Crayon Sky Music

T say the darnedest things. One day I saw a shirt that read "Destroy Repeat reconstruction of popular culture …"

Is a musician struggling to keep up with the constantly changing whims of fickle popular music, which was like a lightbulb going on in my head! Something evolve if it is destroyed constantly?

To keep making money, the popular culture industry does things maliciously art is supposed to take, if you talk about the music fashion or whatever.

Take the disco music of the 1970's as an example. Rest me in that. In the 70's, everyone loved the disco. Well, almost everyone. Including me. And still do. So there.

But only six months before the 1980 began, music from the 70's was ridiculed by the media, and is going to be useless and worthless. Somehow we were convinced that anyone listened to the disco at the time was something very strange and a bit of a loser. The first phase of the shirt is now closed. Destroys popular culture.

Now 1980. For sides dominated the 80's synth pop (which still had a disco and funk influence, if you ask me), there was also a resurgence in popularity music from the 1960's.

We have been listening to songs like "Stand By Me," "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and "Soul Man "with songs like" Jungle Love, "" Billie Jean "and" I feel for you. "

Phase Two complete. Rebuild.

In the 1990's, the same thing. Far from the teenager of the 90 new brand to be caught dead 80's music anything. Ewww! Not cool!

However, with rap and alternative music for 90 years has been dominating the public airwaves, disco was back. And voila!

Let's face it, the categorization of music has become ridiculous, and although perhaps the disco music of the 70 was changed to "house music" or influence "dance-pop music" disco was still very evident. Songs like Madonna, "Vogue" was topping the charts. Phase 3 completed. Repeat.

The reasoning behind this is simple. Money!

And Popular Culture industries know how to manipulate people. How? Through the use and manipulation of individual and collective ego.

Therefore, is as follows. In the 70's, disco was the pop music of the time and was naturally led to the ego of the adolescent. Of course, people of all ages enjoyed the album, but I mean the basic principle of the shirt he recalls.

After jumping from a decade (in this example, the decade of 1980), and essentially ignore these adolescents age 1970's, which are now out of school secondary, and be in the 20 or the abandonment of the university or college, earning his first serious job struggling to paycheck, maybe start a family and have few surplus income. And I was wondering what the hell is happened to good music.

But in the decade of 1990, these same people are now the mainstay of the family successful, the new owners, who run companies and people with disposable income, and still young enough to be cool to think otherwise matter. And they want to hear the music you loved as a teenager, but want to know if she is still popular in society in general today. This allows them to feel involved.

Therefore, we hope to draw once again unfairly dismissed the music in the early 1980 (ie, music for years 1970), the popular culture industry that make the music starts again in the spotlight. Suddenly, it's a rebirth, a renewal, a rebirth even!

Only now, maybe they call it "classic", or unfortunately, the "old school" and "retro."

Frankly, I think words like "retro" and "old school" very insulting, because they are used only to provide something to build something up. This it is selfish to give the impression that the current day music is fresh and relevant and highest quality.

In this case, I think the white ego belong to the current generation of adolescents, but also to contemporary culture artists have also become much younger, less educated and less musically talented. Of Anyway, it's a little more ego stroking.

With reference to pop culture, the term "retro" and "old school" really came into common use in the 21 st century. And again, the truth of the slogan is the head

Destroy popular culture. Rebuild. Repeat.

Now, of course, the Internet and the explosion of technology has changed everything. Now people can hear you want when you want, without being subject to ever-changing whims of fickle (but intelligent) popular music industries. We are no longer subject to the radio DJs say, it's great. Program our players MP3 with music they want to hear, and that's it.

The pop culture industries to keep trying, however. And if the surface it seems to change in terms of musical styles, fashions, fads, etc, below this, in my opinion, no, not really evolve, keep going in circles, in response to a very human need. The need to feel involved and the need to feel as if the matter, to feel special, to feel fresh.

Ultimately, it is my opinion based in my own celebrations and experiences as a musician and human being. But I think the shirt was right.
