"Nomance" has been identified as a rising trend among teenagers, with over 63% expressing a strong preference for stories centered around friendship rather than romance in media.
The survey found that more than 62% of teens believe that sex and sexual content are unnecessary for the plot in most TV shows and movies.
A 12-year-old participant noted, "I think more friendships should be shown. And just because boys and girls are friends doesn't mean they have to be romantic."
A 17-year-old stated, "The romance doesn't need to be the biggest part of the plot; the relationships need to involve more than just romance."
