Music and CultureJoin now to read essay Music and CultureIn todays modern world, music encompasses almost every form of media. It is everywhere; it is played outside and inside stores, on the television, at the movies, on the computer, in elevators, and can also be heard coming from around the heads of most teenagers. This is not a bad thing per say, but it can very easily be. A growing amount of music now features many themes that are far from favorable. In times such as these, where music has such a hold on the general populous and children more specifically, there needs to be more of a positive message and less of the negative motifs that are now so prevalent.
Although the argument may be made that not all rap music contains negative ideas about the treatment of women and violence, it is obvious that a large amount of it does. One example of this would be a song by the popular rap group NWA called “Boyz in the Hood”. At many points during this song, women are referred to as “hos” or “bitches” and are treated no better than stray dogs. This song also contains the description of the murder of a black youth. How can these ideas be good for the developing and pliable minds of todays children? While this message may be sent by some rap songs, it is not necessarily in all of them. The song “Hey Mama,” by Kanye West sends an incredibly good image. This song is about how a man loves his mother and is going back to school to get his life

On August 25, 2009, a few days after the song’s release, an anonymous post called “Totally Loved”, took up residence in Reddit, a popular social network. Soon after, its users sent several replies to an anonymous post about the “tapes from the house”. After a fair amount of discussion, this post was removed by users. However, it remained on Reddit forever, largely due to a request by white supremacist, white supremacist, and white nationalist groups. Some users were not happy about this, claiming the message it sent was intended to provoke violent responses.
Soon after, the site of the original “tapes” was used to promote a series of counter-protesters on a protest in Charlotte, North Carolina. They were peaceful and took to the streets to show how their own groups would support and promote violence. After some discussion, that group turned on the police and started threatening to physically and violently break up a small group of those protests.
Eventually, the group of anarchists and white nationalists, led by a white college student named “Anonymous”, and some of them members of the alt-right (the “alt-right”), came after the group, and forced the members into sub-groups. All of whom, in the days leading up to the actions at the protest, came from an unknown group or subgroup.
The resulting group split, as many members of the group declared and changed several ways about how they saw things, especially to their respective right-wing “mainstream”; the conservative and liberal groups. These changed positions even slightly and were seen by some members of the alt-right as supporting some of the other groups, but they could not find a good place on that site. They also continued to hate the white right, and had their hatred in turn increased.
Anonymous and his “group” have since adopted this strategy, and the group continues to engage in actions in the near future. This “group”, in response to the events on August 25th, became the Alt-Right movement.
The Alt-Right movement (and its group, of course) started as a way to express anger, anger and solidarity against the police, to the white racists to the black racists, to the black people who had left the white supremacists. This was at odds with their own goals, and at times inspired them to go their own ways and create their own identity with their own ideas and beliefs.
By early 2009, it seemed like the alt-right movement existed to spread their hate. Anonymous had been founded in May of 2009. They were in an extremely high profile position, and are the last group remaining that actually has some of the resources to continue their “honeypot”.
Members of Anonymous began to make their home in an attempt to escape from a harsh reality of the system it has been founded to defend. While they remain out of control with the current state of affairs, the group still has some members that can help them and spread their ideas. Anonymous has the ability to communicate
