What are the
sub-genres of Teen Drama films?
Sub-genres are another way of
categorising films. Teen films can be separated into two sub-genres: Youth and
High-School Drama.
Youth Drama
Youth dramas have less support than high
school dramas. This type of film focuses on the social problems a main
character faces, which is often shown through a male character. These films
tend to portray a rebellious main character challenging a figure of authority
and being in conflict with other characters. It highlights the difficulties
experienced by adolescents and portrays youth as difficult and problematic.
This type of film is very popular among teenagers.
High School Drama
This type of film was popular in the
1970s to the 1990s. There was a lot of variation with the sub-genre. It focuses
on the socialisation of teenagers or young adults in an institution: school,
college, and universe or at home. They usually celebrate youth or the coming of
age. They tend to be focused on girls, but usually have a male lead. They
usually involve change, make-overs or conflict between different groups in an
institution.
