Module 1 Assignment – Defining Deviance Through Song

Make a short playlist that reminds you of deviance. These don’t need to be songs directly about deviance, they can be songs that remind you of a certain time, sound a certain way, or whatever. You’ll need to share your playlist, as well as a short explanation of how each song you selected reflects something related to deviance.

Let’s go with 3 songs. If you can, maybe make a playlist on YouTube and then share the link. Let’s also go with 3 sentences minimum for the reflection/explanation.
