PICTURE COLLAGE



Looks familiar?

It's because this is a collage of singapore's teenage youth culture.
Many Singaporean youths like us like to indulge ourselves in the world of games and social chat rooms when we're not studying or revising. These are the current trends that are in vogue. The STOMP of Straits Times is a platform for Singaporeans to share and pass on information through pictures about shocking things happening around the small world of singapore. Usually used to oust bad behavior exhibited by some ungracious people, it has also been used to praise and give commendation to good Samaritans. 
Flappy bird is a mobile game that has gone viral after it's release for its addictive gameplay. Although it is not the only popular game that Singaporean youths play, here, it symbolises games as a feature of singapore's youth culture.
Twitter and whatsapp are both sharing platforms. Whatsapp is a chat room and twitter is for netizens to post statuses. They are the leading sharing platforms in singapore with stomp and Instagram and Facebook.
9gag is a site where users can post humorous comics , memes, or pictures. In a way, it works like STOMP but has been on longer than STOMP and has a larger variety of comedy that stretches across a global platform. A deviant site, S-GAG aka singapore gag has been created for Singaporeans to post funny things they witness in singapore. Sgag is more popular with youths in singapore as more of the youths nowadays have access to internet.
U.S.S is a iconic feature of singapore. Once there, you'll not only find curious tourists but also curious Singaporean youths.
