•
we can see an        of rock music that develops between the mid 60s
•
around 1965 to 1966 crossover to psychedelia
•
over the barrier of 1969-1970 continues forward to 1974-1975 and works it's way to 1979-1980
•
that arc of about      years, is what we might think is dominated by The Hippie Aesthetic
•
all of this music hangs around in a number of ideas and             
•
music as                         
•
the artists writing their        songs
•
playing their own                       
•
producing their own               
•
being in control of their artistic                   
•
having a certain amount of                     
•
they never wanted to be thought of as                  or technically deficient in any kind of way
•
high levels of                     
•
embracing technology
•
pushing the art               
•
not spending a lot of time looking back
•
we see this decline at the end of the       
•
on the way in, in the 60s, it's coming out of a craft-based approach
•
the Beatles and other groups make the transition from craftsmen to               
•
it's where the artist thing kicks in that we begin to see the beginning of the hippie aesthetic
•
the music continues to get increasing                    and sophisticated coming to a culmination at the end of the 70s
•
stylistic experimentation, combining and juxtaposing different styles at the end of the 60s
•
country rock
•
jazz rock
•
progressive rock
•
these come together as the business expands and radio has this                        of having 4-5 minute songs
•
at the end of this two-decade Hippie-aesthetic arc, two styles come up which challenge what this arc was about
•
1. Disco
•
essentially a            form
•
it's message was
•
who cares about these        issues
•
who cares about                albums
•
who cares about                          musicians and these long and boring solos
•
we don't even know who the              is, it's not important
•
we just want to           
•
it was an                      attempt to reject the Hippie aesthetic
•
2. Punk
•
the same thing happens with         
•
when people got their first look at the Sex Pistols, they seemed like                 
•
they didn't care about being able to         
•
they didn't care about making            rate performance, they just sort of showed up and began playing
•
it all seemed to              and amateurish
•
many rock listeners couldn't take it seriously
•
3. New Wave
•
then you get the more refined of Punk in the form of New Wave which starts to make                        to rock
•
New Wave bands looked back at Rock history and was often conditioned by the fact that the musicians themselves had been                before they did New Wave
•
New Wave could not escape the hippie aesthetic and the music created by it
•
despite the fact that that is what it is trying to do
•
so while Punk escaped the hippie aesthetic, New Wave remained              of it
•
the rejection of the hippie aesthetic marks an end to this music
•
many of the rock groups from the 70s will continue to have                into the 80s
•
but things start to              in the 1980s
•
but Rock music gets down to a 4-5 minute          unit
•
the extended tracks and                albums are for the most part out of the picture
•
at the beginning of the 1980s emerged       , Music Television
•
this changes the business all over again
