Check out this short video that's highly relevant to our discussion of Adorno & Horkheimer and their hand-wringing about pop music. The video presents information A&H would be down with, claiming that pop music is endlessly repetitive. The kicker, though, is that this mind-numbing repetition is not the direct work of our capitalist overlords — it's our own fault. Well, our own choice.
Participation! Consider the consumer choice discussed in this video's claims. How free are we to choose? How has Internet data illuminated this? And what would Adorko & Jerkheimer say about this: are our choices really our own?

I definitely feel like we are not very free to choosing because once companies decide which songs are going to be the hit, we are forced to listen to the song(s) over and over. On the radio, sometimes stations put a list on loop and doesn't vary the song choice, even though some listeners would like different songs. Leave a Reply. |
