Keep in mind that Spring Breakers was the work of a notorious provocateur, regarded at the height of his career for being possibly too in-touch with the youth of the day for the comfort of the wider audience.
Sadly, however, I feel that whatever insight Korine might have had to offer has since been swapped out for a significantly less sophisticated and general desire to shock, whether this is meant to catalyze some sort of discussion or possibly just to push his product. As far as I am concerned, the entire project peaked at its casting and failed to fire beyond that.
