What is the Selfie Transformation trend?
Selfie Transformation: The "selfie" has been a much-criticized aspect of Millennial and Gen Z's social media habits, and has since been transformed into various artistic platforms to form new products/services, to make social commentaries, or both. This shift is unique in its ability to serve those that take part in this ever-evolving habit, while simultaneously serving those that critique it.
