Popular Culture [Monday, February 12, 7th Period]
The classroom is blaring with music and it's a jumble of music. As soon as everyone's seated, Rose turns the music down.
"Have I got your attention? Can anyone guess what we're going to discuss today? And no, Mr. Anders, it is not football or any sort of sport. At least, not today. If you say music well you got that a right! Pop music to be exact!"
"Now, see, pop music isn't just the ones we see Britney and her posse belt out but it's broad enough a genre to include a lot of things. Rock, country, dance, techno -- in fact, back then, Frank Sinatra " Sinatra's music's blaring in the speakers now and Rose shuts it off after a few rounds of 'New York, New York' "was considered pop. Amazing, don't you think? The sixties roll on and now pop music has changed into what we now consider classics bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel break into the scene extending into the seventies creating a disco scene. Think clubs only with scary hair and scary outfits, which of course would bring in the Big, Big, Big mentality of the eighties. This would, of course, usher in the Kings and Queens of Pop -- Madonna and Michael Jackson.
The nineties saw the coming of the boy and girl bands, most popular of all are the Spice Girls (from the old country, don't hurt me, please) and Backstreet boys, from well, this country. " Rose began passing around handouts on pop music.
"Pop music isn't just limited to western sensibilities, other countries have taken the elements of pop music -- songs about love or dancin' , usually all memorable melodies that some times never leave your head-- and made it into their own like Japanese Pop or J-pop, Korean pop or K-pop, etc.
I want you lot to discuss this and tell me what you think of this genre of music, quite popular these days too."
((OCD up!))
