FEIXA, Carles. Generation Blockchain: Youth in the age of the semantic web. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.1, pp.251-270.  Epub 12-Abr-2021. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.19.1.4584.

This article proposes the concept of Generation ₿ or Blockchain to analyze youth movements in the era of semantic web. Starting from previous conceptualizations about Generation @ or At sign and about Generation # or Hashtag, the signifier, meaning and traits of the Generation ₿ are presented, which are illustrated with the analysis of the 2019 protests, in the context of the mobilizations of the last decade. The concept of Blockchain or chain of blocks serves to reflect on the type of youth movements that emerged after the 2008 crisis, that are chained in blocks as a tactic of resistance against state and corporate powers and as a collaborative way of producing value in the face of the prevailing social anomie.

Keywords: Youth, generations, information society, youth movements, social media.

Palavras-chave : Generation @; generation at sign; generation #; generation hashtag; generación ₿; generation blockchain.
