Performativity!




At the top of this video there are young people having fun. Then the band starts to perform. First you would think that this band is a regular band performing for entertainment for the youth who have gathered there to have a good time. There is a underlying message of why this band is performing. As we here the lyrics there are not direct say of Jesus in the song but the song and the performance is all about Jesus. There are phases in the song that relate to the bible and what Jesus stands for. The band is not the only group performing but the youth are performing as an act of praise to God as they dance and sing the lyrics of the song.

I know when I was beginning my walk out as a "saved" christian. In my mind I  thought that I could not have fun because I was a christian after God hearts, and I had to have all these restrictions up which is so weird to me now, But as a young person that is what I wanted to do. And as I learned through my walk I found that I can have fun and this video definitely was a influence to be young and free. So this is another underlying message about being a Christian and loving Jesus.



People are looking at skin when through a UV camera but there is skin look different when they see themselves through the camera. At the end of the video people put on sunscreen and it's appears black which sunscreen's purpose is to protect you form the sun. But in the middle of video there is mention you can tell when people have healthy skin and those people are people of color.
