The document discusses representations of social groups in a student magazine. It acknowledges that the magazine could be seen as reinforcing stereotypes that students are "wasters" who party excessively. However, it argues that by focusing on indie/folk music, the magazine also represents readers as intellectuals who enjoy both partying and cultural activities like reading. While not fully challenging dominant views of youth, the front cover image of a calm model engaged in a creative activity provides a small challenge to expectations.
