Is Conner4real really for real? Conner4real is portraying an image that has been heavily influenced by the media and his larger than life ego, and there are several facts behind it. This movie mocks many popstars such as Justin Bieber. American popstars are stereotyped because of movies such as Popstar Never End Never Ending. In this movie, there is a popstar named Conner4Real who is taking the music industry by storm. However, Conner4Real has not been solo his whole career. He was a part of The Style Boyz with two of his longtime friends Owen and Lawrence. This boy band had many celebrities such as 50 Cent and Mariah Carey on the edge of their seats. After Connor became the star of the group they decided to break up. This is when Connor decided …show more content…
to go solo and become Connor4real. This was Connor4real’s first major mistake. The audience would agree that putting 4real at the end of a name shows that Connor is not 4real. Connor4real make another mistake when he creates a song called Humble.
Anyone that is humble wouldn’t have to say that they are humble several times, or write a song named Humble. Throughout the movie Connor4real prepares to drop his album that is expected to be the number 1 album in the country. While prepping, Connor4real creates another song honoring gay rights. This sounds amazing, however in the song he mentions he is not gay several times creating controversy. If you aren’t gay then why mention it several times in a song about gay people? Next Connor4real create appliances with his music playing. This includes refrigerators that plays his song whenever the door opens. However, this is not Connor4real’s idea it is his entourage’s fault. Yes, Connor4real has an entourage of people that tells him what he wants to hear, which is a huge contribution to his downfall. Besides that, Connor4real decides to reset the media cycle by proposing to his girlfriend on E! Special. When this goes wrong Connor4real is sued by the Singer Seal and he is left with few fans. Connor4real could’ve been a number 1 album selling artist however, due to many of his actions, surroundings, and selfish ways the pop-star’s career took a …show more content…
detour. Conner4real mentions he is humble in his song, but his actions suggest otherwise.
Conner energetically performs a song saying, “I'm so humble, I'm so humble, I'm so humble I'm a superstar.” This negates that he is humble by bragging about materialistic items such as fast expensive cars, being rich and having beautiful women. When Conner4real performs the song “Humble” with holograms of himself, which shows that Conner is arrogant and narcissistic. This is proven when Connor4real proposes to Ashley so that the media would think that he is a good person, instead of doing it out of love. During the performance, the word humble is on a huge screen behind Conner4real in hopes to emphasize how humble he really is. However, this contradicts the humble theme being that an individual would not go to Anne Frank’s home to take a poop in it. Nor would a humble individual include so many unnecessary members into their entourage such as a “perspective manipulator”. This is a short person he must take pictures with to make himself appear taller than what he really is. The lack of self-confidence is clearly shown in this scene telling the audience that many pop-stars are self-conscious. This also shows why Connor doesn’t act humble. In addition to that, Conner also has someone on his payroll that hits him in the testicles so that he would not forget where he came from. The audience would agree that humbleness comes naturally and it is a personality trait that money cannot
buy. Considering the type of personality that Conner4real has, his career was destined to spiral downward. Arrogance and cockiness are what primarily destroyed his image, not to mention his huge ego. Conner allowed his friends to fade away in the background without giving them their credit, which is a stereotype of many pop artists in society today. Once again, the movie starts to portray the life of pop-stars by showing that Conner4real only cares about himself and that it is now leading to his downfall. Proving that arrogance will only lead to failure due to the lack of caring for others, including fans. Not to mention without your fans you are nothing as a musician. Conner is afraid of failure and is constantly attempting to prove his masculinity to his fans. He does this by creating a song about equal rights, but mentions he is not gay numerous times. If Conner isn’t gay, then why make references to so many straight things such as condoms, gym socks, and women in a bed with him? This question proves that Connor4real is pretending to care about this social issue. Conner also attempts to do a magic trick on stage in front of his audience, but his opening act Hunter ruins his trick which makes him appear on stage without a penis. When this occurs, Connor explains himself on