Representation of Youth (Deans Lesson)

Notes for Dean's lesson about Youth:

  • Zeitgeist - a certain moment in time, relflecting on a specific moment.
  • Post war - rebellion consumerism, the youth started to rebel against conformity of the older generations, the youth started to associate themselves with music about independence and individuality.
  • 60's = The Mods - linked to bands such as 'The Who'
  • 70's = Punks - linked to aggressive music and crowdds/ anarchy 'The clash' and 'The Sex Pistols'
  • 80's = New Romantics - linked to people such as Adam Ant and David Bowey, very exressionistic and high end fashion clothing.
  • 'This is England' - fred Perry logo t-shirts, clash of mods and skinheads, with a link to the anarchy of punks thrown in.
  • People wanted to stand out together as a group - make a larger impact.
  • James Dean - Rebel without a cause - late 50's
  • The Wild ones - Marlon Brando
  • Easy Rider - road trip about rebellion
  • Clockwork Orange - copycat murders happened after the film was released, people based their violent ideas on what happened in the film, it had to be banned a short while after being released - violent, gritty.
  • Quadrophenia - Mods
  • La Haine - Suburbian Paris, with rellious youths.
