In specific, I want to talk about snowboarding. Snowboarding is a huge part of modern culture. Snowboarding becomes more and more popular with icons such as Shaun White progressing the sport. Snowboarding has transformed the winter olympics. In the past, snowboarding was not a part of the olympics. It was one of the first extreme sports to enter the winter olympics with the super-pipe. Now, the winter olympics are considering including more extreme sports such as slope-style and big air for both skiing and snowboarding. Snowboarding is not just a sport. It is a way of life. People who snowboard identify with other snowboarders. These people talk a specific way, wear certain clothes and share an overall passion for this sport. Snowboarding is a cool thing to do. This is an example of why more and more people take part in this winter sport. They see how fun and cool it looks so they want to be part of it.
The other topic I wanted to talk about quickly is electro music. Techno, house and electronic music is becoming more and more popular. Why is this happening? It has been popular in Europe for a long time and more underground in the United States in the past. Now, music groups such as Black Eyed Peas, MGMT, Kesha, Royal Gigalos and DataRock are creating a new hype and popularity for electronic music. David Guetta is another artist from Europe who is gaining popularity in the United States. He collaborates with black eyed peas and creates new electro music. Now when I go to the clubs and bars this is the type of music I usually hear. I think this is good pop culture and a good style of music. I am interested in what other opinions are on this music. Do you guys like it? Is it to electro?
I love the Winter Olympics I feel snowboarding makes its so interesting too! Shaun White is amazing I love watching him and all other do all the events they do. I could never imagine doing the things they do but I sure love watching them do it. I like how you said snowboarding is not just a sport it's a way of life, I believe in this because all the snowboarders I know are passionate about what they do. I've traveled to Europe before and noticed how electo and techno are more popular over there and I liked it it's fun to dance to in the clubs. It's not my favorite music but I will agree that Keisha gets stuck in my head along with some of the other artists your mentioned all the time lol.
