I don't know if there is such a group of young people around you, who are rebellious, contradictory, and sometimes too egotistical. Because of the working relationship, it is usually indispensable to deal with them, and to be honest, I often feel difficult in the communication process, because sometimes it is difficult to maintain the same frequency.
Recently, though, I've seen some short films by the well-known photographer duo Inez & Vinoodh, which tell stories about the attitudes and lifestyles of today's young people. In the film, they are very serious about not "doing well" to live, whimsical, like to try new things, explore more possibilities, can think independently and are very tolerant, willing to accept the unknown and immerse themselves in it, and show their enthusiasm for life through the most superficial form.
After watching these little videos, I began to understand them, and I also learned some of the essence behind their strange behavior. I'll share it with you today.
01
Break the rules and express yourself bravely
For the younger generation, perhaps the rules are used to break, but it is not blindly going their own way, but with positive thinking and cognition.
Whitney Peak, a young actress after the 00s, is one of the protagonists in the film, and she has received more attention for playing Zoya Lott in the new version of "Gossip Girl". In my opinion, she is the typical representative of the "breaking the rules" of the new students: she is troublesome to type, so she uses her voice; she acts immediately when she wants to do what she wants, enjoying the process without stingy expression and sharing.
Whitney Peak had a crazy day, and some of the episodes made me call out to the amazing:
Friend Izzy texted in the wee hours of the morning to find her taxi, but when the friend arrived she found her not in the car but in the car, the kind behind the wheel. It's incredible, but in her own words: "Don't ask me what's going on, we don't want to know, just let you feel the atmosphere all night".
Breaking the rules is a difficult thing, and conformism is the norm for modern people, but after seeing Whitney Peak's heartfelt smile, we may be able to learn something: not "following the rules" is the most comfortable and comfortable way to live.
Although Whitney Peak has no heart, no lungs, and does not play cards according to common sense, after the madness, it has not forgotten to express its thoughts and love for other important people who are not present, as if an unreserved "I miss you" and "I love you" are the final destination of the hilarity.
Many people, including myself, may feel that "love" is a kind of giving and responsibility, not casually can be said, many times will be hindered by the face more closed mouth not to say "I love you", but the truth is that these three words are better than a thousand words and a thousand words. For young people, being straightforward does not mean not profound, but on the contrary, they themselves have delicate and rich feelings that are more willing to express emotions.

Imaginative, self-consistent
Because of the worry-free food and clothing, so the new generation has more time to dream, to go to the sky, this is not last week my post-00s friends are still discussing with me why the giant monkey in the metaverse is uglier and more popular, why the most beautiful sunsets always appear in the third year of high school.
Model Margaret Qualley, the second young girl recorded on camera, gained attention for her role as high school girl Jill Garvey in the HBO Drama "Watchmen" and in Quentin's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." She also has the characteristics of the younger generation: unbridled, but she knows how to jump out of her thoughts and pinch herself to death.
Margaret Qualley, like his peers, always has a bunch of weird ideas: how the ancient Greeks would think of mobile phones, why new hairstyles make you feel so different, why lovers' massages are better than massagers... As you drive through the desert, you can entertain yourself in an immersive way.
But how can the new forces of the times only indulge in the imagination, when they are struggling to find balance and try to get free from the busy life, they can still jump out of their minds at any time to slow down and precipitate themselves in their own way. The first thing Margaret Qualley did was start with the good habit of "brushing your teeth."
Brushing your teeth, an act that requires little effort to persuade oneself to do, may seem trivial to most people, but younger generations use "developing a good habit" as a way to dispel negative emotions. If you are also a severe patient watching the live broadcast, you will find that jumping Liu Qihong's shuttlecock exercises have recently become common among young people.
In addition to finding easy ways to get along when you're confused, Margaret Qualley has some of his own exclusive ways, such as recording five things to be thankful for every day.
"Gratitude" is something I've been doing recently, and it just happens to be a "homework" for myself to develop good habits. The object of my gratitude today is the fragrance of gardenia flowers at the door of the house, and when I feel its fragrance, the whole person is refreshed, and for me who used to race against the clock and work hard, I would not have noticed this at all.
In addition, the "meditation" mentioned in the short film is also recommended to everyone, which is a "practice" that many young people around me are now very enthusiastic about. I've been trying for a while, and it really helps to release stress, improve concentration, and be more efficient at the chores of work and life every day. We face a complex society, for young people will often be unable to face the problem rationally, meditation is a way to give the brain more pure space to think, to discover the true self.

