- Ill Manors can be linked to the identity of the youth since in it, we more often than not see representations that align with what Acland discusses of the youth represented as deviants within society.
This can be seen with the numerous occasions in the film that we see young people being the perpetrators of a variety of crimes.
As well as this, the music video for 'Ill Manors' shows off large groups of the youth as being harbingers for public disorder with how the way in which they're rioting in the street.

-Identity of working class people and usually younger people
