Over time, music genres
have grown in and lost
popularity depending on
social norms and trends.
Punk started a very
controversial movement in
the 70s, with an entire style
of clothing developing from
their outfits. Vivienne
Westwood created and still
creates very odd looks and
lots of punk fashion.
Pop is an amalgamation of
many genres, and simply
means popular music. For
example, Slipknot’s most
recent album overtook Ed
Sheeran on the album
charts and would be
considered “popular”.
This festival has many positive ethical
impacts. Many people who have experienced
mental health issues or low self-esteem go to
this festival. The bands that play tend to be
of rock, indie, and alternative genres and
they provide help and support for the public
throughout, with stands for people to get
tattoos covering any scars they may have.

Many rock and metal musicians are no stranger
to scandal and controversy. For example,
Marilyn Manson takes his band’s name from
both the iconic Marilyn Monroe and the
psychotic Charles Manson. He also once set his
drummer on fire during a show and many
Christian people call his music Satanic, despite
his Catholic upbringing. Some people also went
so far as to say that his band’s music had caused
the Columbine massacre.
Some new emerging artists
are still channelling punk
influences in their indie or
rock music, with some
discrediting the government
and sending out very
anarchistic messages that
many audiences can relate to
Most record labels will
have a preferred genre of
artist that they will sign.
Labels such as Sumerian,
Roadrunner, and Epitaph
will tend to sign rock,
deathcore and alternative
bands whereas Virgin
Records will tend to sign
more light-hearted pop
styled artists.
