The The Spring Youth Culture Study 2010-North America reveals key findings that leave little doubt that the American youth marketplace is in the middle of significant change based on the speed of technology, changes in the economy, and increased consumer control from various youth markets. There is also a distinct "generation gap" occurring within youth culture itself, starting at the age 21, whereby consumer insight results reflect distinct differences from other age demographics.

According to Label Networks, 13-25-year-olds in North America are among the most important demographics shaping the landscape of the global future not only because of their vast spending power, but because youth culture here tends to lead as a primary source of global trends in many areas.
