The Day the Music Died Review !

The article I picked is titled "The Day the Music Died". I found it on the interwebs *cough* Teen Ink *cough* .com . It was written by Evely Nibarra. All the opening paragraph is, is a thesis, there is nothing else to it except for the thesis. The thesis is Hip-Hop, Rap, R&B, and Pop, all types of music, are amazing beats and catchy tunes, but what lies underneath all of the repeating rhythms and mainstream glamour?. The opening paragraph caught my attention because it asked a question that appealed to me, because I have noticed that a lot of popular songs nowadays don't really have much meaning to them. The article has eight paragraphs. All the paragraphs elaborate more on the thesis explaining some facts and the writers opinion. One example of this is "Take the Beattle’s for example; their songs helped people escape the terrors of the Vietnam War. When you heard their songs, you escaped the world’s troubles, momentarily. Now, flash forward to today! What are we providing for the future other than foul language and meaningless rhythms? Profanity is what this time in history will mean, lyrically, of course. "

This article is very good, but it doesn't provide any argument from the other side. It just brutally rips it apart and gives it no fight back. This article has convinced me of its argument, because it explains its self out and gives you lots of reason and examples, plus it probably help that i already agreed with the topic. The writer could have let the other side fight back so it would have more of an argument in it. A counter argument that they could have used would be the positive side for modern day music, and the argument could be "Some songs still do have lots of meaning!".

I found the ending very effective because it ended with a little mission and had you motivated to pursuit it. It was really well written didn't have any spelling mistakes that I picked up on. Overall I really liked this article because it was about something that i notice and was interested in and it helped that it was well written and was relatable!
