Themes

Themes of the narrative often focus on isolation, glorifying teenage characteristics and typical behaviour namely drinking alcohol, drug use and sex. The isolation of youth is often link towards drug use or loneliness, this is shown through many videos which have a simple narrative of a young teenager showing to not have many friends, feel severely depressed but at the same time this can often resort to the teenager rebelling against authority in some way which is typically glorified. Other themes which seem to be shown can be the freedom of youth, this can be linked towards a rebellious nature of youth, a party atmosphere all of which is seen within a very positive light, the party atmosphere can be characterised by teenagers all grouped together dancing, possibly taking drugs, etc. Therefore it would be more useful for us to emphasize both the isolation aspect and also the party aspect as this conforms to the alternative rock genre. A summary of the themes can be seen on the above image.
