Zeitgeist Definition: In German it means "the spirit of the age" and would be defined by the intellectual and cultural issues of the time period.
Relating to One Tree Hill:
One Tree Hill's zeitgeist revolves around the high school scene and how so many teenagers are affected by issues such as bullying, sports injuries, family and home life problems, relationships and mental illnesses. Issues like these in high school were shown to be very prominent in the 2000s through television shows like One Tree Hill but the issues also carry on in the past, present and future and help people, like these characters find who they are and where they go in life.
