Music

I choose this topic because I feel that music is the only thing that really connects us. We are all different, but when it comes to music that’s where people from different places, race, etc., all come together for one thing. We each understand certain songs differently, but at the end we find people who love that same song and the same artists. I have met people who I really don’t know, but our love for that artist is what brought us together. We all love different artists, but somewhere out there, there’s someone who has the same idol as you. When you become part of a fandom, you finally feel like you belong there. For example, I am part of many fandoms, but the one I enjoy being in the most is the Mendes Army. The Mendes Army is the fandom name for those who support Shawn Mendes. That fandom is one of the most positive people and you always see us spreading love and kindness. The reason why we are like that is because we have an amazing idol who teaches us to be kind to each other. I have been in that fandom for around two to three years and every time it gets better and I learn new things. Yesterday, June 4, was actually a very special day for two reasons. First, it was Mendes Army Day because three years ago yesterday Shawn Mendes got signed with Island Records and he has come so far since. Secondly, the benefit concert for the Manchester attack, happened yesterday. People and artists all came together and showed everyone the importance of music and how we won’t let anyone tear it down. Someone comes and tries to make us be afraid of going to concerts and enjoying our music, but music is too important and we let anyone take it away. That is really what yesterday was about, people coming together to show that we aren’t scared. We will keep enjoying our music no matter what anyone does. Every Time they try to tear us down, we will come up stronger. Music is the one of the best things we have don’t let ANYONE take that away!
