So I have a midterm paper coming up for my Rock & Roll History course and the prompt is to compare the themes in music vs those in works of literature or film that have similar themes.
I've been given a list of recommend pairings from my professor but I'm also allowed to use whatever other pairings I choose. Obviously I want to use a Death Grips album but I'm having a hard time deciding which one, though I'm currently leaning towards either The Money Store or Exmilitary.
Now, I don't want it to look like I'm asking reddit to do my paper for me, I just thought it would be an interesting topic of discussion and thought I'd throw it out there for you guys to talk about amongst yourselves and also I'd be happy to take any advice or recommendations from anyone regarding ideas for my paper.
In case anyone is interested, here is the list I was given, I had some fun comparing each pair in my head:
Catcher in the Rye vs. The Beach Boys "Pet Sound"
The Great Gatsby vs. Jay-Z "Blueprint 3/ American Gangster"
The Graduate (film) vs. The Kinks "Village Green Preservation Society"
Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" vs. The MC5 "Kick Out the Jams"
Fight Club vs. Pink Floyd "The Wall"
Velvet Goldmine (film) - David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars"
Oh Brother Where Art Thou (soundtrack) vs. The Odyssey
The Grapes of Wrath vs. Bruce Springsteen "Nebraska"
This Side of Paradise vs. The Who's "Quadrephenia"
On The Road vs The Hold Steady "Boys and Girls in America"
12 Angry Men vs. Ray Charles "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music"
Born on the 4th of July/ Best Years of Our Lives - Marvin Gaye "What’s Going On"
Man with the Golden Arm / Requiem for A Dream - Lou Reed "Berlin"
Johnny Cash "At Folsom Prison" vs. Shawshank Redemption
Picture of Dorian Gray vs. Kanye West "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"
Babbitt vs. The Arcade Fire "The Suburb"
Hi Fidelity vs. Bob Dylan "Blood on the Tracks" vs. Broken Flowers
1984 vs. David Bowie "Diamond Dogs"

I feel American psycho would fit ex military well

I think American Psycho would fit better with The Money Store. The feelings of paranoia and suffocation are more apparent, I feel like.

TSOP and Quadrophenia is the only sensible or correct answer.
In high school I wrote a paper comparing "Spirit They've Vanished" to Hamlet by Shakespeare.
Some bullshit about coming to terms with adulthood
