Post Modern Media
Communists ans capitalist economies.
Smaill conflict areas
Vietnam War - ended 1975
Proliferation in media hardware - TV's now in colour, live broadcasting of the war, red was a vivid colour
Young black men drafteed in for the war, middle class white boys could go to college and avoid being drafted.
Consumer goods, e.g, music that contains different ideas
The Beatles wrote their own songs - young, their ideas were being broadcast to other young people. They took drugs and it changes thier perception of reality.
The Beatles - Revolution Number 9 - breaking forms of popular music, abstract
Woodstock Festival - 1969, first major rock festival, offering an alternative
Kent State Massacre 1970
Marshall McLuhan - 'the medium is the message'
Timothy Leary - 'turn on, tune in, drop out'
1970's crisis of identity
Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen - banned, was at No 1, but the BBC changed the charts so it hit No2
Interview with the Sex Pistols - swearing before watershed
Irony - a main feature of post-modernism
