The arrival of the May 4th Youth Day may be the happiest thing for older children before the children's festival. Only with the discussion of the "post-91s middle-aged crisis" and the emergence of 21 million "empty nesters", this Youth Day seems to have more significance to be discussed.

Another kind of person who is in sharp contrast with the 1991s is the "Four Youths" who was born in the 1981s. "Ideal, morality, culture and discipline" is the goal of this generation. With the changes of the times, the post-91s generation, as the users of the economic achievements of reform and opening up, the beneficiaries of compulsory education and the one-child policy, and the users of the Internet and mobile phone terminal era, are changing the definition of youth labels with their own strength.

nowadays, we seldom label an outstanding teenager who has contributed to society as "patriotic" or "five stresses and four beauties". Then, what are the labels for the post-91 s generation who will not talk about poetry and distance at will, but also talk about independence and personal value?

1. Empty nesters

According to a recent survey, there are more than 58 million people living a "single life" in China. Among them, the number of young people living alone (21-39 years old) has reached 21 million. For a time, "empty nest youth" once again became a hot topic on the Internet.

what is an empty nester?

refers to those young people who choose to stay away from their hometown, relatives and friends and struggle in big cities alone. They seem to lack emotional sustenance and loneliness, which is no different from the object attributes generally referred to by hot words such as "ant tribe", "humble abode" and "leftover women". Chinese loneliness has obviously become a phenomenal product.

"I usually go to work alone, and I eat mainly by ordering takeout. When I have time, I chat with my friends on WeChat and play games. Although I often feel lonely, I rarely go shopping and watch movies together. " "Lonely like a dog, make friends with siri." Such a life style is normal among "empty nesters", and even a "loneliness rating map" with a lot of buzz is popular on the Internet.

But is the life of "empty nesters" really as empty, lonely and cold as the literal meaning? The Japanese TV series "Lonely Gourmet" has been broadcast for five years, and the man has been eating alone for five years, but such lonely behavior has touched the pain points of thousands of young people. A song by my good sister, "One Man's Beijing", which is dedicated to friends who are drifting in the north or have drifted in the north, has made many people fall into the depths and burst into tears?

Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish philosopher, once said, "People who have not cried at night are not enough to talk about life."

Although the group of "empty nesters" is growing, it will eventually become a mainstream of social ideology. In fact, this is not only a negative label, but also a brand-new way of life. Because we have reason to believe that "empty nesters" are empty nests.

2. * * * Enjoy the youth

The economic tide of * * * enjoyment caused by the economic downturn is like a dark horse. * * * enjoy a bicycle, * * * enjoy a car, * * * enjoy a house and * * * enjoy a charging treasure. For a time, * * * enjoy the economy and become a touch of light in the cold winter of capital.

after growing up in the new era of the 1991s, it has naturally become the core user group of the * * * enjoyment economy. The values of owning a house, a car and a stable job are obviously not respected by this generation. On them, there is a label called # * * * Enjoy Youth #.

Eating requires AA, transportation requires share, and renting a house without renting a single room requires sharing. In their opinion, everything that can be enjoyed by * * * is worth trying. Some people often criticize the post-91s generation, who have no sense of collective honor and pursue personal interests too much. Facts have proved that those who can ride bicycles to work know better how to make themselves look richer without anything. Make the best use of everything and make the best use of people, which is the way to win.

3. Slash youth

* * Under the economic system, young people no longer meet a normal lifestyle. In 2117, Marci Alboher, a columnist in The New York Times, USA, put forward the concept of Slash in her "Double Occupation", which specifically refers to a group of people who do not satisfy the lifestyle of "single occupation" but choose a diversified life with multiple occupations and identities. Slash youth has thus become another phenomenal label.

In the past, it may only take 1 minutes for us to introduce a person. Because now we are no longer guarding the "iron rice bowl" to live a two-point and one-line life, but are more idealistic, adventurous and willing to try new things. As a new professional product brought by the development of society, "slash youth" just evolved the past "ideal" into today's "unlimited".

undoubtedly, this is the best time. Because this era allows people to spend a lot of time and energy to "do nothing" and make dreams not just dreams. Fighting for financial resources and manpower is not as good as fighting for creativity as "slash youth".

