Applying Media Theory

sHoOKeTh

L/O: To apply media terminology when analysing music.

Sk8ter Boi
Sk8ter Boi's music video is best shown as Hall's view on the youth in media. They are shown as edgy, most likely depressed, vandalising cars and playing loud music to have fun as a huge group of people that can relate to each other. The youth are also shown as Hedbige would portray as "Youth are troublemakers", especially supported when the group are outside vandalising, this would show them being troublemakers indeed.

Teenage Dirtbag
This video shows Mackillon's point of view on males in the media, where they are represented as strong and good looking for women and that women are the only thing that matters to them as well as their looks. This is shown by the progression of the characters going from good looking to bad, and bad to good, and the way that the negatively viewed character gets a girl at the end. The video also follows Hedbige's view that the youth are troublemakers, in this video it would be shown by the bully in the video that is the alpha male showing his tactical superiority over the other characters.
