The digital scavenger hunt was a discussion about the first references to different genres of music, and any connotations behind it. For example, the first refences of hip-hop go back to the late 70’s where there are reports of it being first introduced in New York City. Music was typically associated with expression of your feelings or thoughts, and hip-hop was a genre where blacks were able to express themselves in a new form. The genre brought a new culture to the music industry by adding sound from DJ’s, turntables, and rapping styles. It took a while for the genre to become mainstream, but now hip-hop has turned into the most popular genre in America.

Another topic within the digital scavenger hunt is the idea of sound and how to manage it. There was the idea of reverberating and how the ceiling and floor regulate the sound. Different rooms have different sound waves due to the distance  between the two, and also the material that either the floor or ceiling were made out of. This sound impacts the way that instruments are played an placed during performances.
