Music Tribes

Indie Rock• Indie rock is a genre of rock music, that

originated in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1980s.

• It is rooted in earlier genres such as alternative rock, post-punk, and new wave.

• Indie rock artists are known for placing a premium on maintaining complete control of their

music and careers, releasing albums on independent record labels and relying on touring, word-of-mouth, airplay on independent or college radio stations and, in recent years, the Internet

for promotion.

• In the 2000's many acts with a musical style identified as Indie signed to major record labels

or their subsidiaries, and began promoting themselves through more traditional media

outlets. This has led to a further blurring in the meaning of the term.

Rock• Rock music is a genre of popular music that

entered the mainstream in the 1960s in the United States.

• A typical rock song revolves around the usual guitar beat alongside with a section of bass, drums and the organ or the piano. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, rock music

developed different subgenres.

• When it was blended with folk it created folk rock, with jazz to create jazz rock and with

blues to create blues rock. It then continued to produce further subgenres such as glam

rock, heavy metal and punk rock.

• Many rock groups consist of a lead singer, electric guitarist and a drummer. However

some rock bands take up more then one role each and some also include additional

musicians. Rock music is more freestyle.

Heavy Metal• Heavy metal is a genre of rock music that

developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and

the United States.

• With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal

developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and

overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated

with masculinity and machismo.

Hip - Hop• Hip hop is a cultural movement which music is a part of

just like break dancing and graffiti. • The music itself is made of two parts; rapping, the

delivery of highly rhythmic and lyrical vocals, and DJing, the production of instrumentation either through

instrumentation, turntablism or beat boxing. • Another important factor of Hip-Hop music is the fashion

that originated along with the music. The fashion was a representation of the music, typically concentrating on

exposing body parts. • The stereotypical clothes worn by hip hop artists are very

little for females, exposing many body parts and baggy jeans along with lots of heavy jewellery/ chains for the

males. They don’t have a typical colour of clothing worn but they usually focus on using clothes that show off the

artist assets and features. • There is no particular gender of hip hop artists as both

male and female write and perform songs under the hip hop genre and are usually in their late teens or early

twenties.

Jazz• Jazz is a type of lively music with

strong, complex rhythms. It was first played at the beginning of the 20th century by black musicians in New

Orleans, Louisiana.

• Jazz musicians often accent or add notes or beats in unusual or

unexpected places. They make up tunes as they play. Jazz music has

changed, and today there are many different forms of Jazz.

• Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, the earliest documented jazz music style emerged in New Orleans.

• Jazz began with a basic trio of musicians: a cornet, trumpet, or violin

to carry the melody while a clarinet played ornate countermelodies, and the trombone provided rhythmic slides and

the root notes of chords or simple harmonies.

R&B - (Rhythm and Blues)• Rhythm and blues also known

as R&B, R'n'B or RnB, is the name given to a wide-ranging

genre of popular music created by African Americans in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

• By the 1970s, the term "rhythm and blues" was being

used as a blanket term for soul, funk, and disco. In the 2000s, "R&B" is almost always used

instead of the full "rhythm and blues", and mainstream use of

the term usually refers to contemporary R&B, which is a

modern version of soul and funk-influenced pop music that originated as disco faded from

popularity.

Emo's • Emo is a style of rock music typically

characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional

lyrics.

• It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C.,

where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "Emo core" and pioneered

by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.

• As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk bands, its

sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and

Indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as

Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate.

• By the mid 1990s numerous Emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several

independent record labels began to specialize in the style.

Pop• Pop music is usually

understood to be commercially recorded music, often oriented towards a youth market, usually consisting of relatively short, simple love songs utilizing technological innovations to produce new

variations on existing themes. Pop music has absorbed

influences from most other forms of popular music, but as

a genre is particularly associated with the rock and

roll and later rock style.

Punk• Punk rock is a rock music genre that developed

between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.

• Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as proto punk music, punk rock bands eschewed the perceived excesses of

mainstream 1970s rock.

• They created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation,

and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY (do it yourself) ethic, with many bands self-producing their recordings and distributing them through informal channels.

• Punk rock bands often emulate the bare musical structures and arrangements of 1960s garage

rock.

• Typical punk rock instrumentation includes one or two electric guitars, an electric bass, and a

drum kit, along with vocals.

Classical• Classical music is the art music

produced in the traditions of Western liturgical and secular

music, encompassing a broad period from roughly the 9th century to

present times The central norms of this tradition became codified

between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common practice

period.

• The term classical music did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to canonize the period

from Johann Sebastian Bach to Beethoven as a golden age. The

earliest reference to classical music recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is from about 1836.
