Music

The five genres I selected to discuss are Punk, Broadway/Musicals, Latin, Nineties, and Virtual. I personally believe Avril Lavigne did a lot for Punk music. She was a key artist that made Punk music more mainstream. Avril Lavigne released several punk pop type songs but she never left behind the her punk influence. She was an artist that made Punk music and style of dressing a trend. The Greatest Showman has been very influential for the Broadway/Musical genre. This Musical is full of technological advancements. There are a lot of stunts that require the actors to fly through the air. The characters were digitally edited to resemble circus people. The videos really push the boundaries of what a typical musical is supposed to be. Daddy Yankee has bought Latin music to America and has completely made it mainstream. You hear his songs in every night club and on every radio station. He has a lot of songs that have an electro dance music feel but they all are about Latin culture. Micheal Jackson was a major part of music in general and definitely a large part of the nineties. His music videos were literal short films. He utilized technology in his videos and had very innovative concepts for his videos. His use of technology in is videos is just one of the many reasons why he is such a legend. Alvin and the Chipmunks are probably the longest lasting and most successful virtual bands of all time. They have several albums and even had a tour. The Chipmunks are the definition of technological advancement because they are not real. The Chipmunks have lasted decades and as time goes on the band appears to be getting progressively more real looking.
