21 Jump Street

21 Jump Street contains many sub genres that are normally associated with teen films.

Party & Music

Partying and music are the two conventions portrayed in the teen film 21 Jumps Street. This shows the sort of thing teenagers get up to during their time at college, as you really see their behaviour come out more once they're socialised with their peers. Offensive language and sexual acts are committed really reflecting on how the teenagers act.

Drugs & Alcohol

Drugs and alcohol are another common convention that may be portrayed in teem films. this tells audiences that teens can only be happy through drugs, drinking and partying etc. drug consumerism also makes drugs seem minor and very easy.

Characters

Eric Molson is the cool kid, no one gets in his way, normally chased after my many girls, the big name at high school.

Schmidt is the victim, has no friends and is always bullied, very low confidence but fancies a girl and stumbles every time he has the opportunity to ask a girl out.

Molly Tracey is the pretty, blonde girl that Schmidt fancies, blonde hair which conforms to the stereotype of teens, seen as arrogant through the beginning, and sometimes very sarcastic.
