Happy violence includes videos that don’t promote violence for the sake of being aggressive to win, but to make a change. Some may argue that violence is necessary for changes to be accomplished. Violence so often ends in one side, or both sides acting in it getting hurt. Happy violence can be someone acting out strongly to make a change or to show their feelings widely on an issue occurring in our world. The happy violence doesn’t include causing harm to anyone but making statement or being an activist for something that is wrong.
An example would be Macklemore’s music in a strong way through his lyrics, to make an impact. This can be a watered down version of violence because the focus will solely be on his lyrics and the feeling behind that to make a change. He is going to sing on touchy subjects that are controversial to the media, as most artists work is produced to be.
Another sample of happy violence would be Beyonce’s new album. There are music videos for each song to show what she went through this past year in her personal life. She may have aggressive language, but this is to express herself. She is advocating for many things in her album. She is advocating for women’s rights and for black lives. Another place she is being a representative and a voice for the mass media for is for worm who have been in infidelity situations or standing up for themselves against their husbands. This can be considered happy violence in providing her voice. As an artist, this is how she is going to continue to express herself whether it is telling stories of the world, or her own personal life stories.
