Plan B Activity

In this video, rapper Plan B uses his single to show how youths are presented because of things such as the London riots. He is trying to give he youth a fair voice by the lyrics and images he uses in his video making out the youth are portrayed more negatively than they should be. His satirical and judgmental lyrics such as "CHAV" which in the video stands for "Council Housed And Violent" is an argument against the the rich upper classes judging the youths because of their background. He discusses with the interview below as he understands growing up as a youth in a poor part of Britain. He further suggests this with the chorus of the song "Oi, I said Oi, what you looking at you little rich boy?" suggesting the rich are looking down upon youths  no matter what without giving them a chance. Although in the interview he says the riots "disgusted" him it doesn't give people to right to talk down to everyone who is within the youth bracket, everyone has a right whether they have a different musical taste or have very little education. This video is a statement that young people aren't as bad as they are represented in the media, the media use events such as the riots to create a moral panic against the young people and it should stop.
