American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 8 Don't Stop the Music

"In the 1970s, disco was very popular in the United States, house was born in Chicago, and techno was born in Detroit. White people liked it, black people liked it more, except for one kind of people, that is, rock fans."

"They deliberately equated disco with black homosexuals and started a disco boycott. In the late 98s, the Chicago White Sox of the MLB (Major League Baseball) held a promotion where people could enjoy a -cent discount on tickets by turning in disco records. During the intermission, Chicago radio talk show host Steve Dahl would detonate all the disco records turned in in the venue."

"The White Sox had originally expected 20,000 people to attend the event. In fact, 50,000 people showed up before the game started. Thousands more people climbed over the railings and rushed in after the game started. Records were thrown from the stands like raindrops. When the explosion sounded, thousands of people rushed into the stadium. The White Sox had to cancel the game directly."

"From then on, disco became taboo. You know, the social atmosphere at that time was still relatively conservative. Magazines, TV stations, and newspapers would not take the initiative to cover sensitive content. Radio stations also refused to play disco. Overnight, disco disappeared from the United States and became a niche hobby of a small group of people."

"Those rock fans back then probably couldn't have imagined that the demise of disco didn't allow rock to continue to dominate the mainstream, but instead gave hip-hop music a chance to develop. This is what they deserved." Joel is still indignant about the past.

"Fortunately, disco music began to develop in Europe, especially in the UK. The concepts of nightclubs and raves were all promoted by the British. The House of Commons later passed the Public Order Act, which stipulates that "playing repetitive music to more than 20 people outdoors is considered an act of disturbing public order." Violators will be fined and detained..."

“Maybe we can wait until the day when electronic music is revived in the United States!” Joel couldn’t help but say when talking about excitement.

Ryan looked at the young girl who was shaking her head wildly not far away. Just now, Ryan saw her swallow a few small pills commonly known as Molly.

It was already past twelve o'clock and the lights were getting dimmer. Ryan frowned and called the guard in the nightclub, pointing to a man who was using a fancy-packaged "popcorn" gas can not far away. The guard immediately stopped him.

Tennessee is a red state, and it is quite strict in this regard. At least you can't do this in public. But it's different in the box. It's a bit like trying to cover up the truth.

Joel put the empty cup on the table: "The last hour of the performance is the highlight."

He asked Ryan to take out the USB flash drive, which contained the completed "Termor". In the past three hours, Ryan had listened to a lot of popular electronic music, and now he could clearly feel the difference between Termor and these songs. Termor had a simple, even crude structure, with more prominent bass drums. Moreover, the current Termor still sounded a little worse than the version in Ryan's mind, which made Ryan worry whether the "audience" on the scene could accept it.

He and Joel came to the DJ stand again. As the prelude began to play, Ryan saw several men and women on the dance floor subconsciously looking towards the DJ stand.

In the interlude, the timbres began to increase, and the crowd gradually adapted from being confused. In the progressive part, as the riser effect began to take effect, the accumulation of emotions could be clearly felt...

3.2.1.go!

In an instant, the main timbre plus all the parts played together, the sound effect was the most abundant, and the accumulated energy gushed out like a floodgate! The huge amount of reverberation combined with the maximum volume, the eardrums of the audience began to be bombarded, supplemented by a simple brainwashing melody, which was enough to shock people!
Joel next to Ryan started screaming, and just when Ryan thought that other people on the dance floor would have a similar reaction, he found that everyone was frozen in place, motionless.

Until the next second, everyone woke up from their dream. At that moment, everyone in the nightclub felt that they were standing at the pinnacle of life, as if they owned the whole world.

Then it enters the sage time after release. The second interlude removes all the heavy drum beats and returns to the most original melody, but it foreshadows the coming of a new storm.

After two climaxes, the music entered the outro and Joel began to connect with another electronic music.

A few seconds later, the middle-aged man who was originally sitting in the booth stood up directly. He had a cigarette in his mouth and a bottle of wine in his hand. He staggered out two green bills and threw them over.

The middle-aged man yelled and asked to play the song again. The manager came over quickly, picked up the banknotes that fell on the ground and put them in his pocket, then stood up and motioned for Joel to do the same.

Over the next hour, the song "Termor" was played over and over again for more than ten times. Ryan carefully observed the reactions of the crowd, regardless of gender, age or youth. Everyone seemed to be cast under some kind of "fanatical magic". Their expressions became crazy, and they no longer even paid attention to the reactions of the opposite sex around them.

Ryan speculated that this was the result of the combined effects of drugs and throbbing electronic music.

"Live up the atmosphere, jump up, kid, don't stand there like a log." Joel, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but remind him.

Joel had already let go completely, waving his arms and shouting, shaking his head, and his forehead and neck were covered with fine beads of sweat.

Ryan seemed a little shy, standing there stiffly. He felt that he must not have gone clubbing often in his previous life.

·
At two o'clock in the morning, the nightclub began to clear out, and the men and women who had found their new love left together. Joel and Ryan sat on the sofa, on one side of Joel was the nightclub manager in a suit and tie, and on the other side was the promoter who had control over the beauty resources.

"Joel, where did you find that music? Compared to tonight's music, your so-called 'original songs' are as bad as shit!" The manager's eyes lit up, "Look at the state of those customers just now, they're all crazy! The bartender said that the sales in the last hour were three times more than usual!"

Joel shook his head and didn't take credit for it. He pointed at Ryan beside him and said, "That song was the inspiration of this kid!"

The manager and the promoter then looked seriously at Ryan who was sitting opposite them. There were two girls sitting next to Ryan at this moment. Both of them belonged to the "atmosphere group". They had noticed him when Ryan was still on the DJ stage just now.

"I thought he was your cousin or something. Come over tonight to broaden your horizons." said the manager. He then called Ryan over, took out two bills from his jacket pocket and handed them to Ryan.

"Here's your extra pay for tonight," said the manager.

Ryan looked at the two green bills in his hand, and while sighing that it was quite smooth to make the first pot of gold through music, he took out one and gave it to Joel beside him.

"Take it. I have a fixed salary here." Joel didn't take it.

The promoter then took out a portable camera and took a group photo of the group.

"Young man, what's the name of this song?" asked the promoter with tattoos under his eyes. He then pointed to the Myspace page on the laptop screen in front of him. It turned out that he had just recorded the live scene and uploaded the video to the social networking site. At this time, several people had left messages under the video, asking about the name of the song.

Seeing this scene, Ryan couldn't help but think of what Joel once said about promoting music on the Internet.

The times are advancing, technology is developing, and by seizing the channels of social networks, you may be able to quickly expose yourself...

Just as he was thinking about it, the atmosphere group member who was sitting next to him, wearing a slim long skirt, came over.
