2) Complete the task on page 2: suggest media texts that could reinforce that someone is non-mainstream; edgy; a pleasure seeker; fashionable; witty and fun; cutting-edge.
I am a person that tends to make my own trends and it then allows me to be different. When things go viral I even get time to even to see them to be honest and don’t talk about these types of events unless its something worth talking about. therefore when someone messages me i don't reply because I don't actually use my phone.
I like to smoke, get drunk and do what I want. I only care about myself and don’t care what people think of me so that’s why I read the DAILY Mail.
a pleasure seeker
I like to watch things that are rated very highly so I know what I am watching is good. I like to read inspirational quotes on the internet to get my day started.
fashionable
I mostly only use Instagram as I can see all the design I follow and see what the latest trends are. I used my media to let people see my outfits and read GQ as well as Vogue to make sure I keep up with new fashionable products.
