Music is a huge factor in the social changes occurring today. Whether it be in costume, style, attitude or even parodies.

 

Michael Jackson

 

Michael Jackson was an artist who had a huge influence in the change in society. Michael Jackson was known for wearing a single, white, sequined glove. The red leather jacket with so many zippers. The pegged pants and the fedora. This was a very new and eccentric look that was new to everybody. When this costume was introduced to the public in the 90’s, people started to realise that they liked his image and the demand for these items of clothing rose as people wanted to be like him.

 

Jackson also influenced a change in dance in the 90’s. His leans, moonwalks and crotch grabs were known worldwide. People wanted to be able to dance like as it was a new and original.
