Punk Rock Genre (negative)
NEGETIVE! - This was a style that continued on the legacy of the 1960s but with a more upbeat and harder style. Heavy guitar riffs and more decibels helped to motivate those who were still upset about the status quo in the country.

The Decade of Greed. (negative)
The 1980s has been described as a decade of greed. Because of the strength of the economy, more people were spending more money on themselves and their families for luxuries and conveniences. This sprouted the record industry to make a statement with their anti-corporation music and their concerts to bring awareness to the plight occurring in other parts of the world.

Series of Changes. (positive)
The music in the 1990s went through a series of changes in regards to the mainstream radio airwaves.

The “Happy Rock” Years. (negative)
Helped to pave the way for the “bubblegum pop” that followed in the waning years of the decade. Artists like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera dominated the mainstream pop music scene well into the late 1990s and beyond. The sexual lyrics and innuendos also came back in the songs of this era that was once popular in the early years of the decade, but they were more blatant than before. http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/90smusic.html -

Is Protest Music Dead? (negative)
Ever since John Lennon and Yoko Ono led a raucous crowd of flower-toting, peasant-bloused hippies in a pot-hazy chorus of "Give Peace a Chance," it seems to have been a pop axiom: When the United States goes to war, the musicians begin calling for peace. So why, since Sept. 11, have we heard so little new music protesting Bush Junior's war on evil? -
