In “What Pop Lyrics Say to Us Today” writer Robert Palmer analyzes pop lyrics over the recent decades and concludes pop music sends dominant messages that are influential to young people. Pop has always thoroughly responded to current events, and today’s pop music continues to reflect that culture. To begin with, pop can change attitudes toward love. Palmer first refers to stars such as Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones who endorse sex to urge social change and revolution. Their music was a voice and reminder to older generations that they possessed influential power. True romantic notions tend to be viewed with some suspicion. Palmer also discusses how in comparison to music of the 60’s, idealisms have changed since current times. The Beatles

Music is part of everyday life and serves as the center of many cultures across the world. Music brings out the best parts of a movie, a car ride, or even a special event. The purpose of music varies from artist to artist and different cultures. Every piece of music carries a unique message, but a song, in particular, carries meaning. “Runaway Love” by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige, exploits the struggles of young girls by using rhetorical techniques, such as pathos, ethos, logos, tone, and visual rhetoric throughout the music video to raise national awareness about youth runaways.

For this Social Commentary Paper, the prompt is to choose two songs from different genres that are centered on the same social issue. After much thought, domestic violence was chosen. According to the Department of Justice, domestic violence is the abusive behavior from an individual within a relationship, resulting in physical or emotional harm to their partner. This includes, but is not limited to, hitting, shoving, name calling, or undermining an individual’s sense of self-worth. First, Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away” (May 1, 2012), from the album of the same name, is sad and dramatic with its deep meaningful lyrics (ITunes). In short, it is about a young girl who lives with her abusive alcoholic father. Without going into much detail, she hopes her father and the memories of him will vanish. Secondly, Green Day’s “Pulling Teeth” (Jan. 28, 1994), from the album titled Dookie, is about an abusive relationship where the woman beats up the man. Although scared of the abuse, the man continues to stay in the relationship as the woman says multiple times that she loves him. Both songs mentioned above have a very deep relationship between the music that is being played and the lyrics that are being sung. This connection will be discussed in much more detail in Section D.

This article discusses the scandal Justin Bieber was involved in with Mariah Yeater back in 2011. She had been said to be the main focus of the song due to her accusations of being impregnated by music artist, Justin Bieber. The theme of this song also highly resembles Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” not just by the way it sounds, but from the outlook of the situation. Each song incorporates a problem with a girl who is in search of their attention. Some think it’s for the money or fame but Justin later states in the song how she might not even be after any of that. Maybe all this time she just wanted him to like her.

and “Without you there is no me” (Pierce the Veil). This prevalence of love in such a popular media proves just how important love is to humanity and defining it. It also shows how everyone knows about love from a very young age, as anyone who listens to the radio are easily exposed to loving themes. By having it in everyday society from a young age, it's showing how important it is to society itself. One cannot simply be considered human without

The topic of femininity in pop culture is important today because women are still far from achieving equality with men socially, economically, and politically. Music is a huge part of everyday life and affects millions of people. The music industry is intertwined throughout many outlets of the media. From commercials, to television, to the radio, music is a part of everybody’s daily life. What is noteworthy about trendy music today is that the messages that the artists are singing about can influence the listener's behavior, even though they may not consciously know this. With many popular anthems being so influential in every aspect of today’s world, we have to closely look at the correlation between music and how this alters how people act in today’s culture. Those who’ve been closely following the trends in country music over the last few years have had a sense that songs that objectify and degrade women (“bro-country”) have been on the rise, but it was only anecdotal evidence that we could

Rihanna’s composition of various scenes in her music video “We Found Love”, explores the destruction of her relationship overtime. She begins the video with scenes based in present-time that exhibit the aftermath of her drug-influenced relationship. Significantly, blemished makeup, distraught body language, artificial lighting, and disheartening non-diegetic sounds create an ominous impression of how the relationship malfunctioned over time. By transferring to flawless costumes, lighthearted body language, and cheerful non-diegetic pop music, Rihanna shifts to a flashback of the relationship’s carefree moments while simultaneously juxtaposing the couple’s current drug-induced devastation with the past memories of the blissful connection that

While recovering from a career of substance abuse, the life surrounding an addict frequently crumbles beneath his feet. In the midst of his advancement through the climax of his career, a famous musician fell victim to the lust of narcotics and longing for his band’s performances as well as the band itself. This scenario arose on a worldwide stage for Steven Tyler, who first stepped into the spotlight with rock and roll hall of fame band Aerosmith, in 1970. Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith, recorded his first solo song, “Love Lives”, divulging his jaded emotions of losing his band, wife, and essentially, soul during the early stages of his now historic career. Tyler encapsulated rhetoric to efficiently describe his sense of loss.Intentionally, not only does Tyler’s tune consist of the underlying regrets in his heart, it also contains a simplistic plotline for less conflicted listeners. Although Tyler’s song appears to be just another cliche love song, the ballad capitalizes on parallelism, nostalgic imagery and diction, and ambiguity to expose the tremendous loss he suffered as a result of his career crippling drug addiction and the overwhelming success that emerged from the ashes of his past. Reminiscent upon his history, Tyler begins his recollection with parallelism.

The 1980’s consisted of several historical events and societal changes that have been relived though the lyrics of many young hip-hop artists. Of the numerous genres of songs, hip-hop has been labeled as of the most relatable genres. During this 1980’s, many of the songs that were written by male hip-hop artist tend to focus on the relationship aspect of male and female interactions. This finding is similar to what was stated in Frith’s article (1986) that most successful pop songs were about being “happy in love” and “frustrated in love” as well as having a sex interest (p. 78). Instead of using derogatory terms to describe women, men felt the need to use more delicate and gentle terms. Through their music, artists portrayed women as individuals who provide love, support, happiness and fulfillment to a man’s life. Furthermore, male artists portrayed themselves as men who weren’t afraid to express their emotions, admit their dependency on women, and their willingness to do what it takes to keep a woman. There were no signs of hypermasculinity or dominance in the first few songs
