Idenity and Ideology check

Ideology and idenity in the music industry:
Values, emotions and passion are the key elements of identiy in the music industry. These key elements complete the main aspects of an artists idenity in the music media, clothes lyrics, behaviour are the main aspects of an artist's behaviour.
Idenity is important for any artist in the music media as they are trying to make their 'mark' in the history of music. By acheivng this, artists must stand out from the crowd with their musical talents and their indivdual key elements of idenity.
an indenity could come from the passion of an artist, or from a remake of an older artist. Lady GAGA is a perfect example of an modern artist who uses her idenity to appeal to her target audience and many many more.

Lady GAGA is famously known for her continous of wacky outfits which has continously won her a number of awards for music and fashion alike. However though, could it be that Lady GAGA's wacky style could be a cover up? A way of hiding away the true Lady GAGA.
With extreme form of indenitys like this, it's always questioned whether the arist is trying to hide from the public, or if they're really just trying to prove a point.



Defining Indenity:
. Clothes, appearence ( hair, make up etc)
. Behaviour, different aspects, behaviour in public and behaviour at home
. Express ways through fashion and lyrics
All the above bullet points are the main key ways of defining an artist, strip all the above away and w're just left with the average joe.
Eminem is a great example of idenity of lyrics. Eminem is a famous rapper who uses his past life and events as material for his lyrics.
Eminem's form of idenity is lyrics and behaviour. His lyrics are so controversial that has inpsired thousands of young rappers to make it to the top.
Eminem's race and skin is a economic form of indenity. Untill Enimem, there were hardly any other white rappers, only black, until Enimem came along. Eminem made his way up to the top with his two major form of idenitys and has stayed and surrived in the music media.





Ideology:Ideology is studied for the same reasons as institutions, some groups, mainly relgious, want to share their values with other people. This happens in the media industry all the time.
Something that is often
  Mediated often occurs because they wanted their audience to think about something in their own way.
Ideology is a world view, a system of attidudes and values. Different people have different values, like family, or work.
Every production in the media, has a base of values, every story written in the media whether its tabloid or broadsheet, has values in mind.

Values:
In the media industy, values are considered when writting or performing to an audience. The difference betwen values and ideology is ideology tends to be a more pejortive term aimed at those values which differ from other people's values.
