The History of Electroacoustic Music

From all the music movements I choseVIRTUAL, TECHNO, PUNK, DUBSTEP and DISCO.
choose Virtual because I'm working on becoming an animator and I love how we are now in a time where we can have animated bands have live concerts. It's crazy to think not only that an animated character has a lie performance but also all the prep and work they have to set up to make the performance seem real which is the whole point of the performance. As an artist for this one the Tupac hologram with snoop dogg comes to mind. I mean it differs with the other bands with Tupac being alive at one point but it stills follows the idea of what virtual is.

With techno I started enjoying this in middle school with Daft punk, I had no idea what techno was at that time but I really enjoy their music. Because I didn't know what techno  was then by the time I heard about it I never really tried to look in to the music, which kind of a shame because now that I listen to some of these artist I missed out on some good music. The Artist/ song I would have to say Technotronic Pump up the Jam, I find this a hilariously awesome song. Even watching the video it screams easily 90's. I mostly chose this for how funny I found the video but it follows a beat which at the time was popular or should I say Funky freas... Yeah no...

OMG The Sex Pistols I can't remember the last time I heard one of their song, granted I only heard like 2 songs they did... *cough.. Anywho! I was never really in to punk music there are a few songs I'm sure I do enjoy and listen to, but I never really looked into music like that. The group I chose for this was Green Day American idiot, even though I don't like punk that much Green Day music and the song I chose are an exception for me. I'm not sure why maybe I need to listen to more punk music, but the first 7 songs before I got to green day just didn't feel me the right way. IDK I'm weird!

I chose dubstep not because I hate it or not because I like it I'm kind of in this in between state with it where I don't know how I feel about it. I've heard some of my favorite childhood cartoon theme songs get turned into dubstep music on Youtube, which is where I first heard about this genre. But Like I said I don't like it or hate it, I guess it depends on how the artist prepares the song. I do prefer Upbeat tones as long as it has that I guess I would like what ever song they choose to play. As for the artist I chose a YouTuber Beeedthemoviemaker  "Kingdom hearts Dubstep (HD)" Because this is one I do enjoy plus it's a game I wanted to get into but I never had the right concel  to play it.

And Finally Disco the one I know more about and know I listen too. I grew up with my dad singing songs, and he may have not sang too much disco music that was one genre he would play on the radio, but I also think disco music has to be the most popular on the whole list I mean I could be wrong but if I remember correctly Tv shows used to play a lot of disco music and they still do. Sherk 2 had Funcky Town! Which is btw the song I chose by Mouth to Mouth.

I chose these movements for 3 reasons. 1 I knew what these movements are or at least heard about them. 2. I wanted to learn more about these movements. 3. there was a song or band that I liked in there. And Each artist I chose for each movement I really enjoyed and why not add bands that I like when they are part of that movement. Now time for a back story,  I never really looked into music through their Genre but more so how I enjoyed the music or song I was listening to. Even writing this blog I didn't realize what group some of these bands belonged to and that was nice learning a bit of information like that. I am always that person who never heard of a band and people keep freaking out that I never heard of a Blink182 song or saw Youth in Revolt things like that and then I never look into what ever I didn't see or heard because I either forget or theres just too many things I've never experience and trying to do everything is too stressful or whatever, so this was a good excuse to learn alittle  bit more about these music groups.