stage, but social media gets a hold of the footage immediately. Immediately after the footage makes headlining news Conner shows the world that he does have a penis by posting pictures on social media. This gesture just confirms that he more focused and concerned about his image and how he is portrayed in the media. It could also just be that Conner has low self-esteem. The importance of this arises because of the many things the audience has witnessed within Pop music today. After the performance fails Conner decides to propose to his girlfriend on E! Special to reset the media cycle and help better his image, but once again this only made things worse. During the proposal, Conner brings wolves because of his girlfriend’s past relationship with wolves and the singer Seal to sing, which probably was not the best idea. During the proposal while Seal is singing the wolves become angry and annoyed and eventually break loose. Connor4real, his manager, and his fiancée all escape into the car. A wolf attacks Seal before he can make it into the car. Conner’s manager encourages the driver to drive off while Seal is being attacked causing Seal to sue Conner4real. After the failed proposal and attack on Seal hits the media many fans grew very upset about the situation and started to bash him on social media. Conner’s fan base is becoming very annoyed with his antics and his failure to stay out of the public eye with outrageous and obnoxious behavior. Conner’s entourage also played a huge role in the pop-star’s downfall by encouraging him to do things that made no sense. These people were more of “yes men” rather than his real friends. They were the ones that boosted Conner’s confidence. One scene is when Conner and his entourage were all at the basketball court and Conner attempts to shoot a basket without looking. He failed at making the shot, but instead everyone decided to yell as if the ball went in the basket. This was one of many things that influenced Conner’s high self-esteem, but it also blinded him from seeing the reality of his horrible career disappointment. Conner’s entourage also convinced him that his Aquaspin deal with appliances such as refrigerators playing his music was a great idea. When it was finally time to debut his album on appliances in everyone’s home his fans were not happy nor impressed. The universe experienced a huge power outage. After the Aquaspin incident social media went into a frenzy and Conner fans were now a part of the stop Conner4real rant. The incident could have been avoided if he had a true support team that would tell them the truth, even if was not what he wanted to hear. Apparently, many pop artists such as Conner4real are all surrounded by people that will tell them that everything is great, even if it’s not. This alone could be the main reason to why American Pop cultural experience many in and out artists due to so many failed careers.
Can you imagine being convicted of first degree murder at only 17 years of age? Adnan Syed couldn't believe it either. In fact he was mortified when they charged him of brutally suffocating, his ex-girlfriend Hea Min Lee, to death. Adnan Syed was a pawn that the Baltimore detectives played with, a mere dupe to cast off as the true killer. Syed is like many Americans, he was never granted a fair trial. There is some actors that make Syed guilty, but perhaps it was just pure coincidence that got Adan wrapped up in this whole mess. One simply can't overlook the major factors that make him innocent enough to grant him a second trial. Adan has spent half of his life in prison, due to a wrongful conviction that happened many

Objectification of women and misogyny is a common trend in song lyrics, but it is often socially accepted and further perpetuated. Finding a song in which the roles are reversed and a woman depicts a man as a sex object is incredibly difficult because when women try to break norms in the music industry, they are often criticized. In “Blah Blah Blah” by Kesha, she reverses the typical gender roles in song lyrics by objectifying men. Kesha has her own struggles within the male-dominated music industry because her producer sexually abused her and trapped her into a record deal. However, Kesha lost her court case, which illuminates gender issues within the music industry and the larger society. In 2010 when Kesha’s songs were popular, people weren’t aware of her battle with her producer. Instead, her lyrics classified her as more of a party figure and people even saw her as “trashy.” This song

Saint Patrick’s Day is a story of history versus legend, according to randomhistory.com. Saint Patrick is known as the patron saint of Ireland because of his service across Ireland in the fifth century (theholidayspot.com). Without Saint Patrick’s background/childhood, Saint Patrick being a good bishop, or how Saint Patrick’s Day has come to be nothing would be known about him or Saint Patrick’s Day on March seventeenth.
