Maslows triangle

Abraham Maslow is an American psychologist who suggests that each person has different layers of need and work through each until self actualization is reached he suggests that each 'layer' needs to be satisfied before a person can successfully move on to the next. However Maslow does suggest that most people never really successfully make their way through all the layers so never truly reach self actualisation.
The first music video was accepted into society due to a person's want to be someone else. A person accepts and interprets the video to suit the music. By discovering new videos they gain status from listening to certain things who others have yet to discover. This obviously causing a constant need for new upcoming music and music videos. psychologists have done various studies into what people listen to, and when asked what music they like they often don't say the music they really like (such as guilty pleasures) they would say something that suits the person they want to be. The music they say they like tends to fit into main stream norms, and not the person they truly are.
