In the film 'Kids', youth is portrayed with a vivid and powerful intensity, but the June 2018 youth trends give one the impression that modern youth inhabit a very different brand of hedonism from the one of 1990s New York City. Technology and fashion have been geared toward youth in a way that they never were in the past, giving kids more opportunity than ever to express themselves through consumerism.
There are plenty of tech-enabled toys and games that eclipse the simple items of decades past. However, many parents are beginning to recognize the potential negative impact of being too connected. Developers have thus made apps and software that limit the amount of time kids can spend looking at a screen.
