Features: During the four-year interview process, I discovered many ambivalent spiritual traits in these interviewees who belong to the "new new generation": they quickly embrace new things, yet lack guidance from adults in both life and psychology; they interact with the world in diverse ways and have broad information channels, yet have no clear boundaries between right and wrong; they focus on self-perception and life experiences, having the courage and conditions to try various lifestyles, yet they are easily impulsive and lack a sense of responsibility; they are full of confidence and desire to subvert traditions, yet gradually tend to return to traditional ways after experiencing pain and harm, lacking the psychological foundation for rebellion; they are highly adaptable due to their instability but reject being shaped by any social force; they rebel against all established rules of the adult world, yet use these rules when they cannot justify themselves, finding excuses for their selfishness and; many of them do not believe in love, yet conduct numerous love experiments using their emotions and bodies as mediums.
