Songs

I found six songs that fit into five different categories on Santiago's website:

The first one being  "Don't You Want Me Baby" The Human League. I think this song fits into the category of House music because there is a bunch of technological sounds like house music has. There are synthesizers and beep sounds and its kind of DJ-ish.

My friend showed me the group CocoRosie a while ago. I think they fit into the industrial/goth category because they are kind of experimental and well as strange. They use children's toys and different sound settings and instruments to make a unique sound. The pair also utilizes their one-of-a-kind voices.

Believe it or not, there are a whole bunch of popular vocaloids in asian pop culture. Besides Hastune Miku, a girl named Meiko is also a fan favorite. She has a bunch of weird songs just like Hatsune Miku, but she seems a little more mature than her. She fits under the virtual category.

Electric Light Orchestra is a band I really like. All of their songs are pretty good. They like to use synthesizers and other technology to create catchy songs. I think they fit into the new wave category because their sound has technological alterations, but not too many.

I found two songs that fit into the post-modern crisis category. They are both kind of modern, but sound a lot alike. The original being Modest Mouse's "Float On" and the new copy being Lupe Fiasco's "The Show Goes On." Even though the two have different lyrics and meaning, they are too similar. Lupe Fiasco's is basically a much faster version with different lyrics. His fits into the post-modern crisis category because he made this song because he could not come up with anything new. I personally like Modest Mouse's version WAY better.
