Munich – November 03, 2026 -- Germans are the most likely in Europe to say that "cute" no longer just means "cute-looking." A new Sanrio-commissioned study finds that 50.8% of German respondents see the word's meaning shifting, the highest share of any of the five countries surveyed.

Half of Germans say "cute" has changed in a decade

In the "Hello Kitty: Beyond Cute" study, 51% of German adults say the term means something different than it did ten years ago. Among Gen Z the share is nearly two-thirds. Those who see a change link cuteness mainly with positive feelings (30%) and with kindness and care (22%). Appearance alone matters less than it once did.

Germany also posts the highest share of people who feel more connected to others after a cute moment, at 44.1%. Another 44.5% tie cuteness to community and mutual kindness.
