Here we see them out of hand at a jazz concert here seriously and collected we know that they are looking for role models 5 on the sports field or in the cinema, in clubs and communities, at work, at leisure, or in politics. But all too often, the youth of today is geared to external manifestations. This escape in which exteriority is a longing that is 1 I reflected in five words would be a type.
The type or the simulacrum of a type that is considered as bewundernsund desirable.

In the dichotomy between the distinctive German Gretchen and uniforms Brigitte fights uncertainty, that wants to hide in the uniformity with the self-confident appearance in public. It is doubt s documented the youthful sense of community and a sense of togetherness in hairstyles and hats. Adults may find it mundane or ridiculous, but you know already appreciate the teenager as purchasing power. The slope to the uniformity is one of the most striking features when the youth of today. They love the same restaurants and the same music and they speak the same casual condescending jargon already, so how we overheard him in a Berlin restaurant and tried to translate for the uninitiated.
