Millennial trends 2015

You've probably seen the word "cheugy" making rounds on TikTok lately. After all, TikTokers are using the term to describe a whole slew of things related to millennials, ranging from clothes to Instagram captions. If you've seen the term popping up in popular videos, you've probably been wondering what exactly cheugy means. The definition of this viral term is steeped in millennial culture, and here's why it's all over TikTok. According to Know Your Meme, cheugy is all about describing something that's "the intersection of millennial, girlboss, and out-of-style cringe." To give you an idea of what that looks like, you'll want to check out the March 30 video by TikToker Hallie Cain (@webkinzwhore143) explaining the term. In the viral video, Cain explains that things that show off the "millennial or girlboss energy" of cheugy include out-of-date graphic T-shirts, phrases on clothes, Herbal Essences shampoo, and quoting Taylor Swift in Instagram captions like, "I'm feelin' 22," on your 22nd birthday. Basically, anything millennials thought was hip throughout the 2000s is cheugy.Further defining cheugy, an Urban Dictionary entry for the term from 2018 says it's "the opposite of trendy." Cheugy is used to described someone who "follows out-of-date trends," including fashion (see: Uggs), social media use, and slang. Michael Kovac/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesMany attempts have been made to pin down what items are and aren't cheugy, but as New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz put it an April 29 article about the viral TikTok term, "You know it when you see it." Cheugy was actually coined in 2013 by Gabby Rasson, per The New York Times. Rasson told the publication she created the word in high school to "describe people who were slightly off trend." She said there was nothing to describe it, and "cheugy" just "came to [her]." Rasson also

People love to love the '90s. But believe it or not, the decade that brought us slip dresses and chokers actually came with a lot of bad trends, too. There were honestly some '90s fashion mistakes that everyone made at the time, and that now color the era in many of our memories. It was a time when the fashion was diverse and the styling was a tad bit horrendous, but no one yet knew it. As good as you might want to believe the trends were back then, you may be forgetting a few terrible fads.Sure, the '90s are responsible for some of the best trends of today, but everything else going down has kind of become one big blur. Don't get me wrong: I love the decade as much as any other Millennial. I'm all about a good brown lip color and a pair of Dr. Martens. But there are a few trends that I think should be erased from the history books as far as style goes. Don't let today's cute jelly sandals and tartan revolution fool you: The '90s weren't all great.Some of us might have been rocking cool kid grunge or Cher Horowitz plaids. But others were all about the wallet chains and bucket hats, both of which were total '90s territory. So here are all of the fashion mistakes that you probably made at some point between 1990 and '99.1.

Suburban zones likely to provide more space for their growing families. What are the major trends happening with Millennials? Raising Gen Alpha. As Millennials build up their families, brands cannot forget that this consumer group is raising the next generation– Generation Alpha. The shopping behaviors Millennials have will influence what their children will do in the future and brands will need to meet the consumer where they are.For example, take online shopping. Over a fourth (27%) of Millennial spending goes to online when they start their families. However, as their children grow older, Millennials become less dependent on purchasing products online. Brands that target younger households will need to determine how to adjust their distribution and retail strategy to address this omnichannel dynamic. More memberships, more problems. Subscriptions have become the base model for many companies. From video streaming to retail loyalty programs, Millennial consumers are engaging with membership programs the most out of any generation, with half of households (49%) having a membership at a club retailer such as Costco or Sam’s Club. The opportunity to expand subscription offerings exist as Millennials are nearly 20% more likely to be open to signing up for more memberships compared to the total US. However, the current programs today do not fully address the needs of Millennials as they were less likely to be happy with the memberships they pay for. In fact, through Numerator’s verified purchasing data, Millennials were 30% more likely compared to total US to be lapsed Walmart+ users. Those looking to offer subscription programs will need to understand the driving forces for long-term customer retention. Gamer nation. Millennials define the gaming community. Millennials are nearly twice as likely compared to the total US to be using the latest generation of consoles for gaming and nearly 1 in 4 Millennials (22%) consider themselves casual gamers. In 2023, over 1 million Millennials purchased a Nintendo Switch and another 1 million purchased a Playstation 5– the highest of any generation and four times more than adult Gen Z households.Millennials overindex on playing games that drive communities such as multiplayer online battle

Much has been said about Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers, but what about Generation Z? When it comes to the sports industry, teams and sponsors may have to up their games to effectively connect with the latest consumers to reach adulthood and the ones soon to be having bank accounts of their own.Generation Z, also known as the post-Millennial generation, includes those born 1997 to 2015. Much like Millennials, Gen Z’ers grew up with the Internet, mobile phones and social media. But when it comes to sports engagement, the adults (ages 18-20) in this group are more interested in professional basketball and soccer than older adults, and they’re less interested in professional football, baseball and golf than their predecessors.This generation is also more likely to play basketball and soccer, but running, swimming and biking are this group’s most popular sports activities. In terms of engagement, name brands have a great opportunity with Generation Z, as generics don’t have as much appeal as they do with older adults, according to research from Nielsen Scarborough. In fact, post-Millennial consumers are less likely to say they believe generic or store brand products are effective and more likely to say that a brand name is an indication of quality. Gen Z is 59% more likely than the general population to connect with brands through social networking sitesWhen it comes to influencing purchases of those brand name products by Generation Z, a celebrity endorser resonates with this group more so than others, making the case for the sponsorship of star athletes, musicians and actors.Generation Z is also most receptive to connecting with brands through social networking sites, 59% more likely than the general population.
