I would not mention this yet.
There is a lot of teens from a few years ago that only promote consumerist culture: buying non-needed hardware every 2 years or when main companies promote new exigent game, etc.
I think this is the least probable group of adopters for now, at least until we reach the early majority stage. They live in a groomed bubble of corpoinfluence and are not likely to break out on themselves. The demographics, however, is on our side. In every generation there is always a group of dissidents, actively looking for something "above and beyond" and -- even bigger -- a group of those who see no alternative but getting molded into a shape that mainstream dictates.
There are already a lot of them inside. You can mostly check it in the Pleroma side.
It think that the reasons where quite different to the rest of people to join.
