According to the Generation Z respondents who responded to the survey, many of them are disgusted by the forced expressions, saying, “It’s unpleasant to see people forcing their appearance on them” (16 years old, second year of high school).
■Summary
The results of this survey revealed that advertising expressions that people tend to like are those that are modern, easy to personalize, and have a high level of empathy, and expressions that people dislike are those that excessively arouse an individual’s complexes or anxiety.
In addition, the most common response to companies that use
advertising expressions that they don’t like is “do nothing in particular,” and Gen Z interviewees said, “If something you don’t like comes up, don’t react.” I feel like I got a glimpse of the high level of pass-through skills of Generation Z, who live in an information society, from the answer “I just ignore it.”
