... do you think there is room for discussion about how the song mirrors society? Like how she says it is "My moment" and sings about "dreaming". Do you think it is part of a much bigger problem where teens are told to aim for their "15 seconds of fame" rather than express themselves through creative mediums that don't give instant reward? |
Many believe they are going to be millionaires in seconds by doing nothing. I know it's a generalisation but they don't see the worth in working at something for a long time and prefer to "hand it up" half-done. This song is overdone but it does reflect that fifteen minutes of fame that goes too long. |

THIS is the mentality of what-has-become of our Western culture. The focus isn't on being a musician, an actor, an artist, etc., the focus is on becoming a "celebrity" without contributing anything to society. Reality shows like "The Kardashians" and "Jersey Shore" embody this.
