Aerosmith
Aerosmith has defined Rock and Roll for more than thirty years. The members are Steven Tyler(lead singe), Joe Perry(guitarist),Tom Hamilton(bassist guitar), Brad Whitford(guitarist), and Joey Kramer(drummer). Steven Tyler spent time in the summers of his youth in New Hampshire lakes region, where he met his band mates. Steven took up drums and singing before becoming the leader of Aerosmith. As the band starts on yet another world tour to support their 25th release, "Honkin' On Bobo", they remain creatively spirited and are the platinum standard for artistic and commercial success in the music business. Aerosmith was like America's feisty reencounter to hard-rocking groups like The Wind, The Who, Rolling Stones, The Yard Birds, Cream, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin. Steven Tyler's political view is "leaning toward social conservatism at times". Joe Perry's political view is "I'm a definite old school Republican".

Aerosmith contained untouched hard-rock songs like "Make It and "Mama Kin", along with well rock's ballad, "Dream On", which found them wise above their years. At A point in their career, Aerosmith made magnificent on every overstatement given by their music and image. Things began unscrambling for them. After being on top of the 70's most of the time, Aerosmith closely lost it all to substance abuse. Their downward spiral increased with 1919 bitter departure of Joe Perry, 1980 horrific motorcycle accident that sidelined Tyler for a year and 1980 massive departure of
Everyone knows of a “band geek” rather it be in school, movies, spongebob, in the parade, or in the music video You Belong with Me by Taylor Swift. When people hear the word “band geek”, automatically they think of nerdy, ugly kids that hide behind their glasses and maintain social isolation by practicing their instruments for hours at a time. A band member has the misconception of being a “geek” hence the fact most call them “band geeks”. A band geek is a person who participates in band, who absolutely enjoys it so much that they constantly have band on their minds 24/7. In my experience, band members are social butterflies whom are lovely people with a passion for music, have amazing school spirit and don’t just have band on their minds.
In “The Outcasts of Poker Flat,” by Bret Harte, his portrayal of the “outcasts” in the story contradict with their stereotypes. This is seen with all four outsiders, but specifically with the gambler, Mr. Oakhurst. When thinking of a gambler, the words selfish, careless, unreliable, and irresponsible come to mind. However, Bret Harte contrasts with this stereotype by making Mr. Oakhurst a good hearted person. For example, when the Duchess declared she could go no farther, the gambler never once “thought of deserting his weaker and more pitiable companions.” Surprisingly, the gambler, who is thought to be undependable and self-absorbed, never had the idea to desert his companions. Another instance where Mr. Oakhurst breaks the common stereotype
Eye witness accounts of events are not always accurate. The accounts depicted by depend on how witnesses read the situation. The same is true when interpreting the depiction of race and/or ethnicity in media productions. Because situations gain meaning through the process of social construction (the interpretation of a situation based on one’s knowledge), the same event can be viewed and internalized by witnesses who render opposing viewpoints. This analysis will compare the depiction and rejection of socially constructed stereotypes relative to race and ethnicity in three situation comedies: All in the Family, The Jefferson’s and The Cosby Show.
Rednecks have been around for centuries, but what is a redneck? In today’s terminology, redneck is used as an insult towards many southerners. Originally, redneck was used to describe someone who has been outside working all day, and has developed sunburn on their neck. Due to modern day stereotypes, the word redneck has become an insult rather than a way to describe a hard worker. Through research and personal accounts, the history of the word redneck can be examined, the comparison of the “modern day” redneck and the old meaning, and the way it impacts certain groups, can be used to demolish modern day stereotypes. The word redneck should return to its original form and should not be used as an insult toward southerners.
