My thesis delves deep into Bad Bunny's music video "El Apagon- Aqui Vive Gente" and how Puerto Rico became an island constantly faced with adversity. I discuss the history of colonialism in Puerto Rico and how it became a colony of the United States and continues to be. I explore the debate of statehood vs. independence in Puerto Rico, gentrification, tourism, and the U.S. media portrayal of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
