内容总结：

本周青年文化热点事件频发，从引发社会关切的刑事案件到社交媒体潮流，呈现出多元面貌，以下是本周值得关注的五大事件梳理：

一、音乐人D4vd卷入刑事案件引发关注
20岁歌手D4vd（本名David Anthony Burke）因涉案引发舆论震动。9月8日，洛杉矶警方在其登记名下废弃特斯拉汽车后备箱内发现13岁少女Celeste Rivas的遗体，该少女于今年4月报失踪。目前歌手正配合调查，死因与案件性质尚未明确，其代表作《Romantic Homicide》中涉及暴力内容的歌词引发联想，但法律层面仍遵循无罪推定原则。这位凭借《堡垒之夜》游戏视频走红，后在母亲建议下用手机创作原创歌曲的Z世代歌手，其经历堪称数字时代成名的典型样本。

二、牙科美容趋势席卷社交平台
短视频平台掀起的牙贴面热潮成为年轻人新宠。关于网红Mr.Beast佩戴牙贴面的讨论、TikTok上25万条相关视频以及美妆博主的深度解析，推动这种牙齿美容方式获得关注。分析认为，网红效应、自拍文化对牙齿美观的重视，或是牙贴面自带的戏剧性效果，均是推动该趋势的因素。

三、星座美妆教程融合神秘学元素
美妆领域出现“上升星座”妆容新潮流，化妆师根据用户星座设计妆容风格。例如天蝎座对应浓烈暗黑系，双子座主打活泼明亮感。这种将占星学与美妆结合的创新方式，虽缺乏科学依据，但为年轻人日常穿搭提供了新颖灵感。

四、首部AI动画长片进入制作阶段
OpenAI宣布将制作完全由人工智能驱动的动画长片《Critterz》，预算达3000万美元，预计九个月完成制作，远超传统动画效率。影片剧本与配音仍由好莱坞专业人士完成，计划可能于2027年戛纳电影节首映。此举标志着AI技术正式进入影视工业核心领域。

五、体育统计迷创新足球观赛视角
由博主John Bois提出的“Scorigami”概念（指美式足球比赛中史无前例的最终比分）通过四集纪录片引发热议。该系列以1922年至今的赛事为蓝本，融合体育、历史与数据可视化，深入剖析了如“如何在一场比赛中仅得1分”等冷知识，展现了Z世代用数据分析重构传统体育观赏的独特方式。

本周的年轻人世界巡礼宛如一辆失控的高铁般横冲直撞。人们热议的话题包括：后备箱藏尸的流行歌手、TikTok推动的美牙风潮、星座美妆教程，以及让橄榄球数据迷沉醉的终极奇谈。信息量着实不小。

D4vd何许人也？后备箱为何惊现尸体？
某个年龄段以下的年轻人都在谈论歌手D4vd，但这并非因为他发布了新专辑。9月8日，洛杉矶警方在一辆废弃特斯拉的后备箱中发现一具尸体，该车注册在20岁音乐人大卫·安东尼·伯克（D4vd本名）名下。死者后被确认为塞莱斯特·里瓦斯——这位女孩于2024年4月5日从河滨县的家中失踪时年仅13岁。

网络传言称D4vd与里瓦斯存在恋爱关系，但尚未得到证实。据悉这位歌手正配合警方调查，目前死因未明，也无人被起诉。

若你不知D4vd是谁，大可不必尴尬：他的走红堪称Z世代的典型范本。凭借发布《堡垒之夜》游戏视频积累网络人气后，其内容因使用版权音乐遭YouTube下架。在母亲建议下，D4vd开始用免费iPhone工具录制原创歌曲并上传至SoundCloud，最终赢得唱片合约，专辑中多首歌曲在Spotify播放量突破15亿。

D4vd的热门单曲《浪漫凶杀》融合1970年代流行乐与1990年代低保真制作，品质确实不俗。但结合后续事件，歌词令人脊背发凉："我杀了你却毫不后悔"，他在歌中唱道，"难以置信我会这么说，但这是事实。"不过创作情杀歌曲并不等同于犯罪。无论如何，这起事件阴暗悲惨且仍在发酵，在证据确凿前D4vd应被视为无罪。

Z世代美牙新宠：贴面牙饰
从凶杀案转到牙齿话题或许跳跃，但这就是2025年的生活常态。眼下年轻人中最炙手可热的美牙趋势当属贴面牙饰。无论是Z世代顶流Mr.Beast被疑镶了满口假牙，TikTok上#贴面牙饰标签下25万条视频的狂欢，还是资深博主Papa Meat对此的深度解析，都让仿生牙饰成为潮流焦点。

这种迷恋或许源于网红们整齐洁白的牙齿，或是自拍成瘾引发的牙齿焦虑，也可能单纯因为贴面牙饰自带幽默感——答案见仁见智。

星座美妆风靡Z世代
作为美妆趋势与流行神秘学的双料爱好者，我很高兴看到美妆博主们在TikTok上将二者结合。新兴的"上升星座"美妆风潮主张根据星座决定妆容风格。

星相学中，上升星座据说代表他人对你的印象。若上升星座为天蝎座，妆容需凸显"浓烈、暗黑与戏剧性"；若是双子座上升，则要体现"活泼灵动"。我虽难以理解出生时的星位如何决定下周四的妆容选择，但若神秘主义能帮人们更轻松度过日常，我举双手赞成。

首部AI动画长片制作启动
该来的终于来了：ChatGPT母公司OpenAI今日宣布正在制作首部完全由人工智能驱动的动画长片。《克里特兹》（暂译）作为此前AI短片的加长版，预算达3000万美元，制作周期仅九个月——这对传统动画或CG电影而言堪称天方夜谭。虽然动画由AI生成，剧本和配音仍由好莱坞专业人士操刀，这些从业者想必很乐意为OpenAI的高额酬劳献声。

