The 1950’s- 1960’s saw a big change in society, as well as in the constant growing music industry. In the States and the Uk, people were still holding onto many aspects of the past: -World War 2 for example, and the crisis that many people went through, which many artists in future decades used and were inspired by different social and cultural events which gave inspiration to make some of the most well known songs in classic rock in the 80’s: for example: the song “one” by Metallica- which is…

Introduction The Pinkprint (2014), Nicki Minaj’s third album, is one of her most successful releases to date, displaying Minaj in her truest form of raw femininity and strength, two characteristics which, previously, had not coincided with each other in the rap industry. She uses traditional gangster rap’s objectification of women, especially those of color, in a way that promotes women and femininity in an empowering manner. The hiphop industry is one which is rooted in misogynistic views and…

he sells drugs, and I buy drugs. It‘s that easy to be friends with someone, really. Doug is kind of on the short side, maybe reaching 5’’7 on a good day. With his naturally blond hair, which he wears in a crew cut, he sort of resembles a circa 1999 Eminem, but sadly lacking the „sexy-dangerous“ kind of vibe. I know that he‘s had a crush on me ever since we met, but I don‘t really see that happening ever. On the other hand, he‘s rich and sells drugs, so that‘s always a turn-on. He‘s 18 years old…

Before we went separate ways, I played with someone's teddy bear but I don't know to whom it was. Maybe it belonged to Boribo? First of all, we went into a supermarket where some of us bought their lunches. Mael, Valentine, Ly and Boribo shared a sushi plate. It looked mouthwatering. I wanted to get some Dutch specialty like stroopwafels but I hadn't enough money. Instead, I walked around with Zoé. She was looking for a tobacconist. We went until the end of the street and back before asking to…

Since rock and roll did not begin till the mid 1950s the youth was still being held to strict tidy polices by parents and educators. Social cultural wise the teens were to dress in an specific manner where the males must be dressed in tight jeans, button up shirts and letterman cardigans. As for the girls they had to wear ballet flats with long poodle skirts. The youth of the 50s was also given the same social norms that their parents acquired when they were young. Many of the recreational…

The word Chav has been described in the Cambridge English dictionary as “an insulting word for someone, usually a young person, whose way of dressing, speaking, and behaving is thought to show their lack of education and low social class”. It’s used in the British slang as an informal derogatory word. When looking at the Oxford Dictionary they use a description of origin as a youth who is described as being ‘Romany’. The word Chav is thought to have come from the Romani word ‘boy’ or ‘chavvy’…

It is minutes later now and we are trudging down an overgrown trail, tactfully descending the deep slopes of New Mexican land. Everything smells strongly of mud and salt and soaked manure from the horse barn down the road. I almost trip over a weed, but my father steadies me and says, “Almost there, baby.” The arroyo is different than I have ever seen it. It is scattered with long, silver puddles. In the pink glow of the rising sun, the sand looks shiny and slippery. Around us, green tufts of…

“Life is amazing always give thanks no matter what” snapchats DJ Khaled as he jet skis off into the sunset (Khaled). This is something that I find to be inspirational. I find inspiration in these words from DJ Khaled because what he is saying is true, life is amazing and no matter what happens in our lives we should always give thanks.
