Lifestyle Youth Collaboration, Literature, Media and Internet
Literature for urban youth is not represented by literary writers of the generation of Putu Wijaya until Linda Christanty though. Literature for urban youth is also not a literary newspaper, literary magazines such as Horizon, as well as cultural journals that contain short stories, poetry, and essays seriously. Literature is a literary association of urban adolescents who expressed in new mediums inherent in their lifestyle. Literature urban teenagers today is something completely independent of the chain of previous literary history. History of literature I mean the official version of literary history the critics, theorists, academics and writers themselves. This official literary history as well as history in general in favor of the interests of certain powers to the charge of subjectivity which is also thick in his historiography. In the context of urban adolescents in real terms, in fact so-called mainstream literature does not even exist. There is a very distant gap between literature and real life urban youth today.
Medium-medium of literary expression in the lifestyle of urban youth is now more or less a deconstruction of the medium of the previous expression that occurs as a result of technological developments. Pretension to write a literary work is no longer based on the motivation of big dreams, the ideas of rebellion, as well as gifted ideas to change the world. Urban adolescents now simply write on their blog about personal things daily picayune, send sms romantic at her boyfriend, or create a love song lyric that also simple. That is the medium of literary expression-medium urban youth today. On the other hand the authors generations "old" still preoccupied with dreams, confidence, arrogance, and great ideas to give birth to a magnum opus in "history" their authorship. Without realizing it, the gap is getting steep and deep, reminiscent of the criticisms decades ago about the ivory tower of his writers and artists as a whole.
Of course the problem can not be separated from "the values, criteria, theories" about what is called and considered a "literary". This also is the old problem that continues to hang without a settlement. For some writers, say for example Seno Gumira Ajidarma, Sapardi Djoko Damono, or Budi Darma, the so-called and regarded as "the criteria and values" of literature is relative and subjective. This view gives a wide space of freedom to think and what it is called literature. On the other hand, there are many writers and critics who hold the theory that whatever standard or something in which to mengategorisasikan a work as "literature". The view is then possible to make the books a kind of encyclopedia of Indonesian literature is never complete and intact. In the books were certainly there never was the name of Agni Amorita Goddess for example, teen short story writer of the 80s generation who often fill the sheet of short stories in various magazines and had also become winners of Femina Continue. In the books were certainly there will be no name or Aditya Mulya Raditya Dika, two young novelists today's fans spread among urban youth all over Indonesia. And in the books nor have there name FX Rudy Gunawan, author of short stories, essays, and novels whose works are also frequently published in literary newspaper (non-Compass) and dozens of his books have been published.
This is a stagnation of ironic. Generation of teenagers now feel no need to read literary works that are not noble civilization connects them with real life. There has been a paradigm shift that was never anticipated by the writers. Literature courses in school may be an effort ever undertaken to bridge this gap or melt stagnation. But because the frames that carry the "old mindset" and performed with the "old ways" as well, it can be said of this effort is less successful. A number of high school who attend may be more familiar with writer-poet and his works, but that's only limited results. Yet we now need is to create a new generation of lovers of literature and foster a fertile climate or atmosphere for the birth of a new generation of literary writers, fresh, and completely different.
In urban youth lifestyle now, movies and musiklah the most popular as part of their arts and cultural life. This is evident from the success of the novels that the movie adaptation was conceived and published by the publisher of specialist adolescent novel, GagasMedia. Almost all novel adaptations of national films sold tens of thousands of copies in a matter of months. This novel genre has managed to become part of the lifestyle of urban youth thanks to the collaboration between the world of film and literary world. Collaboration means a tangible interface with life. Collaboration becomes a pattern to melt stagnation and the birth of the "grounded". An ideal example of collaboration from the world of music is rock band Santana geeks who collaborated with the popular teenage singer in their last three albums released in recent years. Awareness of the legendary Santana as a group to stay in tune with the times indeed an exemplary humility in our literary world.
Literature should be part of the lifestyle of urban youth for literature should be part of real life including daily life with all the clutter problem that may be whiny, annoying, and not quality. But on what basis has the right to judge someone like that to the fact that real life? On the basis of what someone or some people have the right to judge a work? There is no single basis that could justify such attitudes. Conversely, it is an erosion of attitudes like that that will be able to integrate the literature in urban adolescent lifestyle.

Adolescent Lifestyle and Media
All types of media, be it Internet, television, movies, music, and magazines, big influence on our lifestyle today. Most of the media informed about adolescent lifestyle of the city, which incidentally mimics a modern lifestyle. So, do not be surprised if we were herded into highly consumptive.
Adolescence is the search for identity. We as young people start looking for a fit lifestyle and taste. We also began looking for an idol or a figure of identification that can be used as role models, both in the search for life style, speaking style, appearance, and others. Receive the effects we have encountered many friends with various attributes that in fact they only imitate it. Still not aware that soap operas are a lot of teens that offers a new lifestyle? The young star who is loved teenager was able to change the style.
During the teen idol is a very strong influence. Idol or figure will control our lives without us knowing it possible. Well, here's where the media
However, is it true that the media in such a bad influence for teens? Actually this is not one hundred percent. This is a challenge for us to sort out or selectively to the messages conveyed by the media. Because, can not be denied that the media presence is absolutely necessary. Because, on one side of the media allows us to know a variety of information, news, discovery, and new things. Or it could be concluded that the actual presence of the media also has positive and negative.
The presence of the media is not separated from the interests of the market. Thus, if we are not selective about the media messages, we will become victims of the media. not one was when we buy a product based on information from the media. However, keep in mind, how should the products we buy it for ourselves. Do we really need it or because our products are affected by the lure of that conveyed by the media.

Teens: Do not force yourself
it never hurts to look nice like that many advertised in the media, with some products offered to help realize that dream. It is also a reasonable thing to go shopping buy things favorite. However, we must remember, do not push yourself. If we follow the development of fashion clothing, for example, if you do not deserve, so do not have to be purchased, should we adjust ourselves. In short does not necessarily follow trends, but the important comfortable in our bodies. The point is important we confident, comfortable with yourself, accept what is, love yourself. In fact, it would be okay again if we can demonstrate the advantages of our other.
Well, explain? The media do have positive and negative impacts. We must be wise to do. How easy is to recognize ourselves and recognize what we think is very important. Recognize what we like, what can we tolerate from other people and things that make us feel steady. If after we consider all different from what the correct version of the media, that means we should immediately take the strategy. So, do not swallow a point-blank what he informed the media that do not simply become victims of the media.
