The Most Popular Things for Teens in 2022

A marketing agency specializing in reaching teens and young adults has released a new report on teens.
At the start of a new year, it’s valuable for marketers to consider what is most popular with teens. So, to
kick the year off, Fuse asked 1,000 about their favorite things.
1. Technology: Teens and smartphones remain an unstoppable force
5 When it comes to what tech teens love the most, it’s no surprise that nearly half of the teens we surveyed
said they preferred their mobile phones above all other technology. And why wouldn’t they?
Smartphones can connect teens to everything they care about – from socializing with their friends on
messenger and social media apps to consuming all types of content and entertainment like gaming and
video streaming services.
10 2. Video Streaming: Teen YouTube vloggers create highly entertaining content
The rise of online streaming among teens is no surprise, but what is it about YouTube that make teens
love it the most? More than 52% of the teens surveyed favored YouTube above all other streaming
services. In fact, more than 72% of teens report visiting YouTube daily. Popular teen vloggers on
YouTube, like 15-year-old MattyBRaps who has over 10 million subscribers, are constantly creating
15 entertaining music videos, vlogs and challenges and posting them to their YouTube channels for young
and loyal fans to watch.

3. Celebrities: Real-life teen issues and comedy take the stage with teens
When it comes to teens, and which celebrities they think are cool or not, our survey found Selena
Gomez, Taylor Swift and Kevin Hart topping the favorites list. With more than 1.8 million teens battling
20 with mental health these days, most can identify with Selena’s recent highly-publicized hospitalization
and treatment for her battle with mental health issues. Taylor Swift recently wrapped up a successful
world tour, captivating millions with her songs about relationships and heartbreaks. Lastly, comedy
reigns king among teens with Kevin Hart.
4. Food: Teens love pizza, but tacos and sushi also topped the list
25 Teens just love pizza, there’s no disputing it – one girl even wrote an essay about it that got her into Yale!
In our survey, sushi, tacos and pasta also came up high on the list. With popular teen food chains like
Taco Bell and weekly traditions linked to food deals around ‘Taco Tuesday,’ it’s not a shock that tacos
are among the top as a teen favorite. Sushi continues to become more and more popular in the U.S.,
where teenagers are jumping on the sushi bandwagon.
