Hip-Hop And Youth Culture Throughout the last twenty-five years, a new form of expression is evolving despite the efforts of many in the so-called establishment to minimize its influence on young people. Hip-Hop, has become a widespread form of communication exhibited and enjoyed by young people throughout the world. Hip-Hop is no longer limited to rap music and break dancing; today it represents a multi-billion dollar industry that influences everything from design and fashion to television programming, collegiate and professional sports, mass media marketing and Madison Avenue advertising. Today Hip-Hop is for many a way of life, a culture that is in every aspect of young peoples lives. Hip-Hop ideology is an emerging culture that has similarities to other cultures that have emerged throughout history. Hip-Hop was initially born of the ability of those early practitioners of rap music (DJ wizardry and streetcorner fashion creation) to overcome their inability to gain acceptance and recognition by the established music, fashion and entertainment industries.

ALANIS MORRISET HYPNOTIZES THE CROWD

Last Tuesday night, hundreds of fans went to the Corn Exchange in Cambridge to see Canadian singer, Alanis Morissette. There was not an empty seat anywhere in the auditorium, although it was an incredibly cold night. Sure is cold outside, but I hope we warm it up in here for you, Morissette said to the crowd before she started to play. Morissette used a lot of material from her first album Conflict. She also played a few songs from her new album, such as Everything but, which tells the story of someone looking for love in the wrong places. Morissette s singing was full of feeling; some songs with anger and others with love. Although the auditorium was cold and the sound was sometimes poor, the audience really loved the concert. Morissette hypnotised everybody with her performance. Many people in the crowd were obviously real fans and they knew the words and they sang along to nearly every song. At the end of the concert, Morissette showed that she was a true performer, with a brilliant version of Heartache. She finished with her latest single Ironic -a song about being a star. While I watched and listened, I knew that I was seeing the performance of a real star.
