Rockstar is a
song by Post Malone released in 2017. The song is about how rappers
the current generation of rock stars because of their growing
popularity. The song consists of famous rock star moments in
history to show how similar they are to what is happening to
rappers currently. I think the purpose of the song is mostly for
entertainment, however I think that there is a hidden message about
how he is starting to go down the road of being a rock star. It is
not entirely pleasant however, because it can be full of drugs and
death for certain individuals. The song Rockstar by Post Malone
uses ethos, pathos, and logos as persuasive tools to push the
message that rappers are the new rock stars of this generation and
it is not entirely pleasant.

This is logos
because it uses historic events. People are persuaded by this
because of the idea that history repeats itself. People are more
open to something when they know that is has happened before, so by
using history, he can get people to take him seriously.
It uses ethos because the song mentions famous rock star who
the listeners could identify with if they were fans of them. The
line Rest in peace to Bon Scott is a tribute to the lead singer
of ACDC who died of alcohol poisoning. She ask me light a fire
like Im Morrison is about Jim Morrison, who was in the band The
Doors, whos most popular song was Light a Fire. It even brings up
a book called Im With the Band by $#$#
2$#$#. Which is about
the life of a rock band
groupie.
It uses pathos in one of the songs advertising schemes. Hs
recording company, Republic Records, posted a YouTube video of a
3-minute-long loop of the chorus instead of the actual song. Since
the chorus was catchy, it leads people to keep listening and look
up the actual song. It used the emotion of a catchy beat to get
people curious about the song, kind of like a trailer for a movie.
This combined with the media coverage it received because of it
created a lot of views. This lead it to debut at number 2 and
eventually reach number 1 extremely
