Gradual changes in time change the perspective and behavior of human life. The development of global capitalism and consumer culture has led individuals or teenagers to a style of hedonism that is oriented towards materialistic concepts or pleasure because of material things. This research uses qualitative methods with a literature study approach. The result of this discussion is that contemporary era hedonism is very different from Epicurean hedonism. Hedonism in Epicurus' view is oriented towards spiritual pleasure as a balance to material pleasure. Christian teenagers who orient themselves towards contemporary hedonism will enter the area of attachment, while teenagers who self-reflect and pursue spiritual pleasure will be free from attachment, living in happiness in simplicity.