Among the 10 songs that were analyzed in 2016, some of the most common terms that were used to refer to women were “baby”, “broads”, “bitches”, “side bitch”, “lil mama”, “baby mama”, “wifey”, “hoe”, “girl”, “lady”, “woman” and “PYT” (Pretty Young Thing). Each individual song used either two or three of the listed terms when referring women. Furthermore, each song analyzed during this period contains lyrics that were directed towards women in positive ways (labeling them as “Queens”) and negative ways (viewing them as sexual objects). In addition, there were also song lyrics that referred to the way the male character perceives himself. One contradictory example is when artists make character comparisons with men who are stronger or more successful than them, while other artists dictate that their character is original and cannot be mirrored. Specifically, in his song “Panda”, Desiigner makes a hypermasculine reference towards himself in the line: “Man I’m the macho like Randy”. Randy Mario Poffo, also known as “Macho Man”, is an American professional wrestler who has been labeled as one of the greatest pro wrestlers in history. In the song “Broccoli” by D.R.A.M., the male artist’s lexicon perpetuates hegemonic masculinity through his demonstration of competitiveness, dominance, assertion of power
The Blurred Lines music video is truly a work of misogynistic art. The video highlights three young and vacant looking women wearing nothing but nude colored thongs posing and performing infantile actions such as riding a bike or licking an ice cream cone. Accompanying them are three grown men, fully dressed in tailored suits, standing around casually while they watch and touch on the scantily clad women that stomp past them . The set is a plain pink backdrop with props like stuffed animals and alphabet blocks. Robin Thicke understands the blatant misogyny of his video, stating that it is “a pleasure to degrade women” in his interview with men’s magazine GQ. He goes on to claim that as a man that is happily married he is the perfect person to degrade women in jest of the popular culture . He believes that his song is a “feminist movement within itself” because it urges women to free themselves from their square, monogamous sex lives and have ...
The start of the school year has come, and as you know, the halls become flooded with unfamiliar faces. From the “new students” to the incoming freshman, the countless amount of people can be overwhelming. It is even harder to realize that each of them have unique interests and hobbies, and it is these distinct traits that make them different from everybody else. As an example, my favorite band to listen to is twenty one pilots. Rather than meaningless lyrics, the lead singer, Tyler Joseph, dedicates his time to making sure listening to the music is worthwhile. In one of their songs titled, “The Judge”, Joseph includes the lyric “I’m a pro at imperfections, and I’m best friends with my doubt” which lets his audience know that it’s okay to have insecurities. The song truly encompasses what is significant to me. Another example of something that is important to me would be finding time to laugh and live life. While it may sound “cheesy”, it is necessary that in a life full of responsibilities

In 1974 the Weyenberg Shoe Manufacturing Company released an advertisement that depicted a woman lying naked on the floor behind a shoe, with the words “Keep her where she belongs...” pasted across the top. In March of 2013 musical artist Robin Thicke released a song titled “Blurred Lines,” and, with its catchy beat, it took the nation by storm. However, upon listening to the lyrics several people began to complain about the message of the song, one that perpetuates rape culture. A few days later in March the situation became even worse, when Thicke, along with T.I. and Pharrell, who were originally featured on the track, posted the music video to Youtube. In it, women are shown topless in nude thongs, crawling around on the floor and dancing
Many people associate sexist language with the music genre of rap and hip/hop, but the truth is that sexist language invades every style of music. While it is true that the lyrics to rap songs contain the most obvious derogatory terms towards women, research has found that popular pop music also includes language that can demoralize women or make women seem inferior to men. Women are often referred to as objects and even as possessions by artists, implying that even in this day and age females are still second-class compared to males. Some artists compare women to cars, others use their words to enforce their male dominance. Regardless of how popular an artist or song is promoting sexist lyrics shows that as a whole the public does not have a problem with demoralizing women. Numerous male musicians even use this sort of language as a marketing tactic, knowing that their lyrics will cause a controversy that could inevitably boost album sales.
