Pussy Riot
Pussy Riot was a Russian feminist punk rock band who protested against rape, domestic abuse and other things that women were trying to fight against. I feel like it was great how they would stand up for what they believe in, but there is a time an a place for that and I don't think storming in a church was the right call. People go to church to worship god and taking over the church and singing about what they believed in was uncalled for. There sentence for committing this crime was two years and when I saw that I was shocked. I knew they would go to jail, but I only thought like six months to a year. Plus some of these girls were in early twenties which is crazy for them to go to jail so young.
Pussy Riot also had a song called "I cant breath" and this song was a tribute to a man in New York who was strangled to death by police for selling cigarettes illegally. The man told the police he would stop selling them and to stay away from him but, they kept coming closer than grabbed him. He told the police to let go because he couldn't breath. I guess they didn't hear him and the man ended up dying. In the music video to the song they show two people getting buried alive. This music video really stood out to me because it was terrifying we had to watch two people being buried alive. Also some of the mans words were in the song which I thought was a good way to show respect to him.
I agree with you 100% It's great that they are speaking up but at the same time if they deliver their message the wrong way then people will not focus on their actual message they will focused more on their negativity

ReplyDeleteI agree with the part that you said it was wrong to protest in the church. I believe church shouldn't be the place to protest especially the way they did it. You made a really good point in your post also.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I said this throughout my post and i will gladly say it again; there is a time and a place for everything!! I support their decision to sing about what they believe in, however, i do not support all of the places and ways in which they decided to sing them.
