Abstract
The report begins with a chapter establishing the size of the population of
urban youth and analyzing various demographic characteristics such as income,
education, and race and Hispanic origin. The report then highlights what makes
hip-hop consumers different from other young consumers by identifying the core
values of hip-hop culture. The next section provides a detailed analysis of
how young urban consumers differ from others in their age group when shopping
and buying in areas such as apparel, personal care, personal finance,
automotive vehicles, and food. Other chapters analyze what hip-hop consumers
do with their leisure time and how they use the Internet and other forms of
technology. A separate chapter provides an in-depth analysis of media usage by
urban youth, including print, television, and radio. The final section
identifies key trends emerging in the urban youth market and includes chapters
on marketing and advertising strategies, the buying power of urban youth, and
strategic trends and opportunities.
