I chose this genre of music because it has a lot of variations within the title of dance, for example; drum and bass, dubstep, trance and house can all be promoted together. Dance music using synthesized and computer generated sounds originate from the 1970s, with the most famous first fully synthesized song being Donna Summers 'I feel love'. The electronic tones, and the techniques used to create them, such as looping and sampling, have continued to be used in electro and, especially, house music.
Donna Summer - I feel love (live)
Dance music has evolved over the decades, with trance/drum and bass/rave becoming most noticeably popular since the 1990s.
Below is a playlist showing a range of songs that fit my genre, and an example of a song in this genre you can listen to.
Rusko - Everyday (Netsky remix)
Iconography:
The general stereotype for lovers of this music, and the artists within the genre, is a love of partying. Going out and having a good time is top priority, and alcohol takes a lead role in making every night a night to remember. Drugs are also conventionally associated with this genre due to the rave revolution in the 1990's which saw a massive rise in the UK's consumption of drugs among youth. Clothing wise, there are no specific generalisations other than casual and well-known brands, and there are also no typical hair or make up styles specified to this genre. Music videos commonly display montages of large crowds at concerts and festivals, and the DJ getting just as into it at the fans.
