Abstract

The article analyses the connection between the use of YouTube by young people and current political culture. Based on Rezo’s YouTube video “The Destruction of the CDU”, the text explores the question of how young people use the Internet and in particular video platforms to obtain information and form opinions. YouTube is thus conceived as a place of political information and education that serves the visual in particular. In discussions about the Rezo video, the difference in digital-political action between the younger and older generation was increasingly drawn as a line of distinction. In contrast, the text explains that and to what extent political media cultures are to be thought in and beyond generational relations.
