The history of masks, and the history of music cross vaguely, many times. They have crossed through such things as religions, and rituals. But, masks coming to the fore front of music did not occur up until the last 50 years.
Masks are being seen in artists and bands more and more. They are worn ultimately, to promote the message being presented in the music the artists are performing. But also, the masks make a statemen
t. They are an icon of uniquness and style, changing what is potentially regular music, into a whole different way of listening.
Masks rise up in a variety of different genres. From the dance/pop tunes of Lady GaGa, to the badass white rappers in Hollywood Undead, to the guys in Slipknot who look like they are straight out of a horror film, masks are being shown off by many different forms of
musical talents.
Lady Gaga has commented on her style: "When I'm writing music, I'm thinking about the clothes I want to wear on stage. It's all about everything altogether—performance art, pop performance art, fashion. For me, it's everything coming together."
Masks in music takes place in The Lord of the Flies when the boys sing their chant.. "Kill The pig, spill its blood.." while there faces are masked with different colors of clay.
