Now it is considered offensive and unusual, therefore deviant. It can be difficult to give a clear definition of deviance as a lot of it depends on people’s values and opinions. What one person views as deviant behaviour another may view as normal. Also deviant behaviour is not always bad; there is good and odd deviant behaviour. This makes it harder to define as classifying behaviour requires taking a moral standpoint and judging.
The research is, therefore, unrepresentative of interests of wider population. Secondly, the questionnaires are seen as being inflexible. When the questionnaire’s responses are finalised, the researcher can see little scope for formulating new interests or ideas and exploring them as it can be done in participant observation. Furthermore, the interviewer may collect biased data because in standardised questions he/she already imposes interests of their own and excludes questions that might be important to respondent. Thirdly, where the sociologist has interpretivist perspective, detachment may seem a big barrier to overcome.

Let us not forget that even older people are engaging in texting as well. Irrespective of how convenient texting is thought to be, it is causing more harm than good. In fact, there is evidence that it ruins social skills among other issues. Social skills facilitate any type of interaction and communication with others. Texting is ruining social skills, which are important to building personal relationships, because there is no body language to show any emotion.
The Beatles were definitely an influential band and could be seen to have changed certain aspects of the world in the Sixties. However, it can also be said that they didn’t change the world in the Sixties, as they didn’t actually change much politically even though their opinions were listened to by the younger generation. Source 16 is a quote from an interview with John Lennon in the Rolling Stone magazine and it shows how John Lennon strongly disagrees with the statement that the Beatles ‘changed the world’. He says ‘nothing happened in the Sixties’ and talks about how nothing changes ‘The same idiots are in control, the same people are running everything, its exactly the same’ this shows Lennon is playing down the role of the Beatles in the 60’s and perhaps his own frustrations at not changing anything. Politically, nothing changed in Britain and whilst at the time they and the youth seemed to be having an influence; everything they protested about didn’t change and they had no real influence over what happened.
Behind any word there is a meaning. However, meaning is not a “transparent” representation for a definition. Meaning varies from culture to culture and differs between individuals. It is constructed and is interpreted by many contrasting views. What one chooses as a definition of democracy can cause a discrepancy for another with a conflicting point of view.

Hyperbole is used in the next line “thousand thousand” to show the persona’s achievements and responsibilities in life, which again emphasises the weariness that he feel.

They are proud to be nerds and they are not afraid to show the world that nerds can rap too. They value what most people in society will call "geeky" like video games, web memes, and technical prowess. Only artist who consider themselves "Nerdcore" should have the label of Nerdcore attached to their music. Also, a part of their beliefs are what they call DIY ethic, which means "Do it yourself ethic." Basically that refers to the ethic of being self- reliant by completing tasks by oneself as opposed to having others who are more experienced or able to complete them for you.
A song can still be popular without a beat or rhythm; it would just need to have really good lyrics if it’s a song. On the other hand, in the free rhythm style of Shakuhachi music, silence works as sound, and it works well. So maybe it is possible to adapt and play music with no sound as its rhythm. Although, I do think it would be difficult, nonetheless, since we Americans like our music and are intrigued by music with plenty of beats and rhythm. As a huge fan of modern day hip hop, rhythm is definitely accountable for the enjoyment and the reason to listen the music.
