90s vs. 2000s

What do you think of when you think of music during the 1980s? Do you picture the stereotypical neon colors or leg warmers mixing with loud electronic or pop music, or do you see more? Music had more of an impact than one individual would think. Along with the famous singers and bands that rose to fame, fashion styles, trends, dance moves, and new products all come with the 80s. The 1980s has forever altered how America as a whole views music because of Music Television, musical icons who rose to fame, and the trends, styles, and products that had been born.

This is also when electric appliances and televisions were introduced into society. In the 1960's a traditional household was similar to the 1950's but had started to change with having a older generation relative residing in the home. Computers were just starting to be developed. Then in the 1970 during the women's movement. The traditional family unit had begun its decline and society was starting to see single parent households and traditional marriage was not thought to be unnecessary and more children were being born out of wedlock. In the 1980's rock and roll was so ingrained in everyday life with messages of "girls just want to have fun" and party. The 1990 brought more wide spread use of computers and cell phone replace pagers. Now for the 2000's, instead of individuals hanging out and spending time with other, more and more people began to meet on the internet. Our entire society has gone from a outgoing social active group to a internal social active group. Talking to other by text message or some other form of

The world we know today is constantly changing. In just 90 years a lot of things have changed drastically. 90 years ago the invention of the car was still pretty new but now it's become apart of everyday technology, along with our phones everything has changed. There are some things that have stayed the same. A couple things that have stayed the same over all that time is women's role in society and something that had just started then but still works just the same are movies. They are a lot more ways that you could compare the 1920’s to Today but I'm going to talk about these two, so let's get into it.

One of the best known decades for music was the eighties. During this generation, there were a number of landmark events. This decade set a standard for music to evolve from for years to come.

The 80 's was an eye opener to a lot of new things, new music, new styles, new points of view on life and new technology. Music was a big hit for the 80 's and so was the technology. A home, family, job and fun was basically what everyone needed to live ahappy life. In the 80 's, people saw the American dream, as a simple task of success andthose years defined them. They were the generation in between differences and facing disagreement andnot turning our backs. The 80 's may have made them idealistic, but it 's idealism that will push themand be passed on to their children, the first children of the twenty-first century.

The transition from the multicultural era of the eighties to the postnetwork era of the nineties triggered abrupt changes in American media and culture. [6] From fashions to family life, relationships, and attitudes, many new cultural elements subsequently changed television portrayals of ordinary American culture within this time period. More specifically, the culture of the eighties is often characterized by the rise of MTV and megastars, techno music and club drugs, and popular fashions such as leather, leggings, and Ray Bans. Eighties culture can be described as the ‘bombdigity’ and nineties culture can be described as more toned down, moral, and ‘sweet’.

Women gained the right to vote at the beginning of the decade. Youth culture changed into a more open and careless generation. A consumer society established itself, as the States grew more urban. But even this period of change and reformant had a dark side to itself and the life of people, especially minorities. Immigrants faced discrimination, even before entering the country, and racism reached a new high with the re-foundation of the Ku Klux Klan - all off those negative attributes made advances like the Harlem Renaissance and the new role of women appear in

The 1980s was full of so many important events and extravagant sports. There are a variety of historic and sport events that influenced what was popular in that time period. The 80s was filled with new advancements in television broadcasting sports for women and many other important historical events.

the importance of that decade. Like the shift away from the government which helped the Reagan era during the 1980’s. Or how diversity and discrimination helped reshape the attitude

The 1980s was a time where a lot of change took place. Some of these changes were pretty quirky including the movies, music, fashion, and politics of the time. Most people were ready for something different and that is what the 1980s presented. It became eccentric with music and fashion from Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, bands like Guns n’ Roses and Metallica, Reagan’s changes to the economy, Nintendo, and bright colors and big hair. The impact of this decade continues on in today’s society.

I would rather live in the 2015 than the 1900's. One primary reason would be the entertainment. Entertainment has changed a lot from the 1900's, In the 1900's for entertainment you would have a picnic or go watch a play. Nowadays everybody goes to the movies, play videogames which is more exciting and fun to do. Another reason would be the technology. In the 1900's the phones could not perform actions that they do now, you can only use them to talk and they were not portable as they are now. In 2015 phones can perform many things like take , pictures, go on social networks, listen to music and on top of everything they were portable. The last reason would be fashion. In the 1900's men had to wear suits after they were sixteen. Now men are

The 1980s was a decade of revolutionary changes on the music scene. The two major developments were the advent of MTV and the compact disc. Music became more diverse, with new wave, heavy metal, rap, techno pop, alternative rock and the "new" country sounds. And music became a huge marketing tool as filmmakers, TV producers and manufacturers of everything from sneakers to soft drinks used hit songs and hot performers to sell their products.

There were no time guzzling metal detectors at the airports... or the schools. There were no grouchy warning labels on the records and no ratings necessary on the movies. And TV shows were acceptable to the whole family. Those were the sixties or at least part of it. Some of the 52 million sixties' boomers called it the decade of peace, harmony and love mainly for the movement for peace and the "flower power" attitude. Others, a little more pessimistic, called it the decade of dissatisfaction because of the protests against the war and the race riots in many cities. For the teenagers it was the decade of sweet sounding, good-time rock ‘n' roll…from the Beatles to the Kinks and many more in between. Still for others it was filled with

The 1980’s were a period of many different innovations, studies, misfortunes, and explorations in the United States. This was a decade full of outspoken, optimistic and assertive Americans, this was a time for change. It was really a period that kind of refreshed the US and created a more confident country. There were many people that were trying to find a voice for themselves and realizing that people have a voice and it should be used and heard. Not only were things evolving in the music and fashion industry, politics were taking a huge turn, for the better, and the general everyday life of living in this decade was different than any other decade thus far.

1900 Versus 2000      I think that we take for granted the things that we have today. Just look at all of the innovations in technology and quality of living over the last 100 years. Back in the year 1900, things went crazy. All sorts of new inventions were coming out all of the time, and people were becoming rich beyond their wildest dreams. In my opinion, the past 100 years have left us in a completely different world.
