Hey guys! For today's blog I’m going to be discussing about representation of my favorite Tv show, “Outer Banks”.
Outer Banks is a show about a group of kids who get into a lot of dangerous situations when on the hunt for treasure.
Throughout the show you can see very clearly that they live in a very stereotypical and selective town. Where the poor side of the outer banks are called “Pogues”, and the rich side are called “Kooks”. The groups of kids are “Pogues” who are known around the town as troublemakers and “juveniles”. Two major characters, “John B and JJ” who are considered “Pogues” are stereotyped by the kooks as being reckless and juvenile. This selection creates the idea that “Pogues” are trashy delinquents and untrusting, because of their different lifestyles. But if you are a “Kook you would be seen as wealthy and upper class, as well as more reliable and trustworthy. Such as the characters, “Rafe” and “Topper”.
Characters like, “Kiera” and “Sarah” were raised as kooks, but since they hang around the Pogues other people categorize them as being “trashy and reckless”. This shows that because of the stereotypes and selection there is, the Pogues are portrayed as bad people when in reality they are just kids who have a very low-income and work hard all day.
