Representation of Liam Gallagher

Representation of Liam Gallagher:

Throughout the years Liam Gallagher has been represented in mostly a negative way. This is partly his fault with his attitude causing this as well as newspaper gossip on the other hand. 

Liam is a very eccentric character liking to speak his mind and his opinions with confidence. He has a very relaxed and careless attitude behaving how he wants when the wants. He does this as he wants to be a rock star and live the rock star life. 

However, Liam's out-speaking attitude has caused him a lot of trouble gaining newspaper headlines and a bad name for himself due to his actions. You can't blame some of them due to him getting in fights with the paparazzi, misbehaving at music award ceremonies and bad naming celebrities left, right and centre. However, there are ridiculous claims capitalising on his behaviour and making money out of fake stories.

Despite Liam Gallagher's behaviour to the public eye people appreciate his fashion sense. Most Males, ranging from 16-50, try to replicate his fashion sense wearing brands he does or similar clothing. This tends to be most working class and lower middle class that aspire to dress like him and some try to act like him too.

Liam also has a swagger to him. He is speaks in a Mancunian accent using lots of Mancunian terms that then began to become popular and somewhat cool to use. His walk shows his attitude that he is very confident, has an attitude as well as loving himself always singing his praises and doing what he thinks best everyone else is irrelevant to him.

He is very popular due to being iconic and himself. There is very little people like him and is an individual that represents the true working class of Britain. This is very obvious with reception he gets in the working class areas when he performs there as well as many seeing him as a role model.

Below is a video displaying his attitude and behaviour in the public eye which gave him the representation of being a rebellious rock star:

This research is of use tome as it helps me gain insight and knowledge into how to make the artist lip syncing act. Looking into his media representation and his characteristics it can be rubbed off onto the performer in our music video in order to make it realistic and match codes and conventions of the Britpop genre. However, may be some issues due to myself and others in the group being in the lower middle class not working class which is common in the genre and to Liam Gallagher's reputation. This is also important as I will be representing Liam Gallagher in the music video
