What are the emerging trends for 2008?

Consumers are expressing themselves in ways previously unimagined. Our current consumer trends framework, for example, couches the most recent consumer developments in the long-evolving transition from traditional culture to consumer culture. The advantage is that rather than blithely exclaiming something like "organics" to be the next big thing, we can explain why and how this happened - information we believe is a must for all interested in successfully engaging such trends. The challenge with uncovering the leading trends for our 2008 report was seeking out new interests or concerns that might be percolating with consumers.

The goods?

Tinderbox Trends 2008 report: Artifacts from the (Near) Future is the result of a six month-long journey exploring America's evolving culture. Based on extensive consumer research, 2008's trends were derived from the following topics:
