Document Summary
Rock and roll continued: youth culture and gender. Payola and the death of rock n" roll . Visuality is tied to music: live performances, djs in a club, music videos, digital interfaces. The link between sound and vision was not invented by mtv (though music videos are the most obvious place where sound and image collide) The era of the lp was a critical moment in the visual history of popular music . Activating visual and sonic literacies, music videos are texts of excess, incorporating thousands of editing cuts within a three-minute period : advertisements, promotional materials that accompany a song. After mtv: digitized and sonic visual files. Convenient and mobile: music in video games. When visuality was tethered to popular music through the twentieth century, the threat" to youth via music increased. Rock n" roll at the end of the 1950s: Not a great time for rock n" roll. Chuck berry: conviction for transporting a minor.
