Key Points

Art and Design:

Live theatre, independent cinema, and music festivals appeal to NEOs because they provoke thought and emotional connection.
They avoid formulaic entertainment in favour of niche or experimental offerings.

Wellness:

Holistic Approach:

NEOs integrate mental, physical, and emotional health through activities like yoga, Pilates, or immersive wellness retreats.
Their wellness routine is often intertwined with sustainability, such as choosing organic produce or supporting local farmers.
