How do the dominant representations of Teenagers reflect their collective identity?

Teenage Radio  - Kiss 100
Capital FM
Radio 1

Adult Radio- Classic FM
BBC radio 4

The songs played on Kiss 100 target a teenage audience. The lyrics in some of them include explicit words and phrases for example, Nicki Minajs songs. This language represents teenagers as many teenagers use this type of language in todays society, words such as "hoe". Whereas, radio stations such as BBC Radio 4 does not represent teenagers at all as the music played is not aimed at them.

Kiss 100 Fm also advertise things such as itunes festival tickets which relates to a teenage audience. After 9pm on some evenings Rap songs are played. This represents teenagers as most tenenagers listen and create this style of music in todays society. This is sometimes frowned upon and seen negatively as most of the lyrics consist of "sex, violence and crime".

Classic FM play more calm and chilled out music which teenagers would find boring and not something they would choose to listen to. The language used on this channel is more formal compared to the language sometimes used on Radio 1 where they speak more formally including slang words.
