New York Rock
New York Rock: From the Rise of The Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB | Steven Blush
1 post | 4 to read
As a city that represents endless possibilities, New York has been the setting for the dawning of new movements, styles, and genres. In the 20th century, the birth of Rock represented a connection between art forms and the city's socioeconomic, racial, and sexual variants. New York Rock breaks down the rock scene's half-century connection to New York and analyzes its distinct subculture through the prism of influences, crosscurrents, and psychoactive distractions. Over 1,500 musicians, clubs, and labels held roles in the making of New York Rock, and it's their contributions that created this iconic art form. A compilation of firsthand narratives about each genre of rock, from Punk New Wave and Glitter Rock to New York Hardcore and Indie rock, New York Rock is the ultimate illustrated account of Rock's role in New York City.

I needed a big change of pace after finishing The Wonder, so I picked this up. Very cool look at why NYC has always been such a magnet for artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers, and how they made and still make the scene.
