Social Listening: Falling In Reverse

 For this assignment I chose one of my current music obsessions, Falling In Reverse. Ronnie Radke has made quite the name for himself in the alternative music scene, getting hate from many people. Known for his rock star attitude, previous heroin addiction, and "asshole lyrics", there is a lot to be said about Falling In Reverse. Looking into the value proposition of the band, most of the lyrics surround Ronnie's personal experiences from incarceration, issues with his mother, and the corruption of Las Vegas, but mainly the things he's been through.

Introduction!

 Hey there! I’m Rose, and I am a 19-year-old Practical Business Management major at LBCC, outside of school I spend my time as a “manager to be” at a small restaurant here in Albany, Oregon. I am enrolled in this summer marketing course currently because since I work full time while doing school online, I can’t take more than a few classes a term without risking the chance of neglecting either school or work responsibilities. As mentioned before, I am a business major, I discovered my passion for business and managing at one of my first jobs. The way a business functions intrigues me beyond belief, I am a firm believer in the concept of there’s always room for improvement, which ties in with the management perspective. Marketing is one of the most vital parts of a functioning business, the most interesting part of marketing is how easily it can enhance or hurt a business. It all depends on how you market and how much you market for your business, both of those can lead to drastic outco
