I do not remember how we got into this discussion about what counts as real music. But Alaysia made an interesting point that made me think about what really counts as music. We were talking about Lady Gaga and how people think that she is not all there, but if you watch her interviews and documentaries you notice that everything she does has a purpose to it. And whether if she is singing about sleeping with other women or Gay Rights, it is still music and it all has a meaning and/or is a reflection of that artist. This made me think about how society associate different behaviors and attributes to different diverse/ethnic groups to classify them.
I came to a realization that at the end of the day, people are people. What makes you Black is the make-up of your DNA, and the same goes for all ethnic groups. And in a way, everybody is the same and/or different and can be associate with all diverse/ethnic groups because no one is just made up of one trait/attribute/characteristic, we all have a little bit of something in us. More than we could probably ever know.
