Different representations of age can be found in music videos. The representation could follow stereotypes or counter stereotypes of age dependent on the song or genre of track the video is for.
This music video shows the stereotypical rebellious nature of kids. The artist of the song goes against his parents who tell him not to have a house party but does anyway once they leave. This also highlights teenagers stereotypical desire to drink and party, without caring about any consequences.
This music video shows a counter-type to the stereotypical teenager who's desire is to party and get drunk all time. In the music video we see teenage Justin Bieber helping people less fortunate than himself, a trait you wouldn't stereotypically see in young adults.
Although not a lot happens in this music video, the simplicity of it and the editing (black and white filter) reflects the simple stereotype behind older people, black and white film being used before film with colour was developed.
