Scam - is it indecent?

The word "shock" is of French origin and means behavior that does not conform to generally accepted rules and norms. However, in France itself this concept has a more neutral connotation than today in Russia. For modern people, falling under the definition of "shocking" - this is one way to attract public attention to his person. They are often used by show business stars, which are characterized by unusual and even sometimes scandalous behavior, which can cause a mixed reaction of the society.

Shrewd person. What kind is he?

In our time, a well-known master of shocking can be called a foreign pop singer Lady Gaga, who calls herself the mother of monsters. Since 2008, when the first album released by the singer made it popular all over the world, many people are trying to find a clue to her phenomenon. What is the secret of the singer? Perhaps in that for her the concept of "shocking" is not just a word, it is a style of her life that is consonant not only to her inner world, but also to the rabid rhythms of our time.

We can say that the success of the famous singer is the result of a successful combination of a well-calculated commercial approach with unique properties of her character. The audience, instantly buying up all the tickets for its concerts in any country in the world, insanely adores everything that the extravagant diva offers: its shocking dresses, surreal show-staging and the endless pressure of aggressive sexuality.

Eclectic clothing and shock

As for Russian artists, long before the appearance of Lady Gaga on the horizon of show business, the Soviet singer Zhanna Aguzarova glittered on the stage in the image of the aliens from outer space. No wonder she said that everything that concerns the concept of "shocking" is   And she is herself. Those images that Aguzarova tried on in Soviet times and what she wears now can not be limited to any stylistic framework. She literally invented her own fashion, combining in a single suit several seemingly incompatible directions. Today, this style of clothing is called eclecticism.

In addition to Zhanna Aguzarova, Sergei Zverev, Boris Moiseyev, Philip Kirkorov, Alla Pugacheva, Lolita Milyavskaya, Verka Serdyuchka, who are not only the owners of the unfading creative potential, but also amaze the spectators with their variegated attire, can be named as equally bright and recognizable figures on the Russian stage, Impudence and a bright stormy temperament.

However, strangely enough, not all scandalists or behaving in spite of the public opinion of individuals can be ranked as an outrageous person.

Recent acts of vandalism and desecration of shrines, as well as feelings of believers, whose primary purpose is to attract public attention to performers and their political views, can not claim the title of truly outrageous behavior. Still, the concept of "shocking" is something from the category of contemporary art that can surprise people and bring them aesthetic pleasure.
