Recent rhythms of sex and race in popular music
Article Abstract:
Support for theoretical approaches to sexual and racial connotations derived from popular music is partly due to the different schools of thought and their individual approaches toward media and cultural studies and the place it ought to accord to popular music. The appearance of books, such as 'Sex Revolts' by S. Reynolds and J. Press, and collections of essays such as 'Rock and Popular Music: Politics, Policies, Institutions,' 'Microphone Fiends: Youth Music and Youth Culture,' and 'Sound and Vision: The Music Video Reader' reveal considerable opposition to a theoretical approach to perspectives on sex and race created by popular music.

Social movements and cultural transformation: popular music in the 1960s

Social movements and popular culture can cooperate with each other in synergetic ways and thus help in cultural transformation. The happenings in the United States of America confirm this where the impact of this is still evident. Popular music worked as another type of social theory in the early to mid-1960s transforming the political radicalism that was articulated by intellectuals and political activists into a different and comprehensible form.
