why is it important for pop-culture representations of history, like musicals or movies, to have historical integrity?

Answer: Because the story talks about the origin and it is important to know how everything came about.

Explanation:

Everything in life has an origin. Social studies have shown us how civilizations have originated and how we have come to where we are, in a modern world that is constantly surprising us. As in the world of music, everything has its origins in how musical genres began.

When the origin of pop music is known, the reason for its rhythms and lyrics can be understood. Songs and music are not created by the simple act of entertaining, but it is a way of expressing what went through their origin and how they could get where they are.

Knowing the story allows you to connect and interpret things differently. Many times people may have stereotypes associated with certain musical rhythms and when they understand their origin they can come to understand what their lyrics and musical rhythms are due to.

When there is integrity history, respect is maintained for what has been a trajectory that has struggled to remain in the place it is today. People have the opportunity to position themselves and to understand many things.
