- They are heavy music listeners, with 88% listening to radio each week. They also show a greater interest in personalized streaming audio services than other demographics.
- 70% of Millennial men engaged in social networking, 57% downloaded apps, 56% downloaded games, and 51% used a game console, compared with 38%, 36%, 24%, and 23%, respectively, for non-Millennial men.
