Halsey’s New Album “Manic”: A Track-by-Track Review

Halsey
I’m a firm believer that the first time you hear an album should be front to back and so that’s why I make them that way! Some songs go together. Halves of a whole. so when Manic is out, pls don’t skip ur excited asses to a random song. Just at least not on the first listen 😅

Article One – ‘Ariana Grande Fans Criticize Eminem’s Lyrics Referencing the Manchester Bombing’ https://www.teenvogue.com/story/ariana-grande-eminem-lyrics-manchester-bombing

Teen Vogue is culturally significant in its marrying of the political with fashion and lifestyle: This article delivers important social and political messages about the negative effects and insensitivity of the song while visiting both sides of the story to deliver a fair and valid argument. The magazine does this in such a way by using current language that is simple and relatable and includes popular culture themes such as tweets and singers rivals/scandals to try and position the implied audience to be interested and raise awareness of the more important issues within the text.

Target Audience Teen Girls more traditionally seen as interested in more superficial issues: This article radical as although it includes many ‘superficial’ articles includes many important social and political messages as they try and reach a concerning audience and aims to raise awareness of the issues at hand in a way that captivates the actual audience of anyone reading the magazine.

Explicit feminist stance and reporting on the Trump presidency has made it a relatively radical voice in the context of mainstream US media: This is a feminist stance as it encourages the target audiences to be interested and aware of current social and political issues and is not only aiming to include fashion and beauty articles but important, present issues.

https://www.teenvogue.com/story/annie-jean-baptiste-the-hustle

Annie JeanBaptiste
This article is an interview with Annie Jean-Baptiste: Google’s Head of Product Inclusion, Research, and Activation at Google
  • Young female audience more traditionally seen as interested in more superficial issues
    • I this is superficial because in this article, a women is influencing women to get into tech industries by sharing her personal experiences.
    • This article is superficial because it is well known that the technology industry is currently an industry that is more male dominated and that there are established “Women in Tech (WIT) groups which are aiming to entice more females to get into the STEM businesses (Science, Technology, Engineering and Music).
  • The codes and conventions of a website
    • The article indicates that is is aimed primarily at females over males as identified by the cover image of Annie Jean-Baptiste.
    • The caption to this article on the website is ” Google’s Head of Product Inclusion takes us behind the scenes ” which is enticing to females as it follows the common stereotype of children/teenagers – that they have an interest of seeing things that they may nit be allowed to.
    • The caption for this article is enticing to click the link as it can show you what her job is like as a female at Google and they have used Google as it is the most popular search engine, therefore the target audience will have the previous knowledge of Google, therefore they could understand the article more thoroughly than if they used a not so famous search engine, such as DuckDuckGo.
    • The key words in the article (such as “speaking”) are written in a different colour to stand out and they have hyperlinks to direct the audience to relevant articles that may interest them. These hyperlinks to other articles include advice, as well as political and social issues that are unfortunately currently happening around the world (such as racial discrimination and sexism)
  • How does the story construct a particular representation of the world
    • The article is fairly political as it in emphasises the large proportion of males compared to females in an industry that is stereo-typically associated with males.
    • This article is very radical as it is enticing more females to get into the STEM industry and goes against the ideology of males can dominate the STEM industry
    • This article is also fairly empowering to females as it gives them a sense of place and makes them feel inclusive to the industry as the article emphasizes how a woman, in one of the highest roles at what is the most famous and well known internet company that provides search engines, prove that the jobs in the STEM industry are not subjective to your gender.
    • The article also covers an interview with a black woman, being all inclusive and also emphasise racial equality, thus making this article both social as well as political orientated.

Ariana Grande Fans Criticize Eminem’s Lyrics Referencing the Manchester Bombing

  • Young female audience more traditionally seen as interested in more superficial issues – I don’t think my case study is superficial because it discusses important and political issues in a way that teenage girls would be interested.
  • The codes and conventions of a website – I would expect to see a main picture to sell the story on a website and they did have that.
  • How does the story construct a particular representation of the world – This story gives a mixed view of attitudes and behaviors within society and the world as it shows Eminem mimicking terrorist attacks within his lyrics (  “But I’m contemplating yelling ‘bombs away’ on the game / Like I’m outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting.” ) and people criticizing him and supporting the victims and families ( “Real talk, Eminem is such a piece of trash for making a punchline out of the 22 people who died in the Manchester attack,” ).

21 Young People Tell Us Why They Wore Second-Hand Clothing to the Climate Strike 2019

political, social, cultural and economic contexts:

During the climate strike in September 2019 there was protests about the global climate strike where world leaders met and listened to scientists and those passionate to make a difference in the world. The protesters all wore second hand clothing and the majority being teenagers of a young age to stand up to world leaders such as Donald Trump who don’t care about the environment.

Socially the younger generations are trying to stand up to the capitalist leaders as my generation attempts to make a statement that we will not be pushed over and that we care.

  • a relatively radical voice – I wouldn’t say so with my example, because it is pretty typical / reactionary ie young people tatoos, in a club, doing nothing worthwhile
  • construction of a young female identity. again very reactionary, showing subservience to males, overtly sexual, lots of pink, make-up very stereotypical
  • interested in more superficial issues – yes definitely agree that it is superficial because its not focusing on the real issues like the austrailian bush fires which is a major issue killing many animals and some people however they only made one post on it.
