Media and collective - Youth Culture Case Study

Anuvahood - parody mocks convention.

What is re-presented?

The youth are represented as immature, very stereotypical and comical. Anuvahood’ dismantles a pantheon of street stereotypes with acid one-liners and energy levels that are off the chart. Deacon plays K, a vain MC whose lack of success leads him to try his luck as a drug dealer. When his money and gear are pinched by vainer, even more deluded lisping meathead Tyrone (Richie Campbell), K must show his community and family what he’s worth. It’s a bit juvenile and some of the racial and sexual stereotypes are spiteful. Although, the way it has been represented in the film makes it hilarious and entertaining.
Whose representation is this this?

Why has this representation been constructed in this way?
