Moved on from 'hoody horrors'- less violence:

obsessed with social media

tanager boys (age 15) addicted to porn

rise of geeks/gamers

YouTubers 

Overview on teenager representations

During war teenagers gained power because they were able to get jobs and start earring money for themselves. 

When the men came back from war they didn't like the power the teenagers had gained so started creating negative representations of teenagers. Due to the media being created by 'white, middle aged, middle class man' the teenagers no longer had the power to stand up for themselves. 

Nowadays, everyone is digital native. Due to the rise of technology, anyone can be a media producer (e.g. YouTube). This means that teens now have more power and can create their own representations of themselves. 

There are many successful teenage YouTubers and they are the opposite from 'hoodie horrors'- there aren't threatening or scary, and seem like nice, respectable people.

The Guardian

The guardian is left wing so would side more with the teenagers and this is shown by their use of words: 'young and dispossessed'. 'Dispossessed' is suggesting that they are hard done by society/ they have nothing/ it's not their fault.
 
The quotation at the side (enlarged-draws attention) is from the point of view of one of the rioters. It is interesting that the image they have used does not have any rioters/youth in it as most articles have an image of a a hoodie in front of a fire. This image doesn't represent youth in a bad way it just shows that society are trying to solve what has gone one (with firemen putting out the fires).
