Nowadays, there a sense that everything moves on so quickly. Every decade that goes by technology and society always seem to change. Today, there is some sort of lack of appreciation how we could do stuff that we could not do pre technology. The 1990’s and our current decade is similar in some ways but is mostly different. From most of the people that I have spoken to, that lived in both side of the spectrum, say that it was a different world back then. We live in an age where music can be heard instantly from a phone or a computer. In the 90’s however, if you wanted to listen to a song, you would have to go to a music store and buy an album or wait for it to play on the radio. Today, we have applications like Spotify or Soundcloud where you could listen to a large variety of music whenever you want to. Today the radio seems like an option to listen to music if you want where as back then it was the only source of music. The music industry today has more songs and artist than back then. Today, someone can post a video of them singing online and instantly become famous. …show more content…

You can get also Netflix, which charges 8 dollars a month, and you can select a large categories of movies to watch from. Netflix also offers to shows to watch from without having to watch
CHAPTER NINE STUDY QUESTIONS – The Musical Theatre (Pgs. 243-259/247-261) 1. Describe some of the facts concerning the musical on Broadway (p. 244) (248). Broadway musicals can be characterized by aspects such as having multiple performances nearly every day of the week, having productions that tour the nation in hopes of attracting more audiences, and having large casts and orchestras (Cohen 248). 2.
I have listened to country music since I was a little, as did my husband. For him, it's a reminder of a simpler time, helping his father farm, plowing fields into the night. For me, it's a reminiscence of sunning myself in my backyard over summer vacation. The twangy sounds of the guitars and the fiddles always seemed to make me feel at home. For me, country music is a way of life, therefore the reasons I will use in an attempt to persuade you that country music is better than other music include its deep history in America, the quality and content of the music and its relatability.
I think classic rock is the best because it is true classic music. It is what started all rock of today. Classic rock is better than most rock days because it sounded way better back when the classic rock bands were popular. Today the “classic rock” is not as good as it was. Bands like Nirvana, The Beach Boys, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc, are the bands that started it all.
All across the world, music is a major part of daily lives. Different genres, instruments, languages, and rhythms may exist, but the fact that music brings people of different races and religion together remains untouched. The Grand Ole Opry, a show that began in Nashville, Tennessee, has brought millions of people together over the years. Whether a person is tuning in to the AM station, online, on the app, or enjoying a live show at the historic Grand Ole Opry House, all Opry listeners share the same passion for country music, bluegrass, gospel, and of course, a laugh every now and then.
The changes in rock and roll music reflected the mood of the population in the United States during the Vietnam War. Rock and roll, written as rock ‘n’ roll, music was fully born in the 1950’s and formed from electric blues and gospel music. Rock and roll is characterized by electric guitars, a strong rhythm and youth-orientated music. This music became popular because of the children of the decade. Parents called this type of music “noise.” While parents were listening to calm music, their children were listening to rock n roll.
Everyone can say that music has become a major part of almost everything in our lives, but many argue about whether or not music is a luxury or whether we need it to survive. Music has been around for as long as anyone can remember, yes it has evolved, but there’s always been music it seems. From tribes performing their rituals with music, all the way to someone listening to it just for fun. But, many say that a human needs music to survive, that without it life would not go on. And like mentioned before, it has been around for many years and it seems like one cannot picture a world without it. In my opinion, I believe, that one does not need music to live, it is just something people like to do while studying, practicing a sport, or just for fun.
This study demonstrated that pop music influences happiness mood. As hypothesized participants in the pop music category were influence by the music and seem happier. The analysis revealed that participants in the rock and classical music categories didn’t have an effect in their mood. The results for rock and classical music did not supported the hypothesis, which rock music causes a person to have an aggressive mood, and classical music will lead to a calmer mood. The data support the primacy effect pop music results supported the hypothesis that pop music leads to a happier mood. The results from this data support from previous literature research such as the pop category. The results could also interpret as support for (Hargreaves, 1999). People make their music preferences based on the emotional state they are in (Hargreaves, 1999). The analysis revealed that pop music scored higher than students who had rock or classical. The implications for this study are to examine if music influence mood in a negative or positive aspect). As an outcome happiness mood correlated with pop music . There wasn’t no effect between rock music and aggressive mood. Classical music didn’t have a relationship between classic music and calm mood. The results of this study wouldn’t be able to support (Jordana Mena, 2007). This consists of classical music being composed with different emotions based on the key and time signature it is on. If the classical piece is written in a higher key then they saw different mood responses than the classical pieces written in a low key (Jordan Mena, 2007). This study has provided that music is more than just a piece, of a lyric, beat, or instrument it has been proven that music can help people ...
