Final Paper Proposal

  My final paper will involve the evolution of electronic music. It will focus partially on the transition from analog electronic music to digital  music as well as the history and popularity of different genres of electronic music. The popularity of electronic music in the late 90's will be explored as well as it's link to the "party drug" scene of the time. This will be contrasted against the recent resurgence of electronic music in the form of "dubstep." The paper will argue that the popularity of electronic music is operating in a short cycle and attempt to predict what is in store for the medium.
