Youth are often represented as wealthy, beautiful, and in love, while the elderly have their own stereotypes. Working class styles represent values like respect earned from peers. Music videos use different locations and settings to visually represent the genre and meaning of songs, with locations sometimes providing backdrops that correlate to lyrics. Popular areas used in videos can develop connotations over time, such as Los Angeles symbolizing achieving dreams and London symbolizing grime and social issues.
