solution
While it may seem like teens are constantly glued to their phones, chasing likes and snapping selfies, today’s young adults are looking for more balance and zen than ever before. This year’s top trends for teens and young adults are mindfulness, financial wellness, and school-life balance while spending less time staring at screens. They’re looking for a mindset upgrade that keeps them happy, healthy, and focused on the future. Get ready to connect with Gen Z on a new level with these top trends for 2025. MINDFUL MOMENTS Mental health and well-being are at the top of teens’ to-do lists this year, and they’re embracing the newest technology alongside old-school self- care methods. Apps like Calm and Headspace help young people track their feelings and turn negative thoughts into tools for growth. Various apps are also available to help teens journal, meditate, or utilize AI to organize their lives. Gen Z also engages with digital resources that gamify and simplify self-care, making it fun and easy to develop a positive mindset. BUDGETING BEYOND THE BASICS Teens have buying power, making up a large portion of sales with online retailers and popular companies like Target, Sephora, and Grubhub. Young spenders want convenience, fast deliveries, and access to everything from concerts to gaming consoles. But they are also thinking about larger investments like cars, vacations, and college. As teens and young adults seek financial independence, they are working with financial planning apps like Current to help them create a budget and achieve savings goals. DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT Surprisingly, some of Gen Z are stepping away from constant screen time and social media updates. They seek more personal interactions and an escape from the stresses of crafting the perfect life on Instagram. Gen Z is tracking their time on apps, prioritizing social time or groups, and taking steps to prevent the urge to doom scroll. Apps that make it more challenging to use social media through programmed interventions like HabitLab and Moment hold them accountable for their social media habits.
