80s Music is Different than the 70s

The 80s music is much different than the music in the 70s. As the music from the 70s focused on the popularity of disco and punk, hip hop is what shined in the 80s. Disco provided a steady smooth beat as punk provided a rebellious toon as it kept an ongoing beat. The 80s differ because in the hip hop music, the steady beat was often interrupted by the scratching together of records. In addition, as there weren't too many shining stars in the 70s, Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince rocked the music world. As much of the music in the past tended to lean towards a more conservative side, Madonna opened up a racier and revealing side to music along with her dancing numbers. Also, Elton John wrote a controversial song, Nikita, reguarding a man who falls in love with a Soviet woman. The 80s music has opened up new doors to different ways of performing music along with going against the flow and interrupting a steady beat. I enjoyed the upbeat sounds of the music. Most of the songs remained on the happier side of the spectrum and presented a foot tapping tempo. I did not enjoy the country music because in my opinion, I greatly dislike Dolly Parton. As she was a big part of the country genre, her nasally annoying voice turned me away from the genre in general. On the contrary, I enjoyed listening to Madonna's catchy tunes. I can see why teenagers idolized her back in the 80s. She was an empowering woman who brought hope to girls everywhere.
