Explosions!

Dear Reader,

I am going to tell you something about what happens in the following infamous clips. These clips include "My Generation" by The Who and "Wild Thing" by Jimi Hendrix! I am going to find out if I think these clips are related to "destruction", if it is art, if i feel liberated by it etc.

A] The Who, My Generation

The motion of this song is really good. In the beginning, the atmosphere begins like a normal rock song. I think this makes the audience already give some hints about what the band is like, and how they will continue. But as we move on, and go deeper into the song, it becomes more aggressive and harder. This may result into the change of opinions the audience had in the beginning. This is very good, because it stays interesting all the time. Especially at the end there is an 'explosion'. This is because of the fact that the band members start to throw with the gear and go really 'wild'. This gives me a liberated feeling, since you can go wild and do whatever you want to do. It is really expressed in this clip, and you can see how the band members react on this. All of these elements make me think that this can be related to a type of art. Expression is a really important factor in art, and I think that the liberated feelings are really expressed in this clip. The audience get new things to see as we move on further in the song and so they interact really close with each other!

B] Jimi Hendrix, Wild Thing

Jimi's performance in this clip is also a completely freakout. The clip just starts the same as with My Generation. It starts with Jimi's own style, which is how the audience already got their own thoughts about this performer. As the song continues, the song gets 'wilder'. This could be expected, since Jimi's style is exactly like this. But the fact that in the end he puts a fire on his guitar is really shocking and expressive. This does show elements of the fact the feeling of liberation is included, since you can go your own way and follow your own path. This is also why I think this song is also a type of art. The whole clip is interesting to watch since the motion is really used as a 'build-up'. The audience stays interacted all of the time, and can really form their own opinions and view on this performance!

Thanks for reading!