I'm proud of myself
We often use "yyds" to describe amazing people or things we meet, but for the new generation of self-esteem, this sentence should be prefixed: I am yyds.
This description can not be more appropriate for the 22-year-old actor Lily-Rose Depp, about Lily must be familiar to everyone, she is the spokesperson for Chanel No. 5 water and other Chanel advertisements, always give people a sense of assertive confidence: no matter how busy life is their own, no need for others to give applause, I am yyds.
From dawn in Los Angeles, Lily-Rose Depp was very efficient in getting up, masking, makeup, fitness, hydrating, re-nourishing, swimming... The fast-paced life did not make her negative, but more "righteous" to be proud of her own time, which is really post-00s.
Lily's ego reminds me of the young people around me who only socialize in the way they like. Chat always likes to abbreviate because it's cool. It doesn't matter if you can understand it, I can understand it, if you don't understand it then go to learn, so be sure to learn "mg is delicious, dddd" (mango is delicious, understand it).
The ego may have to pay a small "price," such as "facing loneliness," as Lily-Rose Depp did. When the day was over, she found that everything was done alone, but she did not worry about loneliness, but enjoyed it. "Empty valley youlan, no one to fang", I appreciate this attitude towards life. Whether appreciated by anyone or not, the orchid will eventually bloom in the mountains in a graceful manner. This is not the end of the film, she also rewarded herself for chasing a Los Angeles sunset, and hopes that a camera can capture every moment of her own, because she is the best actress in this "movie" of life. Isn't this the "spiritual freedom" we all aspire to?
Lily-Rose Depp, Whitney Peak and Margaret Qualley are a microcosm of many modern young people, who can devote their energy to what they like, whether it is Hanfu, blind box, e-sports or two-dimensional, actively participate in new things, always maintain a warm and positive attitude towards the things they are passionate about, and enjoy the feeling of having fun. This is also why the 95 or 00s around us like to use "a whole pinch" to describe the things they are involved in, which is actually a manifestation of fierce self-control, living in the present with a confident attitude.

The above three short films are actually the promotional blockbusters of The Chanel 22 handbag. In addition to the three idols, the directors also regarded Chanel 22, which has the characteristics of a young man, as the biggest "protagonist" of the film.
The Chanel 22 handbag appears in almost every frame, and under the interpretation of the three young idols, they can show the characteristics of elegance and casualness, which also coincides with the personality and attitude of the bag owners.
Bags are a very rare shopping bag type, with plenty of room to put books, notebooks, cosmetics, and everything you like, including your imagination. Carrying it on your back can go anywhere and do anything, whether it's a date, a party, or a vacation. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a universal bag.
Many fashionable spirits are on the upper body early, and it can be seen that even if you don't bother to study the wear, a daily casual outfit can make people feel the casual and free characteristics of the bag owner.
About 22, we have planted grass in detail in the previous tweet, so I will not repeat it in this regard, if there is a friend who has already bought it, welcome to the background to post pictures.
Finally, let's talk about the Chanel 22 handbag, this promo, each story is very short, the rhythm is very relaxed, but to be honest, it does not make me feel very excited, they give me more thinking. From the audience's point of view, I envy the unrestrained attitude of the three idols of the era and the casual and comfortable way of life, but for the "older people" like me, it takes a lot of effort to truly release themselves. Therefore, at this time, we should stop and "cultivate" the ability of self-grasping, so as to truly enjoy life. Maybe Chanel wants to convey this beautiful original intention to us through his own way.
