Popular music began its entry into film scores after World War II. Until this time, most scores still characterized classical film scores with wall-to-wall music and a full orchestra. However, this slowly began to change. Before the 1940s, popular music was rejected due to the difficulty of applying it to the changing moods in films. However, with the growth of the New American Cinema Era, where this style of changing moods was replaced by a single, general mood, popular music became acceptable.

This mainly consists of wealth, power and beautiful women which are the goals of most youth in today’s contemporary society – in other words: The American dream.
That’s “Hot” In “What’s Black, Then White, and Said All Over” Leslie Savan explores the appropriation of the black language into pop culture and its use in advertising and marketing. Savan goes into detail about uses of black vernacular and the “wannabe” (189) nation of different ethnic groups who adopt these slang terms as their own in order to be “cool”. Among these terms is “hot”, which has a vast background in the pop culture and hip hop community and has been associated with being “cool” throughout the youth for the past two decades. (Hot – Having or giving off heat; having a high temperature). At least that’s what “hot” used to be mainly defined as, but in today’s pop culture, it has taken on a whole different meaning.
The Narcocorridos are singing about the common stereotypes of cartels. They are aiming at a new cultural discourse. Narco music is being listened to in Latin American communities here in the U.S. Currently, “the new ‘narco’ genre is so ingrained in American pop culture it's become part of primetime television.” This indicates that many people are becoming aware of the Narco movement.

The Beatles, Elvis, Smokey Robinson and Jimi Hendrix were taking over the radio’s and the Aussies couldn’t get enough of these rock stars. This type of music was aimed at teenagers and young adults and opened the eyes of many teenagers around Australia. When the Barbie doll was released in America and was going to be brought over here they said in the add on TV about how many people are buying them in America making them an instant hit because the Americans like it.

Were we are from the Rocky Boy Reservation our first official Powwow was in August 1964 and has continued ever since. For many years, even into the 1920s, many such gatherings were frowned upon or even banned by the government.

As a result, many tribal customs for specific ceremonies or gatherings were lost, and many tribes decreased dramatically in size.
Music was changing in the sixties decade, in the fifties it was all about rock’n’roll, this changed when pop music and acid rock became popular. The music of the this decade promoted dropping out of society, doing drugs, and helped popularize the word “hip” (Miller 222). The Beatles were one of the most influential bands of their time and changed the way people listened to music forever (Miller 222). During the sixties teens were swept up by the Beatlemania.
