Happening

A happening is a performance, event or situation meant to be considered art, usually as performance art. Happenings take place anywhere, and are often multi-disciplinary, with a nonlinear narrative and the active participation of the audience. Key elements of happenings are planned, but artists sometimes retain room for improvisation. This new media art aspect to happenings eliminates the boundary between the artwork and its viewer. Henceforth, the interactions between the audience and the artwork makes the audience, in a sense, part of the art.

In the later sixties, perhaps due to the depiction in films of hippie culture, the term was used much less specifically to mean any gathering of interest, from a pool hall meetup or a jamming of a few young people to a beer blast or fancy formal party.

Allan Kaprow first coined the term "happening" in the spring of 1957 at an art picnic at George Segal's farm to describe the art pieces that were going on^{[citation needed]}. The first appearance in print was in Kaprow's famous "Legacy of Jackson Pollock" essay that was published in 1958 but primarily written in 1956. "Happening" also appeared in print in one issue of the Rutgers University undergraduate literary magazine, Anthologist. The form was imitated and the term was adopted by artists across the U.S., Germany, and Japan. Jack Kerouac referred to Kaprow as "The Happenings man", and an ad showing a woman floating in outer space declared, "I dreamt I was in a happening in my Maidenform brassiere".

Happening

[Hook: VV Brown]
It's your choice, what are you waiting for?
Cause this is happening
Yeah, this is happening
[Verse 1: Chiddy]
Welcome to the life, maybe I'm good at living
Or maybe I could assist you at making good decisions

I would make the choice to put you on, if you say so
But you a star and I'm leavin' in a minute
Your body your language that I be readin' in a minute
And my money like Even like Steven when I'm in it
And we on our last drink, we'll be leaving when we
finished
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Chiddy]
Welcome to the life, doesn't it have a ring?
Head to the wedding unless a bad bitch gathering
Cause the single girls all play the game, try and go
She came with her girlies and you know they tryin' to

And my Cali girls always having kickback time
And you know that we gon' break 'em off, Kit-Kat time
