Primary
The film is an observational, naturalistic depiction of youth culture and its consequences, presenting a social problem without explicitly advocating for a specific ideological solution or critique from either a left or right perspective.
The film features a cast with some visible diversity, consistent with its urban setting, but does not engage in explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative focuses on the specific social dynamics and challenges within a youth subculture, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities or explicitly centering DEI themes.
Secondary
Kids depicts a male character engaging in transactional sex with an older man, presented as a desperate act within the film's bleak portrayal of youth. A homophobic slur is also used without narrative challenge.
