This video is a representation of the adolescence culture in our society. This video is a very good and realistic portrayal of our youth music scene. The gender representation is definitely directed towards girls between the ages of 12 to 16 years of age. It is very apparent that this is the target group by the actors in the video and the song. The young people in the video start out stand-offish and separate from one another. The girls are trying to ignore to boys in the bowling alley, but it only increase the boys’ interest in the girls and interrupt their play. Then the girls start to pay attention to boys and start responding and dancing with them. This not so typical of interaction between this age group, because both are unsure of the other and trying do thing to get the opposite sexes to notice each other. Young people today play many little games with each other, and many times just trying to be notice by their crush.
In small town America, many young people will go the bowling alleys and skating rinks to associate with their peers outside of school, except for church functions. These are consider safe place for young people to associate with each other in a relaxed, but overseen by adults. This video is a very good representation of the 21st century young person and the advantages they have their fingertips. This is not really any different type of association between young people over the years.
The merging of various music styles has been happening in all music genres through history. With merging of music styles helps to develop new styles, but always keeping to true music. Music is always revolving and creating new styles, which help music fresh and entertaining for all ages.