据《华尔街日报》报道，OpenAI希望让《克里特兹》在戛纳电影节首映，很可能定在2027年。是否有人愿意观看AI动画电影尚属未知。这主意在我听来糟糕透顶，不过反正我也不是目标观众。感兴趣者可点击此处查看首支预告片。

本周爆款：橄榄球"比分组合学"再掀热潮
Z世代总能发明享受橄榄球的新姿势。"比分组合学"由作家兼博主约翰·博伊斯提出，指代NFL历史上首次出现的终场比分。YouTube频道Secret Base正在推出四集系列专题，从1922年首场NFL比赛切入，以"这是职业球队首次以该比分收官"的视角梳理至今。

该系列融体育、历史、喜剧与数据于一体，穿插着各种迷人趣闻：比如NFL的存续竟源于世纪初德州某男子的卡车抛锚，又或是橄榄球比赛中得1分虽概率极低却理论可行。换言之，这部纪录片因太数学被ESPN拒之门外，又因太体育遭PBS嫌弃，却借助YouTube找到了数十万知音。

This week's tour of the world of young people careens around like an out-of-control bullet train. Everyone's talking about a pop star with a body in his trunk, a dental trend powered by TikTok, astrology-based beauty tutorials, and a football stat hound's ultimate rabbit hole. It’s a lot to take in.
Who is D4vd and why was there a body in his trunk?
Everyone under a certain age is talking about the singer D4vd, and it's not because he has a new album out. On September 8, Los Angeles police discovered a body in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla registered to David Anthony Burke, the birth name of the 20-year-old musician. The body was later identified as the remains of Celeste Rivas, who was reported missing from her home in Riverside on April 5, 2024, when she was just 13 years old.
The online speculation is that D4vd was in a relationship with Rivas, but that has yet to be confirmed. The singer has reportedly been cooperating with authorities, no cause of death has been determined, and no charges have yet been filed.
If you're wondering who D4vd is, you're not alone: The singer's rise to fame is a quintessentially Generation Z story. His career began with online fame gained through posting Fortnite videos online, but YouTube removed his content for using copyrighted music. At the suggestion of his mom, D4vd began recording original songs using free iPhone tools, which he posted to SoundCloud. The end result was a recording contract, an album, and a couple of songs with over 1.5 billion plays on Spotify.
D4vd's biggest hit, "Romantic Homicide" mixes the pop music of the 1970s with 1990s-style lo-fi production, and it's actually good. But D4vd's lyrics are chilling given later developments. "I killed you and I didn't even regret it," he sings on the track, "I can't believe I said it, but it's true."
But just because you write a song about killing your lover doesn't mean you're guilty of it. In any case, the story is dark, tragic, and developing, and D4vd is innocent until proven guilty.
Hot Generation Z trend: veneers
Yeah, it's a mood shift to go from murder to teeth, but such is the nature of life in 2025. Anyway, the newest dental trend among younger people is veneers. Whether it's speculation that Gen Z super-celebrity Mr.Beast is rocking a set of artificial choppers, the 250,000 videos posted to TikTok's #veneers tag, or the below deep-dive on the topic from venerable YouTuber Papa Meat, false fronts are very of-the-moment.
Maybe the fascination comes from the straight, white teeth of influencers. Maybe it's hyper-awareness of teeth caused by taking too many selfies. Or maybe it's because veneers are sort of funny. Choose your own explanation.
Hot Generation Z trend: astrological makeup
I'm fascinated with makeup trends and pop occultism, so I'm glad makeup influencers are bringing my two interests together on TikTok. The new hotness among makeup influencers is the “rising sign" beauty trend, where the makeup you wear is determined by your astrological sign.
In astrology, your "rising sign" supposedly represents how other people see you. So if your rising sign is Scorpio, you might go with a look that's "intense, dark, and dramatic." If Gemini is rising, you want to go "playful and vibrant."
I don't understand how the position of the stars at the time you were born could possibly inform the makeup choices you make next Thursday, but if combining mysticism with style choices makes it a little easier for people to slog through another day, I'm in favor.
First AI-animated feature film in production
We all knew it was going to happen eventually, and now it has: OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, announced today that it's producing the first feature film animated solely through artificial intelligence. Critterz, a feature-length version of the AI-made short film above, has a $30 million budget, and production will be finished in nine months, an impossibly short time-frame for a traditionally animated or CGI film. Critterz's animation may be AI, but its script and voice acting are being done the old-fashioned way—by professional Hollywood actors and writers who will gladly let OpenAI pay them a lot of money for making funny voices.
According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Open AI hopes to premiere Critterz at the Cannes Film Festival, presumably in 2027. Whether anyone wants to see an AI-animated movie remains to be seen. It sounds like a terrible idea to me, but I'm not the target demographic. Anyway, you can check out the first teaser/promo video here.
Viral video of the week: Scorigami returns
Leave it to Gen Z to come up with a new way to enjoy football. "Scorigami" is a term coined by writer/YouTuber John Bois that describes an NFL final score that has never happened before in the league's history. YouTube channel Secret Base is in the middle of a four-part examination of the phenomenon that starts with the first ever NFL football game played in 1922 and continues to the present, seen through the lens of "this is the only time any two pro teams have ended a game with this score."
The series is equal parts sports, history, comedy, and statistics, with fascinating digressions and side trips to explore things like how the NFL owes its entire existence to a random guy's truck breaking down in Texas at the turn of the century and how it's possible—extremely unlikely, but still possible—to score a single point in a football game. In other words, it's the kind of documentary that would be rejected by ESPN for being too math-y and rejected by PBS for being too sporty, but is able to find a home and hundreds of thousands of viewers because YouTube exists.
