当下的青年人承受着结构性张力的塑造，他们成长于代际快速更替、中西思潮交汇、时代不断加速的背景下，这样的成长经历使得一些青年人需要在不确定性中寻找动态的稳定与平衡，处于一种既不能全力以赴，又无法彻底放弃的“45°”状态之中。由张力所塑造的“45°青年”，高度推崇个人的价值与感受，对社会结构的中间组织形态持保守态度；在社会团结的方式上，社会领域的去组织化意愿与私人领域的自组织能力并存；在价值认识上，价值无意义感与高度的自我意志并存，形成了“内卷”与“躺平”共存的主观认识基础。张力之下的青年群体在代际认同强化的同时代内分化显著，共识只能在一定范围内形成，因而作为一个整体被团结起来的难度增大。“45°青年”是追求稳定的群体，追求个体的权益、重视个体的价值，这使得他们对变革持更为谨慎的态度。

Contemporary Chinese youth is a generation shaped by structural tension. On the one hand, they benefit from the rapid development of society; on the other hand, they also bear the pressure from this. Their growth experience makes them always seek dynamic stability and balance in uncertainty. They can neither go all out nor give up completely in their daily life. So we call them “45° Youth”. They pay much attention to grand narrative or daily life, and ignore intermediate organizational forms such as family and unit. They are not willing to be organized in the social field, but showing outstanding organizational ability in the private field. In terms of values, nihility of value coexists with a high degree of self-will. Under the structural tension, there is a marked intragenerational differentiation among contemporary youth, consensus only exists within a certain range. They pursue stability, attach importance to individual rights and values, and take a more conservative attitude towards change.
