頁上的情況有所不同，通過運動圖形以更加有趣的方式顯示更多信息變得更加容易，這也吸引了年輕一代的關注。

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）的動態海報是由字體和復古圖形組成的，感覺粗糙而怪誕。 羅伯托·華納（Roberto Warner）的海報采用簡單的版式和圖紙制作而成，突出了藝術家希望使用動態圖形顯示的內容。 許多圖形海報傾向于具有復古風格或由年輕一代喜歡的簡單有趣的圖形元素組成。

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世代寧愿主動參與并獨自體驗新事物，而不是單方面看到信息。 許多設計師或藝術家試圖通過使用諸如AR之類的新技術，使年輕一代參與他們的作品。 年輕一代對與他們互動的圖形更感興趣。

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和后印刷時代都是使觀眾參與到使用AR觀看展覽的項目，并且有很多使用AR技術的圖形實驗，使人們可以通過圖形海報體驗三維技術。 通過讓人們積極參與該項目，自然地將品牌形象烙印于熱衷有趣和新體驗的年輕一代中。

Agenda 2020 and post-print are both projects that involve audiences to view exhibitions using AR. And there are a lot of graphic experiments using AR technology to let people experience three-dimensional experience through graphic posters.