Throughout history music has had a profound effect on a person’s mind, body, and consciousness. A song or piece of music can trigger vivid memories, and induce emotions ranging from deep sorrow to unabashed joy. Music can drive listeners to patriotic fervor or religious frenzy, or it can soothe the savage beast we call human. There have been many advances in technology that have let us study how music affects the brain. Music causes all sorts of activity in the brain, especially during musical improvisation. Music can tremendously help people with certain mind damaging diseases, and in some cases it can have negative effects.
People often refer to the decade of the nineties as the “decade of information” and when applied to the concept of music, I consider the nineties the most opportunistic decade which aided the success of music on the 2000’s. With the advances in technology and the popularity of the internet expanding, people were able to strategically use new forms of mass media to promote or advance not only political initiatives, but social ones as well such as new and exciting genres of music. The nineties included a major rise of grunge-rock, alternative rock, hip-hop/rap, and country. Bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam were making an impact and Rap artists like Tupac and Biggie were being commercialized mainly because of their on-going West Coast vs. East Coast conflict. In addition to these emerging genres, young children of the nineties (like me) were greatly introduced to dance-pop and boy bands. I vividly remember owning albums by the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and N’Sync. Like musical artists before them, all of these new artists mainly sang about real-life situations that people go through or that they went through. Either way, children of the nineties and 2000’s were able to relate to the music because it reflected the world that was revolving around them both generally and individually. Music during this time was influenced by the somewhat chaotic political climate and the progressing social climate but it was a combination of both that affected what I listened to and what I listen to today.

Development in computer technology has also made a big impression on music. Many things within these fields have enabled artists to connect with their fans in ways they couldn’t before, and on a lower budget. In this paper, the discussion will be about all of these topics, and about the factors that help transform the music industry into something altogether easier for new people to contribute to. History: Back in the early 1980’s, record labels controlled what people could hear through airplay, record distribution and manufacturing, and selective promotion of music based on their judgement of their audience.
Throughout the history of America, the citizens have banded together into a society to solve problems, to help the nation grow by being socially responsible. Social responsibility is defined in many ways, for instance, many people define social responsibility as doing activities that benefit society and help it grow, but is that really true? People go along with their daily lives doing the same things they do everyday for themselves, but really they should go beyond what they do in order to help others. To be a socially responsible citizen in an American society is by upholding the values and ideals of democracy to ensure that the citizens can live in a society where they feel safe and preparing America for the future.
Many people take an advantage of Freedom of speech in their music. Rappers and rocker often does this in their albums and playlist. They use violent words that’s not protected by The First Amendment. Many of them uses violent phrases that can offend most listeners. Offensive music should be banned.
The other way is streaming a movie through the internet. For this to happen, people would mainly buy the monthly subscriptions such as Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime. Through this subscription, people do not only watch movies in their homes, but they also watch television shows. The only downside is there is a very limited number of movies added onto these providers.
Once again, radio is currently at a crucial stance. FM radio was once the means in which someone could find out about new music artists, hear their favorite top songs, and catch up on local/world news. However, with the surge of the Internet at the turn of the century, the role of the radio starts to diminish. The Internet can now be used for gathering local news or weather in a fast and efficient manner. It can also be used as a way for music fans to find new artists similar to ones that they currently like, and (although not legal) ease in the process of downloading complete albums in high-quality formats for free. CD and MP3 players are now very popular for the person “on-the-go,” and as a result, it’s very easy to find people that remark: “I don’t listen to radio.” The reason for this is that radio has lost its niche. No longer is radio as convenient of a means to get news and experience new or popular music. Radio is forced, once again, to innovate itself in order to keep from being eliminating by the more popular types of med...
