The pictures of great artists blended with historical detail are embodied in his poems. Vasari’s Lives of the artistsis the source of the…

masculinity means the possession of characteristics that are usually attributed to men; but is masculinity challenged due to the messages that song lyrics convey? Do the lyrics affect how men perceive themselves in front of society? These two questions should be in mind when listening to certain songs because I believe males are heavily influenced by lyrics as they create stereotypes and negative stigmas to follow.
