Prominent trends that will make Gen Z's life more exciting in 2023

Gen Z is considered the generation of the digital age. It is undeniable that this is a dynamic young generation. Taking advantage of being born in the technology age, having early access to multi-dimensional information, Gen Z has a clearer future orientation.

Through efforts, attempts and self-affirmation, Gen Z is more successful than previous generations at the same age.

Here are some prominent trends that will make Gen Z's life more vibrant in 2023, according to Lifestyleasia:

"My own boss" working style

It’s no exaggeration to say that one of the top trends for Gen Z in 2023 is “being your own boss.” According to a Forbes report, Gen Z workers are all about work-life balance. Only about 40% of Gen Z prioritize work over anything else.

About 33% say working remotely has affected Gen Z's quality of life. They want the right perks, benefits, and tools to work more efficiently.

Towards green, sustainable choices

Gen Z consumers are interested in choosing green, sustainable brands. Many young people are against the fast fashion movement, which is causing landfills to be filled with fabric waste.

Even when it comes to cosmetics, young people want to choose brands that are ethically conscious and prioritize sustainability. Gen Z is willing to go the extra mile and pay more for products that are environmentally friendly and have a reduced impact on the environment.

Concerned about climate change

Caring about climate change and asking people to take a strong stance on the issue is one of the top Gen Z trends of 2023.

Many young people are actively involved in movements and speaking out about climate change. They want to take action that will bring about positive change that will benefit future generations and the planet.

Two in three millennials surveyed on Instagram are interested in buying beauty products with built-in sun protection. They want to protect themselves from harmful rays and invest in a skincare routine as the weather gets hotter.

Take care of your mental health

There’s no denying that everything that’s happening around us has a direct impact on our mental health. From news of sexual assault, climate change, to mass shootings… it’s becoming overwhelming for many young people.

Many Gen Zers complain about mental health issues. They see it as a major factor affecting their quality of life, work performance, and physical health.

Prolonged isolation during the pandemic and excessive use of electronic devices have also taken their toll, so Gen Z will be looking to engage in in-person experiences and community-building activities in the coming year.

Financial stability

The top trend for Gen Z in 2023 is finding new ways to be financially stable. One of the projects many young people choose is to make money from social media. Gen Z is not afraid to experiment and they realize that there are many other ways to make money besides a regular 40-hour-a-week job.

Music, food and dating

Many Gen Zers revealed that they want to diversify their taste buds and expand their musical tastes. Non-English content will be one of the top trends for Gen Z in 2023.

Never before have K-pop groups like BTS, TWICE or BLACKPINK been attracting such strong attention, surpassing global charts like in recent years. Korean, Japanese, Indian and other Asian cuisines are increasingly receiving high praise globally.

Gen Z is also interested in dating and love. Many young people share that they feel more comfortable chatting via text messages, not interested in talking directly when meeting for the first time.

Next year, Gen Z will use social media platforms like Instagram for online dating instead of dating apps.
