chanson and yé-yé

Chanson! Yéyé! two slighhhhty different things here but we're combining for fun. Both french genres, both coming from the general 60s 70s era. both are something which featured a bit on eurovision at some point. Also both just very french!
when i say chanson i mean chanson engagée which is a sub-genre of traditional french music which speaks to a political-esque kind of writing. because chanson means a lot. there's a lot in there. technically when i say chanson the thread of the meaning pulls all the way down to medieval epic poems with monophonic melodiesm not what i want to talk about right here right now. chanson engagee is a spin-off of chanson realiste which was performed in cabarets (think edith piaf)
yé-yé ("yay-yay") is a lightly disco-y rock and roll genre, with women singers. of course beatles-inspired, the name actually taking from the "yeah! yeah!" which featured on the chorus of english songs.... like... the beatles. the genre/movement has a specific origin spot, the radio program Salut Les Copains, which had a section le chouchou de la semaine (sweetheart of the week (literally little cabbage of the week)). yé-yé singers were young, but brought in women's lib and sexual culture to the songs, flaunting traditional norms. its also that like mod 60s look.
and here begets the comparison. its interesting to see the more explicitly political chanson but at the s,ae tie in content reiterates more of the same much of the time (white guy out on the town, sees the pain of modern life. damn thats crazy). whereas the sweet pop-y yeye actually tackles the societal issues of the women of its time with its existence.
