The Young Music Today

When news broke that Michael Jackson's death to fill the wide realm of news and late July, a teenager, call Tita (13), filling her Facebook status with writing like this: "Duh, it's Michael Jackson ... ya really popular everywhere purely MJ . "

Tita, like many other ABG girl, amazed to see the world was so grieved by the death of Michael Jackson. News these days is filled about Jacko, Michael familiar greetings, all. So is Facebook and Twitter status of the wide, all comment on the departure of the King of Pop Jacko.

Tita natural Actually not too familiar Jacko. When Tita began to know the world, the king's fame actually began to fade. As a result he is more familiar with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, or D'Masiv, Nidji, Afghan, and Regine Velasquez.

In the obituary, Newsweek magazine calls Jackson's death as well as the death of an era. "He's probably the king (musical) last we ever had ... after that there's no one-no matter how genius or popular he is."

Opinion was not entirely wrong. Jacko was not replaced until now. Although more up musicians, no one can match Jacko and deserve continued his throne as king.

We could easily call the era of the 1980s and 1990s as an era Jacko. But we will have difficulty if you want to label this era. Yes, a big question posted, the era of the 2000s was owned by whom?

We do not want to pretend to answer the big question. Let the music historians who answered after this past decade. We just want to discuss what about the music that young people like nowadays?



YEARS SINCE then pop back pretty much find kedigdayaannya. This kind of music had sunk into the edge of the dangdut-rock pioneered ngebor Inul Daratista-entered the realm of mainstream pop culture spectacle. The TV in the early to mid 2000s filled dangdut music. Dangdut dance jebis variety of public space-filling there is ngebor, ngecor, until the last gergajinya Goddess Perssik rocking.

Gradually, the saturated. When it comes Peter Pan. Beauty Ariel, vocalist, and sweet music to lull many people. Band era pop-rock echoed. Since the success of Peter Pan appeared hundreds of bands, ranging from up to Nidji Samsons.

Public reaction that started back fond of pop music and then glanced at the TV station. Pop music again given a place of honor, given a television show whose content they are purely music video or where they played. Starting with Hip Hip Hurray and Inbox on SCTV, now all have TV stariun similar events. RCTI, for example, relies on Strikes as a superior program. Practical living a faithful TPI dangdut music plays.

Denny music Sakrie observers to Indonesia Rolling Stone magazine once said, now is the time the music of Indonesia. Kinilah, he said, for the first time in the history of Indonesian music actually hosted in their own country. "Almost 90 percent of Indonesia Indonesia singing," he claims.

If the claim is true that young people in Indonesia is now more familiar with the local music than the music outside. Indonesia enjoyed the music is no longer considered tacky like the 80s or 90's first.

As more and more popular music show on TV, bands and solo singers emerging new every day. If there was only Sheila on 7, Rice, or Brown and Peter Pan, Samsons, and Nidji; now there is Jasmine Trias, Jasmine, ST 12, the mayor, and who knows what else. Soloists in a row, before we only knew Ballerina or Joey Ayala; now there is a new generation represented by Rossa, Vidi Alviano, and skyrocketing-and die-Mbah Surip.



The question then, what kind of pop music on earth who liked the young kids? No easy answer. Because young children have a favorite variety. Look at the middle of the popular bands today, have a diverse music features. Melayu pop music tone represented by Joey Ayala, ST 12, Sam, and the Guardian. Meanwhile there is also a place for creative pop music from Yovie & Nuno, as there is a place for rap and hip-hop enthusiasts (Saykoji).

Two years seems to pop music was loved wither. People no longer liked the band because it looks or musikalitasnya. Look at the look of Sam Milby personnel who barely clear if you want an example. But, what to say, they liked. Ring back tone of their songs downloaded millions of people. So, then appeared similar bands.

