Blues means blues, which means bitterness and melancholy in English. Although jazz includes black music, British songs, French dance music, etc., blues is the main component of jazz. Blues was produced earlier than jazz, and may have been a combination of field chants sung by black people in the second half of the 19th century. It evolved from religious songs "spiritual songs" and narrative ballads. The musical characteristics of blues mainly lie in the third and seventh steps of the major scale, and sometimes the fifth step. These flat notes have minor tonal characteristics, and they are often sung with a portamento. The vibrato sounds plaintive, sorrowful, and full of emotions, so some people translate blues as "songs of resentment." Of course, blues songs also have some happy and joyful works. The speed of blues is slow, and the beat is often four or two beats. In four-four beats, the melody often contains syncopated rhythms.
Bruce's singing style is very free and closely integrated with the language and emotions in life. Falsetto, moaning, crying, and mumbling can all be used to enhance the atmosphere. The temperament of the lower class society, blues, brought to early jazz the characteristics of being closely connected with the lives of working people and black folk music.
punk
In 1976-1977, A revolution in punk rock dramatically changed the musical landscape in Britain, for a number of reasons. On the one hand, the increasingly popular New York underground music singer Iggy Pop (Iggy Pop), a performer who had a profound influence on him, provided punk with many unique clothing styles; torn clothes, pinned with pins Plus a suitably iconoclastic imagery. At the same time, British pubs became a feeding ground for young punk rock musicians growing up. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols often attended small concerts held in Kilbourne and Main Street pubs. Joe Strummer of the Clash first learned to play in the hard rock rhythm and blues band the 101ers.
Most young people were tired of the rock bands that dominated the charts in the 1970s, so by the mid-1970s they were increasingly looking for change. Although the sentiment was unclear at this time, by the time a few major promoters, most prominently Malcolm McLaren, turned the initial protest into a musical revolution, the demand The changing mood is quite vivid.
By the end of 1976, McLaren was becoming well-known for his management of the Sex Pistols. The band were at the forefront of the British punk revolution. In the first half of 1976, the "Sex Pistols" performed regularly in London and began to arouse strong interest from the audience, not only because of the raucous and noisy music they played, but also because their music was indeed exciting, passionate, and primitively fast. Rhythmic rock and snarling lyrics full of irony and protest blend seamlessly into one another.
The lyrics to “Collision” feature the same strong sense of humor, coupled with a fierce determination to expose hypocrisy. The band began performing in London in the spring of 1976. The punk phenomenon flourished in the first half of 1976, reaching an early climax in September of the same year when a punk music festival was held at the "100 Club" in Oxford Street, London, highlighting the Sex Pistols and Crash, among other bands. .
In November 1976, "Collision" signed a contract with CBS Records. At the end of November, the "Sex Pistols" first single album "Anarchy in the UK" was released by EMI Released by record label. This was followed by a television interview with record publisher Bill Grundy, which famously ended with a gushing exclamation that made the Sex Pistols the most talked about band in the UK.
1977 was a watershed year: overnight there was a flood of new punk bands, many of them picking up instruments for the first time, and within 3 months the band's name appeared in "Roxy" (Roxy)'s program list shows that "Roxy" is London's main punk gathering place. Here, the image of the band "The Damned" looks like characters in horror movies, the music is fast and fierce, and Manchester's "Buzz" The Buzzcocks created a high-energy pop-punk style. The Jam unashamedly embraced modernist influences, and Siouxsie and the Banshees featured plaintive guitar anthems. In addition to these extremely famous bands with wildly different names, there were countless short-lived bands such as X-Ray Spex, fronted by the charming Poly Styrene, who made some Poor writing becomes popular.
The band's left-wing stance and Lora Logic's characteristic plaintive saxophone playing created some of the more famous punk songs for frustrated young people, such as "Oh, Slave, Get Up" ( Oh Bondage, Up Yours, Identity and Warrior is Woolworths.
Jimmy Pursey's fierce rock band Sham 69 has also attracted attention for its political stance and its tribute to the 1970s "Oil" was indirectly responsible for the development of the musical style, and the band Generation The Who's "My Generation" echoes each other.
The Adverts' "One Chord Wonders" was one of their most critically acclaimed songs; The current affairs-themed song "Looking Through Gary Gilmore's Eyes" entered the top 20. Other bands performing at the Roxy include Chelsea, 999, Eater (famous for his 14-year-old drummer Dee Generate), the Lurkers, the Vibrators and Australia's St. The Saints, the Slaughter and the Dogs, the oddly named Ed Banger and the Manchester-based Nosebleeds, as well as the band from County Durham The band "Penetration" has an outstanding lead singer with extraordinary intelligence, Pauline Murray.
The influence of the punk phenomenon extended beyond London, and even though it was now clear that "punk" had come to encompass a variety of developing musical styles, everyone involved was generally "unfavorable about any kind of music." Feeling disdain for established values, taking joy in confrontation and disorder, cultivating a low spirit of individualism and lofty beliefs of curiosity in activities of a purely amateur nature.” So says one critic of the punk phenomenon.
Competition between bands was fierce, with bands such as the Sex Pistols and Clash, produced by Malcolm McLaren, promoting their own ideological principles and lacking political sensitivity to other British punk bands. Sexual dissatisfaction was deeply felt, especially by Curse, but when the album "New Rose" was released on Stiff, Curse became the first British band to have a national release. So for most of 1977, "Curse" toured all over the UK at a fast pace with their anarchic music.
Although for a long time punk had little intrinsic impact on the record industry, which had succumbed to commerce rather than creative talent, it gave the industry a timely injection of much-needed excitement. Many bands of the time, if not strictly punk, benefited greatly from the enthusiasm generated by punk's peak.
If punk is memorable for anything, it is that it shattered the deified status of established rock musicians of the era and showed young people that anyone could pick up an instrument. Take the stage and make a valuable voice.
This factor alone broke down a host of musical barriers and paved the way for the rise of experimentalism and eclecticism that would later become important features of the musical landscape of the 1980s.
Progressive Rock
Progressive Rock (Progressire Rock) - Progressive rock can be called "music ahead of the times."
As the name suggests, progressive rock represents avant-garde innovation. Its purpose is to open up a new path for pop music at that time and make pop music more serious, literary and artistic. According to the definition of the American Pop Rock Dictionary, "Any rock park that uses a variety of different instruments, mainly electronic synthesized instruments, to create a large number of timbres in order to obtain new sounds and feelings can be called avant-garde rock." Basically, emphasizing the use of various electronic instruments and equipment is the spirit of progressive rock. Progressive rock only tends to be literary and artistic in terms of lyrics and ideas, and has a complete professionalism
Heavy metal rock
Heavy metal rock is quite similar to hard rock, and the boundary between the two is very subtle. Both of them are famous for their huge volume, percussive rhythm and compelling sense of sound. Known for its volume, percussive rhythm and compelling sense of sound. Hard rock has a longer history. It is directly derived from "rhythm and blues". It often uses harsh sounds and sings fast-paced melodies. For early hard rock fans, the addition of electronic instruments in the late 1960s extended it. It becomes heavy metal rock. The texture of heavy metal rock songs is not bound by any rules. In order to pursue intense stimulation, electronic synthesizers are used, and the sound is strong and hot, and the timbre of keyboard instruments, female voices and string groups are particularly prominent. Instead of pure and bright sound quality, they are keen on pursuing extremely violent and stimulating effects. The performance requirements are very high, especially the musicians who play solo cadenzas, and they need to have superior skills in breaking or weakening. It has diluted the artistic appeal of hard rock and diluted the meaning of lyrics and rhythm.
Hard Rock

