Daft Punk Research Paper

I have chosen to write about one of my favorite alternative rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers from Los Angeles, California. My decision was based upon two things; one being I like the band, while the other was to learn if some of their music is sending the wrong message to our young people. I personally would not consider myself music sappy; never have I really been given a chance to listen to music as I grew up, to find what I like. As of today, I don’t know who sings what song nor really know what the lyric’s mean. With today’s environment young people are given a chance to be inspired by different kinds of media; thus giving them the opportunity to actually find out what the artist is meaning behind the songs. After interviewing four participation;

Being an avid music lover and a communication studies student, I had a desire to integrate the knowledge acquired during the course of my classes with an event that enabled me to understand the dynamics between culture and music events. This intrigues me to study and experience the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival as an artifact of music. Coachella is an extremely popular event amongst individuals of my age bracket where people of diverse races, ethnic background, creeds unite together for the love of music. Considering it the perfect opportunity, I decided to experience the true essence of Coachella. The event is said to be the most popular

Have you seen those weird music festival T-shirts that people wear and wonder what someone could possibly want to wear that for? While they’re sometimes meant to catch attention of people so they may want to look up the festival, it also serves as a reminder for many amazing memories for the two or three-day event. For a long time now music has changed people’s lives in many ways. It has brought people to fame and lifted many out of depressions. But, to those who haven’t experienced a festival, or even live music in general, you have been missing out an amazing social experience like no other. From the kings of festivals like Woodstock or Coachella to the lesser known ones like Rock on the Range (Hard rock/metal based) and Day for Night (variety) there are hundreds to pick from. One of my favorites is Carolina Rebellion which takes place right in this state.

There was so much speculation as to what the band would open with for their 25th anniversary show, and in the most spectacular fashion, they opened with one for their oldest songs, The Song That Jane likes. To make that moment even more special, Dave's sister Jane was in the crowd watching the show. After a stellar opener, the band was no doubt feeding off the crowd's energy. 6 songs into the set list was when the audience was caught off guard by the 1st of the 3 new songs to be debuted that night. The 3 new songs played that night held the titles of, Samurai Cop, Bob Law, and Bismarck. All of them were very highly received by an ecstatic crowd. The band did a fantastic job of blending old classics in with their new age material to keep the energy up. In another surprising turn of events, the band liberated 2 songs that had not been played in years, the 1st of the 2 being a fan favorite, Sugar Will, and the 2nd being the legendary song, The Last Stop.

Stone Temple Pilots were able to turn alternative rock into stadium rock; naturally, they became the most critically despised band of their era. Accused by many critics of being nothing more than ripoff artists who pilfered from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, the bandmates nevertheless became major stars in 1993. And the influence of those bands was apparent in their music, although Stone Temple Pilots did manage to change things around a bit. STP were more concerned with tight song structure and riffs than punk rage. Their closest antecedents were not the Sex Pistols or Hüsker Dü; instead the band resembled arena rock acts from the '70s -- they made popular hard rock that sounded good on the radio and in concert. No matter what

When the 1980s rolled around I was finishing university. I was still sad that my high school years were behind me and nostalgic about the music I enjoyed while growing up. During this time in Los Angeles, California started a new musical trend known as “glam rock”. It blew in with bands such as Motley Crue performing in the clubs around the city. Pretty much this kind of music was either you liked it or you didn’t care for it. However a band changed all that by showing a different side to his music that was a tender side.

Metallica is considered one of the first metal bands of the early eighties. They are a part of the big four, the other three include Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. The metal genre is proven to have the biggest fan base over any other genre. In this article I will only be talking about their early years and going up to their first four albums. Most diehard Metallica fans will argue that their first four albums are true Metallica and after that they went mainstream to try and branch out to other audiences.

From time to time when I was 8, I always heard the same words pop up in my head month after month, “I ain’t happy, I’m feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag, and I’m useless, but not for long the future, is coming….” Strangely, I never commemorate hearing these words, nor knowing that my brother was the one who would listen to the band that would soon become my favorite many years later, but somewhere inside me, these memories stuck with me until now. At random times, I would be doing nothing and I could hear those same lyrics in my head. Fast forward 6 years later and I finally decided to searched up the band, somehow having knowledge of the name, “Gorillaz.” Born on March 23, 1968, Damon Albarn would go on to create on of the most successful

Initial Preview: Throughout this speech you will learn about the birth and development of the modern music festival, how they have transformed, and why they have.

In the summer of 2015, Lee attended the Warped Tour, the largest traveling music festival in the United States. The Warped Tour started as a tour centered on the punk rock genre and evolved to include pop and hip-hop. It also serves as a platform to launch new and upcoming artists, which allowed Lee to open up her ears wider and enjoy post hardcore bands such as Title Fight and La Dispute. Despite the rush and excitement of wild crowds and loud music, being able to meet the artists, take pictures with them, and even get autographs is Lee’s favorite part of a concert night. She recalls meeting four artists within the duration of this year’s Warped

Fearless Records has announced the 6th edition of the Punk Goes Pop compilation series, which will be released on November 17th. Punk Goes Pop has been the most successful, and frequently occurring, strand of the Punk Goes… series, which also includes the likes of Punk Goes Acoustic, Punk Goes Classic Rock and Punk Goes Crunk. Evidence has shown that cover versions of well-known songs can lead to big business in today's market. One quick browse of YouTube is enough to prove their popularity, as a host of user-generated cover videos can often be seen populating the suggestion bar whenever you view an artist’s official music video.

I can feel the warm summer rays kissing my body as I push my way through the overflowing crowd of people. As I make my way closer to center stage, I can hear the music getting louder and louder until the words turn in to unrecognizable vibrations. There is a moment of silence before the first artist hits the stage and then everything turns to chaos. The crowd is going wild- screaming, jumping, and just going completely rampant. In the mist of all the excitement, I drop my handbag. That’s when a tall girl with short red hair appears in front of me with my tribal printed bag. My eyes light up with pure relief. “Looking for this?” she exclaims. “Yes! Thank you! Thank you! I shouted.

I remember arriving at Vans Warped Tour in Shakopee, Minnesota at 9 o’clock in the morning. We pulled into a broad field to park our car. As we got out of the car, I saw how long the line was to get into the concert. We strolled our way down a massive hill to get our spot in line. Once we passed the peak of the

This increase in the amount of EDM acts at the three-day festival has created a much larger EDM scene in recent years at the festival; a website called Thump RSS, an electronic music and culture publisher, even said that “nothing proves EDM’s growth at Coachella more than the development of the Yuma tent”(Khawaja). The Yuma tent is a tent dedicated solely to EDM music. Along with the addition of the new Yuma tent in 2014 and the rise of the EDM scene at the festival, one acronym stands out. That acronym is PLUR otherwise standing for Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. This acronym not only represents the mantra for the EDM subculture, but it is a symbol of the open-minded and free-thinking culture that Coachella

Remember the eccentrics of the earliest Panic! At The Disco videos? The steam-punk infused “Mona Lisa”, and the whimsical fish bowl head-gear of the A Fever We Can’t Sweat Out-era? The vegas-born band’s latest release “Hallelujah” came alongside a video not quite as fantastical, but with CGI Tetris-maze effects abstract enough to make it recognisably Panic!.
