The Museum is delighted to bring you another installment to the “Sounds of Postmodernism” exhibit.

This sound clip speaks volumes to the day and age in which we currently reside, a time and world of air travel and dreams and fame and excess (whoa) and an iconic real estate advertisement gimmick perched high above a sprawling Southern California city with big white letters that can be viewed if you look to your right-hand side.

The echoing auto-tuned shrills of this Scholar of Tweenhood capture the essence of the adventure and excitement of experiencing a new city with new parties and new fashion and new types of high-heeled shoes that she’d hardly experienced before.

Her mentions of icons that came long before her, such as Madame Britney Spears and Jay-Z, illustrate the magic of the music industry, of a very happening and commercially successful world that now continues to fade further and further away into the abyss of the World Wide Web.  But these names are not just uttered for nostalgia’s sake, but are cast as a way to give credence to her teachers, to her elders, to the wise scholars that paved the path of pop and hip hop hooks and auto-tune that she would someday carry forth into the Disney Channel-posessed future of Jonas Brothers Bieber Hilary Duff glory.

And ultimately, when it’s all said and done, this lovely tune tells a story of the disparaging differences that exist within the United States, but how in the end we can all come together to enjoy bumpin’ social gatherings.  While the strength and virtue of Middle America might contrast with the horrors and sinnings of Hollyweird, we can all put our guard down and put our hands up.  With a few head nods and hip movements, “the butterflies fly away” and we, no matter who we are, where we’re from, our what we did (foreshadowing of the next ‘Sounds of Postmodernism’ installment?), we can all band together to have a party in the United States of America.
