Music Movements | 11.16.17

Punk: Green Day
I chose Green Day because not only were they a band I listened to in my childhood, but they are also an icon to punk music. They fit with technology because they not only do they obviously use it to produce their music, but it is very evident in their music video for Boulevard of Broken Dreams (link below) in the special effects and camera use for the video.

Dubstep: Flux Pavilion 
I chose Flux Pavilion because technology is very evident in their music (in all dubstep to be frank). Dubstep is made purely by computers and different technology, with little vocals, so it obviously uses technology in all of their productions. Linked below is Flux Pavilion's I Can't Stop.

Disco: Donna Summer
I chose Donna Summer's Hot Stuff because it is very evidently in the disco era. Clearly using technology in all of the sounds, background noises, and musical instruments, she fits in.

Electronic/DJ: Calvin Harris
I chose Calvin Harris for the DJ category because he has very popular music, Summer linked below, and very evidently uses technology. Like dubstep, DJs use computers and tons of different kinds of technology to generate a majority of their music.

Latin: Selena 
I chose Selena for Latin because I know her music from Spanish class in high school and I've seen her movie many times and she's very obviously in the Latin genre. In Bidi Bidi Bom Bom (link below) technology is used from the instruments and generated sounds, as well as technology to create the video itself.
