| | Swing (genre) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Swing bands tended to be bigger and more crowded than other jazz bands, necessitating a slightly more detailed and organized type of composition and notation than was then the norm. | | | They are characterised by the swing rhythm already at that time common in jazz music, and a lively style which is harder to define but distinctive. | | | The second change that occurred as swing music increased in popularity outside the black community, was, to some extent, an increasing pressure on musicians and band leaders to soften (some would say dumb-down) the music to cater to a more staid and conservative, Anglo-American audience. |

| | Genre and recalcitrance. Country music's move uptown |
| | The specter of country music being obliterated, unless it cloaked itself in the dominant music, pop music, is still invoked in Nashville today to explain the abandoning of honky-tonk instrumentation in the 1950s. | | | Country music, before during and after the 1950s, was consciously created by people, not forces, and their beliefs about the nature and implications of change in the music was what ultimately transformed it. | | | The change in country music is a metaphor for, or a reflection of, the shift from a rural, communal society, to an urban society of commercial relations, where alliances are vague and commoditized. |

| | Heavy Metal Music by Genre Including Death Metal and Black Metal and Grindcore and Thrash |
| | When hardcore and metal collided thrash emerged as a fusion of punk song stylings and musical ethos with metal riff styles and topics. | | | Low-fi neo-progressive rock from the late 1960s started this genre, in the form of Black Sabbath, who used power chord riffing and dark modalities to express the paranoid nihilism which was a sublimated counterpoint to the dominant impulse toward simplistic absolutism ("peace" and "love") of the time. | | | Arguably for the most part rhythm music, this genre uses muffled picking and tremelo strumming of power chords or single-string playing to hammer out a machine code of intricate riff textures and the geometries of convergent sound. |

| | Although better known for an assortment of louder bands from punk to hardcore bands, Tooth and Nail's contribution to the swing genre is a debut release by The Deluxtone Rockets. | | | Each of these eleven tracks is a relentless barrage of speedy swing so boisterous you can easily imagine the number of guitar strings and drumsticks the band breaks while playing. | | | Nonstop rocking swing similar to The W's---there are no lulls in the music, and every track will have you jumping. |
