The Alpha Generation is here with a bang. Gen Alpha years range from 2013 to 2025, the generation after Gen Z. Gen was born in the 2010s, entirely in the 21St Century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What characterizes this group? This in-depth report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gwi.com\/reports\/gen-alpha\">GWI<\/a> goes to great lengths to explain Gen Alpha&#8217;s behavioral traits, what they are into, and what this means for businesses as they prepare to serve future consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-breakdown-of-gen-alpha-and-other-generations\">Quick Breakdown of Gen Alpha and Other Generations<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio  is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper video-seo-youtube-embed-wrapper\"><div class=\"video-seo-youtube-player\" data-id=\"lzHVqHsz6Q4\"><\/div><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-look-at-gen-alpha-post-pandemic\">A Look at Gen Alpha Post-Pandemic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic affected everyone in different ways. For this specific group, it took away two of their formative years. Like everyone else recovering from the pandemic, they have been resilient, but their feelings now are bound to influence their attitudes and beliefs as they progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As adults become more wellness-oriented, so do the kids. According to this research, 1 in 3 teens is health conscious. Generation Alpha&#8217;s concerns about falling sick are rising, with family illness being the number one concern in 12 of the 16 markets surveyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, tools that suggest preventative measures teens can take to safeguard their health will put them more at ease. Additionally, this group feels it&#8217;s important to talk about their feelings, so encouraging them to open up would be more than welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-embracing-the-real-world\">Embracing the Real World<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicknamed the iPad kids, Generation Alpha is known for over-reliance on technology for everything, especially entertainment. There have been never-ending debates about technology&#8217;s good vs. harm, particularly among young, developing minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having been stuck behind screens for two years during the pandemic, like everyone else, Gen Alpha has enthusiastically embraced their regained freedom and the increasing opportunities to socialize face-to-face. The extent of digital exposure appears to have put them off tech somewhat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been an overall shift in online behavior post-pandemic, even for the Alpha Generation. Interacting with friends was reduced to talking to them online instead of seeing them. Today, 43% of Gen A are likely to meet with their friends, and (39%) say they only talk online on the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-years.png\" alt=\"The Gen Alpha years range from 2013 and 2025, the generation after Gen Z\" class=\"wp-image-8244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-years.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-years-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-years-1024x320.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-years-768x240.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This broad cultural shift is partly due to screen fatigue over the past two to three years. When work, school, and entertainment have one outlet, it takes a toll on a person. So, kids are happy to say goodbye to Zoom classes and return to the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advocating-for-social-equality\">Advocating for Social Equality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What do kids know about social injustice? More than you think. Gen A becomes socially aware at a young age, which shapes their attitudes, world outlook, and consumer behavior. There are many reasons why Gen A will take over from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/data\/gen-z-shopping-habits\/\">Gen Z audience<\/a> in advocating for social equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one, Gen Alpha will be the most diverse generation in history, based on the US Census. This reality alone shapes the kids&#8217; expectations. With fair representation already on their minds, they are more likely to seek entertainment where they see themselves reflected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-rising-popularity-of-audio-entertainment\">The Rising Popularity of Audio Entertainment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids are coming off the smaller screens and favor audio entertainment\u2013podcasts and cinema. Again, this can be attributed to screen fatigue as neither of these activities requires one to stare at a mobile phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quarter of teenagers now say the cinema is their favorite way to watch movies. Their love for the cinema was quickly rekindled after lockdowns and restrictions were lifted. Their enthusiasm for cinema can also be attributed to their impatience with release dates. They prefer watching movies the moment they&#8217;re released to avoid spoilers and be the first to jump on any potential trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rise in popularity of audio entertainment began during the pandemic. Following online education and the screen fatigue that came with it, podcasts became the perfect medium for unwinding. Even post-pandemic, there seems to be a cultural shift favoring audio content as engagement with the news fades. Media publishers should start investing in podcasts, which have a relatively low barrier to entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-rise-of-feel-good-content\">The Rise of Feel-Good Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that hasn&#8217;t changed for the Alpha Generation is that watching TV and movies is still among their favorite pastimes. It remains the top weekend activity (59%) and the second-most popular after-school activity(50%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular group watches several different types of movies and TV shows, influencing the subscriptions paid for in the household. Platforms like Disney+ are making a killing, with roughly 13% of Generation Alpha more likely to use it this year compared to last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For streamers and movie franchises to create content that resonates with Gen A, it&#8217;s vital to understand the genres they are getting more into. Shows accompanied by music are increasingly more appealing, with younger kids more likely to watch shows and movies if they can sing and dance to them. Music is the fastest-growing TV genre for this age group partly because social media platforms like TikTok influence the content these kids expect, even from traditional mainstream channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Movies and shows with serious content, like drama and soap operas, are decreasing in popularity. Generation Alpha wants good vibes to offset the pandemic&#8217;s negativity and its effects. Cartoons remain extremely popular among teens, only second to comedy (62% vs. 60%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-data.png\" alt=\"60% of Gen Alpha still watch cartoons, while 62% watch comedy\" class=\"wp-image-8245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-data.