The film “A League of Their Own,” depicts a fictionalized tale of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. This league was started during World War II when many of the Major Leagues Biggest stars were drafted to the war. MLB owners decided to start this league with hopes of making money while the men were overseas fighting. Traditional stereotypes of women in sports were already in force before the league even begins. One of the scouts letts Dottie, one of the films main characters she is the perfect combination of looks as well as talent. The scout even rejects one potential player because she is not as pretty as the league is looking for even though she is a great baseball player. The player, Marla’s father said if she was a boy she would be playing for the Yankee’s. Eventually Mara’s father is able to convince the scout to take Marla to try outs because he raised her on his own after her mother died. Her father says it is his fault his daughter is a tomboy. In this case the film reinforces the traditional stereotype that mothers are in charge of raising their daughters and teaching them to be a lady, where fathers are incapable of raising girls to be anything other than a tomboy. The focus on beauty also reinforces the traditional stereotype that men will only be interested in women’s sports when the females participating in
If one looks deeper into each side, they can see that these stereotypes are not always true. One big stereotype people have about “the hills” and “the flats” is that the “flats” are more prone to violence than the “hills” because of the exposure to a more difficult lifestyle. However, there are numerous counts of violence and hate that has not been accounted for or heard of in a multitude of neighborhoods. According to FBI.gov, there are 365 violent offenses per 100,000 persons in the United States. In addition, these violent crimes have an impact on those who have seen or experienced it. This number includes robberies, domestic violence, and assault and gang activities. According to a scholarly journal published by Sciencedirect, around thirty
Even though there has been countless criticisms on his lyrics and social media accounts, his followers have been loyal and continued to support whatever was brought to the table. Now, I am going to say, with all the research I have done and being a Tyler fan myself, that you have to be someone who doesn't take these lyrics as the first literal meaning that comes to mind. Tyler has backed this up with the lyrics from another hit song called “Sandwitches” saying, “We don't _____ make horrorcore you ____ ____, listen deeper than the music before you put it in a box”. He is referring to a genre of music that is known for its scary and horror themed lyrics and imagery. A lot of Tyler's lyrics have a different meaning behind what he is actually saying, and

Rock. A kind of popular music, originally called rock’n’roll with a strong beat and a simple, often repeated, melody. This is the definition of rock according to Advanced Dictionary. Rock music is one of many ways to describe the music style of the band Twenty One Pilots. Twenty One Pilots is a duo group consisting of singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Joshua “Josh” Dun. As of 2017, there are 5 albums that have been produced by Tyler Joseph/the band. The fans who avidly support them are referred to as the “skeleton clique” and often abbreviate Twenty One Pilots as “tøp” or simply just “top”. Twenty one pilots’ origins trace back to Ohio, around the Columbus area, where tyler grew up and began making music in his parents basement. The music
The Midwest in the 1960’s was a completely different world than it is today. It was a time of cowboys who worked from a young, adolescent age at hands-on jobs all the way through adulthood until they became too old to do so. These men were seen as real manly fellows, and had “manly” interests. Family life in this time was the basic American visualization, with a working husband who would come home after a long day of working to his wife and children. Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist are men in this time period that challenge the stereotype of what a cowboy was expected to be. They are soul-mates who meet as teenage boys, and they spend their lives hiding the love they have for one another. In “Brokeback Mountain”, the novel accentuates the uncharacteristic
It is often the case that media and more specifically, film, perpetuates the stereotypes of black men. These stereotypes include not showing emotion, being physically aggressive, embrace violence, supposed criminality, associated with drug use, lack a father figure, sexually exploit women, and others. In the film, Boyz n the Hood, Tre’s father, Furious Styles, encourages Tre to demonstrate loyalty to other people in relationships, resist aggressive behavior, and foster and exhibit sexual responsibility. Thus, throughout the film, Tre challenges the society’s stereotyped norms of black masculinity and what it means to be a black man.
Jagger and the rest of the band changed their look and style as the 1970s progressed. By mid-seventies they had become one of the most eclectic groups in Rock and Roll. By this time all their music was original compositions by Jagger and Richards. (Charlton) Jagger also had learned to play guitar and contributed guitar parts for certain songs on Sticky Fingers. Songs released off this album included “Sister Morphine” “Dead Flowers” and “Loving Cup.” For the Rolling Stones' highly publicized 1972 American tour, Jagger wore glam-rock clothing and glittery makeup on stage. Later in the decade they ventured into genres like disco and punk with the album Some Girls in 1978. (Charlton)
Popular musical meaning relates to ‘the social’ in many ways and can be seen in music through things like politics, how mass production changes meaning, and class/inequality. When it comes to politics and music an example can be seen with YG’s recent song that he made “F**ck Donald Trump”, which has made a big impact with the youth like the song “Fuck the Police” that came out in the early 90’s and one can see that there is a correlation between the two. Then there was the Grunge era where many stylists started mass producing the look after the music became so popular with the youth. Then finally there is the class and inequality that can be seen throughout the years in music, an example with that can be seen with Bring Cosby and Billie Holiday.
Every day black, white, and Hispanic men and women face many different stereotypes. Whether it is appearance based or his or her behavior. Brent Staples tells about a time in his life when he was viewed as a threat, and what he does to avoid coming across as a threat to the people around him. Throughout Staples’ work, “Just Walk On By: A Black Man Ponders to Alter Public Space,” we were able to see how people perceive others, based on how he or she looks or acts. “Black men have a firm place in New York mugging literature” (Staples 239).
I chose to write about my opinions on how masculine stereotypes were created through adjectives, derogatory terms and comparisons in song lyrics in an opinion column format. In opinion columns, personal pronouns can be used which can convey more radical opinions of a chosen topic. I explained how derogatory terms are incorporated into song lyrics which negatively describe the LGBTQ+ community. As well, through the use of adjectives, many stereotypes of “being attractive” were created which caused many self-conscious males to feel they need to reach those societal standards. Since opinion columns utilize opinions of the writer, many different audiences can be targeted and educated about another opinion other than their own. During the 1970s, many song lyrics incorporated how the ideal male will look like and what “rules” they had to follow.
