Stereotypes in music videos
Stereotypes are the media's way of representing groups of people in a way that is easy for audiences to understand. For example old people are represented as grumpy and slow, and teenagers are represented as rebellious and trouble makers.
Music videos often break this representation, through showing the represented group juxtaposing with the stereotypes portrayed on that group. For example the music video of Avicii's "Waiting for Love" features an elderly couple who are in love, and when the man wakes up without his wife, he goes on a pursuit across the country for her.