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-data-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-data-1024x320.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gen-alpha-data-768x240.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-device-portfolios-with-less-parental-supervision\">More Device Portfolios with Less Parental Supervision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile phones are now 8-11&#8217;s most used gadgets, at 33%, followed by TVs at 30%. Today, most kids have access to smaller screens, accompanied by less parental supervision. Most parental control is seen on devices like laptops and tablets, and the least is on gaming consoles, where 68% of 8-11s and 76% of 12-15s use consoles without supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more time these kids spend online, the more autonomy they have over the amount and type of content they consume. With kids having power over the apps they can download, the focus should be to protect them online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parental supervision alone is not enough. Software companies and third-party solutions can now provide services for this underserved market. One way to go is to design gamified educational experiences with the youth in mind, where they are taught and encouraged to think critically about their digital well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tiktok-remains-the-1-app-for-the-alpha-generation\">TikTok Remains the #1 App for the Alpha Generation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTok&#8217;s raw, messy, and low-effort aesthetic is one of the reasons why its popularity is still on the rise. 13 to 15-year-olds are most likely to name TikTok as their favorite app, as it&#8217;s their source of funny posts, new dances, new music inspirations, and overall feel-good content. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/content\/new-tiktok-update\/\">latest TikTok updates<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Gen-A-tiktok.jpg\" alt=\"Gen Alpha's top social media platform is TikTok\" class=\"wp-image-8246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Gen-A-tiktok.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Gen-A-tiktok-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Gen-A-tiktok-1024x320.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Gen-A-tiktok-768x240.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gen Alpha is more likely to emphasize campaigns&#8217; creative and audio aspects, which brands should pay attention to. Tight-knit communities like Discord and Reddit are among the fastest-growing platforms among teens, as they provide spaces where people with shared interests can gather and interact. Brands should, therefore, start shifting towards more community-led content to deliver customized experiences for the users. Here are a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/content\/reddit-case-studies\/\">Reddit case studies<\/a> to see how other brands activate digital campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gaming-is-about-creating-for-generation-alpha\">Gaming is About Creating for Generation Alpha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as kids embrace more in-person social activities, they still spend much time in the virtual world compared to previous generations, similar to other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britopian.com\/data\/gen-z-trends-2023\/\">Gen Z trends<\/a>. Outside China, 1 in 4 kids spends most of their weekends playing video games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More kids are interested in gaming (58%) than TV shows (55%) or sports (46%). This indicates that gaming is a culturally important outlet for Gen A and will be a crucial channel for brand engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While action-adventure games like Call of Duty and FIFA are more popular among adults, Gen A prefers games where they build worlds and go on adventures with others. Games like Roblox and Minecraft top the charts for this demographic, providing opportunities for the players to think critically, learn new skills, and collaborate with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands must consider kids&#8217; online needs when creating these virtual worlds as they continue to stake their claim in the metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the information gathered from the top 5 SERPs, here is a revised version of the paragraphs about the challenges of working with Generation Alpha:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigating the Challenges of Engaging Generation Alpha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generation Alpha, born from 2010 onwards, is the first generation to grow up entirely in the digital age. This presents unique challenges for those seeking to engage with them, whether in education, marketing, or other fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the primary challenges is their inherent digital savviness. Generation Alpha is accustomed to instant access to information and seamless digital experiences. They are not just passive consumers of digital content but active participants, often creating their content. This means traditional engagement methods may not be as effective, and new strategies must be developed to capture their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another challenge is their expectation of authenticity and social responsibility from the organizations they interact with. Generation Alpha is growing up in a time of increased awareness about social and environmental issues, and they expect organizations to take a stand on these issues. This means that organizations need to talk and walk the walk regarding social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Generation Alpha will likely significantly influence their parents&#8217; buying decisions. This means that organizations need to consider how to engage with Generation Alpha directly and how to influence their impact on family purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparing Digital Natives: Gen Alpha vs Gen Z<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we try to comprehend the intricacies of the youngest generations, we must understand the differences and similarities between Gen Alpha and Gen Z.
