Five Key Questions (by Astrid Campos)

1.- who created this message?

This message was created in 1991 by Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) who was the vocalist of the grunge band Nirvana.

2.-  what creative techniques are used to attract my attention?

Although this song was made in 1991 doesn’t have a music video made by the band, it only exists parts of concerts and videos made by fans; so in this video the creative technique used to attract my attention was mainly the fact that the video is a concert of them and, for obvious reasons,  I’m never going to have the possibility to assist to one. Besides this video  shows the strength with the one Nirvana performed. Others things that attract my attention were the fast melody, the lyrics of this song and the guy who’s jumping and spinning around them

3.- How might different people understand this message differently?

I think that people that don't understand the whole message or maybe they think that the conformism it’s an issue that it doesn't matter, that it isn't relevant, that you can live with the things just like they’re now and nothing or nobody needs a change, that everything is just all right and that just follows the masses. Or people with other view or opinion that not necessarily agree with the message of the song, or maybe people who find in this song another meaning

4.- What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message?

The message in this song is a critic and en attack to conformity and how people obey and follow others just because of it, it’s about being authentic, follow and defend your own ideas and change your mind, because the conformism in this society creates problems and its needs a change, now people see and do without a good reason.

5.-  Why this message is being sent?

I think that it’s because people it’s ok  with everything and like I said before the most of them aren’t authentic and do what others say or do, the title of this song is stay away and it goes for that people it’s like stay away conformist, it’s being sent for change and take conscious of people’s way to be.
