Show by James A. Brown
Every generation wants something a little bit different from their media, and according to a recent survey by UCLA's Center for Scholars and Storytellers, the Homelanders, or Gen Z, are no different.Many young people between age 10 and 24want to see less romance and promiscuity in movies and TV shows.Nearly 50% of them say that sex is not necessary for most stories.And a little over 50% of them want more plots centered on platonic friendships.According to the study's author, what the survey is really saying is that they want more in different kinds of relationships reflected in media.adolescents aren't pumped about other reoccurring Hollywood storylines.Among their bugaboos are stories about how relationships are necessary for happiness.Plots where the male and female leads always end up together romantically.They don't like happy endings.And of course, love triangles.My takeaway is that these young people want stories that feel more authentic and real and familiar.Stories that give them a sense of belonging in an unstable world.What do you think?And do we use too much sex in media?Tell me in the comments at jamesbrowntv.substack.com or email me at [email protected] can also leave me a message at 585-484-0339.On that note I’m James Brown and as always be well
