“Youthquake”, defined as “a significant cultural, political, or social change arising from the actions or influence of young people”, has been selected by Oxford Dictionaries as the 2017 word of the year.
While the word of the year is usually added to Oxford dictionaries, Youthquake is already listed; it was originally coined in the 1960s by Vogue editor Diana Vreelandto describe how British youth were changing fashion and music around the world.
