  • A Short History of Pop ‘Pop’ Is Short for Popular Music
    Read the text. A short history of pop ‘Pop’ is short for popular music. There are different styles of pop music, but they all appeal to the general public. But when did ‘modern’ pop music begin? There were two significant moments. First of all Leo Fender invented the electric guitar in 1950. Then, in 1954, Sony introduced the transistor radio and after that, music was accessible to people in their homes and cars. In 1954 Elvis Presley released That’s All Right. He fused country music with black rhythm and blues to create rock and roll. At that time this was an innovation, and Elvis, who was young, attractive and exciting, became the first teen idol and made pop music a youth culture. The 1960s was the decade of The Beatles, who dominated pop music from 1961 to 1970 with a new folk-rock sound. The Beatles were the first band to play in a stadium: Shea Stadium in New York in 1965. In June 1969 they had their seventeenth number one hit – two more than Elvis. The 60s also saw the first outdoor music festivals and popular music began to have a social and political message, for example, Bob Dylan. This was also the beginning of Motown and soul music with artists like Ray Charles, The Supremes and Marvin Gaye. Think English Elementary • Unit 9 p.107 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE Next came the 1970s and several new genres of music appeared, like reggae (Bob Marley), glam rock (David Bowie), punk (the Sex Pistols) and heavy metal (Iron Maiden).

And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, George Michael ... the list goes on.

  • Understanding Korean Society Through Popular Music
    Situations Vol. 5 (Winter 2011) © 2011 by Yonsei University Hannah N. Bergen (Yonsei University, Seoul) Understanding Korean Society through Popular Music Today one of the most unique aspects of inter-Asian cultural sharing is the hallyu wave. This social phenomenon began in Seoul, South Korea and today accounts for the all pervasive nature of Korean popular entertainment dominating the airwaves of nearly every Asian country. From Japan to Thailand, “K-pop” has conquered the Asian market, and is now turning its attention to the rest of the world. In order to illustrate this current social phenomenon, I have found many sources that all point to the same aspects in K-pop which have allowed one small country to make their entertainment business one of its most lucrative exports. The hallyu wave as a whole has become a blending of uniquely Korean culture with aspects of Western and other Asian cultures which has created a style unique to this particular moment of history. In the words of Sun Jung, author of the article “Korean Masculinities and Transcultural Consumption: Yonsama, Rain, Oldboy, K-Pop Idols,” “Transcultural hybridity is one of the most significant aspects of contemporary South Korean popular culture in the postmodern era and is the main driving force behind its overseas popularity” (Jung 166). This combination has allowed the music and film from Korea to be extremely accessible to a wide audience of various nationalities and languages. In order to clearly illustrate the international success of hallyu, I will focus on one specific aspect of current Korean popular culture: music.

  • What Do the Teen Idols Bring?
    What do the Teen Idols Bring? Innocent smile, sweet sound, soft brown hair, those traits make Canadian boy, Justin Bieber become one of the most popular teenager idols in the world. On Tuesday, March 6, this young pop star just had his 18th year old birthday, and as the MTV channel reported, he treated himself to a $10.8million house as a gift to share with his little girlfriend, Selena Gomez, another Disney teen idol. This luxury home is located in Hollywood, and it is made of glasses and steel boxes. To the ordinary young adults, most of them may achieve the success of buying mansions or luxury products after 20 years; however, it is not anything fresh to those teenage pop stars. In many tabloid reports, there are always the pictures of Selena Gomez with D&G handbag or Taylor Swift with Chanel necklace. For these young people, they are not real adults, but they are experiencing the luxury lives much earlier than other people at the same age, which may cause different social effects on teenagers and society. According to my interview, most college students do not follow any teen idols, and for most of them, Justin Bieber is the most known one and a lot of people get to know him through the Youtube website, in which he started to publish his own video and songs. “The only teenage idol that I know of at the moment is Justin Bieber, since he is all over the news.” A science student, Yochia Kuo says. He is a piano player and knows music, “I know that he is very popular amongst teenage girls, and that his voice is abnormally high for a guy.” Another science student, Stephen, tells me that “the only source I get to know him is from the Internet.
