One note: "tin pan" is actually an archaic slang term used to describe an old, broken down piano. The name "Tin Pan Alley" was coined by the cacophony all of the "tin pans" made when they were being played at the same time in such close proximity.
The Tin Pan Alley, Denmark Street, London, began far earlier than the New York one. It's the New York one copying the London one, and not the other way around. The London Tin Pan Alley began already in the 1920s.

I'm a bit let down by the lack of aural examples. Tin Pan Alley was largely influential in terms of pop music and its evolution. To simply look at its lobbying influence ignores its influence on jazz and its ability to crank out songs that would later become standards of jazz where artists would cut their teeth improvising over catchy melodies. To look at it simply from a bureaucratic aspect is to ignore a large cut of pop music.
In my opinion, the prime focus of the establishment was not so much based around producing music of an experimental or innovative nature. Artistic expression doesn't seem to have been the focus of this music, and I think for a lot of these artists, it was more about just writing catchy songs they could profit from financially, because of course they had the expectations of their bosses to live up to. Most of the songs that came out of Tin Pan Alley only lasted for about 2 - 3 minutes.
No doubt, that money-making attitude still existed in the 60's and 70's, and is even more prominent in the music industry today, but by the time Dylan and Hendrix were making records, the attitude towards writing music had completely changed. But that's just my view; there's no doubt that the music from Tin Pan Alley influenced a lot of what came after it.
Well Jazz came from ragtime
@@ernestoescobar1967 Jazz standards songs are mainly Tin Pan Alley popular songs or broadway show tunes just played in Jazz/Blues style back in the first half of the 20th century. News to me too a few months back. I've always thought traditional pop came from Jazz but it actually came from broadway and vaudeville. Obviously jazz has an impact to its evolution but same could be said the other way around
Yeah the appreciation for Tin Pan Alley is left to us who love classic pop/traditional pop and jazz standards

Great video.. keep on going.
are you going to make a Music School video on Hardcore?
it's likely :)
Do you have any examples of what would be considered some popular tin pan alley songs or groups?
I guess he didn't have any examples it he just didn't want to answer you. Too bad.
your video can't play.
It's funny how a derogatory comment can turn into a badge of honour.
Yep, show me the $$$$
Great information, but too fast.
