Creativity

New media has allowed individuals to experiment and play around with many different mediums and create their own special content. This is explained in the New Yorker article where it discuses the popularity and the creation of mashups. Mashups are when people combine songs either lyrics or melody and create a whole new song. The mashups can combine songs from completely different genres and artists you wouldn't think to combine but when put together it is unexpected but sought after. This shows the creativity that these individuals have because they deconstruct songs and put pieces together of the song they imagine sounds good.  Mashups are becoming more popular and artist are taking notice in the way their songs are being rewritten and the people that create these mashups are being noticed as well.
