HD is the largest digital format. This standard is still being developed (with choices like 720P and 1080I most common), and is rapidly gaining popularity, the optical disc delivery system Blu-ray Disc and the video tape format D-VHS.
High definition first came around in the early 1980’s, as Japan developed a TV that would operate at 30 frames per second (FPS).
Japan then showed this marvellous invention at an international meeting of television engineers in Algiers in 1981 and japans NHK(or Japan Broadcasting Corporation, is Japan's public broadcaster. The NHK is financed by a Television licence) presented its analog HDTV system at Swiss conference in 1983.
HD is also used in films not just TV, such film directors who have used HD to a large degree thus far are: George Lucas, Michael Mann, Steven Soderbergh, and Robert Rodriguez, and there are program that have used it too Star Trek: Enterprise, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica have also begun to use digital cameras.
And even now days the gamin industry wants a piece of this the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 both use HD gaming and this make a hell of a difference from playing it on a normal TV.HD is amazing you get such a clear quality.
In a lot of music video there are aspect of HD used as well, take pantera “5 minuets alone” the very very into there is a light bulb bin smashed but it has bin rewound and im not a hundred present sure but I think the sound is rewound as well,because its sound it and also quite strange ,the song it self is about:
“There was a guy in the front row in San Diego who was heckling Phil (Anselmo, [vocalist]). Phil finally had enough, so he incited the crowd to jump this guy's ass and beat the shit out of him on the spot, so he sued us. And when his dad called our manager, his exact quote was, "You just give me five minutes alone with that Phil Anselmo guy and I'll show him who's big daddy around here." Phil's response was, "You just give me five minutes with that cat's dad and I'll whoop his ass." That's where that song came from”

now a little on Pushead,one of my favourite artist and has done a lot of work for big bands shush as Metallica, Misfits and septic death doing album covers to sculptures, and he has even brought out a sires of toys, shush as a robot car and the cococrock with is a doll. Pushead is a very unique artist and has a very distanced style from the other artiest, not only does he have a grate amount of detail he has a way of getting to the point, to make it stand out, if you take metallica poster of the flaming skull when u look at it you think ”thetas metal”, now metallica bin one of the best thrash metal bands they have to be metal this is going back to the subculture, bin metal or something bin “metal” means that it is more powerful and brutal than any thing on the face of the earth and “cool”, but again this only applies to a certain culture, but with in that culture it is a well know term.
Even if you look at video games today you can see that that in its own self has there own subculture as well if u take for example world of war craft, its all about joining the game good/evil and you manek friends but only with the same people (good/evil),and because its an online game your playing with other in another world, on the net! Witch also can be used literality, you find your self in another world. Also earache records a death/grind core metal record label has just brought out a racing game, know earache are not very big and probity not many people have heard of it.
If you take a look at machine head music video for davidan all the images and footage are all very fast with a lot of lighting effects witch gives connotations of it bin brutal and savage, but its in time with the music, and with the urban back grounds and walking through the streets, gives more of an Ephesus to them bin as subculture band towards teenagers, some thing that they can relate to.
I suppose there is a subculture with in filming and photography, as some ppl prefer to use older SLR’s that you have to develop your SLR(slefsingle-lens reflex) camera uses an automatic moving mirror system which permits the photographer to see exactly what will be captured by the film or digital imaging system, as opposed to non-SLR cameras where the view through the viewfinder could be significantly different from what was captured on film. Weather it is for nostalgia reason or you just prefer to use a film, digital no-slr or an slr camera they are a subculture because people perfrer different type and use them instead of other just like music but this is a more neat and smaller group of people.
But I think that the biggest type of subculture ha to be with in music because it has more than just music in it it also has conation of life style, clothing and the way you live and all because of music for example take the original skinhead movement of the late-1960s was a multicultural synthesis organized around fashion and music. The first skinheads were offshoots of the British "mod" subculture of the early 1960s.
certain mods began to emphasize the more proletarian aspects of the look, cutting their hair shorter and replacing dandified suits and expensive shoes with jeans and heavy boots. These no-frills "hard mods" prefigured the arrival of the first skinheads. he decline of the original skinhead subculture by the early 1970s, and its rebirth later in the decade under the influence of punk rock, opened the way for new influences. Not only did new musical genres rise around which skinhead identity could coalesce--above all so-called "street punk," or "Oi!"

i found this book and thought I was perfect for me and to explain more of what I am doing and explain more of my view on it and to try and make other understand the difference of the music and how IT IS NOT JUST NOISE!!!!!
In the 1980 heavy music moved into the mainstream, heavy metal mixed with hardcore punk to crate a thrash metal movement that featured bands shuch as metallica,slayer,anthrax and megadeth
In many ways thrash metal gave birth to death metal with all the other band trying to out do one another with faster riffs and technicality and over all extremity.
The lyrical side of it was more primitive but referred to general metal topics/connotation of death, destruction and evil. One of the 1st black metal band labled them self’s venom from England also label there music as fast, abrasive music(black metal) Black metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal. It is typically abrasive and usually makes use of fast tempos, high-pitched electric guitars often played with tremolo picking, high-pitched shrieking vocals, and unconventional song structures. It is prone to experimentation and certain elements typical to black metal are not always used by every band within the subgenre.
The first bands to pioneer the style were mostly thrash metal bands that formed the prototype for black metal in the early 1980s; they are referred to collectively as the First Wave, and consist of a few bands, such as Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer and Celtic Frost.[1] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a Second Wave emerged, primarily of Norwegian bands like Burzum, Mayhem, Darkthrone and Emperor. Although there is no well-defined Third Wave, modern black metal bands have incorporated new musical and lyrical trends into their music.
Hers a bit about blackened death metal Blackened death metal is a subgenre of death metal fused with the more fluid and melodic elements of black metal. These bands also tend to adopt some of the thematic characteristics of that genre as well; evil, Satanism, and occultism are all common topics and images. Early influences for blackened death metal included death metal bands such as Deicide, Acheron, and Immolation as well as black metal bands like Mayhem. Some good examples of the blackened death metal style would be God Dethroned (Early), Behemoth, Akercocke, Belphegor, Angelcorpse, Zyklon, and Sacramentum. Also myrkskog Usually their music consists of thunderous high speed doublebass with remarkably rapid blastbeats and fills. Guitars are made up of harmonic tremolo picking and sometimes powerchords with fast solos composed by Destructhor who, along with Secthdamon, currently plays in Zyklon. Their debut album Deathmachine is a hybrid blackened death metal album combining attributes of both genres, their second album Superior Massacre is much more death metal oriented with much more prominent basslines and less tremolo picked riffs. Myrkskog have been largely dormant since the release of Superior Massacre but make occasional live appearances, the most recent of which was at the 2006 edition of the Inferno Festival. The name 'Myrkskog' is apparently a translation of the Norwegian for 'Mirkwood'.
