Spot the Difference.
Honestly, I have no idea what am I supposed to post here. And I thought of sharing with all of you what's my topic about. It's called The Birth of Scene & Perfection Via Social Networking Sites".
I was in the scene culture back in 2007-2009. I spent my money on hair spray, colored skinny jeans, big ribbon clips and good quality eyeliners. I even had my lips pierced in November 2007 after I broke up with my first love.
Curious on how scene people look like? I'll show you how they look like:-
this is techy and she's my friend that i got to know from myspace.
moore, former singer from "from first to last"
Scene culture (or should i say genre) begin in the early 2003 and since then, a famous group; Perfection Dolls promoted the genre and many Myspacers, models and Internet celebrities changed their looks. Example celebrities like Jeffrey Starr, Tila Tequila, Brokencyde, Cinema Bizzare and Audrey Kitching were from that particular group too. Former Amazing Race contestants, Vyxsin and and Kynt were from Perfection Dolls too. I'll show you members from Perfection Dolls:-
joona jeremias from finland
james armer from california
Basically, these two genres are totally different. Scene is all about clothes, pose, piercings, tattoos and so on while perfection is only base on acuity, intelligent and body. Want to know more about this topic? Wait till week nine people!

Visual Kei and J-Rock: Passion to be Different
Yo! =3
Here's a picture for you guys. :))
Picture taken from Mirri Music
The people in the picture above are members of Alice Nine. Please note that Alice Nine is not my topic for my research paper but they are however part of it. :))
My research paper is about Visual Kei and J-Rock. Visual Kei means Visual Style Music. J-Rock is just simply a music genre, but many people often relates Visual Kei to J-Rock. Which most of the time is true because most of J-Rock bands do have a Visual Kei Image. But Visual Kei can combine with other music genre like metal.
Visual Kei trend first started off big (according to most Visual Kei history) in the late 80's by the band X-Japan. Then they are soon followed by other Visual Kei bands.
Getting back to my research paper, I'm doing a research on Malaysians that have the Visual Kei passion- crazy hair-dos, make-up, piercings, unique get-up- what kind of influences that Visual Kei J-Rock has on the concentrated group and also, I'm going to analyze the public perception on Visual Kei and J-Rock.
The reason I'm doing a research on Visual Kei and J-Rock is because, it's a growing trend in Malaysia. Though its a small now but it is growing. With the cosplay of anime/manga characters, lolitas... Visual Kei is just another trend coming up in the streets of Malaysia. Plus, I have friends that actually listens to J-Rock and the way they see things around them seems a little bit different from other people around them. So, I got curious and want to know more about Visual Kei and J-Rock.
And that's basically what's my research is about. :))
**PS~ Those people in the picture are all guys. :DD

Women Portrayal & Rap Music
Okay so here it is. I'll jot down what I know and my opinions in women portrayal and rap music. I'll go with rap music first.
List of rap music:-
* Alternative Rap
* Bass Music
* British Rap
* Christian Rap
* Comedy Rap
* Contemporary R&B
* Dirty Rap
* Dirty South
* East Coast Rap
* Gangsta Rap
* Freestyle Rap
Most of the time, we listen to gangsta rap, freestyle rap, alternative rap, christian rap and British rap. But we don't listen to others because probably might got banned. From my opinion, most rap songs are all about life. Example of artists that sing about life are Ludacris, Eminem, Wyclef Jean, Polow Da Don, Eve, Nicki Minaj and 50 Cent.
To make this post as a collaboration, these rappers also sing about women example like Runaway Love by Ludacris featuring Mary J Blige. It portrays on how girls and ladies are suffering and they always want to runaway from home.
Other rappers like Ja Rule, Fat Joe and Nelly do contribute songs about women as they protect the rights about women.
While in movies, a very good example about women is Precious. I love that movie a lot. It's taken from a novel called Push by Sapphire.
Most of the time, movies portray how weak women are and always get bullied. Discriminating girls with blonde hair are dumb and idiot I totally disagree with it. Many blonde girls are smart too - like Ivanka Trump, Gwen Stefani and Pink. People come out with the quote "dumb blonde" and portrays the word to women, how about blond men? Aren't they supposed to be dumb too?
Also in movies, they portray how sensitive women are. The fact, men are way too sensitive than women.
