27、t first became popular among young black people in New York City. By the beginning of the 21st century, it had become a presence around the world. Its performers, called rappers, have their own fashion style. They often wear a baseball cap, large jewelry, brightly colored clothes and oversized jeans
28、. And its evident that rap is no stranger to negative stereotypes (刻板印象), but this entertainment medium, is actually a means of human expression. You can find a lot of evidence.

36、 discovered otherwise. But we dont think it compares to the experience of walking into a store and seeing things you wouldnt have seen otherwise.”Thats hardly an old-fashioned view. One of the misunderstandings in retail is that because younger customers are comfortable with digital technologies, th
37、eyre less interested in shopping in person.
