What does /mu/ make of this chart drawn on a blackboard by Jack Black's character Dewey Finn in the seminal 2003 comedy School of Rock?
>>63683856
Why is there all those different words for the same twing-twang?
Does rockabilly really predate Brit Invasion and pop rock?
Was he a patrician? Or just a rockist?
>>63683856
>Rap and Hip-hop under different category
>Jazz completely ignored
>Can under the same category as Zappa and Beefheart
But the fact that he is teaching Minutemen to those kids is pretty awesome.
>>63683971
Well, he was kinda teaching Rock instead of Jazz...
But yeah, Can should not be with those dudes. Unless the "?" (which is stupid anyway) were replaced with Experimental Rock or Avant-Garde Rock.
What perplexes me most is the direct arrow from Folk Rock to New Wave.
>>63683946
Definitely showing some bias, though. Then again, he's teaching rock music, and the names mentioned there are more than enough to learn rock.
My only complain is there's no mention of krautrock (except Can) or fusion jazz. Miles Davis deserves a mention, at least.
>>63684019
Haha that's true. How about the direct arrow from Heavy Metal to Grunge? Wasn't Grunge 'created' as a reaction against Metal? I would also say that grunge is more related to the 80's punk than it is to heavy metal. Also, no mention of Pixies anywhere in the board is bullshit.

>Rap and HipHop are offshoots of Disco
Is this true?
>>63684197
To a small extent, but IMO it's almost an oversimplification. Funk, jazz, and 70's RnB are sampled in Hip-hop as much as disco is.
>tfw David Bowie is dead
>>63684197
Wasn't that one Blondie song one of the first songs to ever feature rapping?
pretty decent. some weird classifications- not sure why velvets are under psych or why siouxsie and the banshees are under the first wave of punk for example, and not all of these genres link into one another in the way that they're written out here. like, the line from r&b to funk shoudn't have doo wop in the middle, heavy metal and hard rock should link to one another directly as should punk and new wave, etc, but it's a sound enough chart i think.
>>63684124
i mean, grunge is pretty overtly metal influenced. the stuff about it being a 'reaction' is mostly retrospective silliness from journalists and critics.
>>63684258
"Rapture" was the first song to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with rapped vocals.
