It’s been a sad couple of weeks in my pop culture bubble. We’ve seen some very talented artists pass
away. From Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, to Maurice Sendak, author
of Where the Wild Things Are and
let’s not forget Donna Summer! She worked hard for her money and even harder
for her art.
I look back with fond memories, watching the Beastie Boys’ rise to fame in the 80’s, then
spending late nights dancing to Intergalactic
in the 90’s. Reading Where the Wild Things Are as a wee lass
and wanting to take adventures like Max (but happy my parents never sent me to
bed without supper).
All this got me thinking, fifteen years from now, looking
back, who would our YA readers remember as their pop culture influences? I
asked and was delighted by their answers. I’ve included a few below and since
this is a YA blog, I also asked which were their favorite YA novels. Surprise, surprise, Harry Potter still reigns supreme!
So what are your fondest pop culture memories? Who did you rock out to in your bedroom or listen
to when that boy in eighth grade didn’t feel the same way (Somebody by Depeche Mode on repeat anyone? Anyone? Don't leave me hanging..).
Feel free to post your pop comment in the box
below!

The Red Hot Chili
Peppers. I have always loved their music
and my dad used to play it a lot when I was younger.

I’m into Korean & K-Pop. So
my icon is the band Shinee because they’ve trained for many years, love what
they do, and care about themselves.
They’re not just doing it for the fame, but because they have a passion
for it.

Dakota Fanning – she
just seems very intelligent, different, can cool.
Bri T., 14 (Toronto, Canada)
Ed Sheeran because his
music is actually real and means something.
Juliette U. & Charlie T. (Manhattan Beach, CA)
Lady Gaga because she pushes the boundaries of society. She's the Madonna of our generation.

ReplyDeleteNo matter what kind of exercise you do, your body will generally expel sweat at a higher level than normal, so try to choose materials that are optimized for this. Cotton fibers should be avoided due to their inherent moisture-wicking defects (the level of sweat excretion in the chest is relatively high relative to the rest of the body). Also to be clear is that the breathability and strength of fabrics are basically inversely proportional, that is, when you are not doing high-impact sports, try to choose low-impact padded sports bra for the best comfort (especially when it comes to hiking. low-impact high-intensity exercise)
