Iggy Pop

There he was, amidst those whose fate was so tragic my heart ached. He was entering the castle I knew and loved. My father allowed those who were going into the maze one final feast. The house was decorated with flowers and ribbons hanging from the ceilings accompanied by delicacies the chefs prepared only this time of year. I hated this time of year, the time when innocent civilians were sacrificed for my father 's Minotaur. It always seemed like the angel of death was lurking through the…

Colbie Caillat is a pop artist who loves to love love, and she’s not afraid of letting the whole world know all about it repeatedly in her 2007 hit album, Coco. Her work was far from enjoyable, but in order to fully dislike her for her work on this album, and to prevent you from picking it up, or listening to another album like it, it’s important to understand some of her past history, such as the reasons that explain her desire to get into the music business in the first place. For instance,…

to discover what exactly has kept Iggy Pop’s and Taj Mahal’s careers in the pop music industry alive and well. Even after many years in the industry, both Iggy and Taj have continued to remain relevant. Although they do not adapt to the ever changing trends of cultural taste and musical popularity, they have not been dismissed by fans, and perhaps their independence from the trends has kept the interest of people.

Iggy Azalea was supposed to meet pop star Britney Spears for lunch on Wednesday’s episode of the “Watch what happens live!” Iggy has claimed that Britney’s people take great care of her and that also to such an extent that they literally swept through her house before the star arrived for lunch. The team made sure that they keep a check on everything which could disturb the mood or preference of their queen. They are extremely protective of the star, which made them monitor and check Iggy’s…

is the use of another culture’s practices or traditions as a way to simplify or stereotype without understanding the meaning. Even with honest intentions, simple representations of another culture can be offensive. The song/film “Bhool Bhulaiyaa”, Iggy Azalea’s song “Bounce”, and the Newsweek Article “God of all Things” fall victim to cultural appropriation in what seems to be a harmless representation of another culture. The song/film Bhool Bhulaiyaa depicts what seems to be a rap video with a…

The Hippie era has come to end and the days of self awareness have arrived. Instead of focusing on love to all, many Americans were indulging in their own self pleasure. According to Alfred Kinsey’s research,” Americans sexual behavior deviated from their widely accepted norms” (Escoffier 1). Wilhelm Reich added to Kinsey’s research with the remark that he, “believed sexual repression overwhelmingly distorted psychological development “(Escoffier 1). To further societies receptivity of…

Trevor Dunn said that “Pop culture is not about depth. It is about marketing, supply and demand, and consumerism.” This is a well put statement because when something falls into the category of popular culture, it is mass produced in efforts to make the most profit possible. Popular culture is rarely produced from moral intentions. When a rapper mentions black rights in his music, is it because he legitimately cares about the issue? Or did his manager encourage the lyrics because there was a…

had talent, I mean the guy could sing but honestly, he stole black culture. That is a classic case of colorism in music, people appreciating the same music more towards a person with lighter skin. I believe it’s in all genres, rock, hip-hop, jazz, pop, country, you name it. People honestly will prefer if a white person or a lighter skinned tone person did music rather…
