VIDEO REFLECTION 5

    FASHION

      This is a video that summarizes famous musicians’s styles. I chose this video because I find it very entertaining. Firstly, the background music is very nice, so it attracts attention. Secondly, it covers most of the popular musicians, from Elvis Presley to Justin Bieber, and how their styles change over years. What I like most about this video is that it shows how style is closely connected to music. Unfortunately, apart from a few exceptions, all musicians show up in concerts or in TV shows with gorgeous clothes, posh hair styles or with lots of jewellery. I understand that their job requires not only a good voice but also a good look, but I do not like the way they influence the public. Millions of people buy original or ‘’ fake ‘’ products they use, or they dress like them; in other words, they like to be their idols. This causes them to fall the traps of captalism, I believe. However, nobody seems unhappy because of  this. In this way, fans have a chance to ‘’ look like their idols’’ and they can have a kind of a connection with them. Also, more products are sold, so traders are content with this situation, too. Furthermore, famous musicians contribute to fashion with their style. For example, Justin Bieber style haircut seems to be the new craze among teenagers nowadays due to his popularity. Although musicians’ look changes as the time goes by, it seems that they will keep influencing the fashion as they did in past.
