ABOUT THE SITE: Welcome! In this blog I share my personal thoughts and musings about Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. Popular culture is vast and ever-changing, as are the topics in my blog. The name "Unicorn Youth" came about as I looked at my two nieces who are completely enamoured with anything unicorn. Everywhere you go, there are unicorns. Pyjamas, horn headbands, dress up costumes, stationary, books, bedsheets and birthday cakes, to name but a few. In turn, this trend will fade and change, just as the obsession with fairies, pineapples and trolls did, but for now is important and meaningful to them and the kids around them. Unicorns are part of their youth culture.
