MUSIC
From the 1920’s to Present day
By: Alexander McLaughlin
A NEW JAZZ CULTURE
1920's Music featured Jazz,
Ragtime and Broadway
Musicals.
Jazz music influenced all
aspects of society. Jazz poetry,
fashion, and industry were
effected by the "basement"
music that took the United
States by storm.
ELECTRIC GUITAR JAZZ
In the 1940s, the major strands of
American music combined to form
what would eventually be coined as
rock and roll. Based most strongly
off an electric guitar-based version
of the Chicago blues, rock also
incorporated jazz, country, folk,
swing, and other types of music; in
particular, bebop jazz and boogie
woogie blues were in vogue and
greatly influenced the music's style.
COUNTRY & ROCK
The decade of the Fifties gave
birth to Rock and Roll. When Bill
Haley's Rock Around The Clock
became popular in 1955, the
nation learned to swing to a
whole new sound. However, the
1960s also hosted country and
western music.
Ex. Elvis Presley & Johnny cash
were both popular in the 60s
DISCO
In the 1970s, disco had
become one of the biggest
genres of the decade.
However, aside from disco,
rock music still thrived.
Punk rock grew, as did glam
rock, hard rock, progressive
rock, art rock and heavy
metal.
RISE OF DANCE/TECHNO
MUSIC
The trends in the 80s
favored techno, pop and
dance music. Disco fell out
of fashion by the early part
of the decade, however rock
and jazz remained popular
genres.
MODERN MUSIC
Modern music mainly consists of
Rap, Rock, Techno and Dubstep.
Electronic music is now at the
top of the charts and taking over
what is called modern music.
Artists like LMFAO, rappers, and
many other famous composers
all use electronics as the main
point of their music in one way
or another.
