All of the Western culture experienced the changes in the cultural phenomenon. The music in the United Kingdom was leaving its own impact on British youth, with a similar popular explosion of immediate fans. The most popular British band to emerge was the Beetles.13 This band came on the scene in early 1960s and quickly developed a female fan base. Their music appeared to be a sexual-outlet for these obsessed female fans, more than their young male counterparts. Beetle-mania developed an almost cult-like following, and the band, consisting of four all-male members reached world-shattering popularity.
Also in his era of music Jimi Hendrix seemed to be an influential person in the music community as well. Winning several high profile rock music awards; Jimi Hendrix was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame due to his impressive musical ideas. It is also said that the Woodstock Festival belong to Jimi Hendrix playing the “Star-Spangled Banner” in such a unusual way but impressive to ears of some in which most of the people was gone
While Jon’s statement is a good “at a glance” description of the genre, metal has changed and progressed so much over the years and produced so many subgenres, which I will discuss later, that there is usually a style of metal music that even the most skeptical critics of the genre may find themselves coming to enjoy. While each subgenre of metal has its own unique sound to it, metal has some characteristics that generally remain constant throughout its many different innovative interpretations; all metal bands have at least one bassist, one guitarist, a vocalist or “frontman”, and a drummer, the guitars are highly
An even bigger factor in the development of the style was radio. According to ‘ The history of rock and roll’ In the late 1940’s, radio was broadcasting blues, rhythm & blues, and gospel music, exciting listeners across North America and inspiring young white working-class musicians- especially those in locales with African-American populations- to mix black music styles with the country music styles with which they were familiar with.

When compared to the other rap hits of the time, Run DMC's sound was very unique in the sound of the beats and the skillful, push it to the limit vocals. By the mid 80's, Simmons had founded the hip hop record label Def Jam, and Run DMC became the most powerful group in hip hop. Run DMC then started to experiment mixing their sound with samples of heavy metal guitars, basically combining the sound of each genre to create a gritty, street savvy sound. Run DMC's success showed the rest of the hip hop world that success could be achieved by delivering constant new material that challenged the status-quo with unique sounds and challenging lyrics. Their 1986 album Raising Hell was preceded by the top ten hit “My Adidas”, and then the release of a cover of Aerosmith's “Walk This Way”, off the same album, became the groups biggest commercial hit.
Now, I have already found out a few things about punk just by listening to it. I am pretty sure that the whole “punk scene” kicked off in the UK. It probably moved from their to around the world in late 60’s and late 70’s. Also one of the most original punk bands was The Velvet Underground. Punk music not only sounds good but it has a lot to say in its lyrics.
“We were just the spokesmen for a generation”, answered Paul McCartney when asked about his thoughts on the roles of rock music in the 1960’s (Szatmary 97), “I try to use my music to move these people to act”, said legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix when asked about the motives of his music (Jimi). Both these men were very aware of the influence they held as Rock musicians, and acted upon that knowledge as is evident in their lyrics. There were many other musicians at the time that found themselves in the same position. The position where their music had more value to it than just entertainment, where it could actually bring about change. Rock music brought about the cultural revolutions of the sixties and seventies.
One of the most profound differences is the way both types of music came about. Rock and roll started back in the early 60’s. It was a time when the Vietnam War had just begun. Steppenwolf, The Beetles, and The Doors all were sending out soulful messages through their music. They were singing about war, drugs, and love instead of war.
However, despite these bands belonging to a previous generation of music their popularity is still as high as ever. As they are major influences on their contemporaries, such as Good Charlotte, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy, Simple Plan, All Time Low, and +44 and Angels and Airwaves. However the last two bands were formed by the previous members of Sum 41 and Blink-182. This genre has greatly influenced other genres most particularly the modern indie movement from 2000 to present as many of today’s current bands list one or more of the above as influence.
Emo broke into the mainstream culture in the early 2000s with the platinum selling success of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the emergence of the subgenre ‘Screamo’. In addition to music, "emo" is often used more generally to signify a particular relationship between fans and artists, and to describe related aspects of fashion, culture, and behaviour. Male Emo Female Emo Emo here also!!!!! Emo songs- Emo Clipart Screamo is a subgenre of hardcore punk which predominantly evolved from emo, among other genres, in the early 1990s. The term "screamo" was initially applied to a more aggressive offshoot of emo that developed in San Diego in 1991, which used short songs that grafted "spastic intensity to wilfully experimental dissonance and dynamics."
