前言
很难界定千禧一代(生于20世纪80年代至2000年初)和 z 世代(生于1995年以后) ，但那些已成为当前消费市场中心的人与上一代有着不同的价值观和文化品味。他们表现出的消费特征是强调个人幸福而非群体，分享而非持有，体验而非产品。他们倾向于通过购买包含社会价值观和信息的东西来表达自己的信念，而不仅仅是单纯地购买。他们也喜欢那种展示自己成功或财富的文化，并且乐于投资昂贵的奢侈品。与老一辈为了一个遥远的未来而牺牲了现在不同，他们关注的是现在。
It is difficult to define the millennials (born between the 1980s and early 2000) and the generation Z(born after 1995), but those who have emerged as the center of the current consumer market have different values and cultural tastes from the previous generation. They show the consumption characteristic that emphasizes individual happiness rather than group, sharing rather than ownership, and experience rather than product. They tend to expresses their belief by purchasing things containing social values and messages, not just purchasing things. They also enjoy the 'flex' culture that shows off their success or wealth, and invest easily in expensive luxury goods. Unlike the older generation who sacrificed the present for a guaranteed distant future, they are concentrating on the present.
千禧一代：在美国，千禧一代通常指的是出生于1980到21世纪初的人。对于千禧一代的界限有很多分歧，但2018年3月1日，《纽约时报》宣布，美国皮尤研究中心对1981年至1996年的千禧一代进行了定义。千禧一代也被称为 Y 一代，意思是他们是 X 一代的下一代。因为熟悉 IT 技术,这一代人也被称为技术一代。在《时代》杂志上，他们把这一代人称为“自我一代” ，因为这一代人的思考和行动以自我为主。
Millennials: In the United States, millennials are usually referred to births from 1980 to the early 2000s. There were many disagreements about the boundaries of the millennial generation, but on March 1, 2018, the New York Times announced that the Pew Research Center in the United States defines millennials from 1981 to 1996. The millennials are also called generation Y, which refers that they are the next generation of the generation X. This generation is also called 'tech generation' in the sense that they are familiar with IT technology. And in Time magazine, they called ‘me generation' because it is a generation that thinks and acts mainly on oneself.
Z世代：指的是1995年后出生，在全球和美国市场上已占据最高人口比例，超过了千禧一代的人。目前，Z世代处于十几岁到二十多岁的年龄段，他们被称为数字原住民，不像千禧一代生长在模拟和数字文化的混合环境中，他们从小就接触到数字环境。
Generation Z: It is a word that refers to births since 1995 and already accounts for the highest proportion of the population in the global and US markets, surpassing the millennial generation. Currently, the generation Z are in their early teens and mid-20s which are called digital natives who have been exposed to the digital environment since childhood, unlike the millennials who grew up in a mixed environment of analog and digital culture.
