"Shock Value" by Little Grey Girlfriend, Green-Wood EP 2010 Music & Lyrics: Erika Lloyd/ Vocals, Drum Programming: Erika Lloyd/ Piano, Synth, Drum Programming: Brad Whiteley/ Guitar: Cameron Mizell/ Cello: Caleigh Drane Shock value is the potential of an image, text, or other form of communication to provoke a reaction of disgust, shock, anger, fear, or similar negative emotion. -Wikipedia Shock value has been used in music and entertainment as an attention grabber or as part of performance art for as long as we've been entertaining each other. Mozart, Madonna, GG Allin, Marilyn Manson... In order for the music to become famous however, the trick of shock had to be accompanied by great music, conceptual substance, or well-crafted art. Is that true today? Using absolute extremes to gain attention and popularity is everywhere in our film, television, and music industries, advertising, and our NEWS (which scares me the most.) Sensationalism sells. What is the truth and what is merely shock value employed for higher ratings, thus higher profits? This trick is used so often, on every level, that it has become difficult to be shocking. Creating something that would get the wanted reaction and even have shock value has become an art form in itself. "Bending the meaning, desperation is art." Or is it?
