| | Music and politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The punk rock genre was overtly political: its genesis in the mid-1970s was as a reaction to the aloofness of the bands in the rock scene at that time, and its lyrics often espoused anarchy or revolution. | | | Conservative and libertarian lyrics are mainly found in country music and heavy metal. | | | New musicology is the cultural study, analysis, and criticism of music. |

| | Among the larger genres are classical music, popular music or commercial music (including rock and roll), country music and folk music. | | | Generally music which is to be performed is produced as sheet music. | | | In popular music, jazz, and blues, the standard musical notation is the lead sheet, which notates the melody, chords, lyrics (if it is a vocal piece), and structure of the music. |

| | FT October 2001: The Politics of Music |
| | The music of an older generation was challenged by that of a newer generation, with the former generation calling the latter’s music vulgar, vacuous, and theatrical, while the latter described the older music as outdated, unimaginative, and dull. | | | Thinking that early training in appropriate music can habituate a youth to a life of moderation and virtue, Plato argues that music should be a fundamental part of a boy’s education. | | | Speculating that listening to such music contributed to delinquency, the American Medical Association in 1989 published an advisory to physicians suggesting that they question their adolescent patients’ music preferences as an early sign of possible social dysfunction. |

| | The case of non-texted political music diffracts into a rainbow of related concepts, ranging from the denotative technique of direct quotation, to the culturally conditioned but commonsensical reading of music as Social Realism, to the more rarefied approach to musical structure as political analogy. | | | The latter group, however, seem to be a minority; most political composers feel that music should be understandable not only by musical connoisseurs, but by the working classes whose interest it represents, whereas writing music for new-music specialists and the upper class is regarded as being of little value or point. | | | Independently of all this, we should consider the extreme case of Cornelius Cardew, a composer who not only most sharply defined the role of political music by turning his back on the avant-garde, but who also was the clearest and most passionate writer about what was politically wrong with new music. |
