research: growth of music

i had forgotten to put this in towards the start of the blog but i believe its a very important piece of research that i have done about how the music industry has grown and here is a timeline of sorts that ive made.

1960s
Music of the 1960s was characteristic of the revolution that was going on during the decade. It was a time of rebellion and counter-culture in which the younger people were questioning everything, including authority, corporations, the government, and other aspects of everyday life. It was essentially a revolution of the status quo.
The British Invasion was a movement during the mid-1960s in which several bands in the UK were creating a buzz in the United States.

• The Rolling Stones
•  The Who
•  The Animals
• The Beatles

were some of the prominent bands that defined this movement.
The Beatles emerged as the most popular and are now one of the best in commerical success,
They began a trend in the United States and the UK because of their catchy tunes. The Beatles quickly made a cultural impact with their lyrics and their tendency to experiment with different musical sounds.

1970s
The 70s created a trend of relaxing music as well as dance music. Out of this idea emerged the Disco movement.
Although its popularity was relatively short-lived, it created a great deal of songs and artists that are still widely listen to today

• Van McCoy’s “The Hustle” has often been referred to as the definitive disco track. 
• Gloria Gaynor also enjoyed disco popularity with her anthem “I Will Survive.”
• The Bee Gees also helped to define the disco genre with their hit “Jive Talkin’.” Their blockbuster “Stayin’ Alive” is often synonymous with the disco musical era.
•  The Village People’s “YMCA” and “Macho Man” also helped to add to the popularity of this popular style.

1980s
 In some ways, the musical genres during the 1980s redefined the way many bands and artists made new music and it still continues to influence music today.
MTV may have been the single most influential entity in music industry during the 1980s . Premiering in 1981, MTV gave bands and artists greater exposure for their music in a greater and more widely popular medium. The first video ever played on MTV was aptly titled “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the Buggles.
Duran Duran is one of the more popular 80s bands that enjoyed the exposure that MTV gave them.
New Wave and Synthpop was another genre of music that came about during this era. This form held on to many of the attributes of the popular Punk Rock genre coming out of the 1970s.

1990s
The musical era of the 1990s was one filled with a variety of pop, rap, and alternative music artists.  Many of the most popular acts that emerged in the 1990's were bands and artists who enjoyed a type of resurgence in the mainstream music scene after their popularity had dwindled for a decade or so.
The early years of the 1990s began with a surge in popularity for music genres like techno and hip-hop that continued throughout the decade.
Groups like Technotronic entered the Billboard charts with big hits like “Pump Up the Jam” and “Get Up. Similarly, the hip-hop music scene achieved popularity with artists like MC Hammer, Tone Loc, and Vanilla Ice. The subject matter that these artists chose to use in their music was as varied as their audiences. MC Hammer, for instance, sung about subjects including the rise of his career as well as songs about praying for the betterment of society. On the other hand, Tone Loc’s songs were riddled with sexual lyrics and innuendo that seem tame and conservative by today’s standards.
