Humans all have feelings and emotions that have been obtained through many experiences. Everyone can fill up their tank of emotions but at one point you need to release it. People release their emotion in many forms such as physically or verbally, etc. A modern day example of expression can be though poems and music. A few well known icons of expression are Prentice Powell, and Katy Perry.
"The system" is one of Prentice Powells known poems. He expresses his emotion in a angry tone using experiences and explains modern day society. For example, he uses a oxymoron in his line, "Your purse is not hot if its a full edition and we are in winter". He is most likely speaking that society cares more about what is valuable rather than what is needed. He also uses a example that proves his point and expresses it in a harsh manner, "And as long as your kids have Jordans on their feet it is okay if they have to eat Top Ramen for a week for dinner your check is in the mail." These lines most likely are based on his past experiences or what he has lived through. Maybe not specifically him living through it but maybe the things he has seen this modern generation.
"Hot and Cold" is one of Katy Perrys hit songs along with "Dark Horse", these songs used many literary devices. In the song Hot and Cold, her chorus uses constant paradoxes such as, "you're hot then you're cold" this represents that the person is mad then chilled down. Anyone can presume that this song was made to release emotion of love to the person she appointed it to. In Dark Horse, she uses Allusion in the lines, "Make me your Aphrodite" as referring to Greek Mythology. She is appointing to the lover to make her his wife basically.
In conclusion, famous poets,singers, and even regular people release emotion based on past experiences. Whether it is bad or good experiences, you can learn to make out of it through types of expression. In this case, Prentice and Katy expressed it through poetic and song form.
