They form their own hyper-reality. Amelie • Neutrality • Music • White • Love • High-class • Smoking La Haine • Violence • Black and white (sadness) •

Context Trumpton Trumpton - Distinctive stop animation style, beginning in the 1960s. Trumpton reflects the mythical small-town "family values", often championed by right-wing politicians, who Radiohead dislike. It is a small bubble of middle England that is not troubled by external forces. Wickerman Neil Howie travels to Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a young girl, Rowan Morrison.

This led to adding 80s nostalgia to the show, which eventually brought in a secondary audience for the show; those who were born in the 80s.  The shows primary audience consists of teenagers and young adults, and is able to maintain this by being a Netflix Original, a streaming service which is popular with this age group.
