Banana youth () was a term coined in the Polish People's Republic during the 1960s to denigrate the children of the ''nomenklatura'', particularly those who participated in the March 1968 protests. The name referenced the banana as a consumer-symbol of out-of-touch affluence at the time. Emergence The phrase 'banana youth' first came into use during the Polish People's Republic as a derogatory term to describe the offspring of the Polish ''nomenklatura'' who were deemed to have aspirations remote from those of the so-called ' Jan Kowalski', or average worker. The allusion to the banana was in the context of consumer shortages in which such exotic fruit was restricted to the diets of the elite. The term gained particular prominence as a means of discrediting those who took part in organising during the March 1968 protests. In March of that year the national newspaper ''Życie Warszawy'' described the archetypal banana youth as aloof from the average worker and ignorant of their e ...

Tabloid Journalism
Tabloid journalism is a popular style of largely sensationalist journalism, which takes its name from the tabloid newspaper format: a small-sized newspaper also known as a half broadsheet. The size became associated with sensationalism, and ''tabloid journalism'' replaced the earlier label of ''yellow journalism'' and ''scandal sheets''. Not all newspapers associated with tabloid journalism are tabloid size, and not all tabloid-size newspapers engage in tabloid journalism; since around the year 2000, many broadsheet newspapers converted to the more compact tabloid format. In some cases, celebrities have successfully sued tabloids for libel, demonstrating that the tabloid's stories have defamed them. Publications engaging in tabloid journalism are also known as rag newspapers or simply rags. In the 21st century tabloid journalism has shifted to online platforms targeting youth consumers with celebrity news and entertainment. Scandal sheets Scandal sheets were the prec ...

Rapper
Rapping (also rhyming, flowing, spitting, emceeing, or MCing) is an artistic form of vocal delivery and emotive expression that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech, and ommonlystreet vernacular". It is usually performed over a backing beat or musical accompaniment. The components of rap include "content" (what is being said, e.g., lyrics), "flow" (rhythm, rhyme), and "delivery" ( cadence, tone). Rap differs from spoken-word poetry in that it is usually performed off-time to musical accompaniment. It also differs from singing, which varies in pitch and does not always include words. Because they do not rely on pitch inflection, some rap artists may play with timbre or other vocal qualities. Rap is a primary ingredient of hip-hop music, and so commonly associated with the genre that it is sometimes called "rap music". Precursors to modern rap music include the West African griot tradition, certain vocal styles of blues and jazz, an African-American insult game called ...
