“Please don’t put your life in the hands of a Rock plus Roll band” – Oasis
Music is everywhere. It’s the soundtrack of our lives. On a bus ride home, in the shower, whilst you’re studying- the connection between people plus music is something I’ve wondered for so long. How can a mixture of instruments plus vocals capture the complex tree branch of human emotions? Not to mention the complexity of music itself- the thousands of genres plus subgenres, disukai banyak orang bands to “underground” “niche” bands plus everything in between. There always seems to be a song out there that perfectly sums you up as a person.
However, when it comes to music genres, the popularity spread has not been completely abstract. I personally have gotten into many arguments over who gets aux on a five hour car ride. As easy as “sharing” sounds in these scenarios, the pain of listening to an overplayed Pop song for three minutes is undeniably frustrating.
But that’s what makes music as interesting plus beautiful as it is today- not everyone likes the same songs as you (and sometimes your aux privileges will get taken away). But, there’s a reason certain songs are popular. Ever wonder why the ultimately disukai banyak orang genre of “Rock” has become less preferred as decades move on? What makes Pop music addictive? Is Rock music dead? Welcome to the fast moving river called MAINSTREAM. It’s changing every momen plus reinventing itself to hit commercial success- all whilst staying trendy to the ears of our generation.
Historical debrief:
Beginning in the 1980’s (the decade ALL of our parents think is the “best”)
The 80’s goth movement popularised bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode, yet still had classic “Rock” bands such as The Smiths, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, plus Fleetwood Mac. In my opinion, the 80’s had such a wide range of music genres flooding record stores plus cassette players (old, I know). Pop plus rock stood hand in hand with each other, as both Madonna plus AC/DC (polar opposites) were considered the most influential artists within the same ten years. Behold, the most diverse plus culturally significant era of music- yet in my opinion, still not the best.
