836 Words4 Pages

Society is somewhat shallow; lacking much depth in interactions with people, it is commonplace to make judgments on people over topics that are insignificant in the great scheme of things. Protest the Hero is a Canadian progressive metal core band which has never chosen to be silent on issues of society, in the song “Yellow Teeth” the band puts the trend of impersonal judgment on trial with tones ranging from sarcastic to enraged as displayed in their lyrics. Protest the Hero has consistently challenged societies ways with their music, using harsh and up front language to draw attention to their message in a way that is straight forward and absolute in their beliefs. Throughout the song they jab at society’s treatment of others and the hardship it causes, drawing attention to the hurt and doubt it forces on people. Protest the Hero’s song “Yellow Teeth” criticizes the superficial way in which society judges each other and how that judgment damages …show more content…

  • Winston Yellen Night Bed Analysis

    706 Words  | 3 Pages

    Instrumentally, the album explores a kind of gray area between synthpop and R&B - tracks like the captivatingly punchy “[9-6] slack-jaw” bounce to a beat, while deeper cuts “Moon Sugar” and “Love Streams” tend to slow down and fall on the more intimate side of Yellen’s reportoire. Ivywild has an interesting grasp on synthpop; Yellen’s take on the genre is full of diffracted samples and reverbed vocals, with artfully placed guitar lines here and there. Strings are used as embellishment, and even Country Sleep’s old moonlit acoustic guitar makes a few appearances. Nothing stands above the rest, but almost all of Ivywild’s songs occupy an area hard not to like - aesthetically pretty synthpop, with pleasantly frayed

    It became clear that my music taste made me stick out like a sore thumb. I didn’t mind having a peculiar taste in music, still group discussion in class or outside brought to my attention that many steered away from rock music due to the common misconception that the genre was devil worshipping music. Of course they were just that, misconceptions. It couldn’t be true, not when Front Porch Step is aching over a heartbreak in their song Drown, with lyrics like “Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times/ so I will know the moments I was eating you

  • Blackface Minstrelsy In African-American Culture

    664 Words  | 3 Pages

    There is a clear through-line in our nation’s history of blackface. As a detrimental tradition, the practice reflects a collectively low opinion of African-Americans, so much so that it became feasible to reduce an entire group of people to caricatures. When Rondrich describes minstrelsy as the “first truly American band” based on its origin within and its reflection of our past beliefs, I found it a sickeningly accurate statement. It is rather astonishing how music has been used to disseminate racially charged imagery—in this situation, Adorno’s fears of music perpetuating group-thought was startlingly supported. Beyond the racial elements, the growing popularity of blackface minstrelsy reflects how low-quality entertainment (more colloquially,

  • Crooked Smile Analysis

    I’m going to be writing my paper on a song called “Crooked Smile” by J.Cole, J.cole or Jermaine Cole, was originally born in Germany. When he was 8 months old he and his mother moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina. He attended St. Johns University and graduated with great distinction, he got introduced to music when he was 12 by a family member and ever since then he has been infatuated with rap music and the art of storytelling through music. I feel as though the thesis of this song is simply this, why feel the need to impress someone who doesn’t care about you or why let your insecurities stop you from being great? I also sense that there is an underlying meaning inside the song that promotes not catering to the conformity of society, such as you don’t need a “perfect” body and an amazing face just to be a star to yourself.

Punks style of music is considered uneducated, raw, and rough because of the vessel in which it is administered. Kids with giant, dyed mohawks, leather jackets with studs, and screaming into a microphone was not the typical way to get your message out to the masses. However, their message of tolerance, police brutality, and corporate scams have all hit the headlines over the last decade which brings into question, is punk music uneducated, or was it considered uneducated because of the way the bands portrayed themselves?

In particular, its imagery is clichéd: wedding bells, birds, roses, etc. However, this makes sense for someone who has fell in love for the first time. In addition, the repetition of the line “Till there was you” creates a lyrical base to which the previous line, referring to not being able to appreciate symbols of live, can return.
