What does slash youth mean?

Slash youth comes from English slash, and comes from the book "Double Occupation" written by The New York Times columnist Marek Alber. It refers to a group of people who no longer meet the lifestyle of "single occupation" but choose a diversified life with multiple occupations and identities. These people will use diagonal lines to distinguish themselves in their self-introduction, such as reporter/actor/photographer Zhang San, and "diagonal lines" have become synonymous with them.

Extended data:

"Slash" ("/") was first put forward by Marek Alber, an American columnist, in his book One Person/Multiple Occupations, to refer to people with multiple occupations and identities. When the concept of "slash" entered China, it hit it off with the youth culture, became a popular fashion and life attitude of young people, and became popular in social networks.

The emergence of slash youth is not accidental, but an inevitable phenomenon of social development and a manifestation of progress. This progress has freed mankind from the restrictions and shackles brought by the "industrial revolution" and released its own nature.
