Movement of genre

Music Genre has a way of moving in several different was. For this blog I’m going to ask you to imagine some graphs in your head. The first graph is an onion ( you heard me) now picture the onion peeling off into different layer after layer. This concept is what I would use to describe the way rock moves. Rock by generations eventually peeled off to become alternative by the 21st century. However, music during this time become so diverse that eventual other peel of the onion came off to form indie.


Another way to describe the movement is i a circular movement. This movements contains the idea the music is fades away and reemerges as time goes by. Hip-Hop is an example, with its constant changing of the in style for hip hop as well as the resurgence of old styles that get thrown into the circular pool.

Then there is the branch method. I would like to consider this the giant family tree where all the genres hangout. Through time music has breached off not only as sub genres but into entire genres of there own. For example, American music formed from both folk and bluegrass. Country would eventually erupt from that as well as blues. Blues then had a couple of kids called jazz and rock and roll. The family tree branches on and on from there.


Then There is the Pop Circle. Now imagine you have a circle that doesn't care what the musical style is as long as it is at a certain bpm, the chords are simple, and its the current thing for consumers to follow. If you do not follow those instructions then you are simply not i the pop circle.
