Music Genre Assignment

1. NEO PSYCHEDELIA
-MGMT
-MGMT uses the analog synthesizer and a synthesizer uses analog circuits and analog signals to generate sound electronically. MGMT uses synthesizers a lot in their music to create their electronic/alternative type sound. The instruments usually look like a keyboard that produces a different sound and can dramatically change the sound of a song with just one push of a key. 

2. NINETIES
-Pearl Jam
-Pearl Jam uses The White Fender Stratocaster which is a type of electronic guitar that is sometimes used by Pearl Jam head Eddie Vedder. Pearl Jam is one of the best current rock bands, in my opinion, they started up in the grunge area after Nirvana and followed their trend of low sounding guitars with the use of technology in their guitars but sticking to classic rock standards of instruments. 

3. DJ CULTURE
- Grandmaster Flash
-DJ Grandmaster Flash is a solid figure in the DJ Industry for his work in the creation of sampling and creation of the empath mixer, in part based on what technical challenges he needed to beat. Without sampling or beats, there would not be much music for DJ's to use.

4. DISCO
-Kool and the Gang
-Kool and the Gang is an R&B disco band that mixes soul with dance music. Their most famous song is "Celebration" and they used technology in the '70s and '80s with the use of the keyboard to produce sounds to make their soul music something people could dance to. 

5. GIRL POWER
-Lady Gaga
-Lady Gaga is one of the most successful artists in the world right now and while she has an amazing voice and is very talented in playing music she uses a lot of technology in her performances to further elevate her image and show effects on her face like the David Bowie tribute she did where she projected David Bowie's face onto her own.
