Credibility is when someone can trust you or rely on you. Tom Cruse is a good example because Credibility is important for a band because if a ton of people are hearing about how you messed up in whatever way, or how fast people leave the band because one person can never get along with anyone, people won’t want to be a fan of them! The personalities of members in a band, really affects their fan base.
Woe Is Me, is a metalcore band from Atlanta, Georgia formed in 2009. They were signed to Rise Records. The only original member that stayed in the band was the guitarist Kevin Hanson after their album Numbers. The band was founded in 2009 by the former Of Machines drummer Austin Thorton who started the band along with Kevin Hanson, Cory Ferris, and Ben Ferris, who were all formerly of a local Atlanta-based band named Cheyne Stokes. Time Sherril, who left Shooter Mcgavin, also joined in! These five members then invited Michael Bohn and Tyler Carter for unclean and clean vocal positions (Ciesa). After recording a few songs and covers, Rise Records signed them before they even played their first show. They recorded their debut album Numbers within the same month they were signed. Which reached No. 16 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart. Woe Is Me’s fist tour (Pyknic Partery tour) was shared with Drop Dead Gorgeous, From First To Last, Sleeping with Sirens, Abandon All Ships, For All Those Sleeping and Attila. This tour was what got them noticed by fans!
When people first heard “I’ve told you once” by Woe Is Me, everyone caught on to the lyrics being about issues! WIM made a comment about Issues clean vocalist Tyler Carter being gay in their song, WIM also said in their song “I’m not the one dwelling on the past, so we’ll see who ge...

...WIM won their fans back and Issues made sort of an apology song on their most recent album. When I get older, I want to go to a good college! If I get terrible grades and don’t try throughout high school then most colleges won’t accept me!

In conclusion I feel authenticity in rock music has a huge part to play and although it is a very snobby culture of "we will like you until we've had enough" its still personal to every person and they have a choice to decide who fits into their perfect music world.

Every musician distinctly remembers the first time they set foot on stage to perform for an enthusiastic audience. Stage fright usually disappears as the musician feeds off the crowd’s energy. Moments in the spotlight causes a person to act differently and develops his or her stage presence. I agree with Bloom when he says that punk rock creates an unforgettable buzz. For example, Jason Butler of a hardcore band called letlive. is infamous for his outrageous onstage antics. These include smashing instruments, stagediving, and fighting with security guards. As the crowd gets louder, he gets crazier. Bloom’s conclusion can be based on how the punk rock genre is commonly operated.
Skepticisms arise when we think there is no enough reason or good reason to accept certain facts. In fact, this actually helps us to stop and think about whether what we think of as the truth is actually true or false, and this also helps us to question certain things that we take for granted. This may be a good thing but on the other side there is no guarantee that we will come up with better answers than the previous ones by constant questioning. Take the example of a child, when one talks with a very young child with full of curiosity, the child often asks a question and, even after their questions are addressed, the child still asks “why” to the answers given. The Why Conversation goes on until the person answering the questions gets annoyed or ends it with a statement that lacks explanation. Therefore, the conversation often ends when the person reaches a point where he can no longer answer the questions. As seen above, skepticism can be illustrated in the “Why Conversation.”, which substantiates the assumptions in the title. Consequently, this essay will attempt to investigate how skepticism can work as a tool to broaden or limit our knowledge.
According to the FBI’s Hostage Barricade Database System, 73% of hostages display no sign of Stockholm syndrome (G.

Alternative media are a source of media that differs from the content of mainstream media. Alternative media are known for publishing information from their own perspective or beliefs, including minorities and underprivileged groups, and raise awareness to the public. One example of alternative media is Internet websites, including Sleuth Journal, which exposes corruption, and produces truthful news to the public. Through articles and structures, we will examine why Sleuth Journal is an alternative media.
Alternative Journalism threatens to disrupt the normative structures that mainstream journalism has created in which many news agencies follow. What can be described as Alternative journalism is anything that provides information that challenges the mainstream flow. It challenges the Mainstream news by hoping to play a balanced and unbiased role within the industry by showing stories which do not get shown within mainstream news. Alternative journalism has also become a voice for groups within society that have become under represented which can vary from indigenous groups to different forms of subcultures.
