Ideology, dichotomy and music genre comparison


Ideology - a set of beliefs e.g.; anarchy
Dichotomy -  a split between types of music e.g.; between pop and rock

Pop - conformity

  • Clean cut image. Good look key to success
  • Songs about love - asexual, non - threatening
  • Perform in a conventional way - typical song structures, sings well, catchy hooks
  • Ability to play live less important conform to norms
  • Manufactured, created by others
  • Seen as ephemeral - here today, gone tomorrow
  • For kids

Rock / Hip hop - rebellion

  • Can be scruffy or untidy , looks less important
  • Songs about sex, anger and drugs
  • Loud, abrasive, sometimes deliberately offensive to mainstream
  • Must play well live
  • Non - conformist
  • Genuine, authentic, for real
  • 'classic', built to last
  • For adults
