I would like to say that I cannot believe it is the end of term, better yet the end of my four years here at UBC but I am so happy. I have learned a lot about popular culture through this course and even some of my own heritage as well which I am grateful for. Isolation has not been easy on any of us, but having sessions over zoom has had its perks.<\/p>\n
As for my favourite topic from this course, I would like to say that I enjoyed learning about narcocorridos. That week blew my mind. I had never heard anything like it in Mexico as I usually listen to just Latin pop or folkloric music when I am there. That being said, I had never been exposed to the more underground genres of Mexican popular culture as my family, which is a mix of socio-economic backgrounds, mostly live in those gated communities discussed in our week about telenovelas. I also really enjoyed the fighting Cholitas, I actually showed the video to my sister and she was more confused than anything ahaha.<\/p>\n
Anyways, best of luck to everyone on their projects and finals, I also hope everyone stays safe and happy this summer \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
