Country music

The name is from the 20th century. It appeared in the United States in the 1920s and has a wide origin. The content of the songs at that time included, in addition to expressing working life, aversion to the lonely wandering life, yearning for a warm and peaceful home, singing about sweet love and the pain of lovelorn, etc.

In terms of singing method, folk native voices were mostly used at first, and the form was mostly solo or small chorus, accompanied by guitar, banjo, harmonica, and violin.

The tunes of country music are generally smooth and beautiful, and the structure of the music is relatively simple. Most of them are ballad, two-part or three-part form.

The clothing is also relatively casual. Even if you are participating in competitions and important concert hall performances, you do not need to wear performance clothes. Jeans, casual clothes, fur hats, and travel shoes are all acceptable.

In 1925, a radio station was established in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. They started a column called "Operas of the Past - Folk Voices". An 81-year-old folk singer named Jamie Thompson was invited to sing, and the program was warmly welcomed by the audience. From then on, people collectively referred to this music as "country music". Country music has become one of the favorite forms of music for working people in the United States. In the United States, "blue-collar" refers to the lower class, so this kind of music is also called "blue-collar music."

In the 1940s and 1950s, country music came to big cities. Influenced by other bands, pianos and other musical instruments and electronic amplification were added. At that time, people called this music "Nash" Vail". The "Grammy Awards" organized by the National Academy of Recording Arts is the highest award.

The two most important components of country music are string accompaniment (usually a guitar or electric guitar, often with a Hawaiian guitar and violin) and the singer's voice. Country music abandoned the "electronic" sounds (effects) that were widely used in pop music. Most importantly, the singer's voice is a hallmark of country music (folk voice), and country music singers almost always have a Southern, or at least a rural, accent.

As important as the music itself, however, is what it contains, and in this regard, country music is very different from pop, rock, rap, and other genres. Country music generally has eight major themes: 1. Love; 2. Lost love; 3. Cowboy humor; 4. Having fun; 5. Country lifestyle; 6. Pride of region; 7. Family; 8. God and country. The first two themes are by no means unique to country music, but the last six distinguish country music from other American popular music genres. In short, country people have their own sense of humor; like cowboy-style fun; live in a very different way from city people; are proud of their towns, states, and regions; and attach great importance to family. Not shy about expressing religious and patriotic sentiments. These themes set country music apart from music such as Britney Spears and N-Sync.

Rockabilly

In Memphis in 1953, the racial boundaries in music were also clearly divided. Most black people listened to rhythm and blues (R&B), while country music at the time was popular music with white people.

In order to find a way to integrate black and white music, producer Sam Phillips wanted to find a white boy who could sing black songs for his record company "Sun Records". So there was Elvis Presley----Elvis Presley.

The Nashville Sound

Outlaw

At the center of this storm is Willie Nelson. In 1968, he was frustrated by Nashville's rejection of his newer, more personal attempts at music. Nelson left Nashville and went to Austin, Texas, where he started an annual concert and attracted other similar then-unnoticed singers and songwriters such as Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson et al.

Punk

PUNK is an anti-rock music force that emerged in the 1970s. PUNK is translated as "punk" in mainland China, "punk" in Taiwan, and "collapse" in Hong Kong. The dictionary means (slang) hooligan, trash, prostitute, pedophile, despicable, etc. (although its meaning has changed to some extent now). It was first founded by Leg McNeil in 1975, and later by Sex. It has been 25 years since Pistols formed this music trend. To understand PUNK’s impact on the world and indoor space, you must first understand the meaning and development of PUNK.

Overview

Punk is the most original rock music - composed of a simple and pleasant main melody and three chords. It was born in the mid-1970s, a simple rock music derived from garage rock and pre-punk rock in the 1960s. The band's punk music is less concerned with musical skills and more inclined to a sharp stance of ideological liberation and anti-mainstream. This original intention was actively imitated in both the United Kingdom and the United States under the specific historical background of the time, and eventually formed the punk movement.

Although most punk bands are surprisingly similar and their works are too monotonous, many famous punk bands have their own distinctive characteristics, such as the Ramones' bubblegum pop, the Sex Pistols' Face-style power chords, the Buzzcocks' The pop feeling, the reggae elements of theClash, the artistic experimental features of Wire, etc. Since then, punk has gradually transitioned into post-punk, new wave, hardcore and other styles. In the mid-1980s, the punk movement as a whole fell into a low ebb. Hardcore punk, pre-punk, NewWave, PostPunk, Synth-Pop, Synth-Pop, PowerPop, NoWave, PunkRevival )etc. British critic Jon Savage wrote that history is made by those who say "no", and in 1976 there was no louder "no" than punk rock music. From the beginning, punk stood angrily against this phenomenon. And, like all rock genres and subgenres, punk is hardly a completely new movement. The definition of the word punk seems unclear, but its omnipresent heavy metal-like power, unrestrained self-expression, happiness is complete, clear and always uncensored. Overturning even includes overturning oneself---the essence of punk. Punk used crude music to elevate their explicit rebellion to a philosophical level, creating a twisted sense of responsibility and a fringe cultural phenomenon based on theories of subjectivity and negation of negation. The hippies came to an end with their "utopian" gentle and beautiful idealism, while the subsequent new generation went to the opposite extreme. Instead of praying to God, it is better to surrender to God. Today, people are talking more about the inner thoughts of punk rock, so they say, "Focus Interview is punk, Nietzsche is punk, Lu Xun is punk, computers that frequently crash are punk..." That's a far cry, but No matter what, punk has always lived in our world, just like our shadow, always following us. Rock music is a corrupted emotion oppressed by a false consciousness of self-exploitation, while punk is an aesthetically acceptable but politically doomed contradiction. Its unique approach revolutionized the styles of American and British music. Punk music has always existed quietly in the United States, eventually giving birth to the concepts of hardcore rock and indie rock in the 1980s. In the UK, punk rock became the darling of the public. The UK is not the birthplace of punk rock. It is still a place where punk music flourishes and cultural collisions occur. It firmly maintains its different ideas from the United States in expressing anger and rebellion
