THE MOVIE HOPPED OFF THE SCREEN AND LANDED INTO DAILY LIFE. The blockbuster movie receded from theaters months ago, yet teens are still fanatically repeating their favorite lines from the sassiest and most compelling characters. Sometimes the memorable movie lines are repeated by the teens as intimate inside jokes, and other times the lines are viciously deployed in contentious arguments. The movie script usurped their voices and narrates their personal lives. The starstruck teens have adopted the lexicon and attitudes of the movie's characters. If the movie characters preferred to wear black, black is now their favorite color. If the most popular character fashionably adorned herself in soft pink, then the movie's teen audience also develops an unquenchable desire for soft pink outfits. The movie's stage costumes are now the required uniform to eke out a socially acceptable appearance at school. The young ladies carefully imitate the mannerisms of the ever alluring femme fatale while their male peers test how their masculinity compares to the movie's alpha male protagonist. If the movie characters expressed angst about school, they now eschew school with righteous indignation. Teens who are not clued into the new expectations that the stars generously laid out in the movie are crudely ostracized by their peers.
They enchant us, they inspire us, and they entertain us. They have star power. Celebrities wield their immense star power to reshape culture, influence our daily lives, and dictate our consumption habits. Stars are symbolic entities who play a predominant role in acculturating society and illustrating our social roles. Americans are bombarded by images of stars, and every aspect of daily life has been overlaid by depictions and messages from the entertainment industry. It can be confusing to separate your interpretations of life from the entertainment industry's messages about life. Novelty Sense is here to help you find your voice. Novelty Sense embarks on a mission to detect the changes within society as lyrics become our anthems and movies our life guides. Novelty Sense is interested in understanding the types of lifestyles or values star power sells, whether this lifestyle is attainable or healthy, and the types of images that we are lured into consuming.
