With the rise of the internet, music started to be distributed digitally in the form of (both legitimate and illegitimate) downloads. Napster was one of the first file-sharing platforms, users would extract music from compact discs and upload them allowing others to download the music for free. The digital format gained even more momentum with the release of the iPod and iTunes in 2001. Eventually, due to their convenience, digital formats became predominant and in 2008, music streaming site Spotify was launched, offering access to unlimited music in return for a monthly subscription fee. Digital subscription platforms (DSPs), such as Spotify, are how the vast majority of us consume music today, in fact, in 2021, Spotify reported over three hundred million active users worldwide. Although, due to the current revenue structure, many artists are asking fans to support them by buying physical copies or digital downloads of their music.

Dr. Steve Williams, associate professor of sociology, gives us an abridged history of rock 'n' roll and its association with social climates and social movements. The following, in his own words, covers the decades of the 1950s - 1960s. In part II we'll talk about the 1970s - 1990s.
There's been this association that music, whether it's jazz or rock 'n' roll, it has an element of danger, and a little bit of coolness that's associated with that danger, which has created moral panics.
For a while there were about 10-year cycles of moral panics. The first one was the mid to late 50s when rock 'n' roll was first sort of invented. Rock 'n' roll is not just an American invitation, but it's an African American invention. If you look at basic rock 'n' roll, the fundamental formula is basically African American blues with a little more speed and electricity. Then you add bass and drums, and suddenly you've got something new. It was originally done by black musicians, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc. It very quickly got co-opted by white musicians as well, and it became, and pretty much has been ever since, a white phenomenon - rock 'n' roll.
One of the moral panics associated with the first wave of rock 'n' roll was the fear of race mixing - that young black and white kids would get together over this music that had a rhythmic, primitive, sensuous beat. Suburban moms and dads are freaked out about their daughters hanging out with young black men listening to sexualized music. There's a long ugly history in America over the fear of race mixing and of lynching black men because of their perceived desire for white women. To have young, teenage white girls in America screaming to someone like Little Richard as he's singing "Good Golly Miss Molly, you sure like to ball. When you're rocking and rolling, can't hear your mama call." That was brand new in the American experience and it freaked a lot of people out. It was a moral panic about sexuality and race mixing.
Rock 'n' roll sort of calmed down at the end of the 50s. A lot of things happened sort of simultaneously. There was a terrible plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. Elvis Presley went into the military for a while and wasn't making music. When he did come back, he was a little bit out of step and wasn't quite the same. Jerry Lee Lewis got in trouble for marrying his 13-year old cousin and was ostracized. His record company and radio stations weren't supporting his music any more. In 1959 or 1960, it seemed like rock 'n' roll almost disappeared. Mothers and fathers could breathe a sigh of relief as their kids listened to Brenda Lee and Neil Sedaka - "safe" white teen idols with glowing white teeth.
By the mid-60s, things started percolating, young people started to listen to folk music a bit more, people like Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez and later, Bob Dylan. Folk brought in greater lyrical content to rock 'n' roll. So now, instead of a basic two-minute love song, you could have songs about just about anything.
You had the British invasion in 1964. Young British kids were listening to American rock 'n' roll and R&B and are forming their own bands. In the 60s, you had all these amazing new British bands: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who, etc. Now there's the idea of the self-contained band. Instead of having songs written for them, and using studio musicians, now they were writing their own lyrics and music. They played all their own instruments and toured as a group, which meant they controlled what they're expressing. Combine that with folk music expanding lyrical content and suddenly you have a whole new set of fears. Things were being expressed in ways they weren't before. Now, not only was there suggested sexuality of rock 'n' roll, there's an actual free love movement.
There was more talk of actual drugs, so instead of the suggestion that someone might be on pills or smoking pot, now they are very overtly making psychedelic music. The Beatles were admitting in interviews that they did LSD. A Harvard psychology professor, Timothy Leary told people to "tune in, turn on and drop out." You had Jefferson Airplane in 1967 singing about "feeding your head" and smoking caterpillars. Suddenly the drugs and sexuality were overt.
Music started to connect to other social movements, like the civil rights movement. This was also a time of the second wave of the women's movement, and you had music connecting to those ideas. You had music connecting to the general hippie counterculture - free love and rejecting materialism and adult "square" society.
It's always the students. When you look at social movements around the world, so many of them are led by university students. Students were given a sense of community by the music they thought was their music. Fifties music was their music but 60s music was even more so. They knew it was being made by the musicians, themselves, who weren't much older than them. Expressing ideas for the first time that had never been expressed in music before.

Prior to the arrival of the transistor in the mid- to late-1950s, a radio was called a wireless and would sit on the kitchen sideboard, operated by electricity. With the introduction of the transistor, music was suddenly portable. With just a couple of AA batteries you could, at last, take the music with you.
The original Walkman introduced a real change in music listening habits by allowing people to carry music with them and listen through lightweight headphones. The Walkman also offered personalisation of recorded music for the first time, and having the ability to customise a playlist was an exciting revolution in music technology. With brilliant marketing, Sony created a personal music machine long before the iPod came along in 2001.
In fewer than 30 years the technology through which we listened to music had changed dramatically and, I would have thought, irreversibly. And yet today some young music devotees are choosing the old vinyl records over the latest digital technology, where all the latest songs are available for immediate download within hours of being released or for streaming instantaneously from Spotify on a mobile phone or other hand-held device.
Radiograms were generally made up of a turntable, a radio and a storage area for the vinyl. They were most popular in the post-war era of the mid-1950s and suddenly mushroomed in sales when singles and \u2018long playing\u2019 (LP) records replaced 78s. One of the big features was the \u2018auto-changer\u2019. Such technology! 0852c4b9a8
