Bjork: Impact on Popular Culture

Icelandic singer Bjork has had a significant impact on popular culture. It is not only Bjork's music that has had this impact, but her entire being as well. Her solo musical career was launched in 1976 (77island, 2005) and since then she has shown her versatility through her exploration of many different musical styles. The song Pagan Poetry is one of her many songs that have impacted society. Pagan Poetry was released on Bjork's 2001 album, Vespertine. Chock-full …

…impossible to say that one song is responsible for Bjork's influence on music and society as a whole. Though I do not think that Pagan Poetry alone has impacted popular culture, it is an excellent example of her music accumulatively contributing to society. Though her music may not be the popular choice of the masses, her influence cannot be ignored. It is both her uniqueness and truth that inspires her fans and even her critics.
