Synthesism

Consider this: jes’ grew reached epidemic proportions at the following historical junctures - the emergence of ragtime in the late 1890’s, the propagation of jazz in the 1920’s, the mixing of the formerly antagonistic forms of rock and R & B in the 1960’s, and the punk/hardcore/new wave battles of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, along with the simultaneous emergence of hip-hop. Jes’ grew is always accompanied by music necessary to spread its message, each new era necessitating a new harmonic form. And these musical forms always take shape in hated and oppressed subcultures which suddenly gain mass exposure, usually being branded as corrupting influences on impressionable youths.
