Music in the 60's and 90's

In media me and my partner had to create a presentation on the music in the 60's and music in the 90's.

In North America, Europe and Oceania, the 60's decade was particularly revolutionary in terms of popular music. It saw the formation and evolution of Rock. From the 1950's Pop and Rock and Roll trends continued at the beginning of the 1960's. By the 60's Rock and Roll became more international and by the mid 60's it was gradually overtaken by Pop Rock, BeatPsychedelic Rock, Blues Rock and Folk Rock which had grown in popularity. Towards the decades end genres such as Baroque Pop, Sunshine Pop, Bubblegum PopProgressive Pop and Heavy Metal started to grow popular. Punk and Soul music also saw a rise in popularity. Latin American, Jamaican and Cuban music gained a degree of popularity with genres such as Bossa Nova and Calypso.

Popular music in the 1990's saw the continuation of teen pop and dance pop trends which had come from 70`s and the 80`s. Hip hop continued to be successful with the continuation of the genres 'golden age'. Contemporary R&B and urban music remained extremely popular. Like 1980`s rock music was also popular in the 1990`s. Electronic music risen in the 1980`s, grew highly popular in the 1990`s. House and techno from the 1980`s rose to international success in the 1990`s. Euro-dance and Euro-pop music were highly successful gaining international success. In the 1990`s it also featured the rise of contemporary country music as a major genre.

Since we did both era's together they are both put into the same presentation. Here is the presentation that we created (underneath the Prezi presentation are some extra notes that I said during my presentation I did to the class):

Here is the extra information which we said during the presentation.
