Postmodernism - Intro

Postmodernism

At the start of the lesson we listened to a song that was very post modern, the song was by Cold Cut and it was called Let us play. The song is very post modern as it has 'mashed up' many styles of genres. We were asked to write down what genres and types of music we could hear throughout the track. The ones we came up with were: groove, jamming, classical, DJ, base, mash-ups, static, scratching, updated, hip-hop and big beat. After we were told to remember this:

B - Bricolage
&
H - Hyperreality

P - Playfullness
A - Aesthetic
I - Irony
N - Nihilism

P - Parody
I - Intertextual
P - Pastiche
