Clearing Up The Misconceptions About Emo

*monsterkookies:iconmonsterkookies: reports, April 29
I wanted to mention the misconceptions of Emo in an article I wrote, namely because there is so much emphasis on Emo in Art here on DA. Art based around Fashion, Music, and Subcultures. It is a heavily used term everywhere we go, and I think it's only fair that we all know what it really means, and what it doesn't.

Inspired by a song II: Photography

~darkqueenoir:icondarkqueenoir: reports, March 2
Many of us took the music as medium of inspiration and expression.
From a song written with personal feelings born a unique image created by the personal emotions .
And it is hour to show to them all what a photograph can speak by a song.

New Age Music: Good for Mind, Body, and Soul

=stormyblueyz:iconstormyblueyz: reports, October 31, 2007
Society is rampant with discussion, and debate, about the "New Age" era. In recent years, many have been consumed by, or have consumed, the elements of this current age of enlightenment. The elements seem to be everywhere: they line the bookshelves of almost every bookstore, as well as the racks of almost every CD shop, and New Age mantras and mottos decorate everything from tee shirts to bumper stickers. But a little known fact is that there has actually been research on the subject, and the focus of this research was centered around music.

What really constitutes the “New Age” genre? Wikipedia describes New Age music as, “a style of music originally associated with some New Age beliefs. It has its basis in the work of various 1960s European and American electronic and acoustic musicians, and is generally characterized as being primarily instrumental and repetitively melodic in nature. Recordings of naturally occurring sounds are sometimes used as an introduction to a track or throughout the piece.”

The theory is that New Age music is good music: good for mind, body, and soul. Researchers report that individuals who listen regularly to music of the New Age genre are healthier, happier individuals. Most attribute this to the relaxing and stress-relieving properties of this type of music.

While the term "New Age" tends to bring to mind spirituality or enlightenment, one is not required to be a very spiritual person, or even to subscribe to New Age or similar spiritual beliefs, to enjoy and benefit from listening to this calming genre of music. Anyone who loves to listen to music and finds themselves in need of a calming moment, source of rejuvenation, or a romantic fire starter can, and likely will, find themselves enjoying this genre.

Nice to see another Enigma fan :) have you heard of the likes of ERA, Jens Gad's Achillea and Le Spa Sonique projects, along with the likes of Blue Stone, Sleepthief, Lorenna McKennit and of course Delerium ? :D worth a check out if you get the time most have MySpace pages that you can sample some of their work :D

Brilliantly written. Thank you for this story. I have been trying to turn people on to it, all the while attempting to refrain from using the "New Age" moniker.

I featured a Prog Rock band from England on one of my radio shows recently, Ozric Tentacles, and while they are not in the genre themselves, they do have an offshoot project that is considered in this category, or more towards the "Space Music" category. They are Nodens Ictus.

I have an upcoming radio show planned to cover the New Age genre and have them listed as a featured band along with Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Mike Oldfield, Tim Story, Chris Franke, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Enigma, and many others.

Thanks again for taking the time to get out a good word. :blowkiss:

I agree wholeheartedly with Loxie. I try to keep from using the New Age term also. Great story!

:) I agree, at least partly, with refraining from using the term "New Age..." But, it's nearly impossible when that's the section, at least in most record stores, in which one would find the music.

Don't you just love labels? :giggle:

Thank you for your comment - I look forward to the radio show covering the genre. Loreena McKennit, Mike Oldfield, and Tim Story are definite favorites of mine that I didn't mention in the article. :clap:

Thanks for commenting!!!!!

:nod: I just love Loreena McKennit and Delerium. I've heard of ERA and Blue Stone, but haven't actually bought any of their stuff (at this point).

I'll be checking out MySpace to listen to more. Thanks for these suggestions!! :D And thanks for commenting!

:) Opera is a bit too much for me, as well...it's just so...boring to me. But then, I love classical music...so that really doesn't make sense, does it? LOL :heart: Thanks for commenting!
