GIRL GROUPS - Who Run the World? | MxG - Season 8 Episode 24

SUPPORT THIS PODCAST! Join Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/MUSICisnotaGENRE] Get some merch [https://www.bonfire.com/store/rec--mxg-merch/] ~~~~ I was all set to do a bonus episode on girl groups, in conjunction with one of my boy band episodes, but in researching them I found the topic far too rich, and decided to do a full proper episode. A MEGA episode. In fact, the LONGEST MxG EVER.  Like with the boy band episodes, though with a markedly different trajectory, I take us far back in history and through to today, highlighting the most significant girl groups from every era, and reminding us that – like former girl group member Beyonce sang: Who run the world? Girls! Have you been into girl groups? Did you prefer the classic girl groups of the 1960s, or were you more of a ‘90s-2000s fan? Were you aware how different their history has been from boy bands? Do you think girl group solo stars have been as influential as those from boy bands, or even more? What are your favorite girl groups? Discuss dammit!

From the Jacksons to New Edition to NKOTB, the Backstreet Boys & NSYNC, even through to the Jonas Brothers, Big Time Rush, One Direction,  BTS and K-Pop in general, boy bands have captured my attention, both as a fan and as an artist. Part 2 of my mega-coverage features a history of boy bands from the mid-1990s to today – the peak, the retreat, and the big global comeback. I also list my favorite boy bands from each era. Were you into boy bands during their peak? Did you expect them to come back so strongly? Are you a fan of the non-US boy bands that have dominated since the 2010s? Where do you think boy bands are headed? Discuss dammit!

From the Jacksons to New Edition to NKOTB, the Backstreet Boys & NSYNC, even through to the Jonas Brothers, Big Time Rush, One Direction, BTS and K-Pop in general, boy bands have captured my attention, both as a fan and as an artist. This episode is the first of two parts, and features a prehistory of boy bands, stretching back into ancient times and ending just before peak boy band era (which will be covered in Part 2 next week). I also offer maybe the most thorough definition ever of what a boy band is – and ISN’T. Are you into boy bands? What are your favorites? Were you aware how far back in history this paradigm stretches? Did you know how influential this music has been? Discuss dammit!

The Freewheeling Catch-Up Machine #13 - "This ISN'T MUSIC!" - A 200-Year Tradition | MxG - Season 8 Episode 21

This is ALL ABOUT YOU. Fan comments, suggestions, updates. I do them all, as well as catch YOU up on some upcoming episodes. It’s ALSO about something I’ve been dying to do for a while. Every time I hear some old dude complaining that music isn’t what it used to be, I’m reminded of similar old dudes doing that my whole life. This prompted me to look up quotes throughout history to illustrate that, no matter how much music and music technology change, attitudes don’t. To prove this, I paired quotes from history with quotes from the last five years or so. Fun times! How have you been enjoying Season 8? Are there topics you wish I would cover? How do you feel about “the music of today”? And are you aware that whatever you said, millions of people have said it before? Discuss dammit!
