The Fiasco of the Internet has changed popular culture over time; it is so powerful that for the first time ever it has influenced a number one, purely through blogs, posts and other online sources. The people wanted to go against pop rivals X factor. The power of the people has suppressed the masses by voting for a widely chosen song, this song was a song by Rage against the machine. Popular culture has being changed forever, As I looked down the list of Christmas Number ones in the UK I saw Robbie Williams, Spice girls, The Beatles and then Rage against the machine.
As bloggers and blog readers across the world decided that they wanted Rage against the machine to win the Christmas number one. Popular culture really was influenced by this because Rage against the machine did win the Christmas number one. Popular culture is changing through the internet, if it wasn’t for the internet then there would have been no chance that the people of popular culture would have chosen the song. Well more to the point they probably wouldn’t have gotten the exposure they needed to inform everyone about voting. Popular culture also changed with downloaded many years Gnarls Barkley was the first artist to ever get to number one solely on downloads. How do you think this is changing popular culture? Is this good for the people in popular culture or not?
I am certain that things will change even more in the future. Maybe in the future popular culture will totally eliminate the Idea and concept of the CD and the only way of purchasing music will be online. Who knows how popular culture will change music and what effects it will have on it. Where do you think it will go, how do you think it will change? Im pretty sure that Itunes will become brought by Google eventually and google will take over the world after it has brought yahoo, then Google will buy facebook and truly own the internet. Lol, no but seriously I do think that Google will end up buying Itunes, but popular culture will definitely change due to the circumstances and powers around the internet. With more Itunes and mp3 sales it is very easy to forget about buying music in a physical form. As the internet becomes more of a dominant part in popular culture, the internet will most definitely change music.
