We finished watching the documentary on the hunt for cool. In the last couple segments, it talked about the midriff, the female version of the mook, and how teen rebellion is just another product. A midriff is a sexualized character created by industries to be like an icon for teenage girls so that they will be more interested in the product. An example of a midriff is Brittany Spears.
They also talked about Insane Clown Posse and Limp Bizkit and other "rage rock" bands that are really commercialized and made to make kids feel like they are understood, like they have something to rebel against. They feel like they are they are the only ones listening to the music even though it has become mainstream.
