Melodien für Millionen
Das Jahrhundert des Schlagers
For the last 100 years, pop songs have been enjoyed by millions of people. Whether loved or ridiculed, these songs reflect changes in society and in mentality; they react to political and social movements. These commercial mass-produced items are closely linked to modern industrial society, and to its social and technological changes.
Furthermore, the themes of pop songs have meaning for millions of old and young; every generation has experiences connected to them, have loved or hated them. Pop songs are powerfully linked to people’s emotions.
The book presents these emotions as well as the background to this phenomenon.
