Adolescence

It was not that long, adolescence was not recognized by the community. It was an individual state, as well as the elderly. In Western cultures, adolescence has become a social phenomenon. It is a state at once childish and serious.

Provocation on the part of adults emerged from the artists before and during the Second World War (Romanticism, Dada ...), claim against all institutions of society (family, state, church, army, school ...) . From 1950, teenagers taking on board all these claims, all these emotional. In 1960, emergence of music to express them. In 1970, in addition to music, the opposition expressed by the adult world politicization (concerts in support or protest, politically committed singers). 1980, widespread access to drugs that we share during concerts or events before. 1990: the refusal of family traditions expressed through a different behavior, for example (access to the file "food pipe"). In 2000, the great uncertainty of unemployment, the difficulty of housing, and a lesser protection for families or adult society led them to recreate their virtual world to isolate all of them (video games , computers ...) and to find them (internet, phone ...). Adolescents become addicted in this way art and media.
