Blonde: Storytelling Reinvented The 2010’s have been an incredible decade for music, especially the Hip Hop and R&B genre. From experiencing Kanye West’s morality come to fruition in My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to Beyonce’s feelings of pain and heartbreak in Lemonade, this generation's ability to tell vivid stories through music illustrates an almost golden-age vibe.

Although J.D. Salinger and Kanye West are both very different, they share one glaring commonality: poverty. To most, poverty refers to lacking adequate financial resources; however, one can be impoverished, yet have all the money in the world. Poverty is simply the deprivation of something. While J.D. Salinger and Kanye West were never financially impoverished, they were both socially as well as psychologically impoverished. J.D. Salinger was arguably the most mysterious man of the nineteenth

The author’s use of language is an important piece for this article. The author used inflammatory language, metaphors, similes targeted towards younger generation.

I think one day we'll all wake up and understand the inner workings of Kanye West's mind and realize that all of his antics made sense, but today is not that day.
