Pop
As an American recording artist and entertainer, Brittany Spears Signed with Jive Records in 1997, kicking off the beginning of her outstanding pop career. Spears' first and second studio albums, "Baby One More Time" and "Oops!….I Did it again," became international successes, and made Spears have the best-selling albumen by a teenage solo artist. I have always found this interesting because her career has been long and successful. She was very popular and people idolized her when I was young, and many still do today. Those songs were just the starting point for her.
Links to her two most famous songs
"Zeds Dead" is a Canadian dub step duo from Toronto, Ontario. The band consists of Dylan Mamid, known as DC, and Zach Rapp-Rovan, known as hooks. DC and Hooks have been producing music together since 2004, formerly as "Mass Productions." The two recently held a concert at Hogans beach yesterday, April 27th which was a huge success.
Punk
"Minor threat" was a hardcore rock (punk) band that formed in 1980 in Washington D.C. Even though the band didn't last long and broke up not long after they came together, they had a large influence on the punk scene in the 1980s. In fact, their song "Straight Edge," became the basis of the Straight Edge movement, a subculture movement when people restrained from using alcohol and tobacco. I thought this was very interesting in that everyone always has stereotypes against punk rock bands, thinking they drink and do too many drugs.

"The Spice Girls" were a British pop girl group that formed together in 1994. The group consisted of five members, who each later adopted nicknames initially ascribed to them, based on their actions and appearance. Their many songs including "If you wanna be my lover," about how the man in the relationship needs to be friends with their friends before anything gets serious. This symbolized the saying feminists often say, "chicks before dicks."
