How did the recording industry impact (remember to compare to what came before): -access to music (you may wish to consider social class here)
– how popular music was marketed -how genres, styles, and people were separated – how was this different from reality? -“song collecting,” eg. the work of people like Alan Lomax and Ralph Peer – was this a thing before recording technology? – this is a bit niche, but an interesting area if you are interested. -perceptions of how a song “should” sound (vs. anyone putting their own spin on things) -…anything else you find in your research that is interesting or notable! You should aim to cover at least three of the points above in your post. You do not need to cover them all!
