Over the decades, music has evolved; from the classics to today’s contemporary music. In the 1960’s it was all about The Beatles, 1970’s was about Pink Floyd, 1980’s was about the king of pop: Michael Jackson, Nirvana in the 1990’s, and Green Day in the 2000’s. However today’s artists are completely different from the previous generations in terms of composition and quality. The songs' composition have change in the structure of the lyrics. The lyrics of the new songs have become so catchy and meaningful. Something that many artist of past decades couldn’t do with their long and unique songs. But who would want to hear about Yesterday when you can hear about a man in love with the “coco.” The quality of the songs have also improved, and …show more content…
Because what is better than showing everyone the way you and your lover grind against each other as you dance. Twerking wouldn’t become very popular without the help of Miley Cyrus and her bottom. Although twerking has existed for a very long time, Miley Cyrus was the first to popularize it, wiith her great performance at the 2013 Vma’s. There she showed everyone that anybody can dance it even if you don’t have the bottom for it. Today’s music has also helped many go through the hardships of life. For example, Taylor Swift has help us all with the songs of her breakups. After seeing how she writes a song for every breakup she has had, makes the audience feel asure that they are those who have worse experience with relationships. Music is such an important and relieving thing that has brought happiness and comfort to teenagers. What else can be as inspiring as 679 , it’s a wonderful piece of musical art. A huge gap exists between the 20th century music and the 21st century and that’s due to the wonderful songs we have now. Who wouldn’t like a song about a guy’s anaconda or girls bad breakups, what else can be as interesting as that. The classical music has such a cliche lyrics of actually writing something meaningful and unique. But who would want that when you have such amazing music in the 21st
Music is always changing with the times. The more different types of music made, leads to having more genres of music to choose from. This begs the question how do we truly know what type of music we are listening too? With the way music is currently, putting music in the correct genre can prove to be troublesome. Reason being, the ideas of past genres are incorporated into current genres which makes labeling a song with the correct genre difficult. It takes a thorough analysis with strong listening skills to help find the key which in turn unlocks the door of mystery to the current song. Can we truly analyze and categorize what we listen to currently? Only by comparing various ideas of other genres to a mystery
Great songs are ones that are never outdated, they are songs that generations later, remain relevant and worth
Gone are the days where artist, songwriters, performers, producers and records companies reap full successes of songs through stage performance and radio airplay. Since 1960, a technological evolution has created many changes in how music are made, played and performed. From the era where television and radio was popular with much of its viewers and listeners being the youth to development of the Internet and World Wide Web platforms, music suffered much development. Huge part of these changes was how music was delivered to the audience this time not on the radio or television but on the Internet websites where music
Today, sources of mainstream music such as radio, television and film soundtracks tend to reflect an increasingly superficial, formulaic and predictable mode of music production and distribution. The result is an increasingly homogenous mainstream market that tends to stifle creativity, experimentation and artistic vision in favor of proven commodity. This helps to account for the dominance of mechanized dance tracks aimed at younger listeners and the permeation of Middle of the Road (MOR) content aimed at Baby Boomer consumers. Especially in the face of a declining overall music buying market, the industry has become especially unwilling to take risks on artist's whose style is unfamiliar or
When creating music, there must be something that appeals to the audience. Music in this age must now be more original than ever. New genres of music are being born at a rapid pace, which makes being original a difficult task. “Re-Tuning the Music Industry—Can They Re-Attain Business Resonance?” by Sudip Bhattacharjee, et al, writers for Communication of the ACM, makes the following statement: “Each song is unique. Artists strive to be distinctive and constantly adapt and innovate their offering. Consequently, music consumers face non-trivial search and evaluation tasks prior to each music purchase.” (Bhattacharjee 136). The willingness for consumers to buy music, whether it is an album or just one single song, increases when the music is something they have never heard of before. A band such as Nirvana was able to do just that. In the
There will be more struggles in life as well as more music to comfort those struggles in the future. Good music still seems to follow these similarities of having their title in them, as well as being well known, and are still usually older. No matter what a song contains or how different it changes and morphs into something new. The good one will have commonalities one way or
When artists change, so does their music. Some change their style to appeal to a wider audience while others are affected by what surrounds them. Family, friends and lovers can play a key factor to the artist's change, whether it improves their music or not. Some of these factors help artists create music that sometimes holds a deeper meaning, but sometimes identifying some of these key factors can be trivial.

Nothing is more enjoyable than listening to your favorite song. All over the world, people listen to music on a daily basis. Music plays a major part in a tremendous number of people’s lives. While they are enjoying the music, they do not think about how the song came about. Music is not just the sound you hear or the voices in the background. People do not think about what is behind the scenes of where music comes from. Before the song is completed, someone has to make it happen. In music, there are different careers which are the song writer, the manager, the marketing executive, and the produced. Each of these careers play a huge role in how music is brought to the public.
If the music of the past has made such an impression for over 50 years, just imagine what the future of music can hold.
All music has changed tremendously throughout the years. Each generation has several specific songs that defines that generation.

Music industry these days is an open world to every one. Building own and expensive music library over the years or spending hours in record stores seeking for your favourite taste of the sound… is over. If anyone decide to hear album by for example: ’The Beatles’ or single called ‘Feeling Good’ by ‘Nina Simone’, it can be found and played within seconds.

In this essay I am not going through the argument, explaining what is good and bad about today’s music industry. I am going to talk about evolution of recorded sound, what is the very first factor that contributed to the changes of industry and mention eventual changes that appeared.
The music industry has been around for over two centuries (PBS). Its volatility can be measured by its ability to shift and change according to its time period, the technologies that arise through the ages and the public’s shift in musical taste. The music industry is comprised of many different components, organizations and individuals that operate within it. Some of these components include the artists who compose the music themselves, the producers that engineer the sounds created by the artists, the companies that handle distribution and promotion of the recorded music, the broadcasters of the music such as radio
The creation of musical works has always been culminated by several different processes and usually involves many people. The process takes a lot of time delaying the release of music. Advancement in technology has played a significant role in the music production by lowering the length of time it takes to produce recorded material. Artists usually sign a contract with a recording company that markets their music products. The internet and low-cost recording technologies have created a “do-it-yourself” music movement. New artists have gained worldwide recognition without landing a recording contract with a major record label.
