Youth Lens in Feed

In Feed, youth and adolescence are viewed in a different way than we view them today. The youth are viewed as being spoiled and don’t listen to their parents or others in power. The adolescents aren’t much better to be honest. Most who have the feed are spoiled by it. Only the lower class comprising of those barely able to afford the feed and those who can’t afford it are normal. Adolescents in Feed are also unable to think for themselves and need the feed to make decisions for them.

Adults in Feed view adolescents as young adults who have the right to do whatever they want. This can range anywhere from going out and getting drunk at a party to downloading a virus that causes their feed and brains to malfunction. Adults view these things as normal. Then again, they grew up in the same society and were the products of their environment.

Rich and poor are also viewed differently in Feed. The rich are definitely more spoiled and more self-centered. The poor work harder and do what they can to survive. This reflects down on the youth and can easily be spotted in Titus and his friend group and also in Violet. Titus acts like a complete jerk while Violet tries to act normal.

All characters, whether young or old are stereotypes of modern day people in Feed. With the adolescents being the main focus of the story, attention is focused highly on their attitudes and they wind up drawing the short end of the stick. These youths and adolescents may seem normal to the adults in Feed but they seem very different to us.
