Silent Disco

New York City in the 1970’s was a time of glitter, groovy music, and disco. I am Tim Arnold and I attended LaGuardia High School school in the borough of Manhattan. We live in a small apartment as a middle class white family with my mother, my older sister, and myself. My father ended up dying in 1971 during the Vietnam War. After that my mother was never the same. She took to dance to get her mind off of the loss. In my opinion she has actually become really good at dance and I think she is starting

Culture of the 80s The 1980s represented a change known as the glory days, something no one has seen since the 1920s. The exciting fast paced lifestyle is what captured most americans hearts.

I have seen a few dance performances in person and quite a lot on TV and videos. But I say my favorite dancer of all the time is Michael Jackson. His is an outstanding performer and a great singer and without a doubt the one who made dancing an essential element of modern pop music. He's been an influence to a lot of musicians and dancers.

Thomas Arsenault’s Mas Ysa project is a refreshingly and genuinely unique one, and that’s at the heart of why Seraph, his debut album, is so good - Arsenault takes synthpop’s established aesthetic and turns it on its side, all while injecting intimate emotional

Disco became everything, and with no guiding light besides the ever-present beast of American consumerism, disco sold out, changing how music and the scene that accompanied it would be marketed to the rest of the country (Curtis 295).

Order and chaos are related to and dependent on each other. The clear cut distinction between them is man made and an illusion. Society uses order to regulate all aspects of the world from nature to personal lives, while chaos allows for open mindedness and also provides an explanation for certain aspects of the world. This can be seen in science, theology, music, language, and imaginative play. Science is rational, logical, and orderly. It has the ability to break apart complex systems

Throughout its history, music has permeated the significant events of American history. Its effect on American society and the way the American people cope with each event has only grown as popular music evolves and new genres reach more and more individuals.

Their children will remember when Kennedy was assassinated