However, in terms of age, hard rock was born earlier than heavy metal. It is directly derived from blues and rhythm, and sings with harsh sounds.

During his performance at the Newport Folk Festival, Bob Dee gave up the hollow guitar for the first time and replaced the accompaniment with an electric guitar. He was attracted by the audience. I left the stage because the electric guitar is too offensive for the audience who only appreciate pure folk songs. It is difficult to explain folk rock with a definition, because most of them do not have a fixed rhythm or form. Think of the songs they sing as a tool to examine various aspects of life. In their songs, they tell their own experiences, express their feelings, and describe their feelings. The lyrics change content, and the songs are mostly soft. Slow.

Hip Hop and Rap, which are very popular in the music industry, both originate from R&B and retain many R&B elements.

Technology means "high-tech dance music"! Computers and synthesizers are used to synthesize and create some special sound effects. This kind of music is often a combination of many sound effects. The beat of Techno is also 4/4, but the speed is faster than House, and it sounds repetitive, tough, and mechanical, so some people call Techno "industrial noise", but some still focus on melody. The Origin of Techno In Detroit, USA, there are three DJs: Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins who tried to combine electronic music with black music, resulting in Detroit Techno. Detroit Techno is usually gentler and not as strong as ordinary Techno. It can be said to be the representative of modern Techno. Origin.
Ambient
It doesn’t sound very ups and downs, but in fact it is constantly making changes, such as long-term sound effects, or progressive music arrangements, etc., which often creates a It has a layered sense of space, so it is called "situational music", and it often samples the sounds around life, such as human voices, car sounds, and even the melodies of other music... etc. It was created by Brian in the 1970s. Eno created a very "profound" electronic music. Later, Ambient also had branches, such as Ambient House, Ambient Techno, etc. I believe you can understand it literally. In fact, Ambient can be found in many kinds of music. There is even a hint of ambient in some classical music.
Trance
Psychedelic dance music, evolved from Techno, will make you feel "trance-like" after listening to it. , but it still retains the rhythm of dance music and pays great attention to the performance of Bass. Some of them have a "hypnotic" effect when listening to them. The beat is also mainly 4/4. However, I have also heard of people using breakbeat (will be introduced below). For example, Sven Vath's album Fusion.

Also known as Goa Trance, it originated from a small island in India. Goa is the name of the island. The melody often carries It has an Indian flavor. The characteristic of this type of Trance is that it attaches great importance to melody, subtle changes between notes, and often has overlapping melodies, and the high-pitched TB-303 sound appears. It has a bit of an ambient flavor.
Break beat
It is not as regular as the Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom beat of House, but is presented in a broken beat, like a syncopated beat. For example, adding a small break drum to the two beats, etc. , Breakbeat is just a general term. There are many kinds of music that belong to Breakbeat, such as the following Brit-Hop, Big-Beat, and black Hip
