  • Latinidad Still Not A Player By Simon Frith

    Critical Response 4 Within his article, Simon Frith asks a question that caused me to stop and think: “The question we should be asking is not what does popular music reveal about ‘the people’ but how does it construct them? (137)” As he states, music is an individualizing form that creates an identity or self-definition that we use to give ourselves a particular place in society. The hip hop movement aided in constructing the Puerto Rican identity in New York City, allowing artists to experiment with language and race relations while challenging the traditional notions of Latinidad.

    With every new generation of teenagers or young adults, there always seems to be this negative look towards the youth culture. What really strikes me is that it happens with every new generation. It seems like once a person hits their teenage years they suddenly become “rebels” of society, and for what reason? How do most adults see the younger generation? They are young people who have bad manners, no respect for the elderly, they are real tyrants, they do not stand up when elders walk in, they do not listen to their parents or teachers, they talk in the presence of adults, and they eat gluttonously (Socrates).
