Trace Tracks

I was researching some music online the other day, and came across an intriging article about one of my favorite bands, Metro Station. The article was titled "Metro Station's Trace Cyrus Isn't Standing In the Shadow of half-Sister Miley" and it touched base on the topic of breaking through judgements society may make of you. The article discussed how the lead singer of the band, Trace Cyrus, who is half-brother of the famous Miley Cyrus, has had a hard time while trying to gain recognition for his own music, and at the same time disassociate himself from his musical family. Trace and his music, are utter oposites to "Hannah Montana" and her pop-princess, kid friendly tunes, though he is still known to the world as "Miley's brother". I think this story is significant to the world of today, because it shows how the popular combination of mass media, and quick judgments can lead to one massive case of identity crises. Think about it, how often do you refer to someone as so and so's friend, or the tall guy with long hair?
