Millennials

To think of the Millennials, one major trait was technology. This trait was placed in both a good trait but also a not-so-good trait. The good part of this trait that we have grown up with new technology, so we are able to understand it more and can work more with it through life. But the not-so-good part of this trait is that we have become obsessed with technology. With technology as a trait, one event that can give this generation definition is Apple. Steve Jobs has been recognized as the influence for this generation. He pushed the look on technology and now everyone has something Apple; iPod, iPhone, iPad. With Steve Jobs's death, this had impacted the whole world but I feel that because the Millennials have technology in their life, I feel tht this had effected them more.

Controversy

'Accidental Racist' by Brad Paisley featuring LL Cool J is a country song with a featured rap part with LL Cool J. It is about the south and how we have to look past their past and move on and be equal. Others reacted with shock. It had gotten a lot of bad criticism from critics. The major deal of this song was that it had talked about south's past with slavery and their own unique style and culture. My reaction to the song was that to me the song wasn't very catchy. I didn't really like it. It wasn't because of the message or because it was a country song or for the section of the song was rap. The song just didn't entertain me.

In class we learned that for a country song to be a country song it talks about love, have easy to understand lyrics, relate able, tells a story, and you can know the song by the end. With 'Accidental Racist', it didn't seem to imply love, the lyrics were on the most part understandable though. The song though was not relate able, it also didn't keep with a story. Even though the beginning did, about a man in a coffee shop. For me I wasn't able to know the song by the end.
