Everyone’s wanted to be a rockstar at some point, even if the closest most of us will get is the video game. Rockstars are rebellious by nature, and these rockstar rebellions explain why they’re so freaking cool.
Heavy makeup, a carefree attitude, and lots of leather. Check out the slideshow for a glimpse at the rockstar rebellions that shape our lives.
Implications - The allure of the rockstar in pop culture comes from a dangerous, risky and exciting connotation that ultimately describes the stereotypical rockstar lifestyle. Consumers are attracted to the notion of fast-paced, rebellious living because it is free of care. Ultimately, consumers enjoy the aspect of escape, even if it is fictional.
