European Youth Trend Report: The Future Is HereTrendwolves
油
The European Youth Trend Report is the reference par excellence when it comes to European youth trends. The 300 pages book bundles figures, insights in and perceptions of trends on the market and among young people, all of which are illustrated with interviews by young influentials. Its more than just an observation of trends. Its a thorough and substantial trend analysis, not a mere collection of loose, fleeting visions but rather, a coordinated cohesion covering various characteristics and elements of youth culture. It tells the story of markets and consumers, unveils drivers and innovators and, by doing so, gives a glimpse of the future.
The yearly Bible of European youth culture offers tons of inspiration for business development, marketing, and product and service design. It triggers, inspires and is a great tool for each and every future-oriented company.
European Youth Trend Report: Bright UndergroundTrendwolves

Impelling in an unprecedented pace, youth culture is fuelled by a myriad of sociological and technological factors. The result is a continuously changing amalgam that can serve as a vast source of inspiration, but might be hard to grasp. So that is where we come in: defining trends in youth culture in a youthful, creative and compelling way.
Right at the very first start of Trendwolves in 2006, we chose to focus on the most exciting target group out there: youth. From the get-go, it has been our aim to connect clients to young people. To connect in innovative and meaningful manners, it is pivotal to understand the codes, practices, beliefs and expectations of the new generation. The best and most fruitful way to do so is by immersing in their worlds.
'Bright Underground', our European Youth Trend Report of 2015, is a crystallisation of the many informal chats, interviews, researches and random and less random meetings we partook with (mostly) European youngsters. We dont intend to depict mainstream youth culture. This report primarily characterises todays young drivers of change influencers. In tandem with what we have always emphasised, their broad diversity confirms that there is no unified, inclusive definition of the youngster.
In so doing, this report isnt so much a comprehensive overview of youth culture, as it is a wayward collection of ideas brought together under eight larger youth trends. Trends that reflect moods, behaviours and attitudes that are exceedingly gaining firm footing among large groups of young people. Henceforth, these trends will shape the nearby and in some cases, even the more distant future. As consumer trends tend to stick around for 5 years on average, we regularly flash back to trends delineated in previous reports.
Give ears to the voices of this new genera- tion of highly ambitious, ardent creative. Dare to reassess your world- views and business. And let their dreams inspire yours.
This document discusses characteristics of Generation Y (Gen Y) parents born between 1980-1994. Gen Y parents tend to have softer educational values than previous generations, wanting children to find happiness and a passionate career rather than focusing on degrees or salary. They feel aversion to inauthentic or "perfect traditional family" marketing clich辿s. Gen Y parents also don't want to be defined solely as a parent, and dislike being told how to parent or that products will make them better parents. Instead, they seek partners to help with customized solutions.

DREAMOTION
- slow dreaming in a fast moving world.-
Millennials have grown up in a torrent of bad news and images of doom that make it difficult to still believe in the future. They are losing their faith in how the world currently works. The generation that can re-invent itself at lightning speed, who grew up in a multi-screen culture and were exposed from birth to thousands of stimuli per day, even that generation craves stability, security and peace.
Youngsters want to enter a slow-motion mode and enjoy the beauty of boredom. Now retro gives them a dream of beauty and control, but nostalgia comes to an end. New heroes are creative entrepreneurs, crafters and networkers. Tribes with ideas and the guts to change the world. Brands need to be disruptive and focused on a better world to get their attention. Coolness is shifting towards kindness. Dont be cool be kind (and fucking mean it!).
Tom will provide you with insights in youth trends and possibilities for marketing and brands.

The document discusses trends related to food, including that food is becoming a social activity and source of identity. It notes food is seen as a craft and people identify with what they create. Finally, it discusses the "circle of food" concept about slowing the process of eating in a fast-paced world through local and organic farming, urban agriculture, and food-related social events.
This document discusses trends that are reshaping tourism, including shareability, usability, creativity, and dreamotion. Shareability refers to how people define themselves by what they share online and the power of collaboration. Usability focuses on easy-to-use options that allow people to pay just for what they need. Creativity explores niche tourism and connecting people. Dreamotion emphasizes slowing down and experiencing local areas through activities like organic farming. The overall message is that tourism is being reshaped to design livable cities and connect visitors through high-quality, customized experiences.
This document discusses the rise of private networks and the search for control. It touches on topics like dreams, slow motion video art, local heroes, and silent spots. The main points are that new private networks are emerging, with extra closed accounts catering to niche audiences using specific technologies. These private networks allow people to pay for extra value and gather exclusive groups of "cool people", forgetting the rest. Secrets can be shared within such private networks.

"The world of FMCG has always been very responsive to cycles in consumer lifestyle. In the blink of an eye your brand loses its sex appeal and customers decide to switch to those competitors that did jump on the bandwagon.
Its time to catch up.
Its time to call in the experts on trends in FMCG and consumer behavior.
We have invited Prof. Gino Van Ossel (Professor at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School) as the expert in the field of evolving shopping behavior.
Moreover, to fully understand whats ahead of us we have asked Tom Palmaerts (Trendwatcher & Youthwatcher at Trendwolves) who has interviewed 25.000 youngsters across Europe to disclose us his insights on what we have to be expecting."
