Intertextuality

In the reading "Bootleg Culture" it talks about mash-ups and how they are made by combining two songs together to make one song. We listened to a few examples in class of mash-ups and it was neat to hear how nicely the songs went together it is almost like the beat from a song can go with lyrics to a handful of other songs and still sound decent. Mash-ups are starting to make a hit in todays culture. Mash-ups use intertextuality in their songs. We can find intertextuality in our music, in movies or even in books. An example of intertextuality with movies could be where they make a movies about a plane crashing and people having to survive on an island and then make another movie with the same kind of idea, but it may go differently. Its like one is feeding off the other. Intertextuality is found all over our culture.
