We Live in a Brave New World - What Teens Want (Astrid Entertainment & Roblox) | DICE 2025 Summit

Teens today are growing up in an unprecedented reality—a world shaped by the constant presence of social media, rapid digital advancements, and increasingly complex challenges. While they’re more connected than ever online, many report feelings of loneliness, isolation, and heightened anxiety. This #DICE2025 talk explores the implications of these trends and how they can inform the creation of compelling, youth-focused content. With expertise spanning fantasy world-building, digital civility, and adolescent behavior, Sharon Tal Yguado (Astrid Entertainment) and Tami Bhaumik (Roblox) will share actionable insights to help creators and developers connect meaningfully with today’s teens. It’s time to bust stereotypes like "Teens Only Want Fame and Attention,” ”Movies are Dead for Teens,“ "Teens Only Care About Viral Trends,” and labels such as "Skibidi Toilet Generation." To learn more about the D.I.C.E.
