The State of Youth

The State of Youth 2022 report by VICE Media Group captures the mindsets, values, and behaviors of over 22,000 young people across the globe, revealing how identity is shaped less by labels and more by beliefs, passions, and self-expression. It explores youth-driven trends in music, gaming, food, fashion, beauty, finance, and travel, showing how creativity, openness, and cultural remixing define this generation. The design mirrors VICE’s editorial DNA—bold typography, high-contrast layouts, and raw, magazine-style visuals—giving the research the feel of a cultural manifesto as much as a data report, and making it a strong source of both insight and design inspiration.
