'#IConfess' is a song inspired by, and written based on, the Twitter confessions of people from across the world, submitted to the artist Juan Zelada. Within weeks of asking people on Twitter and [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-circle) to submit their confessions using the hashtag #IConfess, Zelada derived enough material from which to write the song. This experimental music has taken [social networking inspirations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meloday) to a whole new level. As a song comprised entirely of other people's words, it breaks the boundaries of standard songwriting concepts. The #IConfess song from Juan Zelada continues from his previous songwriting experiment in Spain with the Twitter trend #YoConfieso, only this time he is engaging his audience from the outset of the project. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Crowdsourced Music:** Using social media for crowdsourced music inspiration presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the music industry. - **Social Media Songwriting Contests:** Creating songwriting contests on social media platforms presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for engaging audiences and creating viral marketing campaigns. - **User-generated Content Music Videos:** Using user-generated content from social media to create music videos presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the music video production industry. ### Where This Applies - **Music Industry:** The music industry can leverage social media as a tool for gathering crowdsourced inspiration for songwriting and engaging audiences in unique ways. - **Marketing Industry:** The marketing industry can create social media songwriting contests as a way of generating organic content and engaging audiences to create viral campaigns. - **Video Production Industry:** The video production industry can leverage user-generated content from social media for unique and innovative music video production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Confession-Rewarding Beer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-canfessions.md) - [Motion-Powered Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motionpowered-song.md) - [Text Prompt AI-Generated Playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-soundtrack.md) - [Judgment-Free Confession Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malibu-confession-booth.md) - [Heartwarming AI-Generated Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-radio-optimism.md) - [AI Music Producers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-song.md) - [Question-Prompting Music Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotify-song-feature.md) - [Collaborative Music Queues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songup.md) - [Poster-Inspired Music Playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lineupsupply.md)
