Context - 1960s

You are currently looking at the music of the 1960s. To understand how and why that music came about, it is important for you to understand what came before and what was happening in society to affect and shape the development of music.

Please click on your allocated group to access your breakout meet. Keep your main meet tab open so I can call you back. I will pop into your group meets to see how you're doing. If you have any questions during the group activity, please post in the chat of the main meet.


In your groups, you need to research and discuss the developments in the 1960s relating to your topic. For example, what was youth culture like in the 60s and what was new? How did war affect society int he 60s? What major civil rights developments happened in the decade? What technological advances affected music and culture?

Try to keep your points relevant to music and post them to the jamboard as post it notes and links. Add your initials to any posts. You can scroll across the pages of the board to find the one for your group.

1990s

In the 1990s, we were still under a conservative government but that changed when Labour came into power in 1997. It was a decade that was subject to massive technological developments including mass use of the internet, music genres both emerging and reviving older styles and the class divide was still very much evident.

Research starter questions:


  • What was the gulf war about and what effect did it have?
  • How did rap music change in the Uk and USA?
  • How did BritPop reflect society?
  • What other genres were emerging and how were they similar to those of previous decades?

Some resources to start you off:
BRITPOP article
An article from 1991 predicting how the gulf war might impact on music
Gulf War
Rave Culture
The Struggle of Hip Hop in the 90s
How Rap Changed in the 90s
