Editing Smiley (section)

===Music and film===
As music genres began to create their own cultures from the 1970s onwards, many cultures began to incorporate a smiling face into their culture. In the late 1970s, the [[United States|American]] band [[Dead Kennedys]] launched their first recording, "[[California über alles]]". The single cover was a collage aimed to look like that of a [[Nazi]] rally prior to [[World War II]]. It featured three of the vertical banners commonly used at such rallies, but with the usual [[swastika]]s replaced by large smileys.<ref>Johnson, Heather.

''[[Mix Online]]''. 1 October 2005.</ref> In the UK, the happy face has been associated with [[psychedelic culture]] since [[Ubi Dwyer]] and the [[Windsor Free Festival]] in the 1970s and the [[electronic dance music]] culture, particularly with [[acid house]], that emerged during the [[Second Summer of Love]] in the late 1980s. The association was cemented when the band [[Bomb the Bass]] used an extracted smiley from the comic book series ''[[Watchmen]]'' on the center of its "[[Beat Dis]]" hit single.

In addition to the movie adaptation of ''[[Watchmen]]'', the film ''[[Suicide Squad (2016 film)|Suicide Squad]]'' has the character [[Deadshot]] staring into the window of a clothing store. Behind a line of mannequins is a yellow smiley face pin, which had been closely associated to another DC comic character, [[Comedian (character)|Comedian]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Steinberg |first1=Nick |title=20 Hidden Details In 'Suicide Squad' You May Have Missed |date=10 August 2016 |url=https://www.goliath.com/movies/20-hidden-details-in-suicide-squad-you-may-have-missed/ |publisher=Goliath |access-date=9 April 2020 |archive-date=24 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200924103051/https://www.goliath.com/movies/20-hidden-details-in-suicide-squad-you-may-have-missed/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The 2001 film ''[[Evolution (2001 film)|Evolution]]'' has a three-eyed smiley for its logo. It was later carried onto the movie's spin-off cartoon, ''[[Alienators: Evolution Continues]]''.

In the film ''[[Forrest Gump]]'' it is implied the titular character inspired the smiley face design after wiping his face on a T-shirt while running coast to coast.

In the late-1980s, the smiley again became a prominent image within the [[music industry]]. It was adopted during the growth of [[acid house]] across [[Europe]] and the UK in the late 1980s. According to many, this began when DJ, [[Danny Rampling]], used the smiley to celebrate [[Paul Oakenfold]]'s birthday.<ref>{{cite web |title=The strange, tangled history of the acid house smiley |date=18 April 2018 |url=https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/history-of-the-acid-house-smiley |publisher=[[Red Bull]] |access-date=3 December 2019 |archive-date=3 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191203192535/https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/history-of-the-acid-house-smiley |url-status=live }}</ref> This sparked a movement where the smiley moved into various dance genres, becoming a symbol of 1980s dance music.<ref>{{cite web |title=Acid History: How The Smiley Became The Iconic Face Of Rave |url=https://www.electronicbeats.net/the-feed/untold-history-rave-smiley/ |work=ElectronicBeats magazine |date=5 January 2017 |access-date=3 December 2019 |archive-date=3 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191203192540/https://www.electronicbeats.net/the-feed/untold-history-rave-smiley/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2022, [[David Guetta]] collaborated with [[Felix Da Housecat]] and [[Miss Kittin|Kittin]] to release the song, ''Silver Screen'', a reimagined version of the 2001 [[dance (music genre)|dance]] track. Guetta's version celebrated positivity and happiness.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Crews |first1=Isaac |title=David Guetta Joins Smiley's Campaign Of Positivity With An Exclusive Video Release For Upbeat Anthem 'Silver Screen' |url=https://sounderground.net/david-guetta-joins-smileys-campaign-of-positivity-with-an-exclusive-video-release-for-upbeat-anthem-silver-screen |publisher=Sounderground |date=March 12, 2022 |access-date=30 May 2022 |archive-date=7 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240607183800/http://ww1.sounderground.net/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The music video features a cameo from street artist, [[André Saraiva]] and portrays different groups portraying the message ''"Take The Time To Smile."''
