History of Music

[Gadianton]

So it wouldn't make sense to say that "early rock" is a subgenre. Correct?

Not to me. That sounds like a period, not a genre. "early modernism" isn't a genre, but existentialism, from the early modern period, is a genre.

If you ask a new(ish) band/project what kind of music it is, you'll generally get something along the spectrum of "I don't know, it's kind of like..." or "it's a mix of..." Yet, most people who listen to it will be able to immediately pigeonhole it into a genre or subgenre.

Basically, outside of your main formulaic genres and their key components, there's often plenty of variation and prior influences to wiggle in disagreements of exact dividing lines.

In this feller's opinion, that is.

So it wouldn't make sense to say that "early rock" is a subgenre. Correct?

Try this. Early rock is the foundation or genesis of the genre itself.

I think that was damn near brilliant on my part. Anyone else think that?

But when you listen to the Righteous Brothers' Little Latin Lupe Lu the color divide is pretty non-existent.

DT I think you should ask questions. We don't know what you want to talk about if you don't.

Anyway...you might consider this an example of influence on American music culture at least. I can't prove that MJ lifted this move from Elvis, but I'm pretty sure he didn't invent it. If you look at early performances of Presley where you can see his whole body, you'll see that he used this move repeatedly. MJ actually borrowed from other dancers that predate Presley. He didn't invent the Moonwalk. He copied it.

How crazy, I thought Jackson had a very original style. Wow

Nope. He simply resurrected a couple of moves and made them his own.

The First Moonwalk - Bill Bailey - The Apollo Theatre - New York - 1955 Time stamped for you.

MJ also borrowed from Fred Astaire and famed mime Marcel Marceau, Jackie Wilson, and James Brown.

Elvis was probably like a god at the time. I'll go to see Elvis movie this weekend.

Yes, a god for sure. The King of Rock n' Roll. I have an invitation to go see the movie but we haven't done it yet! The movie has got the blessing of the Presley family so it must be pretty good.

Does someone know how to count the beats in music? There is a repetition, we can count up. When we hear the section repeat, we can start over at 1.

Don't mind me. I got resources!

DT have you gotten anything out of us that helps answer the questions in your OP?

[Jersey Girl]

Does this freak anyone else out or is it just me? Sorry DT! I had to. I did!

Hopefully, someone knows. The first one could be Pagode, Swing, Bossa Nova, Boogaloo, or Samba.

When you posted this yesterday in reply to MeDot I thought it fell in the category of post where someone either trollin' or foolin' went a little too far, but it seemed y'all were having fun so who cared. Whatever you are actually up to here, posting it twice? Ballsy.

I was going to with early rock being the easiest period of rock, but I like your brilliance better!
