@abbey_hutchings Although I did agree with Wald's assessment, think you made some great points that would have to agree with! Live concerts are very popular and exciting but sometimes they can be a letdown. #POPMUSW22

@emily_sharpe4 Hey Emily i agree! Live performances are often not what you expect as autotune gets used a lot when recording, and creates false expectations! #POPMUSW22

[Ashley Jefferies @ACJ78028692]

#POPMUSW22 I agree with Wald's judgment that most pop fans prefer to listen to their fav songs on their original recordings rather than live cover bands. Fans often have false expectations of what a song should sound like and they are disappointed when they hear it live

[Ashley Jefferies @ACJ78028692]

@abbey_hutchings I totally agree! These record companies are completely liable and they did take away from the original whereabouts of where it was created from. #POPMUSW22

@PardyAbigail I totally agree Abigail! It was cultural theft for sure, and it was aimed at white people like African-American people didn't exist. Good points! #POPMUSW22

[Ashley Jefferies @ACJ78028692]

Many artists and record labels, in my opinion, were guilty of cultural theft by using "schlock rock." This is because the music is primarily aimed at and created by white people as if classic African-American rock never existed.#POPMUSW22

@PardyAbigail That it very interesting to know Abigail! I also agree that the technique is very effective to make it more interesting to listeners. The technique is catchy. #POPMUSW22

[Ashley Jefferies @ACJ78028692]

@abbey_hutchings #POPMUSW22 I agree abbey! Without this sense of expression, no emotion would be portrayed, making the song less interesting.

I think Charles used the breaking voice to put emphasis on different aspects of the song. This emphasis creates emotion, which is effective in getting the attention of the audience, making his voice sound very unique. #POPMUSW22

@bmrowe17 I totally agree that Airpods do influence social class. This is because it is not cheap to afford these things. Although I don't think this should be a determinant of class #POPMUSW22

[Ashley Jefferies @ACJ78028692]

@OliviaR34156685 So true! Apple AirPods for sure serves as a symbol of wealth due to their expense of them. As well, they do provide a more personal listening experience, as you can easily pop them in wherever you are and listen!

@joseph_mus11 This is very true in today's society! Not very often do you hear talks of people getting a new Cd or record. When a new album is released we often just download the album on our streaming devices.

[Ashley Jefferies @ACJ78028692]

Wireless Beats is a recently developed technology used to listen to streaming devices such as Spotify. This influences one’s thoughts about others' personal identity in terms of class because this technology is not cheap. Devices like these make music very accessible #POPMUSW22

@MA20220106 Love story is a great example of a song that demonstrates the "picture perfect" love story. A great deal of music gets based on the idea of love, and what it is expected to be. When in reality this is never the case #POPMUSW22

[Ashley Jefferies @ACJ78028692]

@Monicak40659510 I totally agree! Most songs, especially in rap include the preeminence of drugs and how they make good times even greater. When in reality this is one of the most prominent examples of false needs #POPMUSW22

[Ashley Jefferies @ACJ78028692]

False needs that have been created by media industries are the proposal of what defines beauty in society. Often, popular music propagates a dumbed-down form of music because we focus more on the catchy rhythm of the music rather than the underlying meaning of the song #POPMUSW22
