Dance music Questions

1. dance music was in a bad state in 2003, clubs were closing and magazines were folding meaning that dance music was overall in decline.

Steve Angelo is a Greek-Swedish DJ who was a member of the popular band Swedish house mafia. he started to DJ since he was 12, he would release music on different platforms, he talked about earning £300 when he was Djing per month.

DJ sneak also is an traditional DJ who was born in Puerto Rico and was taught in the traditional way, he criticises modern Djs quoting that they had not been taught properly, newer djs thanks to technology can learn themselves and thanks to technology anyone could become a DJ as it is easier and you can be more creative, this has affected record stores though as thanks to online not many people visit stores anymore because it can all be consumed online

The use of technology has now changed the stance of Dance music, we have seen more artists that are familiar with dance music over the past decade and this is because they are able to post on many different platforms like YouTube where teenagers often listen to their music, they would also download music for free thanks to the use of technology.


The traditional genres of dance music include house, techno, jungle, hardcore, drum and bass and many more, techno genre first started in the 1980s with the Detroit tech now the foundation. artists based in Detroit was the first to release techno music.

In america there is conflict between traditional dance music and electronic dance music, now this is simple, young and old conflict with the older generation listening to traditional music and often critisise the younger generations taste in music this can also be said in the other way round and this easily links to this, the youth may not like traditional, 1980s dance music as much as they like the modern dance music EDM, Vise versa

representation the representation of Lester is seen in the clip as he is presented as a sad, self indulgent man who is clearly depressed and this is shown by how he dresses which we will come across later. he says that his high point comes when he is in the shower and this clearly shows that he is depressed and he has no leadership over his family Caroline= a cold and cruel woman you could say and clearly she is depressed to and this theme runs across the family, she tries to be the leader however clearly she is struggling too just like Lester janey= once again a dark character who is struggling with her teenage years, has the power over her father and we see this when she is able to sit in the front of the car, she also mocks him and she is the one that is lighted up when the family who used to be happy once and we see this in pictures, she is lighted up when its dinner and like Lester she is not generous of her mums work. the boy= he is videoing the father and daughter...

Teenagers

This image shows a young and vulnerable teenager who had just experienced a near death experience and she was determined to sit her gcse exam the following morning.  Any member of the public will be shell shocked at what just happened however this girl still sat her gcses. This shows bravery and desire and this perhaps could be the message that the mail online website is trying to share that teenagers are not bad or lazy, they want to put these people in a clear bright light. The word brave has been used to show the bravery of the teens that we have today. I agree with this because teenagers do make the choice that suits them and they should have that choice.   This is a more negative story and it tells of a murder which immediately tells us that this article represents teenagers in a bad way. A martial arts fighter has been murdered and these three people are accused including a sixteen-year-old girl who had apparently been led to commit this murder by their f...

how representations in music videos are chosen to promote the artist(s). Unfinished sympathy was the second song that massive attack released and it was one of the reasons that made massive attack the band that they are today. they wanted to get the whole of Bristol talking and they did just that when this song got released. the post punk theme to this song was not something that many had heard before, clearly massive attack wanted to grab the headlines in a different way and they did just that. they used post punk to great effect and it was something different which the world population clearly liked. even the music video was different as it was all taken in one shot. the amount of time and practice to perform that would have been large and exhausting for the band as they had to spend many hours,days,months to get a good shot and a clip that would be suitable for a music video and the results were worth it. so clearly taking a risk early in a music career can be rewarding as...
