MUSIC is not a GENRE

MUSIC is not a GENRE Full service music production and composition. It challenges music lovers to think as if THERE IS NO BOX AT ALL. No kind of music can be confined to a genre.

MUSIC is not a GENRE goes beyond music critique, beyond opinion, and WAY beyond gimmicks to get at the heart of music and how it connects to the rest of the world. Every episode starts with a main music topic and connects it to cultural, social & political issues in unexpected ways. And the whole "genre of music" can't be separated from the totality of our experience. Join host Nick DeMatteo for true music talk from a true music insider.

*WHICH BOY BANDS WERE BETTER IN EACH ERA?*
https://www.nickdematteo.com/mxgallthelinks

There's never been just ONE boy band. Not in any era.

Here we have the 1980s-90s. The 1990s-2000s. And the 2010s. More or less.

Who wins each? And who wins overall?

Points to everyone who can NAME ALL SIX BOY BANDS in this graphic. ☺🎶💙

*HOW MANY BOY BANDS DO WE HAVE NEW EDITION TO THANK FOR?*
https://www.nickdematteo.com/mxgallthelinks

New Edition kicked off the modern era of boy bands, AND THEN didn't quit.

Not only are they still together, when they were going strong they helped to bring about several other very successful boy bands, including one that revived the form in the early 1990s.

What were those bands? And how many?

Listen to the episode and find out everything. ☺🎶💙

*HOW ARE BARBERSHOP QUARTETS RELATED TO BOY BANDS?*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDqVPwxA750

Boy bands as a THING didn't really start to form until the late 1960s, and they weren't fully formed until the 1980s.

But their origins stretch back much further, to groups like glee clubs, barbershop quartets, and doo w*p groups.

I talk about all that and more in this week's Part 1. ☺🎶💙

*SEE THAT PIC? HOW OLD ARE DAWs?!?*
https://www.nickdematteo.com/mxgallthelinks

Digital audio workstations didn't just pop up in the 2010s, or even the 2000s.

Or the '90s. They've been around far longer than you think.
