Music History Research Paper
Music history has been evolving for several years. Some things that have evolved are the way people listen to music. For example, first there was the Cd’s and then the MP3 players and then were the youtube streamings. Just like how people listen to music has changed, the type of music people listens to has changed as well. For instance, Rock was popular during the 1950’s, but today it’s not as popular. However, different types of genres mixed into rock such as pop rock, alternative rock are used to get a variation of music.
As a student from Memphis Tennessee, “the birthplace of Rock N Roll and home of the Blues”, I can easily say rock is slowly dying down. I believe it has passed its prime days, however, I do believe it may come back to …show more content…
This makes me think that rock is a type of genre that lets singers express their emotions to their audiences. Expressions like headbangers or smashing a guitar tells me a different way of passionate singing. I personally think when rock singers scream throughout the song, I think it gets aggravating. When I imagine a band that represents rock, I think about “Kiss”. “Kiss” is a band I believe that had an essential role in the history of rock. I also believe that this band is well known than any other rock bands.
I don’t know much about rock, but I do know there is a connection to the “blues” from attending your previous classes. I also know that it is popular among older generations. I believe the media manipulates a lot of people by playing the same types of songs over and over. By doing this, the listeners get used to the music and soon start liking the music. I think if the media tried something new like more rock music, the young generation could start a new trend.
In this class, I look forward to increasing my knowledge on the history of rock and dispersing my music library to more rock singers. I am also interested in learning about how the rock singers started their careers and what differents things were done during that time. Overall I think this will be an interesting class to learn
