I have watched Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus and made a comic using ComicLife in class. It is about a lowlife high school unpopular boy who just wants the girl of his dreams, Noelle. Noelle is the typical popular girl with blonde hair and designer clothes. She gets everything she wants, including the stereotypical football jock. This includes big muscles, mean, strong and wears a jersey. In the music video the band is singing during the video, they looks noticeably older than the actors playing the characters.
The music video has and old school feel due to it coming out in 2000 and it definitely is a stereotypical American high school. You can tell it's from around the 2000s because of what the characters are wearing. Nothing looks like modern day and this is made very clear. It sticks to the classic high school story, if it was a modern music video it would look and feel very different to how it was in 2000.
Please add your Comic Life work to this post as an image.
ReplyDeleteYou understand the main thrust of the narrative - the teenager's desperate desire to conform, be accepted, belong. You write well on stereotypes.
