Skins is the perfect show for angsty teenagers who want to justify their shitty behaviour. It has single-handedly spawned a generation of drug-addled morons who think life ACTUALLY happens like a TV show. Not even mentioning the "Skins parties" that came around after the first seasons release. Mindless "teen drama" television.

For the record I'm not anti-drugs or fun. I actually use opiates and smoke weed on a near-daily basis. Partying is fun, mimicking television show characters is not.

Actually, the first season was tolerable but it really wasn't that engaging. The characters are narcissistic and abrasive. Or maybe I'm an adult and I don't "get it".

Hasn't that been happening since the late 80's though?

More so since Skins came around trust me bro. You needed to be in England when the first season kicked off and you would SERIOUSLY understand where I'm coming from.

Either way my views are completely subjective and most likely contrary to other peoples since they eat this shit up. Personally though I've seen massive changes in the hivemind IRL regarding drug-use and pushing an "image". Thankfully most of it has died down but has been, nearly, replaced with all this "swag" nonsense.

Well, I was speaking form a similar point of view, only with older shows and films. And music. Think of the late 80's golden era of raves and kitchen sink shows and such.

Okay.

I loved the first two series of Skins and that cast. I thought the cast after them was meh at best. I haven't seen it since then, though.
