metacognitive analysis part 2



Everywhere now all you can see is writing, blog posting, and any other social media that billions of people all over the world are a part of. Over the past month or so I had the opportunity of creating and maintaining my own blog. My blog as a topic of my choosing and I decided to create a blog about electronic music. The purpose of my blog was to show how electronic music is misunderstood and is just seen negatively by society. After collecting all of my resources and evidence I was asked to write a “hybrid essay” about my topic. A hybrid essay is nothing like any ordinary essay but on the contrary uses pictures, poems, videos, and other multimedia devices. Electronic music and electronic event are more about being at the same place enjoying your night with people who are there for the same reason. It brings people together from all over the world to enjoy a memorable night. What non rave goers don’t know is that people at raves are not even close to unfriendly, everywhere you turn you meet a random stranger to dance and have a good time with. Raves are like taking all of your social media friends multiplying them by about five hundred and partying together, all the attendees make you feel like you have known them for years and just want to have fun together. My blog expressed all pros and cons of raves even though some people see it as all negative and some see it as all fun. In my opinion I do realize the dangers in raves and what they can cause, but I also realize that there is so much more to them then just drugs. If you go to a rave you will notice that 90% of the people in attendance are not on any drug. Having raves banned is like having bob Marley not go on tour because there is weed smoking at his concert or shutting down a rock concert because of mosh pits. I realized after my blogs that to some people who take part in all of these unnatural activities going on at raves just realize that it has evolved into a part of the culture. Electronic music evolved from concerts in a Chicago warehouse to raves with thousands of people all around the world.
