Abstract:
My project is about music in the 1980’s and the genres that were popular at the time. In my presentation I mention the different ways music at the time impacted society. I mentioned a few of the most influential black artists from the 80's. I also explain some sub-topics that are related to music such as the beginning of MTV and fashion. With the creation of MTV and rising black artists, society was influenced by their fashion. In the 80’s, music was very important and powerful as it was the beginning of many different genres that have impacted music today.