4. Secondary two youths

"Secondary two youths" refer to those who suffer from "Secondary two diseases". This is a word from Japan, which is used to describe the saying that adolescents are too self-righteous, because most teenagers in the second grade of junior high school will have this characteristic, so it is called Secondary two diseases.

They usually like to watch cartoons and movies about heroism, and often regard themselves as the protagonists and saviors of the world. They are very different from the "other people's children" that parents often say, and even can be said to be a little rebellious "little adults." Clear self-assertion, unquestionable attitude towards life, and their world outlook are the product of the integration of the previous generation of education and the new generation of growth environment.

Some people say that they are alienated narcissists who are used to overemphasizing their own advantages in interpersonal communication. In their world, there is a clear scale of right and wrong, but it is never their own fault. You laugh at him for being crazy? He sighed that you couldn't see through it.

Now, "Secondary Two Disease" has become an "epidemic disease". However, people suffering from this disease are by no means limited to teenagers, but also refer to those who are overconfident and arrogant, feel incomprehensible and feel unfortunate.

5. Egoistic Youth

With the popularity of in the name of people, it not only brought fire to Dakang Li and Qi Tongwei, but also brought fire to a colorful term-exquisite egoist. This term with its own critical tonality has appeared in the public's field of vision as early as a few years ago, and it has become a derogatory term because of the media and public opinion.

what is an egoist? Usually refers to a group of people who have their own pursuit of life, not blindly pursuing material value, or even being carefully dressed or disguised. Of course, all their activities are centered on benefiting themselves. Some people say that they are people who lack faith and great love, and there are not a few people like the youth group.

But aren't egoistic youths good?

Professor Qian Liqun from the Chinese Department of Peking University once said, "They have a high IQ and a high education, and everything they do is reasonable and legal. They are sophisticated and sophisticated, but they know how to cooperate and how to use the power of the system to achieve their goals. "

As one of the most outstanding free thinkers in the 21th century, isaiah berlin once described "egoist" in this passage. He said: "this is a group of polite, decent, smart and charming people;" It is also the best person who is numb, respectable, eager to be used by society and combines indifference and elegance. "

6. Four No Youth

Congratulations, you have the patience to see here. Please complete the following fill-in-the-blank question before you continue reading.

the "four no-youth" means no _ _ _ _, no _ _ _ _ _, no _ _ _ _ _ _, and no _ _ _ _ _.

Some people say that the universal living conditions interpreted by the 1991s are pollution-free, no taboo, no borders and no cash. Although they are rebellious, and few people take "Lei Feng Spirit" as their motto, they are pollution-free, and sometimes they are even more polite than older people.

Similarly, today's young people have more opportunities to study abroad, and many people go abroad to study, broaden their horizons and master many languages. They are also the main consumers of outbound travel and overseas purchases. They hope to improve their knowledge and understand the customs of different countries through tourism. According to the survey, the average amount of money spent on tourism every year after 1991s is about 21% of the annual income, and nearly 7% admit to bearing the expenses alone.

in the era of all-round penetration of mobile internet payment, post-91s mobile phones are wallets. They are cashless youths, who go out without wallets and credit cards, but this does not mean that their spending power is low. A mobile phone, bound with N bank cards, whether it's going to the supermarket, shopping or coffee shop, can be done with a sweep.

As mentioned above, today's young people don't have any taboos about their career planning, and they don't like to live a life in which they only finish one job mechanically all their lives. Therefore, innovation is the serious matter of "four young people without".

no matter what kind of youth you belong to, and whether you are poked by these labels or not, youth has long been more than just a question of age. As the saying goes, there are no two identical leaves in the world. Everyone and everything are unique and cannot be defined by a simple label.

*** The Youth League says young people are under 28, the National Bureau of Statistics says young people are under 34, and the United Nations says young people are under 45. Anyway, please believe that you are still young. Nowadays, people with a young face and a middle-aged heart live everywhere. "Four young people" or "four young people", as long as you are always the rising sun in the morning.