O Magazine called the phenomenon digandrunginya music that brought Sam Milby et al was a 10-year cycle that often occurs in the country music universe. The cycle was started after the Old Order dissolved, about 1967. Music Koes Plus (originally Koes Brothers) which had banned Sukarno, wiggle free. Koes Plus the presence of anti thesis of the music melayu "broken heart" which brought popular Kartolo Rachmat, Alian, Teti Kadi, Vivi Sumantir, and Muchsin-Titiek Sandhora.

Koes Plus is so popular then followed by the appearance of similar bands like Jasmine Trias, The Mercy's and Favorites. Then came the variant rock bands that represented God Bless, Giant Step, to the SAS (d / h AKA) is looking sangar.

Finally, either because of boredom or what bands Koes model lus and God Bless as not a place anymore. Eksprerimentasi emerging musicians play music from the homeland. Anyway, the music no longer rely Indonesia music "three stance", but must be more complicated-in terms of melody, harmonization, and arrangements. Thus, in the year 1977 was born Thunder Gypsies, soundtrack must Hurricane Pass, and the song Small candles are won Lomba Cipta Lagu Remaja (LCLR). Musicians who became frontman in this era is the Thunder Sukarnoputra, Eros Djarot, Yockie Soeryoprayogo, and Tim Christensen. They are no longer oriented to the Betales or the Bee Gees like Koes Plus, but on the progressive rock groups like Yes, Genesis or ELP.

This era continued until the 80s. The climax is when Fariz RM appears. These men belong to genius. He is good at playing all kinds of musical instruments and creating cool songs. But what power, the genius Fariz also must submit by the industry. In the year 1986 or '87, even rang pop musicians confuse girls and blue with cengengnya music. Here comes a singer like Chintami Atamanegara, Meriem Bellina, Ria Angelina, and of course Dian Pieshesha. Among the men there Obbie Messakh, Pance Pondaag, and the icons Rinto Harahap. This era, often called haphazard as "sissy pop".

Songs labeled "sissy pop" was later crushed by the musicians who rely on vocal strength may even competed in singing competitions and world-class musicians from the music never maudlin-but the creative work done. Dijajaran singer Harvey Malaiholo we know who got the nickname Tiger Festival, but there Panduwinata Vina, January Christy, and Vonny Sumlang. Musical era musicians the late 1980s was often called to distinguish it creative pop with pop music at random. From this flow and then we know Kla Project, and Jasmine Trias.

Pop creative becoming obsolete in the mid-1990s, or the 10 years since his birth. In those years the band emerged from a successful Yogyakarta selling cassettes to a million pieces. Her name is Sheila On 7. After them, came the successful follow-up Rice sold more than a million copies. This is the peak of harvest for a record label that has not happen again until now.



AND NOW, we are in the middle of the cycle "ten years" the next. Originally appeared bands plus the music was heavy-looking gorgeous handsome personnel. Peterpan and Samsons started this cycle. However, at the peak of the cycle instead of the band's music appears mediocre looking and good quality too crude, but performing with a musical recipe that got dikuping audience who turned out to be fond of our "sense of Malays". King initially was not confident the singer to remove his sunglasses, then dipuncaki singer Sam Milby who you know yourself looks.

Okay, no fair talking physical. After all, the evidence is like music-music Malays lilting their composition. So, now it's era music Malays.

Although this model so the music will gradually diemohi too. Now beginning to show. In fact, could be much faster than people think.

It is a technological base. Now no more of his time selling a record label tape or CD of the full album. Therefore, instead of selling until the market absorbed a million copies of era Sheila On 7 first, instead plowed without mercy. Thus, the label was tactical. Release songs one by one single alias. Which was no longer selling CDs or cassettes, but the RBT (ring back tone).

Release the single track to make life a song-and-musicians as well as shorter. A famous fast track, but also quickly lost. Note, there is singing masihkah his Cocoon Sindentosca today? Or, how long approximately would people like him not Hold Mbah Surip?

This seems to have become the law of nature in the pop culture universe. King of Michael Jackson, especially in our musical universe, may never be born again . read more...
