Plan B- ill Manors

Plan B uses this video as an artist in order to show the shocking view of how youths are presented. Through his lyrics he shows some key ideas that he has about youths and when discussing his reasons during the interview talks about why the riots may have occurred, once being a youth himself who understands their point of view. He admits that showing the graphic and shocking footage of the video is done to show a fine representation of the way in which youths in a lower class live to those who may not understand. His satirical lyrics against the government and people of a higher class are used to "try and get under the skin of government and youths" and change the way in which youths are perceived. He views rioting in a negative light saying that "they've just made it harder for themselves" by "fueling how people feel about them anyway" and guaranteeing the negative feedback that youths have from the media. However he does discuss a possible reason for the youths behaviour saying that if they are seen in a negative light so often that youths will think "I'm never going to change the way you think of me so I'm going to just fuel the fire" and behave how you think I do. He does however discuss how youths are perceived from middle class people saying "just because you are born into a family that can afford an education doesn't make you better it makes you lucky" which is maybe how people need to have a view on rather than judging lower classes making the distance felt by youths between them and the general public smaller and may make them feel more part of the community.
