picture taken during the london riots, making evident that the culture industry, as Adorno states, perpetuates stereotypes through all forms of media. 

Skins reinforces the dominant ideology as the teenagers are represented through irresponsible behaviour and recklessness; drugs, drinking and sex seem to be a predominant theme. This also abides by Adorno's theory as the Culture Industry maintains this image of teenagers despite it being a stereotype. The image is reused and even shown in the film Shank.
