The song I chose is Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza by Mac Miller, I chose this song because it has many examples of the video appealing to teenagers. Reality is presented as life is a vacation in this video, Mac talks about living a life simliar to yours, this is appealing to teenagers and he is saying he can relate to teenagers. By doing this more teenagers will be drawn in to his music because they can relate.
Reality is presented as a fantasy in this video. Mac walks around town with people following him while he says hi to the whole town, as if he knows everybody and he is an idol to everybody.
The stereotypes presented in this video are pretty obvious. The main one is if you are good at rapping you are famous and everybody loves you. In one part of the video Mac walks up to some random women and gives them hugs and kisses, in reality you can't just walk up to random women and do that.
A creed that is presented in this video is everybody that raps smokes marijuana. He states "Cali for the kush because boy I know there is plenty there" implying he knows all about weed. He also says "I smoke herb" again he is promoting the use of weed and telling all his listeners that he follows the creed of smoking weed.
There are so many things in this video that apply to teenagers, right from the begginning a voice states "This party was dope" a lot of teenagers do like to party and that is a big pass time for teenagers. Through out the song he talks about partying, smoking weed, living similar lifes to ours, going to school, playing sports etc. A good majority of teenagers can relate to something in there.
Overall this is a pretty good music video in my opinion but some people probably wouldn't like it because everybody isn't the same.

Big sexy's first post
1.)I believe that media is fairly important in my life. I think this because I listen to music, watch tv, play video games on a dailey basis. If they were to not be in my life I think life would be pretty boring.
2.) I would think all of them are pretty important to me. I would say half of my time is spent listening to music, going on facebook, watching tv or playing video games.
3.) My thoughts on modern popular culture music is they music is produced fast so they can make more money faster. It also doesn't take very much talent to put your voice on auto tune and talk.
I like the way new technology lets us communicate and makes it very easy for us and convenient.
Media is not just for entertainment, it helps us with learning what is going on in the world dailey and I do use it for learning and information.
4.) If I was to have to choose a favourite artist it usually changes month to month but as of right now I would choose Mac Miller. I like a lot of his music right now and have for the past couple months and just can't listen to enough of it. If I had to choose a favourite artist to bring to a desert island it would be him.
If I had to choose a favourite tv show it would probably be Seinfeld. I love other shows but have always liked Seinfeld and probably always will. The other shows that I love right now I know I will get tired of and Seinfeld I will not get tired of so thats why I would bring Seinfeld.
I would also bring my favourite video game, Call of Duty Black Ops. It is very entertaining and I enjoy playing it a lot
