Julia Day, The Guardian, Monday 11February 2002
The perception of today’s youngsters as media-savvy cynics could hardly be further from the truth. Instead, this
generation of keen consumers may turn witty advertising into an endangered species. Julia Day reports
blogchuyenanh.wordpress.com 2014 | Page 1 of 8
The youth of today are cynical, media-savvy, seen it all, done it all, wouldn’t-be-seen-dead-in-the-T-shirt types
who appreciate only the most achingly trendy adverts, TV shows and magazines, right? Wrong: that was so last generation.
Today’s youngsters don’t “get” clever ads, are not in the least suspicious of commercials, don’t know the
difference between newspapers’ political stances, or TV channels, and they don’t mind admitting it. In short, they are
not half as media, marketing and advertising literate as we might have thought, according to new research
commissioned by five media groups – Guardian Newspapers, Channel 4, Carlton Screen Advertising, media buying
agency OMD, and Emap Advertising.
As a result media companies and advertisers are going back to basics to arouse the interest of 15- to 24-year-olds
with instant impact messages, plain product pictures, bigger posters, annoying jingles, celebrity endorsements and
repetitive ads. Today’s youth are a far cry from today’s thirtysomethings who grew up as commercially-naive kids
weaned on the cold war, no national commercial radio, three national TV stations, grant-funded higher education,
sponsorship-free Glastonbury festivals and regular strikes and student protests.
Now a lifetime of MTV, the internet, dawn-till-dusk advertising and PlayStation gaming has created a generation
so used to being bombarded with fast-turnover information, they filter it instantly without paying much attention to its
meaning. This is a generation of “thoroughbred consumers” says Stuart Armon, managing director of 2cv: research,
the company that conducted the so-called Roar research into the media habits of the nation’s youth. “Previous
generations were suspicious of advertising, they might have liked ads, but they wouldn’t necessarily buy the product.
But this generation has been consuming since they were born. They don’t see any reason to be suspicious,” says Armon.
One young panellist in the focus group research embodied this attitude: “If the advert is good, you think their
product will be good because the more they can spend on advertising, the more money they are obviously getting for
their product.” Armon says the trend has become more pronounced over the seven years that the continuous tracking
study has been running, but has reached a peak in the latest round of interviews with 600 youngsters.
“Advertising is accepted and expected. Young people don’t see anything wrong in being sold to and think that if a
product is in a TV ad, it must be good. It’s a myth that they are interested in clever ads – they are not willing to
decipher complicated messages, they want simple ones.” Many panellists dramatically illustrated this point by
revealing they thought Budweiser’s “Real American Heroes” ad, ironically celebrating “Mr foot-long hot dog
inventor”, was an ad for hot dogs rather than beer, even though the ad might not be aimed at them.
However, many loved Heineken’s ironic ad featuring Paul Daniels singing Close to You, purely because it made
them laugh. “They are looking for an instant message. If it’s not there, they don’t take any notice. And they literally,
and naively, believe celebrities in ads really use the products they are advertising,” says Armon. A girl panellist from
Birmingham commented: “In some of the Nike ads they’ve got all these well-known footballers. You think, ‘Oh my
God, they’ve got everybody famous there.’ You think it must be good if they want it.”
The youngsters only read newspapers for the celebrity gossip and sport, rather than news, and couldn’t distinguish
between papers’ political stances. They also failed to distinguish between TV channels – they access TV through
programmes, not channels, for example watching Sky because The Simpsons is on, not because it’s Sky.
The results of the research deeply worry Sid McGrath, planner at the ad agency that made the infamous “You’ve
been Tango’ed” ads, HHCL and Partners. But they do not surprise him. “My worry is that the youth of today are not
being called upon to flex their intellectual muscles enough,” he says.
“There is instant gratification everywhere – in food it’s Pot Noodles or vending machines, even their pop icons are
one-dimensional figures delivered on a plate. Young people are living vicariously through other people’s lives and are
not asking for much at the moment. A lot of stimulation is ‘lean back’ – it doesn’t require as much involvement as it used to.”
He says advertising is changing as a result: “Lots of the most popular ads at the moment are happy, clappy, fun.
Easy to digest. They’ve got no time or inclination to decode ads.” One reason behind the shift, McGrath believes, is
that young people want relief from the traumas of real life: “Advertising is becoming the opium of the masses rather than the educator.”

Read the following extract from an autobiography and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 55.
There was nothing unusual about Wellington Street, or so I thought as I was growing up. The cobbled street, one
of four identical streets next to each other, was calm, apart from the occasional sound of raised voices from the pub on
the corner. Everybody said hello to each other, although rarely much more than that. It was the kind of street that in
the past had covered the whole of the north-west of England, affordable housing for the workers, the kind of street that
used to be the heart of a community. Now it was a relic, unchanged while the modern world went on around it.
The first time I got a sense that my childhood world was not going to remain the same forever was when a letter
arrived from the local council saying that a meeting was being held locally to discuss the development of the area. I
remember wondering why areas had to be developed and I asked my father. He said that people just liked changing
things for the sake of it but my mum interrupted him and explained that the houses needed modernizing. Even then I
could see this as another move in their ongoing argument about money and location. Mum, with her keen sense of
social position and always very aware of what the neighbours thought, wanted to move into a better house, which Dad
took to mean a more expensive house.
blogchuyenanh.wordpress.com 2014 | Page 4 of 8
The evening of the meeting came around and my dad and I went along. It had already started when we got there
and one of the councilors was trying to explain the plans, although the general reaction from the audience was far from
positive. I don’t remember the details, but I remember some shouting, until finally one of our neighbours stood up and
said that he wasn’t giving his permission for any of it. I remember the councilor saying then, ‘We don’t need
permission. We’re telling you, not asking you.’
The mood when we got home was tense. Although she tried to hide it, I think Mum was secretly quite pleased.
Dad sat and frowned at the TV for a while, before Mum brought him a cup of tea. I was surprised when it was he who
broke the silence after a minute or two and said, ‘There are one or two nice places up around Ladybride.’ Mum said
nothing. She just sipped her tea and looked at me and smiled.
