More Like Talk
We compare and contrast
Things that stand out might attract
We flock
We know and are familiar with
How it looks
The substance of what you get from X is appealing
- ie the song is catchy
- ie the book is absorbing
- ie the movie is scary
- the CONTENT is enjoyable
Aspect - even if the singer is gorgeous, a good dancer, cool, stylish, popular and original, if they music is truly crap, then that is a barrier to liking
Conversely - good music could make a singer who lacks those above no less popular
This is probably the most important thing about any like or dislike (if you’re honest and smart and staying OBJECTIVE)
What I mean is, some people like stuff that they don’t like because of looks, style, crowd view, etc.
Lobb and Katy Perry (Firework) Song Hate/Like Admission Moment - this about separating the CONTENT from all the stuff around it and experience ONLY the content.
After admitting that, Lobb saw Katy Perry on the Graham Norton Show and she was charming and awesome. Damn, said Lobb
Teens (among other groups!) have a hard time being objective about their likes.
The trick becomes to be able to do this separating CONTENT from FLUFF around it, on your own.
If we are going to judge the content of something, we have to be able to consider aspects of that content objectively (without BIAS) and intelligently
Bias - is one’s own views, opinions and preconceptions that they bring - BAGGAGE
Yes! We need to figure out how to talk about, and how to discuss TRUE like.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN WE LIKE SOMETHING FOR ITSELF
It means that you are able to think about the THING ITSELF
It means we need to build a way of looking at stuff in pieces - so that we can see where the like is and what it is
We need to think about desconstructing the media to come up with answers.
If you can break things into pieces and examine the pieces, you will get a HIGH mark in this class, and you will also be a MUCH SMARTER human being in every way
Don’t think about what you already like and don’t like!
