MGMT


this is postmodern because it is taking two different genres of music and making a new reality.

this is postmodern because everything is drawn so it is creating a new reality because you aren't sure if it is real or just a drawing.



this postmodern becasue it is taking a song and changing it to suit a new genre of music
this is postmodern because it is making a new reality for the song because it is changing the genre of the song
this song is postmodern because it is taking two different genres to make a new reality
this is postmodern because it is changing the structure of songs because instead of having a verse a chorus and then a verse and another chorus it has a very long into and then starts with a chorus.

Postmodernism

Postmodernism can be seen in film with making new realities like in Pulp Fiction. You can also see postmodernism through music and that is what I will focus on in this post. Postmodernism in music can be that the music can be seen as it is so bad that it is good in an ironic way. An example of this is the Gnarls Barkley with 2pac and Biggie Smalls.

The music from 2pac and biggie smalls is old becuase they have both been dead for over a decade and the Gnarls Barkley song was only reliesed about three years ago. Another example is 2pac agian with other hip hop artists such as Nas and Scarface but they have been mixed with Damien Marley who is a reggae singer
