Lyrics, class, and what the language used in the songs we listen to tells about us.
Hi,
I'm doing a communications and culture investigation- looking at the cultural context of music, and more specifically the language within particular songs and genres. I would really like your opinion on how the lyrics to peoples' favourite songs reflect their background, class, identity, etc. For example, do you think restricted language (words and phrases that only make sense to a particular subculture) used within a song reflects a working class fan base/audience? does symbollic or heavy use of imagery suggest a middle- high class audience? The more you can develop it the better!! Really interested to know what you think. Thanks -My Beloved Monster and Me- |
I think the ability to afford to play instruments at all implies a middle-class upbringing.

Not necessarily

I have no clue but I love cake. Jello cake is one of the best things to ever exist. I could go for some right now.

Sorry to the thread maker, but I know you just want some answers then you will never return here again so I dont care that this thread has gone to ****. |
Where the fuck did this come from?

lol for a second I thought Yukon Cornelius was the OP and then this would have been very, very cruel.
But yeah, jello cake is great. But not nearly as good as Boston Creme Pie. Yum. |
Can't say I really had much hope.. was a pretty random question, and to be fair jello cake sounds much more interesting.
I take it jello is jelly? (english jelly) |
You would be better going onto yahoo answers or similar. Musicbanter is a precocious beast at best and rarely likes to help people out whose only intention is to use our forum like a public survey :D
