Frequency<\/strong> is an experimental media project that uses popular music<\/strong> as a lens to explore how categorization, technology, and language both reflect and shape our understanding of culture, identity, and emotion over time.
It blends cultural research<\/strong>, AI-driven text analysis<\/strong>, and interactive storytelling<\/strong> to help users see how music both reflects and influences how we frame the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We analyze lyrics from the Top 10 songs of each decade (1870s\u20132020s)<\/strong> \u2014 not just to track musical trends, but to examine how themes like love<\/strong>, place<\/strong>, emotion<\/strong>, and self-expression<\/strong> evolve, and how those changes mirror deeper societal shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of Frequency is a core question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
