Ending the "War against Youth": Social Media and Hip-Hop Culture as Sites of Resistance, Transformation and (Re) Conceptualization.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to ameliorate the virulent discursive and material attack against today’s’ border’ youth launched by large-scale corporations and Western politicians. Specifically, the authors problematize the dominant tropes of youth being mindless, obedient objects who passively accept the stark social reality they experience due to corporate logics trumping the needs and welfare of global citizens. Based on their empirical and cultural work with Hip Hop artists in the US and Canada, and through relevant examples in other global contexts, the authors illustrate that numerous Hip Hop artists are critically aware of the forces causing oppression in their social worlds and are actively employing various forms of social media for personal empowerment and social justice ends. Finally, the authors generate a conceptual model—Hip Hop Activist Praxis— for the purpose of not only articulating the processes utilized by Hip Hop youth, artists and activists, but also aiding concerned scholars, educators and practitioners in challenging their views of youth, Hip Hop culture and technology, and (re) conceptualizing their partnerships with youth.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
