Description: The use of stock music on Reality TV (Gordon Ramsay & Kitchen Nightmares, America's Got Talent, The Bachelor, Married at First Sight, etc.) has become more blunt over the last 20 years, constantly reusing the same tropes to present a simplistic, highly reified portrait of people & animals. Misrepresenting the world. In this video I break down the most common musical tropes used across various types of Reality TV comparing them to similar tropes used in nature documentaries to show how manipulative and unsophisticated they are. --- Please consider supporting me on Patreon patreon.com/Tantacrul Twitter twitter.com/tantacrul Discord t.co/a3oYi1Rbnc?amp=1 --- Subtitles by Pentameron --- The 'Other' in Music Western Music and Its Others: Difference, Representation, and Appropriation in Music amazon.co.uk/Western-Music-Others-Representation-Appropriation/dp/0520220846 washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/12/23/how-star-wars-reinforces-our-prejudices --- About Archetypes in Branding brandsbyovo.com/expertise/brand-archetypes ---- Helpful Reification Links: Introductory: Reification, Music and Problems of Modern Philosophy - Jonathan Lewis, 2014 pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/reification-music-and-problems-of-modern-philosophy(c07e3c0b-baa5-4001-85f5-a8a6db1c8340).html Adorno: A Critical Introduction - Simon Jarvis, 1998 amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0745611796/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Advanced: History & Class Consciousness, Georg Lukacs, 1923 marxists.org/archive/lukacs/works/history/hcc05.htm Dialectic of Enlightenment - Adorno, Theodor, 1944 amazon.co.uk/Dialectic-Enlightenment-Classics-Theodor-Adorno/dp/1859841546 Philosophy of Modern Music - Adorno, Theodor, 1949 amazon.co.uk/Philosophy-New-Music-Theodor-Adorno/dp/0816636664
