The Medthods Of Development Ideas

with a focus on popular acts of this time

This ISU assignement is about comparing the different methods of development (Mods) to things such as food, or fruit to make them easier to understand, so this blog will compare the the different Methods of developments to famous people, mainly teenage hearthrobs (male, and female).

1. Comparision: The "band" One Direction is essentially a group of five Justin Biebers. They are both targeting the same age group, and incorporate the same messages into their songs (eg. wanting to be loved by a girl, telling girls they are beautiful etc.). One Direction's vocals are also similar to that of Justin Bieber they emlpoy the same use of high voices and a repitive chorus to create a radio friendly song. Their stlye is also like that of Justin Bieber, with skinny jeans, and comb over hair being common.

2.Allusion: In the case of most of these acts most critics when refering to these acts might say that they only have two years or so in the music industry. This is a statment is an indirect refernce to prevvious boybands, and acts who have faded with time and had very short careers (eg. Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter etc.).

3.Classification: Classifying teenage music acts is exactly like clssiglyin anything else there are categories. For Example Bands, and Solo Acts

Solo Acts: (Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift)


Boy Bands: (One Direction, Big Time Rush, The Wanted)




4.Cultural Reference: When talking about these acts, many of them are compared to previous acts who have had an effect on pop culture. For example: the hysteria caused by The Beatles being used to refernce the hysteria caused by One Direction hence One Direction Mania from Beatle Mania.



5. Anecdote: There are numerous humorous short stories that could be attributed to any of these acts but a funny one is the following:

While waiting in the car in a hot summer two brothers were waiting for their parents. One of them turned on the radio and a song came up with the chorus repeating the word "Baby". One of the brother's commented on how the song was bad but the girl that sung the song was a good singer. The second brother then replied "Thats, Justin Bieber, he is a boy...."

6. Process Analysis: The most essential aspect of understanding how today's manufactured acts became so popular, is to understand how they got there, or in other words their process analysis. Step one would be to first find an individual, or group of individuals that is marketable to the public. Then the next step would be to build up a reputation and fan base. Then they must become known, and finally they will become the next big thing for a limited number of years or so.

Hopefully this post did it's job effectively and explaned the methods of developments using analogies properly.
