HUMN 303N WEEK 5 DISCUSSION

Document Content and Description Below

Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: • Textbook: Chapter 9, 10 • Minimum of 1 primary source (from artist) • Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition... to the textbook – from critic) Initial Post Instructions Choose one of the music or dance movements that you read about this week and at least one work from that movement. Then, address the following: • Examine the movement and specific work in relation to historical and political influences of the movement. • Identify characteristics of the movement and how the work reflects these characteristics. • Include a statement from the artist and one from a critic. • Include a link to the lyrics and/or video depending on your choice. The music movement I choose is the Pop Punk genre that became a huge mainstream success in the mid 90’s to late 2000’s. The musical movement actually began around the mid-70’s along with the genre Punk Rock before the differences were established. Pop Punk can now best be described as Punk Rock music that includes the musical elements common to the genre Pop. It fuses the punk style of fast tempos, chord changes, and prominent electric guitars with the Pop style of catchy melodies and musical/vocal hooks that are repeated in songs which typically followed lyrical themes of rebellion, teenage romance, politics and more (Rock My World, 2019). Perhaps one of the most well-known and influential Pop Punk bands of the era was Green Day. [Show More]
