Adele vs TikTok

I’ve recently come across an interview with Adele in which she was promoting her new album “30”. And she said something that I found really intriguing: “If everyone is making music for the TikTok, who’s making the music for my generation?” 

So basically, for the last 2 years music from TikTok has taken over the music industry like no other app. Now it’s not necessarily the music which blew up on TikTok is trending, but musicians put out new music which is meant to be “TikTok friendly” (energetic with high tempo and danceability) And it’s working because most of these songs you can hear on radio, or they are number 1 on the charts. In my opinion, most of them are generic and shallow but there are some gems. Self-made singers who with the help of TikTok were able to show off their music. Either way, I can still understand why Adele said what she said, and I think it’s good that she spoke about it.

  1. You can probably imagine that TikTok is not my medium. And I could never imagine that for some people it's the main source of music. Music is meant to be listened to, not watched, isn't it?

Brands on Social Media

It’s not hard to notice that with the progress of social media, we’ve started using them in completely different ways, in comparison to the early beginnings. I would say at first, all platforms were for regular people. But nowadays every brand has an YT channel, an account on every social media and I don’t know in my opinion it’s unnecessary. I had so many eye roll moments when I scroll through Twitter and a Polish Netflix account tries so hard to be relatable.  I guess brands started to act like people and people started acting like brands. Influencers with brand deals which come with money are sometimes losing the humane part of their content. So, in that way companies are basing their content on relatability- cause some people like that. I mean I don’t care about what Netflix thinks about Pikachu, I want to know what movies are added next month. Examples:

Is fake news a serious problem in the contemporary world?

I think that fake news is a serious problem. We hear them every single day. They can spread all over the world in a couple of hours or even minutes. In that short amount of time fake news is becoming viral and hard to overcome. That’s way they are so dangerous. Many people can’t tell what is fake and what is real. We don’t realize how great influence fake news has on us. They change our perspectives or force us to believe in their idea of true. We should fight against fake news not treat them blankly. Maybe then they will become less harmful.

What is sustainability?

In the 21 st century for many people it’s important to safe our planet from the dangerous consequences of global warming. One of the ways to ensure it is to change our way of living. That’s when it comes the idea of sustainability. 20 years ago, scientists from Sweden developed definition of sustainability with 4 basic principles: REDUCE -         “carbon footprint” -        dependance on heavy metals -        dependance on synthetic chemicals -        destruction of nature   By following these 4 rules you will make a major change. Moreover, sustainability most commonly means: maintaining the world we live in. By taking this lifestyle we are encourage to minimize use of Earth’s resources and reduce the damage of human and environmental interactions. Sustainable living aims to achieve an environmental balance. It expects us to return to the earth whatever we ...
