Our look at what the teens and tweens of America are watching. We peer into their world through the lens of Youtube. You may have caught some of our earlier episodes, if not, follow this link [and scroll down past this post].
This video from Yung Humma is blowing up. He introduces the portmanteau "smang." We can't decide if Yung and his buddy, Flynt Flossy, are being facetious in the manner of the Steam Punk movement, ala Professor Elemental, or keeping it real.

This fascinating video was filmed by students at East Chapel Hill High School. It tracks cultural recognition. It is an eye-opening look, don't get to caught up on the youthful respondents, ask yourself how much better your friends would do.

A fourteen year old friend sent this our way. Apparently, teens can accept parodies of that which they love.

The kids they still love the physical comedy and the slapstick humor. The message is in the action, not some highfalutin reference or irony. Check out the satirization of country singer Kenny Rogers below doing "Jackass", the eighth graders who sent this video our way had no idea who Kenny Rogers was, nor had they ever seen him. They still found this video utterly hilarious.

The kids they love the Auto-tune, Christina Aguilera's opinion not withstanding. Likely, we are witnessing the first Auto-tune generation, people who do not remember before it was possible to bend pitch to the nearest true tone. Of course, those are not the only fun and games that you can play with Auto-tune, see the witness below for evidence.

This time we ran into a t-shirt at the mall that said, "Hide your wife. Hide your kids." And we were like, yo, what is that about?
Apparently, it is about this. And that, spawned this...Which is what they are watching. Amazing.

What they are watching...Episode XII
Our look at what the teens and tweens of America are watching. You may have caught some of our earlier episodes, if not, follow this link and [scroll down]. This, our latest episode, is more than a little different.
The rumor circulating is that the YouTube hosted video was made by two teens who secretly recorded their friend. Which in light of the recent tragedy at Rutgers University, is a sketchy premise.
In this video, the friend was allegedly tripping on acid and sitting in a closet. His pals recorded his ramblings and wrote some animation to go with the spew. Intriguing and hard to characterize. Edgy. One has to wonder about the consent (even subsequent) of the party involved. Or whether it could have been staged.
Safe for work save for a couple of f-bombs.

In this case what they are watching is Shinee, which according to their Wikipedia entry is pronounced like shiny. They are, if this conglomeration of phrases can hold any collective meaning, a contemporary R&B South Korean boy band. Now you have got them pegged, right? Here is their latest single, "Lucifer."
One thing is for sure, they can dance.

Our look at what the teens and tweens of America are watching. You may have caught our first couple of episodes. This is less of a what are they watching and more of a what are they listening to, in this case Asher Roth.
Kind of a catchy tune.

What they are watching... Episode VI
Our look at what the teens and tweens of America are watching. You may have caught our first couple of episodes. This clip is a little cheesier than most...
The American Mall is a musical produced by the same folks that produced Disney's smash hit High School Musical. The American Mall did not get rave reviews or high ratings on the first go round. However, it appears to be picking up a modest amount of steam on You Tube.

What they are watching...Episode IV
Our weekly look at what the teens and tweens of America are watching. You may have caught our first couple of episodes. We knew the 80's had made a big comeback. Seriously, who ever figured Journey, without Steve Perry, would be huge again? But we did not know it had gone this far.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Really?
Apparently so. Kind of cool in a strangely twisted way.

What are they watching...Episode III
Our weekly look at what the teens and tweens of America are watching. You may have caught our first couple of episodes. This week we highlight a song that we have heard as the ring tone for some young ballers.
Do the youngsters in a college town understand what this song is about? Is the conglomerate a response by outsiders to the structure and strictures of government?

What are they watching...Episode II
Last week you may have caught our first episode of "What are they watching?" It will be a weekly look at some of the most popular You Tube videos amongst Americas tweens and teens. We are counting on our public to send these videos our way. If you have one, please post a comment or email us at clarioncontent@gmail.com. We would love to hear your feedback.
This week we are featuring a video by the New Boyz called "You're a Jerk." It centers around an initially underground dance movement called Jerkin that sprung up not that long ago in Los Angeles in California. Though many dance crews are into Jerkin', the New Boyz are credited with popularizing it.
