First move

Although this type has opted out of hall-of-residence life, they are still very social; among other things, they often visit friends and family. They also get out, perhaps to the cheap bars with student-friendly prices, but also to concerts, the cinema or a stand-up show, before they go on into town and let loose.

They also go for it when it comes to health. Two thirds do sport every week, where almost half train in a fitness centre and slightly fewer run. The progress from the training is, of course, only the First move on the way to health. The diet is also taken into account, and this type gladly finds the inspiration to live healthier online. If there is no time to make the food themselves, it is nice that the selection of quality ready meals in the supermarkets is so large.

The internet is a basic element in their everyday life, and they use it for both education and entertainment in the form of games and competitions on the computer and smartphone. Social media is also checked, but it is by now rarely anything other than Instagram and TikTok that reach First move. It would have to be Tinder; the next little flirt or the really big love might just be nearby.

A good way to keep the expenses down is by using the bicycle. It is their primary means of transport and will surely be so until they find a good job. Many are indeed constantly actively job-seeking, just as they also constantly scan the housing market online - perhaps in the hope of being able to buy a larger home once the job has landed.

Alongside the job search, many also choose either to be a member of or work voluntarily for a humanitarian or charitable organisation. Perhaps you have met someone from First move as a fundraiser in the street or as a volunteer in the local soup kitchen.

There must of course also be time for the studies, and they therefore read a good deal of non-fiction and often search for subject-related topics on the net. While they study, they may well have an online music service running in the background. This type also often listens to a podcast, which may be about a political topic. They are engaged in that, as they want to be successful.

A television they do not own - they simply do not understand why one should have one. Films must be streamed or seen at the cinema.

There is plenty to attend to at First move, and not much to spare, so they have not been on a major holiday for two years. On the other hand, many look forward to the annual Roskilde Festival. There is always money for that. If they travel, it is often by backpack, and gladly by train. It is less climate-impacting, and then one can read a good book on the way.

In terms of values, First move are Modern-community-oriented. But unlike the Halls of Residence, some are more Modern-individual-oriented than Modern-community-oriented. Although politics is not of great interest, they have a clear attitude that we could do more for refugees and the weak in our society.

The division in the Gallup Compass is reflected in the party choice, for First move are an impressionable crowd, who in principle prefer the Social Democrats and the left wing. But the Liberal Alliance and the Social Liberals (Radikale) also harvested quite a large part of their votes from First move at the most recent election. There are, however, also a number of non-voters among this type, so perhaps the potential is greater for the mentioned parties. But these are voters who are keen to try something new, so there were also many who put their cross by the Alternative at the most recent election. No one knows whether they will do so again at the next election.
